## Adventures

### Pre-New Alexandria

#### Becoming Carolina "Reaper" King

Carolina King earned her nickname back in New York City when her friends brought her out for a drink and added a hot pepper to her bourbon. Their joke backfired when Carolina projectile-vomited into their faces to hard it knocked them unconscious. When her friends woke, they told her about the pepper & began calling her Carolina Reaper from nearly & accidentally killing them due to vomiting from a spicy pepper.

Not much is known about her home life apart from her parents being high society New Yorkers, her father (Reginald) notably being a businessman, her mother (Catherine) being an influence in high society comings, goings & doings, and her brother (Tiberius) becoming a successful doctor. Her family remains in New York City, but extended family live in French Canada.

#### Carolina Goes West

Carolina King ran away from New York City the night before her wedding to a banker-friend of the family as her parents were forcing her into this union. She stole her dowry and crossed the country on foot without food, water or a horse & slowly lost her sanity in the months of wandering beginning to hear voices & speaking with them.

### New Alexandria

Carolina King arrived in New Alexandria hungry for adventure & began meeting a few people who led her to Brimstone Expeditions. Run by Bill Brimstone, this adventure company is how Carolina would meet a majority of her friends including Dawn Hearte, Patrick Lake, Lincoln McCormick, Christopher Quinn, Lewis Clay & more. This is how she would meet Floyd Marshall & Molly Marshall (nee Crowe). Bill Brimstone would approach Carolina about conducting a shotgun wedding ceremony for Floyd & Molly in Valentine which would become Carolina's first officiated wedding. After the wedding, on a celebratory Brimstone Expedition to Tall Trees, Floyd asked Molly if they could adopt Carolina and she has been part of their family since.

Carolina King met Mallory Winters outside the bank in Valentine where the two became fast friends & began calling themselves the 'Queens of the Circle' referring to their wanting to rule Valentine in a circle around the town. Carolina would go on many adventures with Mallory after this including hunting, canoeing, riding to Saint Denis, & planning Mallory's bachelorette party. Carolina was told about Mallory & Roy's deaths by Lewis Clay who brought her to their graves in Big Valley to say goodbye.

During her time meeting new friends, Carolina King met Doug Heartland and accompanied by her friends Christopher Quinn & Lewis Clay, they journeyed to the Heartland Oil Fields. Doug Heartland asked each party member to participate in a baptism of oil & to not be in the oil for more than 10 seconds. Carolina King submerged in the oil for a second too long & emerged possessed by the God of Oil demanding worship. Once Carolina had awoken, Doug informed her that she had fulfilled a prophecy making her the baroness of oil & Doug Heartland's wife. Carolina King's adoptive family was concerned about the union and though Carolina tried to sway Molly & Floyd's opinion of Doug, she was unable to stop them from running him out of Blackwater but Doug was able to ultimately come to an understanding with Molly & Floyd. Following Doug's being run out of Blackwater, Carolina felt it was best to end the "marriage" for his safety & decided that she would not enter romantic or flirtatious relationships in the future.

With Floyd & Molly running Blackwater now, Carolina spent more time there & was with The Banks Family in Blackwater the day the Outlaws came to town. After the shootout, The Banks Family went into hiding & Carolina didn't see them much until July 4th 1899. During this time, Carolina had been kidnapped by a man claiming to want to teach her to appreciate life not realizing until they arrived on the Wapiti Reservation that he wanted to teach her to appreciate life by killing animals along the way. The man spoke with Chief Deerhorn and when they were dismissed, took Carolina to an abandoned farmhouse where he would reveal he could have killed her 10 times but has decided to bring her back to Valentine.

Returning to Blackwater after the shootout & with The Banks Family gone, the town had become ripe for bandits, including one Denzel Freeman. Carolina would meet Denzel Freeman at the saloon now called 'Molly's' in Blackwater along with another man named Salazar after returning from a camping trip with Davis Clark & Felicity Russel. Felicity would leave with Davis for Valentine & Carolina began conversing with Denzel Freeman when a man came up robbing Carolina of her revolver, lasso & repeater and robbing Denzel of his revolver.

Since these events, Carolina has wandered New Alexandria seeking adventures in all of its forms including sledding, waterfalls, cliff-jumping, horse soul transference, more weddings, learning new skills & starting the Review King. The Review King is an "anonymous" review done by Carolina King & Christopher Quinn of various locations around the state including the Valentine sheriff's office, D's Nuts in the Valentine saloon, and Sisika Penitentiary. The former of which would lead to some run ins with the law in the form of Felicity Russel & Jack Burton.

An entertainer at heart & full of the power of friendship, Carolina King has a habit of bringing friends new & old on camping/canoeing trips & hunting expeditions, performing songs at The Waypoint, participating in horse races & more across the great state of New Alexandria.
