LAST, FIST MI
I'M WAKING UP TO ASH AND DUST
I'M WAKING UP TO ASH AND DUST
I Wipe My Brow And I Sweat My Rust
Full Name: Pretty Self Explanatory
Alias: What do their friends call them?
Age: Pretty self explanatory
Occupation Before the Apocalypse: What did they do before?
Hometown: Where did they live before all hell broke loose?
Weapon of Choice: What do they prefer to use when killing Walkers?
I'M BREAKING IN, SHAPING UP
This is it, the apocalypse
Hair Color Style and Length: Bonnie has long flowing red hair that is her natural color but looks brown in certain lights especially when it's not washed. It reaches mid chest and it very thick, it used to be very well kept as the focal point of her looks. These days it's more wild and unkempt usually just braided and wrapped into a bun because it's easier to deal with. She can't bring herself to cut all of it off but small sections underneath are a little shorter and raggedly cut from when she used it to mark a trail to her hiding place, this is mostly on the backside near the nape of her neck making it look a little weird to anyone who actually messes with it. Her last hair band snapped several weeks back meaning her hair is now down most days.
Eye Color: Large almond shaped dark brown eyes are the first thing most people notice these days. They are dark brown with a hint of a reddish hue but not enough to make her eyes actually look red. They're framed by a large splattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose and arching eyebrows that match her hair color above.
Body Type and Height: Standing at 5'4" last time she was measured Bonnie is not an impressive woman but she's not short either. She's perfectly average and weighs only 115 lbs though that's more from lack of abundant food after the apocalypse than anything else. Before the apocalypse she was somewhere around a healthy 136 which she was proud of. She has a very athletic build now where she used to be softer.
Clothing Type: Her usual outfit consists of skinny jeans tucked into tall well fitting black boots, the tops changes between four tops she managed to bring with her main being a tank top that used to be white but now has several odd stains on it, a denim jean jacket, and a copper band on her ring finger. She has a beanie she wears on her head sometimes especially when trying to be stealthy or on a supply run she will tuck all her wayward hair into almost like a skull cap to keep it from snagging or drawing attention. Her other tops consist of a button up red plaid shirt, a t-shirt that used to have a cute saying but has faded severally from use, and a long sleeve blue shirt.
Marks and Scars: She has freckles. Tons of them and there is no way to hide them. They are so dense at spots people sometimes mistake them for a smudge of dirt before realizing what they are even before the apocalypse. Now it's entirely possible there is a smudge of dirt covering them but they're still very very thick especially over the bridge of her nose.

I'M WAKING UP
I Feel It in My Bones, Enough To Make My Systems Blow
Likes:
- Berries || Mostly blueberries and strawberries. She'd trade an entire carton of cigarettes for even three of these.
- Gardening || It's kept her alive for the most part, that and being able to identify wild growing herbs and plants as well.
- The Sun | It reminds her that no matter how scary things get life isn't ruined yet
- The woods | though thin where she lives now they feel like a safe haven from the world especially since most people don't enter the woods
- Music || especially birds now that there isn't much music left considering she can't really sing herself she enjoys the sounds of others
Dislikes:
- The dark || Even before everything happened Bonnie never outgrew her childhood fear of the dark. Now it means death not just fear. The only enemy you can escape from is the one you see.
- The Winter || Bonnie has always been a bright summer sort of girl or even the crisp fall but winter just isn't her season even more so now
- Large Groups of people || Though this is a more recent development. Bonnie was part of a group for a while managing to make their way back to Texas but they kept picking up too many people eventually it ended in the death of half the group. Bonnie's best friend died that night and so large groups make her nervous
- Supply Runs || If it means going toward walker infested cities Bonnie usually does without. She's been on a few runs but since the split of her group she isn't exactly sure how to do it alone and so she's either just scavenged from abandoned houses nearby or done without it.
- Killing People (not the Walkers) || Every life left is precious so why waste it by killing others?
- Leaders by Force || She doesn't like leading but that doesn't mean she likes being made to listen no matter what. If it's the wrong thing people will literally have to drag her into it kicking and screaming the entire way.
