[b][color=0072bc]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Varying as the tides
[b][color=0072bc]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Ash's [i]Woman[/i]
[b][color=0072bc]Personality:[/color][/b] Thana is an island onto herself. 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. The woman is adaptable, always was, but now it has taken on new forms, finding ways to push herself or even communicate in ways she didn't before. She can focus for extended periods of time to work through things. She believes that anything she wants she must earn and is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to obtain it. 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. 

	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. She doesn't like being thought of as being just like others, or being compared to another. Much of the time she must press the personal aside and not let it taint her deductions or color her actions. Work is work, personal is personal. The two should not cross and she does not let them, save on the rare occasion. Officers do not have such luxury. Her loyalty to those she cares about has grown ten fold. She was always about getting the job done but now she has an obsessive need that leaves everything else behind, even her own health. Repressing so much to a point where on the surface it seems she can lack any emotion at all. Undaunted by pain or reality, she pushes forward with a sense of urgency. She is protective, willing to lay her life on the line without thinking it fully out just to ensure people she is loyal to stand a chance. 

	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 and major changes do not happen overnight. Once crossed she burns the bridge, it is up to them and them alone to rebuild it if they so chose. If they do not, then she knows she made the right choice. If they do, then she knows they have changed enough to be worth a word. Thana does not expect nor give explanation to those she cares about or are supposed to trust her, if one trusts then one's presence should be enough. One should not have to relive the past once trust is established. It is one thing when you are getting to know someone when trust must be built, it is another when you have already had each others backs for months and years.

[b][color=0072bc]Your First Walker Encounter:[/color][/b] Spending time in Athens, giving lectures at the local university Thana was out and about around town, checking out the local bars and doing what she did best - recruiting. 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 to a mother 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.

	At 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. 

	During the next 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 of that winter had been the hardest with the cold and snow setting in. God knows she needs to find some type of shelter and warmth soon. 

	A single day in the city of Newnan changed everything for her. She discovered her sister was dead, she found someone she connected with, watched a wedding. Then everything changed again. Newnan was lost, she was separated from the one she connected with, she raided Eden, she lost an old love and a crazy person who might have turned out to be a friend. Over the next year she has kept moving forward, trying her best to keep her group alive and to finally reach Mexico beach. Now in Florida is seemed they were close but were they close enough?

	Shit took a bad turn when her truck went off the edge of a bridge. She didn't remember what happened but she was told when she woke up in a hospital weeks later with a shattered face, broken femur, and a feeding tube. Apparently when she was pulled out of the water, she wasn't breathing and they didn't think she had a pulse. That explained the odd dream she had had. CPR until the helicopter reached MCB and an adrenaline shot later she was rushed into surgery. She didn't wake up for weeks and when she did she was in pain. Yet she managed to let the people of CMB know why she had been out. They sent teams out to start searching and as soon as she could put weight on her leg, thanks in part to the steel brace put into the side of her leg to help the bone heal, she was out of bed. And then out of camp to search, for the four she left behind, and the one who still needed to return her dog tags. 

	Six weeks before a new crew was brought into Camp Mexico Beach, she set out in search of them with one other who volunteered. She hadn't been heard from since but they were geared up for a two month trek into the wilderness. They went west, figuring that the extraction team would continue to look and stay closer to base. She was going in a direction they hadn't searched, just in case. She couldn't count anything out. Before departing she was promoted to Commander by the C.O. of CMB. 

	The entire trip was a waste of time, at least when it came to searching for those she was looking for it was. Thing was, it wasn't a completely uneventful trek out into the wilderness. Thana and her traveling partner were able to secure some supplies, reroute a large hoard and take out a group of hostiles along the way. It was a rough journey but they made it back. Thana had given up by the time they reach CMB once again. Little did she know what awaited her there. Now she is trying to put a life together among her family. The place is finally home.

[i]"Rule 1: Keep Your Promises"[/i]
He made a promise and kept it. Thana had lost all hope of seeing him again, so when she did she was half convinced it wasn't real. She had never been so happy to be proven wrong. Seeing him again made every thing worth it, in a single moment. Now it's time to try to actually get to know each other.

[i]"Keep moving soldier"[/i]
Thana still blames herself for his injury and loss of limb. That isn't going to change. Chain of command. She was in charge when it happened, so it falls on her. Yes it was an accident and not it wasn't a bite but still. At least he made it there and can not have to be on the move all the time now.

[i]"I left her in charge for a reason."[/i]
Some might think that Thana left Bea in charge when she left because she was the youngest and had all her limbs. That wasn't the case. Thana saw something in Beatrice. Maybe a little bit of herself. Beatrice had all the tools to be a good leader, she just needed the chance. Thana just wasn't expecting it to be such a long job for her. Though now she wonders, if it was the right choice even if the group did make it to CMB.

♨️/💙 [b][color=dc143c]Thalia Carmichael[/color][/b] 💙/♨️
[i]"I'm sorry, I had to."[/i]
Thana was supposed to have Thalia's six. For one minute she didn't and she got bit. She lost an arm. Thana put the blame on herself. Thalia lost her arm under her command. She had to go, she had to find supplies. She wasn't going to lose a friend. She might not have made it back with the supplies but she had a reason and Thana at least knows now the trip was the best thing she could have done.

🎆 [b][color=00aeef]Emanuel "Manny" Newman[/color][/b] 🎆
[i]"If it wasn't for him, I would have more than a limb lost on my conscience."[/i]
Every outfit needs two things. A leader to guide the way and a medic to patch things up. Thana knew when she walked out that door that if anyone could get Thalia to pull through it was Manny. Sure he was a dentist but the man had more than proven himself. Though she wonders if he understands.
