She has an attractive face (one of the prerequisites for her job - getting posted on the international flights is only for the best of the best) with a smattering of freckles that she hides with make-up. Her hair is dyed blonde and kept closely cropped in a fashionable bob, but naturally it is auburn, a fact almost betrayed by her light green eyes and pale complexion. She has long, carefully manicured lashes and plucked eyebrows as well as a well-maintained manicure, all of which are signs that her job demands that she remain in peak physical condition on an aesthetic level at all times. Her teeth are straight and white, and on closer examination they show signs of relatively recent readjustment. Her voice has a reassuring southern twang to it, and though in the cabin she scales it back to maintain a calm air of professionalism, when amongst friends she becomes increasingly southern to the point of incomprehensibility at times. Her manner is generally endearing, though, and it's obvious why she has been so successful at her job in the past. [b]Background[/b]: Mary-Louise Crawford was born to a middle-class Baptist family of Scottish and German descent in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1944 to Reginald and Marietta Crawford. Her father was a US Marine who was killed on Okinawa before Mary-Louise was born, and she was raised by her mother's second husband Clarence Smallsford, who was a family doctor. She has three young half-siblings, the youngest of whom is fourteen years old now. Lulu had a comfortable life growing up - she was popular at school, but unfortunately did not show the intellectual aptitude of her eldest half-sister Sylvia (who is currently attending Vassar College). Upon leaving, Lulu spent a lot of time soul-searching while working as a typist at her step-father's practice. After an engagement went awry in Wilmington, she decided that she had to leave and moved in with Sylvia for a few months while she searched for a new job. Eventually, she was picked up by Northwestern Airlines, and her warm, charming manner and general good looks meant that she was bumped up quickly to serving first-class on international routes. Leaving her family behind in North Carolina, she moved to Seattle, where she lives a newly liberated life as a bachelorette in the city with her flight attendant friends between jobs. She has recently become engaged to a servicemen on deployment in Vietnam called Louis Speltzer, whose parents are French Jews who fled Paris during the Second World War, and was considering downsizing back to domestic routes so that she can consider eventually quitting and starting a family. Furthermore, her engagement to a Jewish man has already caused enormous problems with Louis' parents, and foremost in Lulu's mind has been how to break the news to her own, WASPish and traditionalist parents. [b]Personality and Outlook[/b]: Fundamentally a Christian, Lulu is also generally quite laid-back and optimistic. Life has, so far, usually gone her way and though she is not necessarily an intellectual, she has developed great pragmatic and inter-personal skills that allow her to adapt easily to most social situations. Her optimism may have been damaged somewhat, however, by the deaths of the other crew members. Lulu is an extrovert and a 'people person' and has worked hard over the years to deal with challenging social situations at work, so staying friendly with the other survivors and ensuring that communication does not break down is going to be one of her most important objectives. [/indent] [sub][h2]Capabilities[/h2][/sub] [sup][sup][sup][hr][/sup][/sup][/sup] [indent] [b]Skills[/b]: [b]First aid training - [/b]Part of Lulu's work with Northwestern involved training for a variety of minor to major medical incidents, and she is going to be able to help with most small injuries accrued during the survivors' attempts to stay alive. [b]Navigational skills -[/b]Again, another crucial element of Lulu's training was developing navigational skills in the event of a crash. She will be able to lead the group in some direction or other at least. [b]Radio skills -[/b]If any section of the plane's cockpit survives, Lulu will be able to operate the radios to send out distress signals and other communications with passing planes. [b]Interpersonal skills - [/b] Definitely her strongest suit, and the reason why she was always so successful in her job. It might be important for her to keep up morale and mediate in disputes in the coming hard times. [b]Weaknesses[/b]: [b]Trauma -[/b] Lulu isn't in the best mental state directly after the crash - the other flight attendants and the pilots were people that she had personally known for years, and were people with whom she had flown the route many times before. [b]Lack of survival skills -[/b] Growing up in the city and being groomed to be an ultra-feminine stewardess didn't leave much scope for Lulu to develop her wilderness coping skills. [b]Lack of leadership skills -[/b] Though Lulu was instrumental in ensuring preparations as the plane went down in a calm and collected fashion, her ability to lead the group after the actual crash is going to be minimal - she is definitely likely to be more of a follower than a leader in this regard, as she looks for someone more authoritative and experienced than herself.
