Gender: Female
Appearance: India is 5β6β and has an athletic build. She has hazel eyes and her hair colour is a chestnut brown. She is a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl and mostly wears sneakers.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Weapon(s): She carries a Bowie knife with her. She also has a 9mm Glock. she only uses this gun if itβs a necessity and she has no other choice. The sound attracts more of the infected and because most places are abandoned, sounds carry much further than they usually would. The only time she would use this gun is to get herself out of immediate danger.
Skills: India is a marathon runner, meaning she can keep up a fast pace for a long time if she has to. She is best able to use this skill on flat land, going up a hill or through a rocky terrain puts her on a disadvantage. She isnβt a sprinter, but so far she has been able to outrun and outlast the infected.
She knows basic survival skills like making fires and shelters.
Besides these skills, she is also a decent climber. Her family owns a small cabin in the woods, they used to visit this place every December. She is familiar with tree climbing and rock climbing, although without gear she canβt do the latter.
Family:
Mother(53)& Father(55) β Fate unknown
Brother(29) β Fate unknown
Sister(23) β Deceased
Aside from that, India has a real morbid sense of humour. With the zombie apocalypse on the rise, not many people can appreciate this. With the disaster and tensions running, she tries to stay out of conflict with people, meaning that she is less open to others. If India were to open her mouth, sheβd probably say just the wrong things to get herself killed.
Growing up, she loved being outdoors and being active. She loved tree climbing, her older brother had even made a treehouse for her. India is pretty thankful now that her little hobby has been helpful in her survival. Although she was a social butterfly before shit hit the fan, she has been quite the loner this past year. Ever since she saw her sister get torn apart by an infected because of an idiotic mistake a fellow camp member made, she tries to avoid big groups. But there is truth to the old saying βthere is safety in numbersββ¦
History:India, the youngest of three children, had quite the unremarkable childhood. She lived in the suburbs with her family. Her mom was a stay-at-home mother and her father the breadwinner of the family as an accountant. She had the picture perfect childhood. Her parents were really a boring pair, her brother was always up for some pranks and her sister knew all the neighborhood gossip.
She wasnβt a student focused on academics, preferring a football to her schoolbooks. Her brother was the captain of their local football team and ever since she could remember she would go to his games to cheer him on. She tried a lot of different kind of sports until she found her passion for marathon running. It was actually by coincidence that she discovered this. Her gymteacher told her to run 20 laps in their gymhall as punishment for another one of her childish pranks. When she was on 19 laps and she still didnβt seem to tire, her teacher suggested she should sign up for the schoolβs track & field club.
She was pretty successful on the track & field club, gaining a full scholarship for the state University her sister also attended. She loved running track but she wasnβt sure if there was an actual future for her in that career path. After a freshman year full of doubts and worries, she choose to major in Sports Management. Although not everyone was happy with her decision (i.e. her parents), she was happy with her choice.
On the day of the outbreak she was with her sister in their dormroom. She canβt remember what happened during that chaos, but they did manage to escape the first wave of attacks. Through some miracle they even found firearms to protect themselves. India and her sister planned to go back to their parentsβ house and plan from there, hoping their brother had the same plan. They were extremely close to their goal when the unfortunate accident happened that caused Indiaβs sister her life. She hasnβt been the same since. Only living day by day, not really sure what to look forward to.
