Name:Kendra Bell
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Nomadic or sedentary: Nomadic but is looking for a sedentary life
Weapons: A 22 without ammo and a hunting knife
Skills: Kendra is a highly skilled medical personnel although her fighting, hunting and other skills are a bit lacking due to most of her focus centered around the former.
Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?: Kendra cannot feel pain which is both a curse and a blessing for her. Although she can feel pressure, temperature and the like, her
free nerve endings are either nonexistent or severed and is unable to send impulses to the brain. This can be problematic for her since she isn’t able to feel the severity of an injury she might receive or even that she is hurt but she also able to work through nearly anything that harms her, granted blood loss, concussions and the like will still cause trouble for her.
Appearance: (I can search for a picture if you are wanting one tomorrow) Standing at 5’6”, Kendra is on the leaner body structure although with the state of the world, it isn’t much of a difference compared to most people today. Kendra is found with hazel eyes and dark brown hair kept in a single braid so that it out of her way while working. With an average appearance, the biggest distinguishing part of her appearance is a deep scar on her left cheek and smaller scars found throughout her body due to her cutting herself without noticing.
Brief Personality: In order of importance, Kendra values her family (Keith and Payton), work and lastly herself. She keeps a serious persona around her keeping most of her focus and attention to Keith and Payton as well as patients and thus rarely gives her time to enjoy the moment and relax.
Background: Born to an upper middle class family, Kendra had an average childhood growing up as an only child. However as 2015 rolled around, things quickly changed for Kendra. Her hometown was one of the earliest things hit in the war by a stray bomb from the Russians which she avoided by pure luck due to her spending that weekend at her uncle on her father’s side and his family at the beach. Knowing that it would be dangerous for them to check on her family, Kendra permanently stayed her Aunt Christie, Uncle Andrew and her cousins Keith, Annie and baby David. Although she still remembered much before the war while her parents were still alive, did her best to push that part of her past aside claims that it is a life faded away from her memory.
While living with her uncle, Kendra learned a lot from the man. With him as her role model, she did her best to learn as much as she could about the medical field in hopes that when the war is older she could go to college and become a doctor. However as the years went by and her knowledge grew as quickly as the world’s population diminished she knew that becoming a doctor with a legitimate degree would be a farfetched idea that seemed to be something that wouldn’t come to existence. However she didn’t let that dismay her and did her best to model Uncle Andrew both in work and his persona he carried even through the turmoil and losing his wife and two youngest children. Living a semi-nomadic life with Keith and her uncle, the trio moved from settlement to settlement often making trades for food, supplies and shelter in return medical aid until Uncle Andrew passed away one evening when a trade with a group when south and led to his death leaving Kendra and Keith alone together.
A year later the two have kept up mostly with Uncle Andrew’s ways in giving aid, although both are much more guarded and careful on who they trust. Continuing east as they’ve always done, the two found a young girl that could be no older than six one day near the brink of death. Although she is in much better condition than when they found her, the girl is still very weak due to the radiation and Kendra doesn’t know how much time Payton has left. During the last few months the three of them have been traveling south in hopes of finding somewhere warmer.
Alone or with someone?: Keith (Cousin) and Payton
Other: Kendra has backpack filled with medical supplied collected over time ranging from but not only bandages, stethoscope, scalpel and all sorts of medicine although some of their expiration dates are a bit iffy
