Character Descriptions

Arya

Height: ~ 4.2 feet

Weight: ~ 70 pounds

Appearance: Raised in a small suburban town, Arya is a simple child to say the least. Always teased for her short posture, her clothes look a bit oversized for her shape. Her attire looks comfy, however tarnished and torn, having worn it for consecutive days of struggling. She wears a handcrafted leather coat her grandmother had made for her mother, who then passed it down to her. This complements her tomboy attitude and careless style. Her face depicts her innocence, with dreamy hazel eyes, tiny pursed lips and soft dimples on her cheeks. Her muddy red, short hair is wavy and bouncy, albeit a bit frizzy from her past few days of constant running.

It's got a slim figure, thinner and more fragile than the ferret (One word: Perky), and less muscular than the Wolf (One word: Dominating).

Karolina, the Ferret

Height: ~ 6 inches

Length (nose to tail): ~ 16 inches

Weight: ~ 3 pounds

Appearance: Beige tinted, fluffy fur make her look like an enormous caterpillar. The soles of her feet are dirty from walking in the forest and muddy streets of Serova, but her face remains untainted and inviting. That helps determine where her body ends and his feet begin - you can tell by her size she was well off in the forest before the war began.

Behavior: Not as brave as the other animals, she is always looking for places to hide and wait out the danger. Her lack of bravery/strength is balanced with her attentive nature and knack for careful exploration. She is a perky, energetic animal, always entertaining and making Arya feel loved with its quirky behavior like standing on his back two feet asking her for a hug. Sometimes she doesn't even bother asking, it simply climbs her legs and wraps around Arya like a warm and fluffy scarf. Arya is the center of her little world.

General Jovanovic, the Boss

Height: ~ 6 feet

Weight: ~ 180 pounds

Wears a distinctive beret or military hat that distinguishes him from other soldiers. Has a constant look of grim determination on his face. Armed with a handgun and knife.

Anielka, Arya's Mother

Height: ~ 5.5 feet

Weight: ~ 120 pounds

Appearance: Simple in her clothing, she wears a white skirt down to her knees (one of those harmonica pleat skirts that dance when you move) and a simple red buttoned shirt, with obvious signs that running from soldiers and tripping more than once have taken its toll on her clothing. On top of that she’s wearing a thick fleece sweater. Her hair is down and messy, but her beautiful curls kept their form. She keeps them behind her ears, and her smiling face reflects kindness with vivid contrast to the deadly environment she’s in.

Goran, the Hostile Civilian

Height: ~ 5.7 feet

Weight: ~ 190 pounds

Appearance: The lifeless expression in his face leaves much to assume as to what he is thinking or his mental stability. His unpredictability is particularly scary because of the colorless sound of his voice and depressed body posture. His wavy hair hasn’t been combed or washed for days, and his beard is patchy and unkempt. As a college student he is wearing jeans and a hoodie to keep him warm and provide for agile movement.

Short background: A college student with not much money in his hand, he lived in an apartment he shared with four other of his friends. The oldest son of his family, he was caught in the middle of the havoc that wreaked over his home-town losing most of his family. Full of hatred for the Hlavian soldiers, he joined other rebel citizens in the fight, careless about his own well-being. The protest was an absolute disaster, with nearly a thousand citizens slaughtered by fully armed soldiers ready to deal with a whole battalion of soldiers. He once more escaped with his life and a permanently scarred mental image, feeling cursed and losing all hope in his future, for life as he knew it had already gone to hell.
