But when she was old enough to understand her sister’s jealousy she quickly resented and put an end to the babying. She always wanted to be like her older sister, Leanne. When River started high, they became one-sided enemies. Leanne seemed to hate her but River loved and admired her sister. Throughout her high school years Leanne picked on, bugged, and made fun of he, but she did nothing. She stuck her nose in a book and accepted it. River wasn't antisocial, just no one understood her completely or why she put up with what she put up with. River grew further from her sister through school and worse at home. Things at home began to grow tense as their parents began to fight more often and loud crashes would keep the her up in the attic, reading as she avoided them. Their parents fought physically often as well. So seeing that, River decided learning self-defense would be the best way to protect herself against them. When River turned 18, she moved to Colorado but her sister stayed in the same home. Even after bother their parents died in a car accident. The distance was a bit difficult for River at first but as she met people it was easier. And by the time she graduated she had a few close friends and a bigger collection of novels and books. She lived her life peacefully until the bombs began to drop. She watched as bombs hit major cities first and fear overtook her heart. River quickly left the city and went out on the road into the mountains. Frantically, River called and messaged her sister to meet up with her, hoping she wasn't already too late. Soon bombs began to drop more frequently and in smaller towns, devastating the world, so she decided to stay in the middle of nowhere until the war was over. River knew from all of her reading that the outskirts were the best places to survive. Hoping that her sister was okay, she headed back to her barren wasteland of a hometown. Walking through the ruined graveyard of houses she stopped at hers and prayed her sister would still be alive. Don't let me be too late... [color=008B8B]Personality:[/color] River is kindhearted and sweet. Of the two sisters, she is the more sensitive and emotional one. It could be said that she has enough emotions for the both of them. She is loving and caring to everyone, but cam be extremely shy. Shyness is her main downfall, however she is social when she knows people. Even before the world ended she wasn't very social and more kept to herself. The awkward, bookworm as her sister called her. She doesn't think that killing first and asking questions layer is the way to go, unlike her sister. River is the complete opposite of her sister when it comes to morals. She also still believes the world can be fixed, but has almost given up on trying. Now she just yearns to get through day after day and survive the longest she can.
