Simone (TV Series)

Simone Doe, or Simone, is a character in GWR's What Remains. Introduced in Season One, Episode Eight: "Rebirth" as a Miller plantation slave and escapee, Simone's actual name is not known. 
Despite having introduced the forename to John Smith in the Season One finale, and frequently using it since, the woman has intermittently used slipshod aliases in self-reference. 
Thus far, these have included 'Jane Doe,' to John, in S2E1: "Questionable Ethics;" 'Simone Jones,' on the Monroe ledger, hastily after seeing the name 'Don Jones' during S2E8: "The Long Dark;" and 'Someone,' in a yet-posted S1-S2 interim Sidequel, "Monster Monsters."
==Pre-Apocalypse==
===Louisville, KY (Unconfirmed)===
Simone has said she grew up in Louisville, yet has thus far averted elaboration when asked. 
==Post-Apocalypse==
===Monroe County, New York===
As a member of The Crows of Monroe under the wing of 'Eototo,' Simone said to have a notable level of hierarchical seniority within the Flock--allegedly holding the role of 'Hunter Primary,' in its unconventional framework. While John Smith is said to maintain the roles of Senior Banisher and Phasmophist Secondary, respectively, Simone's 'Primary' role, then, is matched only by that of Eototo, himself.

==Notable Inventions==
Both within and beyond the Flock, some of Simone's most notable contributions exist in her eclectic array of electronic Monstrophist inventions. Whether she is pre-learned in Monstrophy's dogma prior to S1E8: "Rebirth," has accrued knowledge in Red Eye deterrence, or has simply learned such tactics, rapidly, from The Crows is unknown. 
===The Mag-Net===
Simone's most notable invention is the 'Mag-Net,' a copper-woven fisher's net powered by a lead-acid, dry-cell battery used to contain the Dogmen's incorporeal affects. The utility is used in S2E3: "The Long Dark," in part, as a successful ward against a Dogman and, mal-psychological affects unverifiably absent, its pack lurking behind a treeline. 
It may be presumed that the Mag-Net, similar to Simone's other inventions, is scalable to a degree: While she and John utilized Mag-Nets in the form of back-strapped battery packs, a larger Mag-Net (and far more powerful battery) were seen connected to the internals of John's 1991 Mercedez Benz prior to Monroe's battle with the Dogmen in S2E3: "The Long Dark." Thus far, the Simone-coined 'Mega-Net' has not been seen in use: John and she were absent from the foray, and any application of the Mega-Net during Simone's recent travels have yet to be relayed. 
Thus far, two Mag-Nets for use were given to Kaari'n̥ai--and, presumably, to Terry Winters, Preston Hand, and Alfred, by proxy. 
===Telephone Gold===
Another invention of Simone's is 'Telephone Gold,' which was first mentioned in S2E3: "The Long Dark," in passing to Larry Thorn during a brief radio conversation between him and John. Relayed via background chatter between Simone and an unknown individual during the conversation, Telephone Gold's mention, in proximity to Simone's subsequent, bombastic demand that John "hit him up" while presumably referring to Larry, Telephone Gold, itself, is a utility yet seen. It is unknown whether Telephone Gold is a physical utility, a method of Mostrophism, or something else entirely.
===µ Rubra(s)===
Also crafted by Simone are the 'µ,' 'Mu,' or third-alternate prefix, 'μού' Rubra(s), which are a refinement of John's (poorly translated) 'Nothing Eyes,' or 'My Eyes': The invention is, allegedly, a powerful repeller of, and even decoy for, evolved Red Eye variants. Similarly alluded to as a psuedo-utility of Phasmophism, the 'Nothing Eyes' are said to 'scale' with a variant's size and strength--replacing a wielder's would-be exhaustive resistance efforts, both physically and psychologically, with a 'nothing' image akin to a creature's own mal-effects--preserving the user's clarity of gaze behind what is, in form and function, a phantasm-mirror. 
While µ Rubra(s) would not be utilized until S2E3, "The Long Dark," its proto-form--'Mus' Rubra(s), crafted by John--has thus far proven to be effective. In S1E6: "The Key," John succeeds in using Mus Rubra(s) against a small pack of Dogmen on a midnight trail. Mus Rubra(s) would also be utilized in an alternative, yet-posted, form during S1E7, in defense against the Red Fog--its usage thereafter seen in the S1E7 Sidequel, "What We Become." 
While the utility of µ Rubra(s) is presumably similar to Mus Rubras in form, its usage in S2E3: "The Long Dark" might suggest that Simone's refinement of the high-powered, bulb-lit monster-eyes took a more decisive approach to the instruments' 'monster scale' quality. Used in conjunction with one of John's own utilities, µ Rubra(s) are described in passing: The lamp-torched 'gummy' eyes taken from a Red Eye deer variant, which John faced in S2E2 "Oppressor," are far more viscous, emitting light throughout a woodland area to the roadside, beyond. It is suggested that the light of µ Rubra(s) was such that The Monstrophist could persist in the Dogmen-haunted woods for many hours at a time--and throughout the nighttime hours, at that. 
===Bright Mites===
While the alluded-to usage of µ Rubra(s) follows shortly after Simone's alluded-to usage of 'Bright Mites' against The Dogmen, it is unknown whether or not the two utilities share any qualities. Despite her self-stated usage of Bright Mites, themselves, in S2E3: "The Long Dark," it is similarly unknown as to whether she or John was the inventor--or if she'd even used "Bright Mites" at all.
