[hider= Designated Annoyance Victim.]
Name: Dr. Annabella Esteves

Age: 28

Ethnicity/Race: Hispanic…-ish. She tells the census she’s Hispanic for lack of better answers. Her family is mostly Cuban and Polynesian and Cajun. And Greek. And Bohemian… She’s pretty American, in other words.

Appearance: Annabella is fairly pretty and youthful. In all honesty, she hasn’t really changed that much in appearance since she first entered college, which causes the majority of people she knows to consider her a kid unless she adorns herself in something very strict and business-looking. She wears thick-rimmed glasses that make her eyes look big, which further impedes her adult appearance. Ralf refers to her as “Kid” and “Li’l Lady” quite often. Whether he does this to rustle her jimmies because he doesn’t like the therapy process and wants to get probation over without exposing much, or he does this sheerly because he has no idea how long it takes to become a therapist and therefore honestly doesn’t know that she’s only a few years younger than he is, is unknown.

If this isn’t enough, she’s also short and sort of chubby, so she looked younger than a college student when she was in college. However, this will probably prove useful in the coming days, since not only is she 5’3” and capable of hiding much easier than other people, but her guts and skeletal muscles are lightly armored with fluff, the alleged gladiator approach. She is slightly less likely to die in case of a supernatural attack...

Personality: Anna, although she can usually alleviate this to a degree during her sessions, is a very no-nonsense person who takes herself pretty seriously. This is, in part, because other people tend not to do that, and she’s not fond of the notion.

History: Annabella lived a fairly normal life in Minneapolis with her parents and two brothers. She was always planning to be a doctor of some sort, like her older brother and mother before her, but she found that her mom and brother were always the first to bring home the next new bug that was going around, so she decided to opt for treatment of things a little less contagious…

Dr. Esteves went to Stanford University and completed her degree… Fairly recently, actually. She was hired right out of college by a clinic in Gravette, who seemed to have a stunning lack of mental help available. Perhaps this was why everybody seemed to be getting stabbed all the time...

Involved Yet?: Her patients are, in some way, though she’s a fervent nonbeliever herself.

Strengths:

She started taking MMA classes and carrying a handgun around with her when bodies started showing up and her clients became increasingly eccentric. She isn’t a fighter, not yet, but she feels capable, which makes her less likely to crack under duress.

She runs a lot to clear her head. Since her head often needs clearing, she’s learn to run a very long way without getting tired.

She’s small and relatively light, meaning she doesn’t make that much noise when she’s moving around.

She’s really smart, and has some experience talking people down from instances of high stress and/or particularly drastic action.

While not quite Macgyver herself, she’s spent a lot of time with her dad’s garage, and he was a locksmith, chemistry, and shop teacher at various points in his life. She’s made her fair share of improvised devices to help her through certain conundrums. She’s also had to escape her fair share of locked rooms with fairly uppity patients...

Weaknesses: 

She’s pretty easy to upset. Particularly when remarks are made about her age or her height. She’s not a very extroverted person, but being stressed does affect her decision-making abilities.

Stance: Actively oblivious. She doesn’t believe any of this stuff exists, and there are gangs of people out in the streets who need serious help.
