## Appearance

Similar to the player from Peter's route, she has long blonde hair, sometimes strawberry blonde that looks red, and has grey eyes. She also wears eyeglasses that are similar to the player from Sebastian's route. In most of the chapters, the player is depicted to have freckles all over her face and was misunderstood by players to have dark spots.

Her attire mostly consists of regular black, grey or white t-shirts, and she appears to wear a lot of plaid shirts as well. She also wears green pants, stripped pants, and regular denim shorts. She's never been seen wearing a skirt or dress, which is very rare among main characters.

## Personality

This player is good with treating child patients with simple treatment like first aid. However, she is revealed to have had a traumatic experience during her time as a resident at the Blue Swan Hospital, where she was involved with a patient who suffered heavy injuries. When both Sofia Flores and Camilla Cresset had spoken to her about boys and Jarod being a heartbreaker, she also shows her dislike of men. When Jarod is shown in his casual appearance and as a fellow doctor and surgeon, the player displays her unawareness and jumps into conclusions when she angrily mistook Jarod as a civilian and prevented him from touching her patients who had a dislocated shoulder. But became disgusted and angry when Jarod managed to fix the kid's shoulder on time. She is also annoyed at times when Jarod keeps berating her for being stubborn to treat the heavy patient in her own way. Her hatred of men like Jarod also leads her not to join on Jarod's mission in Tabora, Tanzania and being angered by Jarod due to her rudeness when she confronts him. Despite she was fired by Richard because of the incident earlier, the player remains cold and annoyed after learning this from Mai Lan. But with Mai Lan and Jarod's defense towards Richard's horrible remarks towards the player, forcing him to put her under probation instead of getting fired and puts her in Jarod's mission in Tabora for a week to retrain herself, much to Jarod's disappointment.

She also demonstrates her dislike of Jarod when she keeps talking about the Gabriel incident where Jarod had fixed Gabriel's dislocated shoulder which resulted to his illegal firing. Her way of repeating the same incident, causing Jarod to glare at her. That happens when she attempts to humiliate further the same way but was backfired when Jarod had talked to Adrian and his foster brother Bakary Harding about the incident. Despite her dislike to Jarod, she becomes attractive to his appearance and looks.

The player is also friends with Mai Lan Dinh and Andrea Steinmann as well as her vitiligo friend and reporter Mindy Clayton which she maintains her contact with her once she was joined at Jarod's mission.

In Chapter 3 onward, she is somewhat a damsel in distress where she is frequently rescued by Jarod from Roger Bronson and his ulterior motives into killing her.
