Figured I might as well get a headstart on making my character now rather than later. Same character as last time, though rewritten from scratch off memory rather than copy-pasted (except the appearence picture) and with some differences (mostly with personality). She only had like, 2 posts last time and I'd love to use her.

[hider=Miranda Crosley]


[b]Appearence[/b]
[hider=Appearance Picture]
I know it's a drawn anime-ish style but it's a more realistic sort than "giant eyes sugoi~."

Miranda is rather tall for women being at 5'10" and weighing 145 pounds even. She sports a slender, yet toned build, similar to ones marathon runners have. Her hair is naturally blonde, but she dyes it a light red color and grew it out a little which in most militaries would be a breach in protocol, but since she's a special ops soldier they really stopped caring what she did with her hair (before she was special ops she had the standard crew-cut blonde hair, however). Her eyes are normally brown as well, but she had her contact lenses specially modified to make them appear red.

[b]Name[/b]
Miranda Crosley

[b]Age[/b]
Thirty-one.

[b]Gender[/b]
Female

[b]Call Sign[/b]
"Red" after her hair and eyes.

[b]Personnel Description[/b]
Red's a very deadpan sort, prone to sarcasm and various other jokes, even in the midst of danger. She's no more or less emotional than anyone else, but she doesn't show it very much. Should she get angry, she mostly just fumes silently, with the occasionaly bitingly sarcastic comment; sad, and she just looks slightly down and aloof, staring off into the distance; happy, and she might let out a light chuckle or have a small grin. She's also easily surprised and a bit panicky when that happens, but she is very patient and has a tendency to underplay extreme situations (i.e. being under heavy suppressing fire is "slightly annoying," a habit she picked up from her British father who once said a helicopter pinning him down was "a bit of a bother"). Popping out from a corner and saying "boo!" will make her fly out of her boots, however. She also has a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the color red, for some reason.

[b]Backstory Description[/b]
Miranda was born in a middle-class neighborhood to a loving yet boringly normal mother and an ex-marine father. Her father was actually born in Britain and was hilariously over-the-top British, with an extraordinarily thick accent despite having been in the U.S. since he was 18 and serving in the marines for 12 years. It's a wonder Red never picked up his accent. She never did very well in school, nor did she have any interest in her studies, and it was with a minimal amount of effort that she managed to coast her way through with straight C's. However, she did love sports, and spent a lot of her time towards being the top track and cross country runner in the county, and still placing very high in the state-wide competitions.

As soon as she graduated high school and at the behest of her father, she enlisted into the Marines. She showed exceptional ability and discipline, and was eventually handpicked as an applicant for a special forces unit when she was 24, but failed to get in due to just barely losing in the physical part of the test to another applicant. She eventually got in four years later, after practicing her ass off, and from the special forces unit she was in was handpicked again to be the designated marksman/scout for The Division.

[b]Role[/b]
Designated Marksman/Scout.

[b]Inventory[/b]
She carries the standard set of equipment, including those fancy Contact Lens, Go-Bag (which I will assume carries the basic rations and stuff like bandages), Respirator, Smart Watch, Signal Flare, and a Computer. She also carries a pair of binoculars to help with scouting, extra ammunition for her weapons, and a utility knife (which is seperate from her combat knife). Notably, her respirator has been painted red, with white outlines.

Has a 12-inch blade and a bunch of other fluff that doesn't mean much because it's a knife and you stab things with it.
[/hider]

[b]Talents[/b]
Being the scout she is, she specializes in designated marksmenship (think shorter-range sniping, but still a longer range than an average soldier), recon, and stealth. She's an incredibly amazing shot at long-ranges, almost bordering on ridiculous, but panics a bit in CQC and tends to flub up close-range shots if shit hits the fan. That said, she's still a good shot with her pistol (and usually switches to that if entering an area that isn't condusive to long-range engagements, like inside a small building) and is passable in melee combat with her knife (Which is to say, the bare minimum amount of skill one can have being a highly-trained soldier, which is still respectable). She's also excellently stealthy and a surprisingly fast runner and very nimble.
