Character Information
Name: Gypsy Rio
True Name: Faedra Sunners
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birthday: Febuary 11th, 1997
Greatest Ambition: To live and love freely
Physical Description: The first thing most notice about dear Gypsy is her hair. It is long and wild like the life she lives, reaching just past her knees. It is a light brown but sometimes it plays tricks on the eyes and appears blonde, changing with the seasons. Fae has an elegant build, almost willowly, with muscles that are strong but more flexible. The body of a dancer. Her legs and arms are long though she does lack slightly for curves. Her eyes are a grey-blue that changes like the weather and there is always something mysterious in their glow and cunning in her smile. She is often described as faery-like in both looks and personality, something that she plays into.
Distinguishing Marks: On her left foot she has six tear drops tattooed, each representing a loved one that has died that she will always miss. On her right wrist she has a blue cresent moon tattoo with Latin writing that reads 'Love freely' beneath it. She has a scar on her right shoulder where it looks as if she had been sliced.
Sexual Orientation: Primarily Straight though has had female lovers.
Single or taken: Single
Best friend:peri Peri (good friend and advisor), Hermes (Mutt of a dog that doesn't listen to her.)
Personality: Gypsy is a mysterious woman, illusive to even those in her own tribe, but she does her best to keep things that way. She likes to keep people guessing about just who she is. There is nothing about her that is completely predictable other than her loyalty to her tribe and life itself. It is in her nature to do things that will surprise others, once someone thinks they have her figured out she will go and change the rules. This attitude keeps things from being dull for those around her that know her and makes people that could be potential enemies or are weary of her.
But there is no doubt she is a strong leader. A cunning one at that. She knows how to keep a group together, how to survive, and how to teach others. She has patience when it comes to those who want to learn. But she lacks patience for those who just sit there and whine about what they do not have in life. She knows how to manipulate others to do her will and can lie as easily as she can breath. Gypsy tends to tell the truth by nature but to hold secrets (for herself or those who have intrusted secrets in her) she will lie. A lot of the times she finds there is more value in telling the truth than not. It is more difficult to lie.
There is a wild and untamable nature about her that attracts people. She loves to have a good time and for others to join in the fun. She is a very social person, even if she does tend to be the one that sits off to the side and watch others. In this new world she is understandably weary and tends to look for flaws in others, weaknesses in personality. The type of person to be quiet and listen to what is going on around her and for the most part makes wise decisions. It is rare that she is unrational in any situation and does not tend to jump into anger quickly or at least not one to show that anger.
As a woman she is always thought as docile, especially with her lack of screaming when angry, but that is only because she has that cold sort of rage. That rage that can come out without notice and generally when it shows its full colors someone tends to end up hurt. She can be highly vengeful and does not like to be disrespected in anyway. But she will plan out something, won't just let that person know, play the friend until the snake feels it is the right time to bite.
Personal History: Faedra Sunners was the middle child of Lola and Harold Sunners. A child of a dysfunctional family, it is hard to say for certain if Harold is her blood father. Either way, he raised her. Her father's job had them travelling a lot and sometimes his lack of a job had them travelling a lot as well. Faedra grew up quickly in that household and her earliest memories are those of yelling and mistrust. If not for her older brother Logan she would have turned into one of those problem cases at nine, but he was eight years old when she was born and knew how to deal with their parents. For the most part, he was the one that raised her.
To pay him back, when Devina was born five years after her, she took up the job of raising her. It was not that their mother couldn't, but she was so hooked on drugs and depression from the way their father treated them it was hard for her to do much of anything. So the children got a wild streak to them. They created a world for themselves that was safe from the abusive hand of their drunken father. And because it was hard for them to keep friends with how much they moved all they truly had was each other.
Surprisingly they were good at making friends no matter where they went. The three thrived off the attention of others, the positive energy, because it was not something they got at home. School was an escape. They did have a tendancy to fall into the 'wrong crowd'. They were shop lifters, pot smokers, and untamable by rules (rules are there to be broken, after all). While the friends they made in each town were often depressed to see them go, the adults and authority figures danced with joy.
Faedra barely graduated from high school. Right after she graduated her supposed father tried to molest her. She was 17 and smart enough to fight back. Logan had taught both his sisters how to hold their own in a fight, especially against someone that was bigger than them, and so escaping a drunken caress was not hard for her. She left him with a broken nose. This got her kicked out of her house. She was a liar, a no good whore, and a majority of other things. Faedra tried to take her younger sister with her, Logan not living in the house hold anymore, did not trust their father with her younger sibling. Sadly her attempts were thwarted and she had to set out on her own to survive.
Logan would have offered Faedra sancutary at his apartment but he was working with their father. Mainly so he could keep an eye on Devina. He did give her some money, some food, and she decided to see the world. When she saw the world she saw that it was no place for those with dreams. Faedra had done gymnastics her whole life finding a certain freedom in bending her body in awkward positions. It was not too surprising that for a few months, if she was low on cash, she took up the job as an exotic dancer. A resourceful and strong girl, she learned how to manipulate men and sometimes even women to get what she wanted out them.
