Candy is a cheerful and tomboyish orphan who spent her first years at the orphanage Pony's Home near Lake Michigan around the beginning of the 20th century. In later years she was first taken in by the Leagans (who treated her poorly) before she was adopted by the wealthy Ardley family (therefore Candice White Ardley).
