Approximately late 20s to early 30s years old. Pragmatic, tough, focused. Hardworking. Passionate and firey. Not prone to believing in religion or superstition. Drinks too much.

Stuffs that down and doesn’t let people close.  Born in a small town in the Ozarks but left when she was a teenager because of painful events. Returns to this town as an adult out of necessity.  Has many skills but she leads with her mind and therefor lacks intuition (which comes from the heart).   LEAD
