Appearance: Kirsten is a twenty-one year old adult who stands at five foot one and weighs one hundred and twenty pounds. She has dark brown hair that has been cut in a short, pixie style for the past three years. Her dark brown eyes she inherited from her parents. However unlike her parents, she has round face and a clean complexion. She has thick bones for her short stature and at a glance can be mistaken for a guy. Her skin is gently tanned and at times rough to the touch. Like anyone who ventures outside the Quarantine area, Kirsten has her fair share of scars from encounters with nature and other, more hostile survivors. Though most of her scars are self-inflicted from her teenage years. Her left arm has several large burns, right hand has a couple scars by the wrist, her stomach has several small scars and her left thigh has about five long, deep scars; all of which she did during her teenage years. Scars that have formed from her adventures consist on her hands and knees from falls, although she does have a deep cut on her left temple from a bad encounter with a hostile bandit.
Strengths: Smart, Brave
Weaknesses: Deep Thinker, Overly Independent
Likes: Traveling, Drawing
Dislikes: The Military, Infected
Personality: Kirsten has never been a people person and often wanders alone. She's a smart individual with a brave heart and isn't afraid to take crap from anyone. This young individual is someone who will put her life on the line just to protect someone she loves. No matter the individual, nobody really knows or understands Kirsten. She's a deep thinker and sometimes when she gets so deep in thought she forgets to pay attention to her surroundings, which is a dangerous thing when she's out exploring. For the most part Kirsten is very open minded and is always someone who will listen to someone's problems then try to help them the best she can. People find her easy to trust despite her anti-social behavior. When in the Quarantine Zone, Kirsten likes to sit in her apartment and draw. Although after awhile she gets bored of sitting around and will go scout out a new task just so she can go wander the outside world for awhile.
Mother: Tiffany
Father: Benjamin
Siblings: Andy
History: Born after the CBI fungus outbreak, Kirsten didn't grow up with the easiest of lives. She was raised within the Quarantine Zone she calls home to this day. When she was a little girl her parents Tiffany and Benjamin had worked hard to raise Andy and herself to be afraid of the outside world, telling them that the Quarantine Zone was always safe because of the Military's constant protection. Her older brother Andy believed their parents, while Kirsten on the other hand didn't. When she wasn't being taught the basics of schooling and survival, Kirsten was running around downtown, a place her parents never wanted her to go. At the age of 12 Kirsten lost her mother Tiffany, to cancer. This was hard on her because now she was left without a motherly figure and puberty was around the corner. Life got tough on the family and pushed them to the limits. Although her father and brother disliked the black market down town, they took up trading family valuables for more food or much needed supplies. When Kirsten was 15 she joined an older man, Riley, to travel into the outside world to search for supplies. They hadn't gone far but the journey was certainly life changing. After a bad encounter with bandits and a near death experience, Kirsten vowed to work on her battle skills. She spent more and more time down town fighting. This was noticed by her brother. Andy and her fought about it but Kirsten blew it off. Then one day during a run, Andy showed up in an attempt to stop her. Instead of stopping her though he joined them. This run was further than the first and more dangerous. That day Kirsten's life changed again. The infected were thick in the area but things were going good, until Andy got lost. When she found her older brother she felt devastated. Her older brother had been infected. It was clear that the virus was all ready starting to move through him. Before she could do anything Riley had come around and shot him. When Kirsten returned back to the Quarantine, she told her father what happened and he threw her to the streets. Homeless and only sixteen, Kirsten moved to down town and continued her reckless ways. To this day she lives alone with no communication with her father. Every day the memories of her brother haunting her. Rarely does she journey outside the fence with anyone but when she does, she makes she there is no special bond with them.
