Character NAME: Carol
Canon & MEDIUM: Anime; Baccano!
Canon PULL-POINT: After Carol is held hostage by the Russo family.
Character AGE: About 12 years old
Character ABILITIES: None
Character 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.
Character 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.
» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Carol's weapon would be a special lens made to fit her camera. As long as she uses this lens, every time she takes a picture she will be able to very temporarily freeze time or freeze in place whatever she takes a picture of. As her weapon evolves, the duration of time she can freeze things in place will become longer and she'll be able to have a wider range of things she can freeze within the frame.
Character INVENTORY: Her camera.

First PERSON:
[Carol's honestly not sure what to do with her tablet at first. It's pretty futuristic technology to say the least, but she doesn't know what she's going to need with a strange-looking writing tablet. And while it was explained to her what it was for, she's still pressing keys and trying to desperately figure out how it's supposed to work.
She's hoping that she can get in contact with the Vice-President using this thing, but she's not even sure how to do that. Does she just talk into it? It makes no sense to her why they just didn't let her use a phone. Something normal and easy to understand.]
Can anyone hear this? I'm not sure how this thing is supposed to work but um, the lady said I can use it to talk to people. My name's Carol and I really need to contact the Daily Days so I can get home. S-so um, if anyone could tell me how to do that I'd really appreciate it! And I'm sure Mr. Vice-President would be willing to pay anyone who has any information they could give me, so please respond!
[She gives a hopeful, but nervous smile. With an offer like that she's bound to get some answers on how to get home.]
Third PERSON:
Everything happened so quickly that Carol barely had enough time to react to any of it. She was still reeling from all the information she was given the moment she woke up in the Initiative Hold. The parts of the woman's speech she focused on was something about having a special weapon. In her case it was the form of a camera lens, though it didn't look like a camera lens she had ever used before. The other part she focused on was having a training schedule. She's not sure what the training schedule was for, because it's not like she even knew the first thing about fighting. Frankly, the idea of fighting was terrifying to her. She didn't want to get hurt, and she certainly didn't want to hurt someone else.
After she was released from the Hold, her first instinct was to find the Vice-President. Obviously once she found him, he could clear things up for her and keep her safe from whatever was going on right now. But as she searched up and down for him, there was that tiny growing fear that maybe she was here in this scary place all by herself. A small, professional part of her thought what an opportunity this was, that she should be gathering information and taking photos so that she could prove herself as an independent reporter. But she was too overwhelmed by that growing fear that she was alone here and could possibly get hurt or killed. She wasn't even sure what she should do, but the only thing keeping her from completely falling apart was the idea that at any moment she'd see the Vice-President and he'd come to her rescue, giving her all the answers she needed.
But until then, she shyly approached anyone she came across, her face pale and worried.
"Um, excuse me. There's someone I'm looking for..."
