Character Name: Phoebe Elizabeth Ryan
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Bio: Phoebe was born to a lower middle class family in Kamloops, Canada. As a young child, she'd always had an interest and great respect for nature, enjoying the outdoors more than her twin brother, who would rather stay inside on the computer. Her father, a gun salesman at the local firearms store, saw this and immediately brought her into his shop to teach her about guns and self-defense, taking her on her first deer hunt when she was twelve. It didn't really sink in that she had taken the life of an animal until it was already dead and she could see the blood coming from its' neck. It was exhilarating and definitely worth the try again, so she went on her fathers' hunting trips every season, until he passed away when she was seventeen. He gave all his firearms to her and the ammunition, even letting her take over the family business.
In high school, she was a straight A student, not missing many classes (unless it was to go hunting/camping), had many friends and was the queen of the school. A few boyfriends here and there, when she finally found the love of her life. A girl. Kristina. She was beautiful and new to the school, her laugh was contagious and mesmerizing, as was her smile and her beautiful body. They dated for two years when Kristina's father announced that they'd be moving back to Russia, not caring about the love the two girls shared. Phoebe's heart was broken. She wanted to kill Kris' father, but knew that she couldn't. After that relationship, she closed herself off to everybody, knowing that she would never find another.
After high school, before the infection, she was readying herself to go to university to become...well, she hadn't decided that yet, when her high school sweetheart, Kristina, came back to her. It was pure bliss! They immediately moved in together and got engaged, Phoebe not wanting to lose her again. She wouldn't, she couldn't! Then, the zombies attacked. Kris was the first to go. The first to die. The first human that Phoebe had to kill in order to protect herself. The feeling of having to pull the trigger on her own beloved caused her to die inside, her outside hardening and that's when she began smoking.
Wanting to get away from the memories, she traveled down to the United States to find a place to stay, hoping to get away from all the mess that she'd left behind. She wears the engagement ring she had given to Kristina to remind her of the girl she had fallen so hopelessly in love with.
Personality: Phoebe has always been considered the 'safe' child, watching her every step, her every move. Observant, tedious, and polite, she was also considered to be more mature for her age ever since she was twelve. On the outside, she seems like a tough, brazen female only able to follow her brain and not her heart, following reasons and killing on a whim. In reality though, she acts that way to not let anybody in. She's a hurt child with an emotional past (which will be described later) only wanting to let go and move on.
