A bit peculiar and even strange at times, she tends to do things and think outside of the box. She thinks in a more logical way than most, weighing out what needs to be done and seeing resources other might over look; even in themselves. She can be unique in her way of thinking and acting, or at lest she tries to be. She doesn't like being thought of as being just like others, or being compared to another. The woman is very caring and charismatic when she wants to be, as well as genuine. She has a quick wit about her and cracks jokes, granted some come at the oddest time and unless you get the reference chances are it will fly over your head. An adventurous soul deep down but that has lead her to problems in her past. She has always been dutiful and the military helped her find focus she lacked. Finding herself among a group of others and a new family she cared for deeply. She prefers not to be alone and seeks out others to be around, yet there have been times when she has locked herself away from others to do what she felt was protecting herself from ridicule. Thana does not give people the benefit of the doubt. While she isn't one to judge and knows there is strength in numbers she is far from naive and doesn't automatically see the best in others. Opting more to give people a clean slate when starting and seeing how quickly they tarnish it. She does not forgive usually, figuring if someone screws up they most likely will again unless something major changes. (Like in her own life.) Having spent so many years in the military she has no problem with authority but she likes the chain of command to be definite and defined. She can follow orders as well as give them. She usually will not call out a superior in public but she will ask to speak freely behind closed doors, then all bets are off.

Looking for those "lost souls" that needed direction in their life. There was a massive heat wave and walking down the street between college bars an older gentleman had a heat stroke in the middle of the road. Rushing over she did what she could but it was too late. Standing there and keeping people back as they waited for the EMT the man came back and decided to teach those young whipper snappers a lesson it seemed by trying to gnaw on them like a dog with a bone. As the poor kid pulled away and the man was kicked back, a single bullet to the head from Thana's service pistol dropped him like yesterdays left overs. [b][color=0072bc]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b] Thana grew up in south Georgia and most believed that she wouldn't amount to anything. Sure, she was smart and beautiful but she was just born too late and became the spare in a family that only had eyes for one. A bit peculiar growing up, she never truly fit in and was always clamoring for attention she never received no matter what she achieved. Much of her childhood was spent with her nose in a book or in the woods collecting plants and insects. By the time she was a teenager she was lashing out and getting into all sorts of trouble. Hanging out with the wrong crowds and doing everything she shouldn't. Skipping school, drugs, drinking, partying, theft, etc. She had a juvi record a mile long but she didn't care. Bad attention was better than no attention in her mind. She ended up racking up a juvi sheet a mile long. By the time she was 18 she was already facing prison. Not for anything major but just because she was a problem and a constant drain on the system. The judge for her most recent crime charge knew she was smart and she could be more than just a drop out. He gave her the option - Join the Military or go to prison. Figuring serving was a better option than becoming Bertha's cell mate, she got her GED in county lock up and joined the U.S. Navy. It was going to be the Marines but when taking her ASVAB, she tested so high the recruiter pulled some strings and got her in. It was the best thing that could have happened for Thana. Her life completely turned around. In the U.S. Navy she found direction and recognition, a family in her fellow sailors. While in the Navy she quickly was able to get her degree in botany and then it was off to officers training. Years passed, she climbed the ranks, got her doctorate in botany, and found that her best place was in research. Being sent to various locations around the world to research invasive species of plants and insects as well as helping with U.N. efforts to teach locals how to best farm and utilize their lands and resources. She ended up getting "stationed" (for lack of a better term) in the South East with a recruitment office. Thana had become the poster child of what you could become no matter how far you fell. She would travel from high school to high school - mostly juvi detention centers - giving lectures on how her life started, what she had done in her past and just how far she had come. At the end of 2006 she was invited to UGA in Athens Ga to give a lecture to a post graduate class on the invasive flora of Georgia and how to fight against it. [b][color=0072bc]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b] Being in a crowded college town was not the best place in the world to have as a starting point for the end of the world. This "disease" spread fast and being in the military meant you worked with the local police, rescue, and national guard to try to keep things under control. It didn't go well and before long Athens was overrun with the Walkers. A last minute evacuation was all that kept Thana alive and she watched from the helicopter as the air force tried in vain to carry out an air strike on the city. The air strike hit but burning only went so far where these things were concerned. The chopper took her and a few others back to the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay on the coast of Georgia near St. Mary's. By the time they landed the place was already over run, though thankfully it was not as populated as Athens had been. Her and others were able to clear the majority of the Walkers from the base and hold up in one of the submarines for a couple of years. Using it as a base of operation and going out in search of supplies when needed. Yet time takes it toll on all areas. There were not enough of them left by the time they decided to move on to actually use the submarine so the choice was made to lock up and leave in search of more. Maybe given enough time thy could get enough people and train them so they could actually set sail to ports elsewhere. It was a thought and one that never came to fruition. Within three months of leaving the so called safety of the base for recruitment Thana was the only one left. Over the last year she has wandered the state, moving a little more west each day and trying to find people. She has run across a few but nothing long lasting. Even though she was a hellion in her younger years, a career in the navy taught her quickly who she could and could not work with. Ever sensing shit was about to hit the fan, she would sneak off in the night from any groups she came across and move on. The last few weeks have been the hardest with the cold and snow setting in. God knows she needs to find some type of shelter and warmth soon.

After all the tormenting and abuse her sister put her through until she was eighteen it is hard to move passed it. Yet for Thana it is in the past, for the most part. She made her own way in the world away from Zoie. Now that Zoie is dead though she isn't quite sure if she should mourn her or do a jig. It's complicated.

She felt a deep connection with him, one she hadn't felt before with others. She thought everything was going great until the day he told her loved her and that it was over. She knew about his wife passing and chalked it up to that. Instead of fighting to see if they could work it out she simply nodded and packed her bags. She was gone that evening. It hurt but in the end she felt it wasn't love because she kept questioning if it really was that. He was kind, sweet, romantic, enjoyed the outdoors, and very handsome even if he was older than her. After the outbreak she has thought about him from time to time. She has no doubt he is still alive and figures he is held up at the Alamo, recreating the event and using Walkers as target practice: having the time of his life doing it.

They are alike in many ways. Being able to shut down during work but let a passion be seen behind closed doors. He is a tad unstable but Thana doesn't mind. Being able to work along side him without issue and then turn around and be all over each other like white on rice on a paper plate with a glass of milk in the middle of a snow storm is a welcome change. Yet now she doesn't know what will happen. Each are on different sides of the chasm. She will press on though and keep trucking until she can be reunited with him. She's waited this long in her life to find love, she can wait to find him again. [hr] 💔 [b][color=f26522]Gavin Comfort[/color][/b] 💔 [i]"An unexpected complication"[/i] The last person that Thana ever thought that she see again was Gavin, her ex-lover. Yet he showed up just a day after she met Ash. Now with the world flipping upside down again she is forced to go with him instead of Ash. She knows how he feels about her but she is still unsure how she feels about him. She cared deeply for him one time, will being separated from Ash change that? Right now, she knows he is a good ally and will have her back, so she will use that.
