Gender:
Female

Name:
Logan Ash Geronimo

Age:
24

Blood Line:
First Generation

Background:
As a child, she grew up with her grandfather. He was the only man, only person Logan respected, trusted, and wanted to be like. She never knew her parents, but it never bothered her either. She had her grandfather, and that was all that mattered.

The town they lived in was small, very rural, mostly self sufficient, and hardly safe. It didn't even have it's own shop, you had to travel thirty miles to find the nearest grocery store. Most people traveled on foot, since the only vehicles in the town were a few motorcycles.

You'd imagine such a small town would be comfortable, friendly. But not in this case. Many of the people here were broken apart by feuds and lies. An endless cloud of distrust, anger, and sadness seemed to engulf the little community.

She grew up a tomboy, since there were very few females in their town to influence her, and most wanted nothing to do with her grandfather or herself. Her grandfather saw nothing wrong with this and did nothing to change her. And so she played with the boys, dressed like the boys, fought like the boys and kept her hair short as a child.

Though her grandfather was a brisk and firm man, he was level headed, wise, and caring. And it was under his watch that Logan grew up the woman she is today. Despite this, his wisdom never seemed to quiet rub off on Logan and as she aged, she managed to get herself into many brawls with the men in the town, some much older, and larger than herself. These were no small fights - she acted like one of the men, so she had to fight like a man, and they knew she could, so they didn't even think twice about giving her mercy.

On occasion, werewolves would be spotted along the outskirts of the town and so men were put on watch to protect the townspeople and livestock. Once Logan was old enough, she was put on guard. At this point she was well known around the town as being just as capable as the males her age, and so there was no argument.

It was one night, her first week working as a guard, that two of the more experienced watchmen decided to take advantage of her.

"Fight us, both of us. If you win, we'll take your post and let you go for the night. If we win, you have to take our shifts."

Logan, by this point, was no little girl, she had already become a woman, and though she still had some growing to do, was far from being petite. And the two men hardly looked a challenge. So she accepted.

She quickly regretted her mistake. Even with her size, they were still stronger - more agile, cunning. She didn't give up easily, but in the end, they won and she had lost her pride and sleep for the night.

It was unusual for anything to happen. The werewolves never threatened to venture too close and you didn't see them every night. Tonight, as you probably guessed, would be different.

Logan had dozed off, slumped against the wall with her rifle setting lazily beside her. It wasn't until the raspy warm breath and snarling face of a werewolf was directly above her that she awoke. She managed to escape - bitten and scarred, but alive. The werewolf wasn't so lucky.

She tried to conceal and control her form. However, she was discovered and was violently driven out of the town. Since then, she's become a nomad, a wanderer - loner, if you will.

Personality:
Generally speaking, Logan is a fairly level headed and mellow woman. Despite this, she can't bring herself to fully trust anyone. She's never been quiet sure how to handle herself around other women as she's been around very few in her life, so she can come off as insensitive, rude or blunt, but she means the best. She doesn't like it when people are vague or beat around the bush, she's a to the point, straight forward person - for example, if she was in love with someone, she'd tell them. She values honesty, and respect, but only to those who deserve it. On the other hand, she gives little regard to authority for the most part.

She's very protective of those she holds close to her. Usually she's easy going, she isn't one to let small things phase her, and isn't likely to hold grudges unless you give her reason to (or happen to be a werewolf). She can be openly curious at times, asking odd questions out of the blue. She seems to ignore most everything going on around her but in reality rarely lets anything slip past her unnoticed.

However, she has her bad side. She can be stubborn, and quick to start a fight or turn something into a challenge when she's in a bad mood. When she does she's brutal, and won't easily back down from something she started. She can be hard to handle, and if you catch her on a bad day the most innocent gesture could be seen as a challenge.

Human Description:
Big boned and fit, brawny without being considered bulky. She's thick and tall, but by no means is considered overweight. Slightly curvy but not prominently so.

Her jawline is square, her eyes almond shaped and somewhat narrow. Her lips are mostly unpronounced, and her nose is somewhat square in shape, not curving up or down at the tip but rather keeping an almost even shape all the way. There are two scars across the bridge of her nose and another vertical scar on the right side of her jaw.

Her hair is medium-long, jet black, straight, usually unwashed - falls a few inches below her collarbone in front and just below her shoulder blades in the back (more about Logan here).
