Canon History:

Carol is a fairly new intern of the Daily Days information company. She accompanies the Vice-President Gustav St. Germain as his assistant. Her first major appearance is when she and the Vice-President take a train to Chicago for a story on Nebula, a major corporation. While they're traveling, the train they're on is hijacked by a group of thugs lead by Graham Specter. While being held up by the group, Gustav demonstrates his knowledge as an information broker, which causes the leader of the group to leave them unharmed during the robbery.

Gustav and Carol arrive in Chicago with the purpose of doing a story on Nebula. When they arrive at the Nebula building, Carol immediately starts taking pictures while Gustav tells her not to waste film. She panics when she sees a senator walking out of the building and Gustav scolds her for losing her composure.

About thirty minutes later after, they meet the Chairman of Nebula, Carol sits down to recover after being so shaken up while Gustav goes to get something to drink. She meets a woman in a white lab coat and Carol assumes the woman is there to check on her. After they both apologize to each other, they talk for a bit and the woman introduces herself as Renee and tells her she's a pharmacist. Gustav returns wanting to know why Renee is hanging around his assistant; the woman quickly tells him she wasn't planning on kidnapping Carol to use in an experiment. Carol thinks that she's kidding around. She leaves, and Gustav warns Carol not to be caught alone with her.

They leave the building where Carol literally runs into Rail and Frank, two Lamia that were trying to lay low because of a wanted poster. Carol screams before Gustav scolds her for being rude. After she calms down, she apologizes and offers to buy them lunch (with Gustav's money apparently). Carol quickly hits it off with Rail and Frank, and Rail lies to her saying that they were sold to a circus because of how they looked. Carol is in awe of his story, and he goes on to tell her about his interest in explosives. Their conversation is interrupted by Graham who is looking to capture Rail and Frank, and he mistakes Carol and Gustav for Lamia as well. Rail offers that he and Frank go with Graham, but not before warning Carol that she and Gustav should leave the city. As Carol worries about them, she and Gustav are captured by a man working for the Russo family.

The two are questioned by the head of the Russo family, who is also after the Lamia who showed up on the wanted poster. Gustav remains calm during the questioning, even trying to turn the head of the family into one of his customers. However, the head of the family is still wary of his information and tells them that they'll be hostages until Rail and Frank are caught.

Game history:

Carol spent a few months in the dystopian, futuristic world of Exsilium. Upon her arrival, she was given a special lens for her camera that could freeze time, given a run-down on what would be expected of her while staying in Exsilium, and then she was pretty much left to her own devices. She spent a few weeks living out of a library until she was assigned to better housing. There, she did a lot of research on Exsilium to try to find more information on what kind of world she was thrown into and read up more on the war that was going on between Exsilium and the United Earth. It wasn't long after her arrival that she learned that the United Earth will destroy her home world in an attack, 70 years in her future.

Despite this news, Carol tried to live a somewhat normal life while trying to research and document information. That soon ended when other Transports were kidnapped by the United Earth and taken away for experimentation. Carol was recruited to sneak into the base to help rescue them, while others provided a distraction outside. She was attacked by soldiers and as a result was shot in the leg.

Before she had a chance to really recover from her injuries, the United Earth launched another attack against the people of Exsilium, using nuclear weaponry. She and other Transports had no choice but to evacuate to a base located on the moon. Not very long after, the moon base was overrun by zombies and Carol had to be rescued and escorted back to safety. Ever since then, she's been trying her best to adjust to her life on a moon base.

Canon Point: After Carol is held hostage by the Russo family.

Personality:

Carol is the young assistant to Gustav St. Germain and intern at the Daily Days information company as an aspiring journalist. She's very passionate about her job, easily excitable, and very social. She's very dedicated about doing her research before she goes out onto the field, and she's quick to try and gain information from people. Oftentimes, if she finds a person interesting, she'll want to know all about them and ask if she can interview them. She's very concerned about making a good impression so that she can one day become an independent reporter. Sometimes, she gets so concerned that she'll get upset with herself if she misses an opportunity to get a good story or photo. She's a very sweet girl who tends to wear her emotions on her sleeve, and it's difficult for her to get her emotions under control when she needs to be professional. If she's upset, excited, or scared, it very easily shows. She greatly admires her superior, St. Germain, for his ability to remain calm in even the most difficult situations.

One of Carol's biggest flaws is her cowardice. She has a difficult time keeping a cool head in stressful situations, she's easily startled, and she'll scream if she's caught off guard. She was even ready to confess to everything she's witnessed when she was taken hostage by the Russo family, and they didn't even do anything too threatening when she was captured. And it's not just mafia thugs that shake her nerves; meeting authority figures will make her incredibly nervous to a point that it's difficult for her to do her job. On the other hand, she tends to recover and get over other people's appearances pretty quickly if it's clear that they're not dangerous to her. For example, she was terrified by Rail and Frank's appearances the moment she bumped into them; she even screamed when she first saw them. However once she calmed down, she quickly got over it and treated them both to lunch as an apology for being so rude. Unfortunately, she tends to be pretty useless in dangerous situations, preferring to run or hide than take care of problems herself. At one point, she even thinks to herself that she wishes a superhero would come and solve all her problems for her.

While Carol has an innocent, bright, and optimistic view of the world, she also tends to be dangerously naive. Usually she takes things at face value without thinking if they could be true or not, something her boss often scolds her for doing. She's also easily deceived by people's outward appearances. If a person is nice enough on the outside, she won't think that they could possibly be threatening. One woman she meets even cheerfully "jokes" about how she plans kidnap Carol for an experiment, which Carol believes to be a joke because said woman was so friendly to her. Carol even dismisses Gustav's warnings that such a threat could actually be true because she doesn't believe someone so nice and friendly could be all that dangerous.

Abilities/Powers/Skills: Carol's main skills involve journalism and photography. She's really good at collecting, documenting, and organizing information.
