[B]Name: [/b] Jean
[B]Nickname:[/b] Bird/Birdie
[B]Age:[/b] 17
[B]Gender:[/b] Female

[B]Description:[/b]
 A teenage, home-schooled, high-school student. Jean is a student pilot who, before the apocalypse, was also involved in search and rescue missions.

[B]Personality:[/b] 
Called Birdie for her love of heights, Jean was born adventurous and independent. She is over-protective of the people around her, and does her best to make everyone happy. She has a strong mask of confidence, and avoids showing any kind of negative emotions in front of others, hiding behind a sarcastic sense of humor. She can be pigheaded at times, and her pride occasionally clouds her judgement. Although she normally avoids arguments, she is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right. She is never afraid to tell someone when she thinks they are being stupid or unreasonable.

[B]Appearance:[/b]
[url=http://tinypic.com/r/j79oxj/8] Here [/url]. [url=http://tinypic.com/r/x0toc3/8] And here [/url]
She stands at about 5'6". She normally keeps her dark-blonde hair pulled back in a single braid to keep it out of her face. She always wears a small panda necklace as a sort of good luck charm.

[B]Physical capacity: [/b] 
Jean broke her right ankle when she was around eleven, and to this day it still gives her trouble. She has a hard time running long distances, or jumping from any significant height. Despite those few limitations, she is fairly physically fit. She is an experienced student of martial arts, making her comfortable with close combat. 

[B]Backstory:[/b] 
(I kind of have crap I really don't want people to know. So since this is an RP, I'm gonna just give a few little details to help people better understand the character, but that's all.)
Jean was the only girl of five children, all of who were homeschooled. Although she was not the oldest, people always assumed she was because of her protective nature. Her father was addicted to prescription drugs, making her very distant emotionally as she tried to protect herself and her siblings from any of the effects of his prescription abuse. 

[B]Weapon of choice:[/b] 
Any short, strong weapon, such as a knife, baseball bat, or simply a stout metal pole. Cannot shoot a gun worth crap.

[B]Fears and weaknesses:[/b] 
Jean is claustrophobic. Any small, dark, confined places get to her head and she starts to panic. Unfortunately, despite her martial arts training, she is a major klutz and prone to injury from stupid things, like walking into walls.

[B]Interests:[/b] 
 Aviation, martial arts, search and rescue, animals
