Appearance: Long, dark brown hair, which reaches her waist and is almost always messy, worn jeans, a simple dark red shirt, a cowboy hat she had to protect herself from the sun, and a red bandanna, with black boots that lace up to her knees.
Personality: Charismatic, goofy and confident, she is also very energetic, warm-hearted and confident. She can often come off as innocent in conversation, and a little naive. She is also stubborn and reckless, impulsive, often thinking first and acting later.
Backstory: Red was born in the ruins of a tiny rural Texan town, to a family struggling to survive. Her childhood was one of poverty and the drive to survive, hunger often being a familiar feeling despite her family's best efforts to keep their children fed. She had a brother whom was ten years older, and who she was exceptionally close to. He often took the role of her protector and teacher, doing his best to teach her to read, write and shoot. Despite his best efforts, Red, who was more concerned with running off and either exploring or causing trouble, is still mostly illiterate, her journal being filled with short, poorly written recaps of her adventures and doodles, although she at least became a competent shot and decent survivor. When she turned seventeen, her family decided to pack up the very few possessions they owned and set off across the ruins of what was once North America.
Throughout the journey, her family slowly died off, one by one, to either sickness, starvation or to the many mutated creatures around the country. Eventually being the only one left standing, Red continued to trek through the wilderness, clinging to optimism as a coping mechanism. Just when she thought that all hope was lost, and that she was never going to find anything, the young girl, finally having turned eighteen and armed with little more than a .44 revolver for which she had very little ammo for, stumbled into Appalachia. A place, despite the war that had happened only 26 years previously, which was still teeming with plant and wildlife. A place that some semblance of civilisation had formed. Seeing no reason to leave, Red has become content with travelling around Appalachia and occasionally trading whatever she can scavenge, having found a place that her family had died searching for.
