Name: Belgian!Steph
Your Character's PB: Jewel Staite

[IC Application - Please answer these questions as if they were being asked directly to your character!]

What's your name?: Savannah Leckie.
Male, female or other?: I'm feminine.
How old are you?: I just turned twenty.
Are you known by any other name?: The soldiers on base called me Bull's Eye, because I never missed the target with my rifle. I don't really like it, but I guess it's better than Savvy.

Were you born in the United States? Where? If not, please specify.: Cali, born and raised.
Where are you now?: Louisiana.
Where were you three years ago?: Home. Weren't we all? Of course 'home' might be just your state or your neighbourhood, but I was home, in my room, with my dog.
What were you up to before the Quarantine?: I was in high school, I had a boyfriend. I did the stuff any teenager did.
What have you been doing since then?: My dad managed to get me to an underground military complex up in the San Gabriel mountains. Not many many people stayed after the military left, but the stragglers took in all the non-Infected that came their way. Weren't many of us either. Trouble was, a couple of the soldiers there had been out there in the Quarantined part, trying to do their bit, I guess. So, there had been six guys and that got whittled down to three in the next six weeks. But more soldiers joined us and they'd teach us all sorts of skills. How to fix up the generator, fix up jeeps, take us to the shooting range, that sort of stuff. But it was on the shooting range I got my nickname. They said I could've joined the military, being able to shoot like this. Shit, I just wanted to be a teacher. I can still be one, I guess. But when it's just you and your weapon and an Infected? Well, I'm not going to complain. It helps that dad made go to the shooting range before all of this happened.
What do you miss most about life before the Quarantine?: MAC. Skirts. My boyfriend. My dog. My dad. MTV. Looking at colleges.
What don't you miss?: I don't miss much, really. Can't really think of anything, is that bad? It's mostly just sad that it's all pretty much gone.

Do you have any physical handicaps?: I twisted my ankle a year back. It didn't heal back right, so I get all wobbly on that feet. I can still run though. I've been looking for a brace, so that it stops wobbling.
Do you speak languages other than your native tongue?: Some words in Spanish, that's it.
Are you alone? If so, why?: I'm alone. Dad stayed back in the military complex, while I went out there with a couple of the others a year ago. During a raid, we got separated and I stayed holed up for three days in this little gas station until they got bored and I could flee. By then, I'd lost the others, since they had the car.
Do you have a talent/skill that will be helpful to the survival of a group?: I know a little bit of everything. I'm good with a gun and rifle, I can tackle a guy bigger than me, I'm quick on my feet, I can repair certain stuff. I just always feel guilty when I shoot one of the Infected, since they're technically still alive. That part doesn't get easier. I'm also a crappy cook, but I do know a thing or two about first aid.
What are you doing to pull your weight with your group?: I was the one who went out raiding with the guys, because I never missed.
Have you any previous affiliations?: Just the San Gabe complex. It's not on any map I can find, so I'd only get lost if I ever tried to get back.
What is your weapon of choice? Does it have a name?: My sniper rifle. I'm sure anyone else could say the make and stuff, but what counts is that it does its job. (408 Cheyenne Tactical cartridge)
How do you feel about this new brand of Infected?: I wonder if there's something in the water? If the Infection spread from one source, shouldn't it all be the same?
Tell us about a notary encounter with one or several of them.: It ends with me shooting them in the head.
