Indigo Fera

Indigo "Indy" Fera is a character played by Mintreo.
==General Information==
Dr. Indigo "Indy" Fera moved to Los Santos in October of 2024. Before her first real day in the city was over, she made fast friends with Silver Amaru and Joey DelVecchio. Joey was quick to offer her a job at Premium Deluxe Motorsport, which she accepted gratefully. Indy was quickly accepted into the group and found her new home in Los Santos with the bunch of oddballs Jesse Pierce had hired at the used car dealership.
Jesse was a large influence in Indy's quick decision to apply herself to medical work again, despite her initial reluctance. After her acceptance into the Residency Program with the San Andreas Medical Authority, Indy started to find her footing again. She was quickly upended once more, however, when she was informed of her new family's dealings with criminal groups in the city. Indy is still deeply conflicted, and the antics of the group often brings her to a boiling point, though she hasn't let her frustrations publicly spill out yet.
Indy found a kindred spirit in Santiago Palermo, or "Santi", and the two often air their grievances to one another over fishing or other outdoorsy trips. The two have often conspired in teasing ways against the other workers at PDM, and sneak away together often. Who knows what for though.
==Physical Description==
Indy is 5'6". One of her most distinguishing traits is her hair, which now grows naturally dark purple due to an accident at her parent's dye shop. She keeps it short to easily sweep it beneath surgical caps and also to generally keep it out of her eyes, which can deeply frustrate her when she is attempting to focus.
Her eyes were initially brown, but after a plastic surgery done by Jesse, her eyes are now as purple as her hair.
Indy often wears denim or purple clothing. It was a goofy thing her parents did to help differentiate their children, and the habit stuck. The few outfits she has that aren't in line with her compulsion are ones that others have made for her, and the joy she gets from letting others have their fun is enough to keep them in her closet... for a bit at least.
==Background Information==
Indy was raised near Mobile, Alabama, on a dye-plant farm with her mother, father, and siblings. She was the 4th born child of seven total kids. Indigo always loved to explore and was attracted to the outdoors from a young age, she and her closest sibling, Azure, would often romp from sunrise to sundown then waltz home with frogs and worms captive in their pockets.
When she and Azure were just reaching their teen years, a fire started by a misfired gun in the storage area of their family's shop killed their two elder siblings and severely disabled their mother and father. With their grandparents living far away, Indigo and Azure took on the brunt of the responsibilities for their younger siblings. Indy became a surrogate mother for them, especially when it came to injuries. She was the default person her family members came to when something was wrong, and all her time patching them up started growing into them speaking of how she would one day be the first Doctor in the family.
Indy took those words to heart, and over the rest of her high school career she began to believe them too. Her times outdoors came to a halt as she threw herself into her college courses. She barely slept with her family and classes pulling her in separate directions, and, as a result, kept just scraping by in school. Indy hid her poor performance from everyone except Azure, and all her other family members just assumed she was excelling as she always had been. They offered constant praise that fell to deaf ears because of the pressure Indy had buried herself in. Azure pressured her to come clean about her frustrations and burnout to the family, but Indy had been pushed to a breaking point. What her family thought was an endless wellspring of caring had turned sour. She placated Azure by agreeing, then immediately turned around and applied to as many Med Schools as she could... as far away as she could.
Until the day she packed her car to leave, her family thought she was a prodigy. In a way she was. She hadn't jumped two years of classes because the Dean saw her potential... no. Indy was accepted early into the Vanderbilt School of Medicine with a forged transcript, skipping her junior and senior years of undergrad with just a bit of research skills and some expensive cardstock.
The puzzles of the human body were her passion. When away from her family, her grades were exemplary as she was no longer splitting her attention between her home and school lives. Things went perfectly until the time came for her residency. After completing a few months of surgical rotations Indy received a call from home telling her of her parents passing from their long-held complications from the shop fire. By the time Indy got time approved to go home, her parents had already been laid to rest, and her siblings were not welcoming. Understandably so. Feeling sick with herself, Indy decided to halt her residency in favor of leaving for a new start. Los Santos was the furthest thing from her home, and she hoped it would make it easy to forget her old one.
