Psychology
Adventurous * Stubborn * Curious * Impractical
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Raised without anywhere to truly call home, Sutton is an incredibly free spirit, prone to a nomadic lifestyle. She doesn't make true connections with people easily, despite getting along with them quickly enough. Sutton is the type with a lot of friends, but very few people who she could consider to be best friends. Her adventurous nature is thus a curse, but due to pure stubbornness, Sutton turns down chances and opportunities to give her permanence--systematic of her fear of commitment, no matter what shape or form.
However, Sutton is rather easy to get along with. She loves listening to people and hearing stories, and she has a few to tell herself. A bit prone to unnecessarily complicate things, Sutton usually goes for the most outrageous path to accomplishing something, rather than the logical one. Still finding her feet, it is unlikely that Sutton will "settle down" anytime soon. Her drive had pushed her towards joining the military, but due to her rejection, Sutton is confused and searching for something that will bring her new challenges each day--and perhaps, eventually, stability.

History
Life Before Apocalypse: Sutton's father was an adventurer, and her mother, a politician. The two of them had a love affair, and her mother kept Sutton mostly secret, avoiding the press as best as she could. Her mother ran for the Senate and became the representative for Kansas; Sutton and her father left the country, traveling the world to look for adventure. Her father was a drifter, doing odd jobs, as they navigated from place to place. He taught Sutton how to protect herself, as camp sites and bridges and cheap motels presented a lot of danger for a little girl.
When Sutton was eight, they spent a year in England, only to move on to Germany. The German authorities attempted to arrest her father for failing to enroll Sutton in school, and the pair of them fled the country. Roughly once a month, a check from her mother would arrive, designed to be used to pay for Sutton's education--her father, instead, gambled the money away on promised relics and artifacts.
By the time Sutton was seventeen, they had found themselves in Peru. Her father was attempting to look for lost artifacts from the Incas, when he collapsed one day from an intense pressure in his head. He died three months later from a brain tumor. With no family, the authorities attempted to send Sutton to an orphanage, but she left for the United States, intent on finding her mother and making peace. She found her mother happily married, with a picture perfect family, positioning herself for a cabinet position.
Rather than tarnish her mother's political career, Sutton ended up in Colorado, supporting herself as a waitress and attending high school. As soon as she turned eighteen, Sutton attempted to enlist in the US army. During the medical examination, she was disqualified due to asthma. Ever since, Sutton has been working odd jobs, frustrated with life and unable to find fulfillment.
Life Leading Up To the Apocalypse // What Brings You to Altsoba Constantly a drifter, Sutton found herself out of work in Boulder. A friend of hers offered to let her hitchhike with him to Alaska, and she gladly accepted the offer. The two of them became romantically involved, despite her wariness of relationships in general. A few miles outside of Altsoba, Sutton and her then boyfriend got into a huge fight, as Sutton thought that he had cheated on her with the owner of a motel they stayed in.
They broke up, with Sutton still unaware that it had all been in her imagination. Not wanting to hitchhike by herself, Sutton made her way into Altsoba, and was hired as a waitress at Jake's, a bar and restaurant located just west of the town center. Moving into Alistair Apartments, Sutton continues to feel dazed and confused, and when news that the apocalypse center was in Altsoba, she laughed sadly. It wasn't the worst thing that had happened to her, and as an atheist, she didn't see the harm in sticking around. And of course, all of the tourism would be good for business--more specifically, tips.
