History[]
1940s[]
Patty was adopted by Mr. Newby and gained Bob Newby as her adoptive brother.
1959[]
Henry Creel befriended and dated Patty at this time despite otherwise struggling to make friends upon joining Hawkins High School; upon learning about Henry's powers, she tried to convince him his powers could be used for good. Henry created a "vision" for Patty, where she could express herself through song while being supported by everyone around her. However, throughout their relationship, Henry was haunted by visions of a humanoid monster, and was terrified that he would be made to kill Patty.
Patty convinced Henry to use his powers to track down her biological mother. However, while using the power he called "the battlefield", he lost control and frightened Patty. When her father walked in and witnessed the scene, he was attacked and almost killed by Henry, being controlled by the shadowy presence. With Patty encouraging Henry to fight back, Henry was able to end the situation, but not before Patty's father was blinded and seriously injured.
After the incident where Henry's family were killed, Henry eventually awoke later that night and headed to Hawkins High, as he had learned Dr. Brenner was attempting to find Patty. A confrontation between Henry, Patty and Brenner then took place at Hawkins High atop the stage of Joyce Maldonado's attempted school production of Dark of the Moon. Brenner tried to convince Henry that Patty was his weakness while Patty desperately told Henry to ignore him. As Henry struggled for control, he informed Patty that he had managed to find her birth mother, a singer at the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas. With Henry feeling overwhelmed, the shadowy entity once again took control of Henry, and Henry threw Patty off the stage. After this, Henry fell unconscious once more, and Brenner took him back to Hawkins Lab. Patty was later hospitalized.
Some time later, Patty was discharged from the hospital, although she now needed to walk with a cane due to the injury she sustained in her fall from the stage. She travelled to Las Vegas, where she met her mother backstage after a performance at the Casino. It took a moment before her mother recognized her and the two of them embraced. Unbeknownst to Patty, Henry watched the entire interaction play out through use of the Void.[5]
