Name : Rose Lyon
Age : 23
Occupation : ASL interperator before the apocalypse
Skills :
- ASL
- Lip Reading
- Cooking
- Lie Detection (she can tell when people are being dishonest by their facial expression and body movements. She can spot tells right away)
Weapons : Tire Thumper
Personality : Quiet only because she is extremely observant. People tend to reveal their inner selves more around her because they forget that just because she is deaf does not mean she is stupid. She is actually incredibly intelligent.
Bio : Rose was not born deaf. A car accident when she was 12 caused her to lose her hearing. But her other senses sharpened. She taught herself to read lips by the time she was 14. She became an interperator and a huge advocate for the deaf community, encouraging others to realize that the deaf are not handicapped, they just do things differently.
Her sister and father helped her adjust to the new world after the walkers appeared, but they were both killed, her sister by walkers and her father by raiders. She has been on her own ever since but she knows she will not survive long. But finding a group to accept her has been challenging. No one sees a deaf person as any value, more like a liability. People have thrown rocks at her and shot at her to keep her away from them. One group went so far as to set off firecrackers to draw walkers towards her. Rose has become a bit like a stray dog, wary of the next hand that might strike her but still hoping for the kindness of strangers.
