Face framed by mid-back length bronze/brown hair.) [b]Name:[/b] Lavender Cycle [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Personality:[/b] Lavender isn’t exactly… the best with people. She’s kind of reserved and can be quite awkward in social situations. But, she’s also protective. Maybe to a fault. With an uncaring demeanor and a somewhat intimidating aura, she tends to be looked at with weariness even though she hasn’t hurt a soul out of pure malice or anger. If she trusts you, she will protect you with her life. It’s just a shame not many people are able to see her kindness for what it is. [b]Just[/b] kindness. Then again, in the apocalypse it’s kinda difficult to take anything at face value. [b]Biography:[/b] Lavender was a normal girl, born in raised in Georgia. Born to 2 happy parents with 3 younger brothers, she accepted the role of the oldest sibling with joy. At home, she helped around the house and looked after her siblings. With both her parents working their asses off to take care of them all, Lavender didn’t mind playing the role of ‘mother’ to her siblings. And at school, she did her best to keep her grades up considering her dream of becoming a doctor. She’d always been drawn to medicine and being able to heal people. Unfortunately, in some freak accident while her parents were at work, their house was broken into. The assailant was armed with a gun and assumed everyone was asleep while the parents were working late. But, her youngest brother wasn’t asleep having gone to the kitchen to get a drink. He was shot and killed on sight, waking the others. While trying to defend her home, Lavender was shot in the throat and the man escaped, never to be seen again. She’d nearly lost her voice and can no longer speak very loud and her voice was ALSO permanently deepened due to it not healing properly. She became the outcast after that, her family and she struggling to recover from the loss of the youngest son. She never did. She threw herself into her studies, pushing away friends and any sort of social life. For her troubles, she received a free scholarship to NYU after graduating early, where she would study medicine. So, off she went and she ended up staying there for only a few months afterwards. But then… the whole apocalypse thing happened and she was one of the first people to flee underground. Her paranoia, having grown over the years, drawing her down there. And it wasn’t until after the 10-year period that she ended up disbanding from her previous crew and went off on her own. Only to then stumble across the others and… well, you see where this is going. [b]Relationships:[/b] None yet. [b]What you originally brought:[/b] 1. A hunting rifle that her father gave (ammo and ear plugs included. They get grouped together.) her before she left to New York. She grabbed it before she left originally, having knowledge on how to use it due to going hunting when she was younger with her father. 2. Night vision goggles that she accidently took from a blackout paintball game. She accidently put it in her bag after a match and was too nervous to give it back. 3. A first aid kit. She figured that if she met some other people that were sick or injured, she might be able to help. [b]Skills:[/b] 1. [b]Good shot:[/b] She has good aim from having gone hunting with her father for years. She’s best with a rifle and a shotgun. 2. [b]Knowledgeable in Medicine:[/b] Due to her studying to be a doctor, she had knowledge in the human anatomy and can help with healing wounds that aren’t too serious. Anything beyond that is out of her field of knowledge. 3. [b]Hearing:[/b] She has really good hearing. It’s kind of a thing that runs in her family and because she always does her best to take care of it. (Stems internally from her blaming herself for her brother’s death.) 4. [b]Fast Runner:[/b] With her height (5’9) and the overall thinness of her frame, she’s actually a fast runner. Having been on the track time in highschool, it’s something she can have full confidence in. 5. [b]Reflexes:[/b] When she wasn’t taking care of her family, at track, or studying, she was playing video games. It was a good stress relief for her and provided some entertainment for her brothers and she. (Even her parents at times.) And it’s due to her many years of playing video games and having to respond quickly to quick-time events AND from having to keep track of some of the most hyper human beings you’ve ever seen that her reaction time is so good. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] 1. [b]Serious Suzy:[/b] She is a naturally serious person due to the harsh times and due to her inner fear of losing everyone and ending up alone. It also stems from her paranoia. She's always afraid that, should she let her guard down, she'll end up losing something or someone precious. So, it is very difficult for her to relax and this usually leads to paranoid thoughts or being distrustful of people at first. (And it takes a while for her to actually trust people. They'll have to really prove it.) 2. [b]Insomnia:[/b] After the death of her brother, she'd always had a hard time sleeping. The reason being that due to her sleeping, she didn't hear her brother wake up and go downstairs. In her mind, if she was awake she could've done something even if she ended up being the one dying. So, it's really difficult for her to sleep and she usually ends up staying up to keep guard over their home. [b]Other:[/b] Nothing that I can think of at the moment. Subject to change.[/center]
