Name
SandraMeaning
Helper of humanity, GreekAge
Around 23; recently deadGender
FemaleSpecies
An animated corpse - not just a typical zombie, her soul is still somewhat attached, so she has personality and reasoning still floating around (er, literally).Rank
Before death, she was an American archaeologist, interested in many aspects of the dead - cultures, beliefs, and the like; was raised from the dead to become a servant of Voivode but turned out to be slightly overqualified...so "Advisor" has been added to her list of credentials.Duties
Serving Voivode (cleaning house, and other menial tasks) when soulless; consulting and philosophising when anchoredBirthplace
America the BeautifulHome
Wherever Voivode drags them off to next.• • •
Hair
On her best days Sandra's hair can be described as "dirty blonde". A great effort must be made to make it presentable, let alone pretty, for it is naturally fine and rather limp, with just a hint of wave to it. Before death she had cut it to one length with longish bangs in front, and to this day it remains.Eyes
At one time Sandra's eyes were a pretty shade of grey-blue. With death they have become milky, turning to an almost violet shade of blue.Physique
Sandra stands at about 5'7", most of her height coming from her legs. Naturally, her arms are also rather long. She is slim and curved enough to be considered pretty if she cared about her appearance at all. Her build is only muscular enough to dig, crouch, climb, and crawl to the places she used to excavate. Surprisingly, she has a natural grace that conflicts with her current state of being.Appearance
Sandra has that "marbled" look corpses take on after decomposing for a while, but was tanned darkly enough for it to seem like bruising. If a little makeup and a hat are applied people hardly notice.Clothing
She has never been one to care about what she wears. A pony-tail holder, ball cap, vest and pair of shorts were just fine. Unfortunately, one must not show off that unsightly decomposition, and she allows Voivode to pick out more suitable clothing, though not without grumbling a little about it.• • •
Additude
What can one say? She was once very intelligent and "with it" but because her soul was reattached on that cusp between Earth and Beyond, she has become rather ... airheaded. Her spirit habitually detaches from her body which gives her a blank, almost catatonic demeanor at times, though when attached she can be the asset to her master he had never hoped for. She is pert; energetic but always to the point, preferring to spend her time doing something instead of talking about it. Now that she looks back however (at least when she pauses long enough to do so), she wishes she had done more when she was alive -- traveled more, accomplished more, met people just to meet them, to really enjoy life.Likes/Dislikes
She dislikes when people feel sorry for themselves, and often berates herself for the same weakness. She does not recall feeling this self-pity in life, but now that it is gone, she has the opportunity to reevaluate what was accomplished. However, this does not quell her love for ancient cultures and the profession she held so dear: archaeology.Hobbies
She loves to visit museums and archaeological digs even now, to continue her research, and such. She also just enjoys a stroll with Voivode through the crowded marketplaces when he calls her to do so.Abilities/Talents
Every ability she currently has is controlled by Voivode, so none can exactly be called a talent. However, she has the capability of being put back together when damaged or mauled, which comes in handy when a stray dog decides to steal an arm or leg, or if caught in a firefight. As long as the traces of flesh and blood are not obliterated, they can find their "core" eventually.• • •
