Appearance wise, Anna is about 5'3" to 5'4" and weighs around 125 lbs. Her brown hair falls in soft curls down to the small of her back but she mainly keeps it up in either a ponytail or a messy bun to keep the hair out of her face.
Name: Alannah Cortez
Nickname: Anna
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Equipment: Gator Machete Pro, a can of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC spray), and a 9mm Beretta that her boyfriend kept around but she has no idea how to shoot along with three magazines, not including the one that is already loaded. She keeps the magazines in her black backpack, along with a first aid kit and a couple of bottled waters and protein bars.
Personality: Alannah is a reserved person. She'd rather remain quiet and unseen than be the center of attention. Especially since her Spanish accent can be very strong at times.
Although she is quiet, it doesn't mean she's going to hold back if something needs to be said. She is a respected and respectful young woman but her temper at times can be a problem.
Skills: Having gone to school for Veterinary Medicine, she has a vast knowledge of which kids of medicines treat which kinds of wounds and illnesses; Unfortunately, seeing as how she dealt with only animals, Anna is limited when it comes to her expertise and can only hope for the best when treating a human. She's good with sharp objects, having done several dissections in her studies, so she prefers to have knives around her rather than guns. Fighting has never appealed to her even though she grew up with brothers and on a Military base, so she'd be of little use if an altercation presented itself.
History: Anna was born in Spain, on an American Naval base, and raised there as long as her father was in the military. Anna's parents split up by the time she was seventeen, and she moved to the states with her mother.
A year after the separation of her parents, Anna's mother once again returned to Spain to be with her family and Anna stayed in the states to continue her education. The young woman chose to focus on her studies rather than to enjoy her college years like the rest of her colleagues, which is why she seems to act much older than she really is. She managed to get herself a stable job at an animal hospital and graduated with her masters in Veterinary Medicine before the age of 25.
Health: Anna has kept herself well and in shape for the majority of her life. The only real health problem, wouldn't exactly be a physical health issue, but more of a mental health issue. Anna does has mild anxiety and has been known to break down in times of stress, although she has learned to control it because she does not want to seem weak in the eyes of others.
Past Occupation(s): Volunteer at the local zoo, paid intern at a renown animal hospital, Lead Vet at said renown animal hospital.
Other: Anna has no tattoos or extravagant piercings. Her hobbies were to stay fit and to help stray animals find homes before the outbreak. Running is not her forte but she can carry heavy objects and swim quite well. She has a paranoia of losing her machete so she tends to keep extra knives on herself at all times.
