Full Name:Erin Grey
Nickname:Not many nicknames for 'Erin' but her father sometimes calls her Airy.
Gender:Female
Appearance: Erin has large, green eyes and shoulder length, dark brown hair with long bangs that frame her face and often fall into her eyes. She always has large, dark bags under her eyes from a lack of sleep, and usually has her hair up in a messy pony tail or bun. She would only wear makeup if forced, since she feels it is somewhat deceptive. Overall, Erin cares little about her appearance and dresses for comfort. This usually means loose jeans, a long sleeved shirt, and a brown wrap loosely thrown around her shoulders since she is nearly always cold.
Psychic Ability: Erin can sense when someone is about to die. First, she will get a strong compulsion to write the details down, though she doesn't know what she will write until it is on the page. If she can't write it, or refuses to, for any reason, she will have a vivid vision of the death. She can only sense the death if it is someone she has seen before, though she does not have to talk to them or know anything about them. As long as she sees their face or hears their voice, she will know when they die and how at the moment it happens. However, the better she knows someone, the more likely it is she will have visions/write about other highly significant events in their lives. This can be anything, from a marriage proposal to getting a job to being in a bad accident. She never knows what she might write when the compulsion comes. Thus, she always carries around a couple notebooks since it is much easier to write these deaths or events than have to watch them in detail.
Personality:Erin is quiet in a thoughtful way. She is not shy, but merely prefers to listen instead of being the center of attention. Unless she is interested by someone or something, she will not speak unless spoken to first. She prefers to only give her opinion when she feels like it would contribute. Erin has no problem sitting alone daydreaming until interrupted by one of her compulsions. She dislikes being in crowded places and easily gets anxious and uncomfortable, especially when she does not know anyone.
However, when she begins talking to someone, they quickly realize she is not as silent as she seems. She is very blunt and straightforward, and will even be somewhat sarcastic as she starts to get to know them. She enjoys making others smile, though she rarely does herself. If the person she is conversing with seems quiet and hesitant, Erin has no problem filling the silence as long as the other person seems interested. On the other hand, she is just as happy listening and asking questions to let someone else speak. She has no issues with not getting a word in, and, depending on the person, she may prefer it.
Often, when she sleeps her visions cause nightmares or the compulsion to write wakes her up. Because of this, she gets little sleep and what she does get is not quite restful. For this reason, she dislikes both mornings and nighttime. She has mostly adapted to this lack of sleep, and, since she does not like troubling others with her problems, she will not mention it unless asked directly.
Every once in a while, however, she has particularly bad days because of her ability. She sometimes wonders if she is causing the deaths by writing them down and will feel guilty and depressed though she knows it is not actually her fault. On days like this, especially days when there are several deaths, Erin will refuse to talk about what is bothering her, withdraw from others in a way that seems almost sulky, and look for a chance to get away and sort out her emotions. If bothered too much, she will often say something in anger she will later regret. Once she feels in better control of her emotions, she is not above apologizing for what she said, no matter how true it was or how annoying the person was.
Special Traits:Overall, Erin is silent and blunt, but also kind and friendly when you get to know her. She is quick witted, though she often keeps it to herself, and accepting. She would rather go with the flow than cause trouble.
Special Non-Psychic Abilites: She loves climbing trees and will always be sitting up high if given the chance. She is a good writer, though she feels uncomfortable writing, even when it is her own thoughts and stories.
Feelings towards having a Room mate: She would not mind having a roomie, especially if they are a heavy sleeper. Erin hates waking people with the nightmares her visions sometimes cause. Otherwise, she would have no issues with it.
Likes: Privacy and quiet (though she does not mind loudness in moderation), good books, non-noisy animals, pizza, and climbing trees.
Dislikes: Too much noise, overly sweet food, her visions/compulsions, nosy people, and being pittied or worried about, television.
