Nell Farina Carter
Age: 24
Height: 162cm
Weight: 54kg
Blood Type: A
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown
Born: May 30th
Hair of an earthen brown is cropped barely an inch above her shoulders and left to move freely. She has eyes of an unusually faint green over a small, slightly upturned nose and thin, pale lips. A smattering of light freckles trail over the bridge of her nose and fade beneath her eyes. Her flourescent tan complexion and frail silhouette can never hide the fact that she spends far too much time working feverishly under artificial lighting.
She's known to be very quiet, but often can't help speaking up when her strong motherly instincts find someone in need. Her words are especially casual and often slurred, giving her a poor impression with some.
Background
Nell is a woman raised under the influence of steady morals and a fair share of social graces. As a girl, she spent most of her days tagging along with her mother to the workshops beneath the surface of Earth. It was there she learned to love the sights, sounds, and smells of machinery. Despite the noisy environment and nature of those around her, she grew into a rather subdued young woman. She found peace in the workings and patterns of crafts of all kinds. Losing herself in her work wasn't uncommon at all.
In the whole of her childhood, she was known to have but one true relationship. He was the light in her little subterranean world. It'd been nearly a year since she'd first kissed him that he was lost in a steel casting accident. The sight and sounds may still invade her dreams at times, but the dedication to her work has never faltered. It could be that the workshops became even more of an escape after that.
Since then, Nell has moved to Mars after joining the GLM. There she made a number of friends who gave her nothing but encouragement and support on her quick rise to master status. The work was only a small challenge. The real joy came with finally allowing her creativity to soar. Her heart soon followed after meeting Dorian, an ISSP officer. His wit, intelligence, and fine sensibility weren't to be resisted and drew her into a loving relationship. Marriage was the natural result.
Life moved blissfully onward even after Dorian left ISSP, but it was his steadily growing absences that brought her worry. Then Dorian seemed to disappear. Nell's concern grew until the tension forced her to leave in search of her missing love. Months of feverish searching passed without even a hint of Dorian's passing, no amount of weedling or bribery gaining her anything. It was only when she finally returned to Mars that she finally reached him. Her world had changed while she was away, most thinking her lost or dead someplace far away. Everyone had moved on... including Dorian. He wed Katya the very day of Nell's return. Grief and confusion followed and, for the first time in her life, she found herself unable to work.
Nell was reclusive for a time and hid in the apartment she once shared. Almost two months later, she tentatively returned to work as a freelance engineer. Old acquaintances have noted subtle changes in Nell's attitude with lingering glances and strange pauses. Even they seem to've noticed a bit of Dorian in her posture and expressions. It seems fitting for a woman with nothing left to fear.
