Tales from childhood: Who are you?

"Do you remember your childhood, parents or name?" Timothy asked the lady in red.

"No. I don't remember any of this." she answered.

Many people thought that this is very strange. Why does this woman not remember anything about herself? Maybe she forgot about it.

"This lady in red is too busy with work to remember her past." Sophie's mother said.

Meanwhile, Sophie and her friends thought that the woman in red had had such a hard life before that she had already forgotten everything.
