[b]Name:[/b] Rebecca Ann Stillwater

[b]Alias:[/b] Shepherd

[b]Age:[/b] Twenty-four years old

[b]Origin:[/b] Baltimore, Maryland 

[b]Mutant:[/b] No

[b]Gender:[/b] Female 

[b]Appearance:[/b] 5 '8' with a fair complexion, Rebecca is a strong and slender young woman who has deep hazel eyes and rich brown shoulder length hair. Even though she has left the Military she still sometimes decides to wear a set of her dress uniform (without the rank) if she wants to come across as all business. Off duty she is more practical in her clothing; from cargo pants to khaki shorts, to loose T-shirts, or whatever else she finds comfortable at the time. 

[b]History:[/b] An only child born into wealthy upper class family in Baltimore, Rebecca Ann Stillwater has had many things given to her for most of her early life. Therefore, when she chose to join the military as an officer it came as a complete shock to her parents, they even threatened to disown her. Not affected at all the young woman blew past every training requirement needed, graduated from OTC (Officer Training School) with full honors.

Her parents happily received her back upon seeing her mold into a strong-willed young woman with her own high standards. When it came time for her to deploy though the experience was somewhat more jarring for her as she never expected to be part of a combat unit. Being assigned as Corporal Raynor’s handler after the Paige affected him didn’t do much to lighten her mood, but with the same resolve, she showed all her life she stuck it through and did as she was told with steadfast determination.

When she was given a General Discharge after the few incidents that disbanded the group, she didn’t exactly know what to do for a while. Having never failed at anything she excelled at she drifted away from her home of Baltimore to many cities across the USA in a vain attempt to find herself again. At a seemingly nowhere town in Utah she came across Corporal Raynor again, only this time she followed him after she almost had a fatal run in with some local thugs.

Her reasoning is still unknown at this time but she now follows Kushluk as he did with her overseas, perhaps she hopes in going along with someone she still trusts Rebecca may find herself again. Whatever the reason the pair are slowly but surely making their way to New Haven across the Badlands.

[b]Personality:[/b] Almost a perfectionist, Rebecca is someone who is very methodical for everything she does. Not one to sit around she would rather be doing something, as she believes hard work and determination will see through to any goal. She will rarely take no for an answer when she believes she is right and will fight to prove her point until she has cold hard proof showing she is wrong.

Though smart she comes across as a bit of a bitch as she belittles others in conversation almost as if it was muscle memory, while she holds herself to a high standard. Rebecca is a beautiful strong-willed woman and yet these traits of hers speak for themselves as to why she has very few close friends. Before the setback in the military she's never had a failure in her life until the military gave her the boot and she lost her officer's commission.

Around other women (especially those younger than herself) though she adopts a more big sister role, taking care of their needs if need be and even offering them motherly advice which comforts some and unsettles others. With the exception of Kushluk (even that's rare though) she treats all man as hostile threats to herself and the people she is around. In recent days though she seems more lost about what to do with her life, and for a young woman as driven as she was that drives her up the wall.

Per Kushluk's advice who is now her closest friend she is trying to change, but It's slow going. Having served alongside him she knows Mutants are no better or worse than normal humans if handled properly and if society works with them. Taking him up on his offer Rebbeca has decided to stay with him for the time being until she can find herself again and move on with her life.

[b]Items:[/b] Rebecca keeps a small golden locket around her neck which she rarely shows, which seems to have a picture of a smiling family. She also has a small Sapphire ring on her right ring finger, a gift from her father when she graduated Officer Training School. Also she will never be anywhere without her small Glock Pistol and a switchblade knife for personal protection.

[b]Other:[/b] Rebecca (like Kushluk) is very proficient in the use of conventional firearms but would prefer to avoid unnecessary trouble if it can be helped. While she doesn't prefer it she can defend herself through the use of SOME martial arts techniques that can disable an armed opponent without severely hurting them. She also loves to cook ... if she can ever find someone willing to try her food.