Strengths:
> Gardening || Bonnie has a green thumb and is luck for it. She knows how to forage for food what is poisonous and what's not... at least in her local area. She started gardening with her grandmother as a little girl and has done it as a hobby ever since
> Navigating by stars || Again only really in her local area. Though they were taught how to navigate the entire cosmos as kids Bonnie doesn't remember it much but she does know when certain stars appear (time of year etc), which way is "home", and basics such as that. Her little brother was the real star crazed youth
> Tree climbing || This is one that has saved her from a Walker collision a few times. You should only ever climb a tree if you know for sure the Walker does not already see you, if the tree foliage is thick enough to cover your entire body, and if you can do it quickly yet silently. Otherwise you'll just be trapping yourself and spelling your own doom because a Walker will sit and a Walker will wait. It has no where to be and nothing but time and you have a very limited amount before your body shuts down and you become one of them. Plus they never sleep so neither will you if you are caught.
Fears:
> Being bitten obviously, she has no idea that when a person dies not being bitten they get back up anyways -- her only experience with death since the outbreak has been with bitten victims
> The dark as stated before is a childhood fear she has never been able to shake. It's scary and unwanted and even now she has to deal with it.
Goals:
> Find Blake, Jenny, and her mother even if they are Walkers so she can at least have some closure and to outlast the apocalypse. Before it was to major in business and become an accountant.
I RAISE MY FLAG, DON MY CLOTHES
It's a Revolution I Suppose
Family: Mother: Cassidy Bloom Frankwell || Age 48 || Walker
Cassidy, like a lot of mothers during the initial outbreak in a populated area gave her life for her children to escape. She and the other two kids still at home were packing their car when their neighbor tried to attack Jenny. Cassidy threw herself between Jenny and the oncoming Walker after tossing Blake her keys. She was then bitten on the neck as she screamed for her children to drive and get out and to do it now. She bled to death on her driveway as the Walker tried to follow the kids who were driving off, Jenny hysterically crying and Blake somehow managing to be calm. She gave her life to save her children never knowing what happened to her eldest, Bonnie. As she bled to death she grabbed onto the Walkers leg and held him back from actually following her kids. After being dead for a little while she animated and began shambling around her house, the front door having been left open, before eventually wandering out and just making her way down the street like the others. Her current location is unknown.
Cassidy and Bonnie got along perfectly seeing as Bonnie was her pride and joy. Bonnie liked gardening and spending time with her grandparents, she made good grades, was social in high school, and she rarely broke a major rule. It was a good family relationship even after her father died. Bonnie was away at college when everything happened and had fallen out of habit of texting her mother daily so their relationship was a little strained at the very end due to lack of contact.
Father: Franklin Russ Frankwell || Age 46 || Died before the outbreak
Franklin was the sort of man who believed all his kids needed to be scouts and know their way in case they ever got lost in the woods. He made sure the kids went to camp, learned basic survival skills, and of course how to get away from an attacker (live ones anyway). He got sick when Bonnie was fifteen diagnoses with cancer dying just after her eighteenth birthday. He was a sweet man and it was a blessing he didn't have to try and survive in these times.
Brother: Blake Orion Frankwell || Age 18 || Survivor Missing
Blake was a big fan of the stars before this all broke out. He studied them as a hobby and was able to chart his way anywhere just by following the stars where they would lead him. He was a volunteer fire-fighter in training for about a month before the outbreak happened while being an unofficial volunteer around the fire-station long before that. He's handy with a wrench and was going to be a fire-fighter working on the repair of the trucks before the outbreak happened. He was home with his mother and sister when it started and at first he wanted to be part of the first responding team but his mother wouldn't let him leave. It was lucky he didn't because he is the only reason his little sister is still alive. He's been keeping Jenny moving and safe ever since.
Blake and Bonnie were good friends playing together before their little sister was born. They did almost everything together because Bonnie was only a little bit older than him and Blake kept up just fine. They talked every couple of months and text constantly before the outbreak. Neither know if the other lives.
Sister: Jennifer Lee Frankwell || Age 15 || Survivor Missing
Jenny is the baby of the family she's not particularly good at anything but she never really had to be. She's your typical fashion, cute boys, and social media sort of teenage girl who was excited she got invited to Prom. Now she's basically a burden on her brother as he keeps them both alive and moving the best he can and she is constantly complaining.
Jenny and Bonnie didn't get along that well because Jenny hated being "Bonnie Frankwell's little sister" to all the teachers who had her over achieving big sister before her. This makes their relationship before the outbreak very strained but they got along well enough as most siblings do. Neither know if the other lives.
