Character Profiles

These character descriptions describe the characters as their normal lives before the apocalypse


Character 1:


Name: Manon
Place of birth: Aubervilliers, Paris
Height: 5'6"
Habits: Smoker

Everyday behaviour:
She often sleeps in as she likes to stay in bed. She tends to wake up around 10 am. A typical day for Manon consists of going to school (travelling by bus). Although she maintains average grades, she is generally disinterested in school. She prefers to be independent and aspires to be an illustrator post education. After school she'll often hang out with two of her close friends for a couple of hours before going home. In the evening she spends time with her younger sister, Alecia, with whom she watches television. Before going to bed Manon likes to read comic books and sketching.

Attitude/Personality:
She identifies as a realist (not optimistic or pessimist). Often she puts feeling over rational thinking. She is compassionate and brave when she has to be. Manon would do anything to protect her younger sister. Although she may not consider herself to be academically smart, she's definitely street smart.

Emotional personality:
As an ambivert, Manon can often appear to be quite closed and cold, however will open up to those she's close with. She can be quite short tempered, often acting on impulse. When feeling sad, Manon will often hide her emotions and tend to be okay. In instances of conflict, she deals with this immediately rather than ignoring the problem. Her blunt personality may come off as rude, however she is just misunderstood.

Alecia usually wakes up early and watches cartoons before school. She generally enjoys school and performs quite well. After school she has gymnastics practice and then goes back home to enjoy dinner with her family. After dinner she does her homework, sometimes seeking help from her older sister, Manon. After watching some more television she'll go to sleep.

Attitude/Personality:
Alecia is an optimist but can be quite cautious in her everyday life. Her longtime goal is to compete in the olympics.
