- Psychological Profile -
Wen is quite no-nonsense and very independent, she's survived journeys up and down the carolinas before and isn't afraid of explaining the fate that awaits anyone with loud equipment or a loud mouth if the raiders catch them. She's never had a good relationship with established authority much to her fathers annoyance, Wen is also ingenious at devising ways to give herself the upper hand in confrontations.
She has a soft spot for the average wastelander trying to survive in a harsh world but the same cannot be said for Raiders, her cruelty towards them has no bounds, she feels that they deserve to suffer for what they do to people who have barely anything in life to begin with and her extraordinary brutality towards Raider prisoners and wounded has shocked many a caravaner she was guiding.
Despite her vicious streak Wen is also devoted to her family and friends and very protective of her younger sisters who reside with her parents in North Carolina in one of the many trading towns alongside Wen's Lover.
| {Fears/Limitations} |Alligators, Reptiles, Scorpions and Deep Water.
| {Place of Origin} |Wen comes from a town in the south of North Carolina where there is a settlement founded by former Chinese-American Internment Camp detainees, She works as a Guide and Caravan Guard for groups travelling up and down the Carolinas. She’s currently in the service of the Marshals as a Guide and Tracker due to her knowledge of the routes and habits of both states.
| {Background} |Wen is descended from Chinese-American Internees, her ancestors were detained during the resource wars at a camp in Georgia under suspicion of being Chinese Agents despite many of them being patriotic Americans, when the bombs dropped the guards of the camp fled leaving the prisoners locked in. After a couple hours they managed to break out and overwhelm the automated defence systems; they took a couple days to bury their dead and gather supplies before departing the camp.
Some small groups went west into the internal states of the USA, others went south or north heading to what used to be their homes. The majority of Detainees at this camp though were from the Carolinas so they would head north east following I-85, along the way they faced discrimination for their Chinese heritage, raider attacks, animal predation, radiation storms and mother nature.
After a few weeks the column of Internees with cow drawn carts piled high with sick, elderly and supplies reached a town in North Carolina called Columbus, they’d been forced off their intended route but many decided here was a good place to stop, they were worn out and they needed time to rest and tend the sick and dying. Some continued on and parted ways with the group.
After a few months the main group was still in Columbus, and had set up a basic perimeter and accommodation. A few years later the settlement had turned into a thriving trade and farming settlement at a junction between I-26 and US-74 where they offered hospitality to weary travellers and traders, It was around this time that Columbus earned a new name “New Chinatown” due to it’s majority Asian-American population.
Over time the town would gradually form a more professional militia and would give itself more robust defences with walls, a modest assortment of machine guns and a mortar. The town had negotiated deals with the mountain tribes of Appalachia and some other towns in North Carolina allowing them to offer some modicum of security on the roads creating a prospering trading town.
It was into this environment Wen was born, her family were traditionally farmers and merchants in the town. She has two older brothers and a younger sister, she was known to play rough and unfair with her brothers giving her an insight into underhanded tactics.
As she grew into her teens she received mandatory training with the Militia and went on some caravan escorts, guiding them to nearby towns and beyond and as such learned a respectable amount about North and South Carolina and about defending herself and the use of her weapon.
Upon turning 21 she went into service as a Guide for Caravans going north and south and after a few years in this field of work was recruited as a guide and tracker for the Marshals where she would lead expeditions and units through the hills, forests and towns of the Carolinas and furthered her combat experience.
After 5 years of this work she’s considering her next steps, but before she can make a decision she finds herself in a besieged town with a group of Tarheels and Marshals fending off a Raider Siege when some Northerners in armored vehicles showed up and lifted the siege, she would have to speak to these folks because if they’re going south they’ll need a guide and she's feeling ready for a change of scenery after that siege.
