Age: 16
Place: 16-17. She teaches the kids what to know as they grow up into food and clothing gatherers.
Description:
Long blonde hair(Which is usually messy all the time) with hazel(Almost red) eyes. She wears ripped blue jeans, t-shirts, and a leather coat. She also has some head phones and a CD player which she usually gives to the kids to listen to.
Personality: She isn't to kindly to others. She is somewhat rude but only in an impatient way that can only tell you that she is very stressed. She isn't very polite around new people either usually rolling her eyes or yawning as they speak. Her mind was always set in the gutters and had never climbed free. Though most would probably think that she is selfish she is actually the most sacrificial in the group and would do anything to help the younger ones which btw are the only ones she is nice to along with the oldest. When it comes to those who have well lives she can be a snake against and will most likely ignore them occasionally getting into fights too. Echo is almost always the first to throw the punch.
Being patient has always been a challenge for Echo and sitting still isn't much of an option unless she is forced. This only adds on to the part about her being stressed. Because she is however, even though she can be around the older ones, she can still be pretty mean to. Even if they were her family, she never really intended for her to act the way she does. Echo can't help it because her life is dedicated to the society and because of her parents who she found weren't her real parents. She always imagined a world of abuse and savagery. Everything around her seems dark unless it has something to do with the society. She never sees things in true color. Only in shades of grey.(She isn't color blind) This has made her the way she was.
She also refuses to show any succumbing nature. Whether its love or friendship, she is always looking at her superiority(Again not selfish) because she doesn't want to seem weak or just like any other weak and low life girl. This has given her a somewhat stoic nature around the little kids, others like Kyle or Jinx though, might not notice because at times when she knows she isn't superior to them, she just lays low, acts emotionless but doesn't surrender to whatever they give her or anything in that matter. Echo is a very strong(Physically and mentally) determined person, having ample amounts of endurance. One thing Echo will never do is break a promise. Her parents have done that to her to many times. The feeling of deception finally closing in on her and she doesn't want the kids to feel like that ever.
History: Her mother was a teenager when she had gotten pregnant and the father had left her. To make sure her life doesn't fall into ruins like on the TV shows she gives her daughter up for adoption. Echo was soon adopted by what seemed like a loving family only to turn out as the worst one she had ever had. After about five years of nonstop arguing and beating, her step-parents drop her off on the streets.
Likes: Bugs, poverty society, the younger, Riley especially, Echoes, music, and chocolate.
Dislikes: People with good lives, racism, smoking, blood, crying(Whether its someone else or her, and no money.
*Other: Her fears include, she will never be loved, one day everyone will leave her, tight spaces, and elevators.
The girl refuses to shed a single tear ever again and has since then, has not ever cried.
