Name- Indigo Velvet
Gender- Female
Age- 19
Looks- Indigo is tall and lithe, fine-boned and slender. Her eyes are the color of a dying fire- a deep amber red- but they flare to a bright orange when she's angry. When she was fifteen she started dying her hair blue, and even she doesn't know what color it really is. She keeps it cropped to chin length, so it frames her narrow face. Her chin is pointed, but stubborn, her lips thin and unsmiling, her nose long and sharp. Her skin is tanned, her muscles whipcord lean. She may not look it, but this girl is exceedingly powerful and strong, mostly from handling heavy equipment all her life. Normally she wears a black tank-top and tan cargo shorts.
Personality- Indigo is not a nice person. She can be downright mean, even, with a fiery temper and no patience for stupid people or people who get in her way. Loyal to the end and extremely dangerous, she is the person you want on your side at all costs. However, when she is around people with whom she is comfortable, it's a completely different story. You can really tell that despite her scruffy appearance, she's actually refined, dignified, and extremely smart.
History- Indigo's father ran off when she was three, leaving his young daughter, his six-year-old son Alex, and their mother Annie quite alone and very poor. Indigo's mother worked two jobs, and often came home very late. She sometimes had to choose between paying the rent on the tiny apartment and feeding her children. One night, when Annie was walking home from work, she was mugged, raped, and left to die in an alley. Indigo and Alex were kicked out of the apartment and forced to live on the streets. When Indigo was nine and Alex twelve, they were rummaging in some trash cans when a man came out of the house with a shotgun. He was aiming for the girl, but her brother shoved her out of the way. The blast tore his right arm completely off, and he bled to death while the little girl begged passerby for help. None came, and Indigo was forced to leave her brother's body, for fear the man with the shotgun would come back and kill her, too. Her only worldly possessions are the knapsack she carries, which is packed with a change of clothes and a much-loved teddy bear that Alex stole for her when she was five. It's missing an eye, and a nineteen-year-old girl might be though mentally unstable if seen carrying one, but Indigo takes it everywhere anyways, hidden inside her backpack.
