Dr. Annelise Jennings, Cardiothoracic Surgeon Female, 36 yoa [hider=Image] [img]https://lilymg.sirv.com/Screenshot%202024-02-19%20at%202.27.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?w=300&h=500[/img] [/hider] [b]Marital Status, Sexual Orientation:[/b] Widow, heterosexual [b]Physical Description:[/b] 5’3 in stature. Used to exercise regularly and although not bulky, her body is clearly toned. No tattoos or major scars. [b]Psychological Description/Personality:[/b] A kind-hearted individual by nature. At times feels she must right any wrongs and bring justice to light, which has gotten her into trouble quite a few times in the past. Often quiet and pensive, and if caught, will apologize and smile for her lack of presence. Though the tragedy that struck nearly a decade ago brought her to her knees and left her bedridden for days, she’s since improved. Needless to say, she does to this day have nightmares and if triggered just right, she may hallucinate for a very short period of time. This happens if someone she comes across has the same, or very similar mannerisms as her husband. [b]Education:[/b] University of Florida alumni. Attended the college from freshman year up to medical school where she was awarded her MD upon completion. [b]Family/Friends:[/b] [list] [*] Marcus Jennings, Husband - Deceased [*] Raquel Peters, Mother [*] Nathan Peters, Father [*] Stacy Dorman, Best Friend [*] Chris Jennings, Brother-in-Law [/list] [b]Background:[/b] Born into a middle class family without any brothers or sisters, Annelise had a relatively easy upbringing. Her family was well off and she got the chance to attend some of the better private schools in the area. Being a young child, she often got the question of “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, and her response was always the same: a doctor. Her passion never left her, and she studied her way into multiple scholarships with that one goal in mind. Eventually, once she graduated, Annelise took that summer break to travel non-stop. She visited many destinations, even some impoverished locations, and she also met her future husband, Marcus Jennings, while in Europe. The two hit it off almost immediately and had practically been inseparable since whenever they were in the same city. Being only a year older than her, Marcus transferred to her college prior to the start of the new semester. They moved in together that January and about a year prior to her graduating med school, Marcus asked her to be his wife. The wedding was simple, but nice. Family and close friends, maybe a work associate of Marcus or two in attendance, Annelise didn’t really count. She’d hired a wedding planner who come to find out would have a whole lot in common with her. Stacy became her close friend, and in no time the two were sharing secrets and the occasional gossip as if they were in high school all over again. Everything seemed well for some years to follow until unfortunately, Marcus fell ill without warning. Annelise took some time off to spend it with him, but she only grew sadder when day after day, there was no improvement and no promises from his doctors. She was frantic, and amidst the chaos, Marcus’ only sibling, Chris, came to town to be with his bedridden brother. His mere presence made Annelise feel uneasy, and her suspicions were confirmed when he tried hitting on her, cornering the woman in one of the break rooms in the hospital. A few moments later Marcus passed away, and the timing couldn’t have been worse as she wasn’t by his side but instead, she was fighting off his brother. Annelise took some additional time for herself, eventually returning to the hospital where she would go on to pick up as many shifts as her body would allow. Her superiors were concerned, as well as her family and friends. Eventually, with the help of a therapist, Annelise was able to cope with her emotions a little better, once more finding joy in the simple pleasures of life but not without the occasional break down and crying whenever her emotions got the better of her. How she came across this humanitarian aid mission? The Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery within the hospital actually recommended her for the position. He thought it’d do her good and seeing she didn’t have much to lose, Annelise agreed to go and lend a helping hand. [b]Other:[/b] Annelise doesn’t take any medication per se, but she does have trouble sleeping. Since her husband’s passing, she’s sleepwalked a few times, but she has not been all that active and does go back to sleep in less than five minutes. [b]Direction for your Character:[/b] Survive and get back home. She will help to the best of her ability but understands her limitations. Having a good friend or two wouldn’t hurt. She’s not looking for any romantic involvement at the moment, but she does desire for intimacy and physical contact, though this is not evident.
