I like the Korra reference

I think it could have been she asked her mother for the bow one day and her mother (wanting to make her happy in the probable Hell they were in) bought it for her. A few days later her mother was either arrested or killed in an accident and she never saw her again, and kept the bow close to her (even when she sleeps), so that, in her mind, she's always there.
