This is a female character that I created for a story that I never seem to write and she would be a great support character.
Her nick name is Rabbit (her real name can be anything you like) She always goes by her nickname and has her whole life. She is a very large strong blond woman (6,5" 220 lbs) She grew up in Beaverton Oregon, and spent her childhood trying to show up her older brother Ricky. She played basket ball, Lacrosse and was on the equestrian team. She also grew up hunting, fishing and shooting with her Dad and brother. She had planned to go to college on an athletics scholarship,but enlisted in the Army after her brother was one of early units to be sent overseas. He is presumed to be somewhere behind enemy lines in western Europe. (In my story she is one of the late war reinforcement sent to Balkans. And is now part of small 6 man fire team made up of an ad-hoc mix of U.S. military and a local interpreter in crotia.) Or alternately she never made it on the boat to go to Europe and is stuck somewhere in CONUS. And is now a member of a local security force.
I picture her as a fairly new recruit but more than up to the challenge. I was imagining her as an infantryman and in her fire team she is usually is an automatic rifleman (but I can also easily see her as a Designated Marksman)
She is also fairly good looking (like an 8) but due to her large size and tomboyish nature most men would probably consider her a (4 or 5) She has green eyes and golden blonde hair. She is plagued by people thinking that she is a lesbian, and is happy to have a knockdown drag out fight with anyone who makes such an assertion.
