[color=ed1c24][b]Name[/b][/color]
Gabby Dickerson

[color=ed1c24][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
African-American female, brown hair, brown eyes, slightly curvy and somewhat built. Often found wearing the wardrobe of light shirts and shorter shorts, and wearing a lot of sub par protective gear when working in the warehouse. Varying in paler colors for her tops, but almost always jeans at the bottom. Always wears a black and red pair of tennis shoes. She's built just a little, as she does a whole lot of exercise (not to mention her father giving her training drills sometimes), and with her work in welding in light industry, she has gained quite a few scars, burn marks and other such from being exposed to all sorts of stuff.

[b][color=ed1c24]Personality[/color][/b]
Almost always optimistic, with the mindset on the journey, rather than the destination. While she is rather resilient, she does have her own moments of realism, where she would quit for the good of herself or others. She sees the good in other people, though that still has yet to be tested.

[color=ed1c24][b]Background[/b][/color]
Gabby grew up under a veteran father and sweet mother, her father having served two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, each, under the flag of the U.S. Army. Her father, Jack Dickerson, wasn't around often for Gabby but when he was around, he was like the best thing to her. Her mother, Kendall Dickerson, was one of the wisest Gabby has ever known. Due to the high mortality rate of infants after the event, Kendall was quite thankful for the fact that Gabby made it out alive, and since then, Kendall has seriously 'babied' Gabby up until she graduated high school. Some of that still shows in Gabby's character, and while Gabby does know a bit about the world, she chooses to ignore it and not let it get to her. She currently works as a metalworker in a light industrial warehouse with some of her friends, who often fix various stuff for the town.

[i][b]Animal Bond:  [/b][/i]She has created an intrinsic link between herself and her dog, Kirk.  Through it, both have taken on some of each other's traits.  Gabby has a greater hearing and sense of smell(not on the same level as Jasmine, mind), but also gains some of his nature.  She becomes protective to the point of aggression.  

Kirk, meanwhile, has become a great deal smarter through his link with Gabby.  He is far beyond any dog, and most animals, and even has some level of self awareness and capacity for reason.  He sees her as his pack leader, and will obey her unflinchingly, and with his new level of intelligence is able to take on much more complicated commands.  He doesn't need to be trained to turn the light off, because when she tells him to, he knows what it is that she's trying to communicate.  

Though he may gain some capacity for English, he does [i]not[/i] automatically understand it(though he understands [i]her[/i] through their link) and will have to learn from others trying to talk to him.
