SODA ALEKS
Age| Nineteen
Role| Girl D
Hair| Blue
Height| Five foot
Weight| One hundred and three pounds.
Eyes| Lightish Brown
Personality| Her primary mode of living is focused internally, where she deals with things rationally and logically. Her secondary mode is external, where she take things in via her five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. She has a compelling drive to understand the way things work. Good at logical analysis, she likes to use it on practical concerns. Typically having strong powers of reasoning, although she's not interested in theories or concepts unless she can see a practical application. She likes to take things apart and see the way they work.
Soda is fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make her own decisions about her next step. She does not believe in or follow rules and regulations, as this would prohibit her ability to "do her own thing". Her sense of adventure and desire for constant action makes her prone to becoming bored rather quickly. Although she does not respect the rules of the "System", she follows her own rules and guidelines for behavior faithfully. She will not take part in something which violates her personal laws.
She likes and needs to spend time alone, because this is when she can sort things out in their minds most clearly. She absorbs large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when she is alone. Soda is an action-oriented person. She likes to be up and about, doing thing, which means she won't sit behind a desk all day and do long-range planning. Adaptable and spontaneous, she responds to what is immediately before her. She usually has strong technical skills, and can be as effective technical leaders.
She does not pay attention to her own feelings, and even distrust them and try to ignore them, because she has difficulty distinguishing between emotional reactions and value judgments. This may be a problem area for her.
When over-stressed, she may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which she feels compelled to share with people (often inappropriately). When down on herself she will foray into the world of value judgments - a place which is not natural for the her - and judge herself by the inability to perform some task. Soda will then approach the task in a grim emotional state, expecting the worst.

History| Soda grew up in an orphanage, never knowing her mother or father. Being one of the youngest there, she was the one whom everyone picked on. Once she got older, around nine or ten, she began to try and fight back, when she realized she could fight back. But it didn't turn out well. Things got worse for her, a lot worse. One of the older boys, she thinks he was around sixteen or seventeen, caught her sneaking out late at night. This was when she was fourteen, this was attempt number one at running away. They were both in the alleyway, and he was merciless. The older boy beat her up, took the money she'd saved up(stolen) to run away, and when she thought that maybe she would get out of this okay, he raped her.
It continued for months. He would blackmail her, make her do things she didn't want to, sometimes with him, sometimes with his friends. At one point she thought she was pregnant, having missed something important for almost two months, and she went to a doctor. It was then they told her she couldn't have children. They wanted to question her about it, but it was that night she ran away.
Life on the streets was bad for her too, but not as bad. For almost a year she lived in alleys and slept in buses. Though one day she met a counselor woman, she was older. The lady helped her get registered with the government as a independent adult, and as if by a miracle she got plopped down in an apartment. No boys allowed though, they check on her at random times of the month. Every month she gets a check for about a hundred and fifty dollars for food and other necessities.
After years of saving up, she finally had enough for her trip to France.
