NAME: Joanna Rockwell
CALL ME: Sweetheart and you'll find a knife in your chest
GENDER: Female. Duh
AGE: 26
PERSONALITY: Joanna is not a fighter. She endures, she is a survivor. Despite that, Joanna is
much more than your average blue-eyed doe. Her tongue is as sharp as her mind, and more
often than not has it caused her trouble. Basically, this woman does not know when to keep
her mouth shut. Until she begins to understand you, Joanna is harsh; almost rude. Soon, you
will see her other side. The side that worries whether you've drank enough water, and the one
that laughs at her own jokes. She has a strong will to live, not just survive. And it's the little
things that make is easier to carry on. She will tell you the truth, even if it hurts because it
is the truth. Always expect and respect her honesty. One thing she will not tolerate is
disrespect. She also does not like people who are late and burnt toast.
BACKSTORY: Joanna was fourteen when her father was killed overseas. Jonathan Rockwell
charged into enemy territory, knowing he would die. He saved twenty-seven hostages and
gave his life for others. Jonathan was a wonderful man.He taught Joanna how to hunt, but
only to survive and never for sport. He was caring, always remembered important piano recitals
and judo tournaments. Jonathan made sure that his family knew they were loved and
cherished, right up until the day he died. Joanna lost her best friend that day, and vowed from
then on to honor his memory not by grieving and snivelling like a child. She worked hard to
prove herself more than just some little girl playing in the mud. Joanna literally had to fight her
way to the top, which is rather difficult for a 5'3", 127 lb girl. She joined the military at 21 after
getting a bachelor's degree in Sports Medicine, so she also has some medical knowledge in terms
of wrapping ankles and putting on band-aids. But mostly she is Army strong.
STRENGTHS: Five years of training and service in the military made Joanna exceptionally strong.
She may not be the best shot in the garrison, but her knife handling and throwing skill are
bested by none. Only twice has she missed her target.. Being small and petite was never a weakness
in her mind. Joanna is agile, quick on her feet and still strong enough to survive. She does not
hesitate, and will always fight and defend her own. Even if it means sacrificing herself. Joanna
also makes fantastic garlic mashed potatoes, if that matters to you.
WEAKNESSES: One of her biggest weaknesses is her tendancy to piss people off. Sarcasm kind of
just slips out sometimes. Other than that she doesn't really have any other weaknesses. Well.. unless you count the fact that her knee is totally reconstructed and she has partial deafness in one ear duea bad car accident. It's the weakest part of her body, and often gives her trouble in daily life.
HER FEARS: Failure. Loss. The standard stuff. Honestly.. what she really fails is being left behind. The
thought of being alone in the world now is horrifying to her.
EQUIPMENT: Joanna keeps a military grade backpack with her at all times. She keeps five throwing
knives in a pouch on her belt, as well as two large tactical knives on either side of her hip. Other than that, she also has a military grade M16A2 assault rifle. Inside her backpack she
keeps only the essentials for survival:
-Food
-Water filtration packets, as well as a water bottle filter
-Two walkie talkies
-Solar charged flashlight
-A small, cast iron skillet,
-Three extra pairs of warm socks
-Small blue tarp
-Swiss army pocket knife
-Medical kit
-Other extra essentials
