-- IN CHARACTER --
Name: Mabel Leann Carter
Age: 24
Group: Civilian
Appearance: What to say about Mabel? Well, she's beautiful! Long dark hair that is usually left alone; curvy figure with smooth, dark skin; a soft chin and lips always pulled into a smile, and bright eyes that seem to be reading your thoughts as you are thinking them. She seems to have a warm smile and a kind and graceful sort of look to her; it's not something you can exactly describe, she just does.
Mabel has two kinds of outfits: The first one is when she goes out. She usually puts on very little makeup, but a bit more lipstick and she puts on simple sandals or flats and a sundress if it's summer, and if it's winter? Then usually a white blouse and simple jeans. When she's working in her garden, she wears a simple short-sleeved shirt, some ripped (maybe) or dirty jeans and if it's cold maybe an over shirt; she usually puts her hair up when she does that.
Personality: Your classic Jill of All Trades kind of girl. Her heart is devoted to reading Jane Austen or Shakespeare or Charles Dickens in her spare time, but her mind is intent on studying the human race (a hobby she picked up long ago); to keep healthy, she runs on a treadmill every morning and eats healthy food that she grows in her garden. The civilian works a job at a local cafe as a waitress, and also one as a cashier in a bookstore on weekends (she likes to always have money). She has two dogs and one cat and two birds, so she is even skilled in animals. That is more because she gets lonely, living alone, so she jumps on every opportunity she has to keep her mind busy or get something that she can talk to, weather it talks back or not. Because of this, she is, needless to say, always busy.
She likes it better that way, because it keeps her "healthy" as she would say; a busy mind leaves little time to dwell on bad things; she's good at moving on. Secretly, she had always planned to be married by this time in her life, so she surveys every boy she meets to see if he is husband material, but she keeps her heart guarded. She rarely finds a guy she deems smart enough that is available, so she rarely dates.
It is her goal in life to keep her heart kind. She tries to reach out to every creature she meets, and she does for the most part, but she does this by storing away anything that hurts her. Somewhere inside of her, there is a volcano. And with every rude comment, judging statement and cold shoulder she gets it bubbles. Some day, she will fall. And when she falls, you should run and take cover because it is going to be one heck of a mess. Granted, after she gets it all out she will probably have a mental breakdown and tell everyone sorry, but she will not be holding back when that happens.
She is a devout Christian; she prays every night and day and whenever she slips up - even if it is just for an instant - she prays about being sorry. She reads the Bible every night before bed and every morning when she wakes up. She does this because she believes that it will keep her pure in the mind; she will often be found reciting random memory verses when something bad happens. It's almost her way of coping with evil, even though, as stated before, her way of coping is something much heavier that will one day cost her.
History: She was raised with big dreams and high expectations, with perfect manners and a big smile on her dark little face. Her mother, Maya Carter, taught her how it was to do - well, everything she could think of. Knitting, sewing, cooking, gardening, cleaning, math, science, art, ect. The one thing she excelled in was Creative Writing. Though, she was home schooled, so she had much time on her hands; she was always writing from the moment she could hold a pencil. She made it her dream to be an author one day. Her mother and father approved of this dream, forever and always.
Sometimes when she would run from talking with friends to read or write, her parents would get a little worried. "Shouldn't someone her age take interest in friendship?" they would say, and later, "She should have an interest in the male gender by now, should she not?" but soon they learned that she would blossom in her own time, for she got her first boyfriend when she was seventeen.
His name was Christopher Derrick. He was eighteen, a Christian, and he had interest in reading and writing too. Mabel thought he was beautiful, with his shaved head and skin the color of a coffee bean, but alas; they were dating for three, going on four months when Mabel suffered her first heartbreak. But she did not make a big deal out of it; they just were not right for each other. She would find her own person in time. So she added that hurt to the volcano inside of her, pulled on some busy days, and moved on.
She went to college while she was still finishing high school (she did not live on campus) and earned a degree in Computer Tech as a creative outlet; she could make websites when she wanted, and she would always have a job that paid if she needed it. But instead, she moved away from her beloved mother and father and took residence in a small town, getting a job as a website engineer. Later, she quit that but still kept a small business of it, so people could request websites when they wanted, but so she could be busier, she took up two jobs: One in a cafe, and one in a cafe inside of a bookstore.
She lived a quiet life, getting animals when she got lonely and forevermore wanting to find someone to marry, though you would never know. She kept to her reading and devoted some of her time to understanding as much as she could/can about the human race. She started getting more and more obsessed with that as her days grew longer and she adjusted her sleeping schedule to fit her habits of reading.