This led to one of those lives people look down on. Yes, she did sleep with men so that she would have a roof and food in her stomach. She did drink a lot to forget the things she did. Faedra got in her share of fights, one nasty fight resulting in a deep cut with a beer bottle from a man in one the clubs that had every intention of beating her, killing her. There are plenty of horror stories that she chooses, now, not to tell others. Every experience she has had she does not regret, it has made her the woman she is today. That is something she is comfortable with, herself.
She followed her family where they went, always trying to keep an eye on her sister, it was how she knew where they were when the virus hit. Logan was ultimately the only one that held the three of them together. Faedra could never get close to the house. And while she did want to snatch Devina away she was not sure if the younger sister would be much better on the streets with her. Logan could not take Devina in because of drama in his own life and to this day Faedra is afraid to ask exactly what happened to her sister alone in that house...
Then she killed a man. Faedra. It was in self-defense, he was trying to rape her, but still she killed him. In cold blood, with no regrets, and no nightmares to follow it. There was only self-loathing in her heart as she hacked this man to death for putting hands on her that were not welcome. He'd drugged her, taken her back to his place, and likely would have ended up killing her. There was no one there that would really miss her, just another hooker on the street corner, that was how this man viewed it. Except she had a determination to live, to survive, and when he came at her the second time she kicked her foot up with enough force to crush his windpipe in his throat.
This was around the time the virus hit. The authorities did arrest her but with everyone that was running the prison dying it made escaping rather easy. This was just outside a town her family was staying at known as Sundance, Wyoming. She escaped with two others and the three of them formed a strange friendship. All young, all adventurous, and all seeing this virus as a second chance at life. They ran to the town because Faedra knew it slightly (it was where she was arrested) and ended up finding shelter in an old house. They then went about the only logical thing to do when no one else was around anymore to yell at them, stealing.
Soon their little group of three grew into a group large enough to be considered a tribe. All of them tended to be a bit wild and had difficulty following most rules. Faedra ended up finding her sister in all this mess and the two quickly became close again, especially with the mourning of their older brother's death (not so much the death of their parents). Faedra ended up taking charge of their little operation when she noticed that the ended up depending on each other and functioning more like a family than just a group of people.
Everyone just kind of went along with it. Especially when they found the boats, they stole the boats, and made homes out of those boats. Now they had a way to travel, a place to live, and a freedom no one would dare take from them. Some saw them as lacking in morals but Faedra (who ended up with the name Gypsy) would just explain to others that right and wrong were really all a matter of perspective. These were not a group of people that could stand to be caged and saw what they had around them not as a curse but as a strange gift.
Somehow they ended up with a strange friendship with a tribe known as the Mountain Lions. This was likely because their Winter Camp rested on their property, the original house Gypsy took shelter in when she reached town. Gypsy made sure to be on good terms with the leader of this group, if only because she saw this the best way to survive. When the war between the Wolves and the Mountain Lions broke out she ordered the River Runners to stay completely out of it though. They were ultimately their own group and did not see the benefit in them joining in any territory war when they had none of their own and there would be no gain from it. Thus she keeps the River Runners on rather good terms with everyone. They have a loyalty onto themselves and while they rely on others believe they don't need it.
Plus, no one knows how to make Moonshine like them, and everyone needs some good moonshine in difficult times.
Birth Location: L.A., California
Blood Family: Lola Sunners - Mother (deceased)
Harold Sunners - Supposed Father (deceased)
Logan Sunners - Older brother (deceased)
Devina Sunners - Younger Sister
What tribe do they belong to if any?: River Runner
How long have they been with that tribe?: Two years
Personal Strengths: Excellent leadership skills. She is a strong willed woman with a determination to survive.. Her morals are somewhat questionable and sometimes even her methods but good always seems to come out of it. Faedra finds strength in others, those that look up to her, and those she considers her family.
Personal Weaknesses: A strange weakness for sweets, she tries not to think about it or talk about it much. Animals are also a big weakness for her and she is always bringing in strays. She constantly worries that the decisions she makes are the wrong ones, though she never shows this outwardly.
Personal Skills and Training: She is highly flexible and practices her stretches for an hour each day so she remains so. Gypsy has training in fortune telling through tarot cards and is able to read palms, all of this self-learned. A wonderful story teller, she often tells stories to the younger children in her tribe (the only motherly trait she has ever shown). Has a way with animals, understanding them, though is horrible at training them. She knows how to pick a lock. Good at listening and learning things about others. And she does try to learn secrets on others from different tribes, that is a very good thing to have to barter. A wonderful dancer, a decent enough cook, and the obvious leadership skills. Knows how to fish, knows how to swim like a fish, and is rather talented in breaking into places people might not want her in. Does know how to fight, has killed before, but tries not to.
