Personality:Turisa is an interesting individual. She has learned to adapt and improvise to her surroundings which has led her into becoming a strong, independent woman. Although with a bit of a temper Turisa is quite patient thanks to her old work profession where she was used to working with others. She knows that things cannot be rushed but when they need to be, Turisa can possess a sense of urgency, often being persistent and going to extreme lengths to survive. While possessing the typical humour for a normal, young woman, Turisa does not tolerate tasteless humour or humour she may consider offensive. But on her good days she can take a good laugh or joke on the chin.
She'll do what she can to help out if it benefits her situation, but to those who manage to really get close to her, she’s will be a loyal and protective ally who will risk life and limb for them. Though helping them achieve certain... Ambitions is another matter for the former officer, If she doesn't like something, She won't hesitate to let you know and sometimes may come of cold or to the point when doing so. Because of that people may believe she is a short tempered woman, But the truth is yes, Turisa can have fiery temper at times.
To strangers and acquaintances, Turisa will come off as wary and closed to the idea of becoming friends at first. She will still act like a human being though and interact when talked to, just don't expect to gain any personal information about her situation or thoughts instantly. Unfortunately for Turisa though, she is a passionate woman and sometimes she may act first and think about the consequences later, this particular aspect of her is worsened when her temper is flared, allowing her emotions to get the better of her, often causing the woman to unknowingly mix English and Spanish.
Brief Bio:Turisa was once a police officer in Chicago before the outbreak, She was married and had a young son of whom both moved to Atlanta due to Turisa's partner getting a new job opportunity, Turisa is one of 6 siblings, four brothers and one other sister. She was scheduled to transfer to Atlanta around a couple of weeks before the breakout occurred and contact was lost. She had a normal upbringing with five other siblings within the family and even went into the girl scouts when she was younger.
After making it to Atlanta, Turisa managed to keep to herself, while looking for supplies along the way to her home she came across an asthmatic girl who she tried to help after saving her life. Unfortunately, she lost her when the girl ran away looking for her father. This set her back a little but she eventually made her way to her home. As expected the place was a mess and had signs that someone was there not long before herself, getting her hopes high she went into the house, Searching, but she found no one and her cop side took over as she left no stone unturned for any evidence of her family or where they went.
Turisa wished that she didn't continue searching for answers, because she did not like them, her partner was gone with no sign and not even a message and her baby was gone but not in the sense of her partner. Upon discovering that someone cleaned her baby's room the panicked mother looked high and low before finding evidence of the old covers of the Cot covered in a bloody mess. Her mind went into overdrive, immediately believed her baby never made it and this destroyed Turisa to the point of near suicide. She couldn’t do it However and stayed there for days on end not moving, drinking or eating.
Once she snapped out of it somewhat the woman gathered what supplies she could get and got out of there. making sure she took a picture of her partner with her holding one of her baby close to her at all times. After Leaving Atlanta, the absent minded Turisa who mind was completely out of it, she had no plan in mind, no destination, she just drove and survived the best she could, grabbing what she can while avoiding major cities where she could unless there was no choice. Turisa often found herself in very unfamiliar territories and situations, the outbreak changed people, the survivors were potentially just as or if not more dangerous than the dead.
