Freya Stanhope-Cole - Rhodesian AirCav

[Name: (Freya Stanhope-Cole)

Rank: (Second Lieutenant (or 2nd Lieutenant))

Age: (23)

Gender: (Female)

Sexual orientation; (Bisexual)

Species: (Human)

Appearance: (her breasts are C cup, she has long brown hair that she lets flow freely. She’s not the athletic kind when you look at her but she’s really good at pushing things (mostly in an ‘…off an helicopter’ context). She has deep brown eyes and the white of her eyes is perfect : not bloodshot, not glassy. She’s 5’6.5”, so still pretty short but she’s thin (in a good way). She keeps her armpits and pubic hair shaven clean.

Clothing: (à Rhodesian ‘Keko’ flap cap in Rhodesian brushstroke camo. Usually, she has the flap up but in really hot days or when sun burns are threatening her, she’ll lower it, a Pattern 70 webbing but with some pouches (the pouches are in Rhodesian brushstroke camo but not actual webbing’s structure) removed to be lighter, 2 L1A1 magazines strapped to her lower right thigh (her right), and a Short Sleeve Field Shirt in Rhodesian brushstroke camo.

For pants, she has normal Rhodesian army trousers in Rhodesian brushstroke camo but she has cut them down to short shorts.)

Weapon: (FN FAL, aka L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle but in an array of greenish colours with brown and beige streaks to make it further invisible amidst the bushes.)

Hobbies : (running, visiting the Shona and Ndebele people (formerly))

Likes: (The British commonwealth, smoking, John Edmond’s music (her favourite song is ‘the Gunship Calypso), helicopter rides, shooting guns and BEER)

Dislikes: (the ZANLA and the ZIPRA, the eastern bloc, the United States of America)

Behavior: (Freya is a very odd person. When she’s sober she seems drunk and when she’s drunk she seems sober. In other words, she a very loud person when sober. She’s pleasant to be around, loyal, and fun to have a drink with but when she gets drunk, she’s silent, demure, shy and quiet. She’s very talkative but knows when to stop : she’s very good at reading people, which is partly because of her high intelligence. She is prized by the BSAP (British South African Police) for her tactical knowledge but she loses her cool when somebody hurts one of her loved ones (her brothers in arms, her close friends, etc.) and will often get violent. She’ll get in bar brawls when sober and help clean up when drunk, basically.)

Neutral: (Tries to cheer up everybody and spark a conversation, she’s an unstoppable piece of fun. If you’re sad, she’ll try and cheer you up.)

Happy: (Even more talkative and jolly. Instead of trying to cheer you up, people (her comrades) say she will force à smile onto your face. Her ways vary, from force to alcohol and blackmail. She’s very funny when she’s happy, often cracking not so inclusive jokes (meaning dark jokes that incorporate racism or sexism, but she’s never meant it in a negative way.))

Sad: (she’s not ashamed of her emotions and will often seek help in others, for counselling on a situation or just therapy. She’ll still put others before her since she’s very selfless. It’s pretty hard to cheer her up, but treats (candies) from England often do the trick since it makes her remember her childhood spent there.)

Anxious: (When she’s anxious, she’ll focus on one thing, either it’s a rivet in the seat in front of her or a tree half a kilometre away. She has a tick where she’ll tap her right foot repeatedly on the ground, as she finds the sound appeasing. To calm her, head pats weirdly work (until she realizes what you’re doing and tried to hit you, so the second technique is better) or if you are close to her, just being there with her helps.)

Angry: (Like noted before, she gets very violent when she’s angry : she’ll throw punches and berate you with insults, but mostly physical violence. It is noted she usually aims for the stomach or nose, having broken the nose of more than one mean and/or racist dude. When it’s her close friends, she doesn’t punch but shove, since she doesn’t want to hurt them too much (emphasize on too much), but it is to note that she sometimes jokingly shoves her friends and it’s hard to tell sometimes.)

Annoyed: (She always tries to stay calm but zones out, trying to make whatever’s harassing her a simple background noise. Often, she skips this step and goes straight to violence, but when she’s annoyed she’s less (emphasize on less) violent. She’ll shove, for example, trying to make space between her and what or whoever’s annoying her so she doesn’t succumb to the want for violence.)

Speech: (Freya speaks quickly but clearly. She’s never stuttered during a speech or briefing, but her voice cracks often, but she simply doesnt give a fuck and doesnt even repeat what she said. The others have also accepted that fact and understood she doesn’t like it being pointed out. She often uses weird words when speaking, so for example “yeppers!” Instead of yup (rarely). She has a thick British accent and uses the corresponding slang (I.e instead of gutter it’s eavesthrough))

Backstory: (She was born in London in the St Bartholomew's Hospital (commonly referred to as “Barts”) on November 2nd, 1958 from 2 parent named Lord Winston “Churchill” Stanhope, a political man and Margaret “Marge” Stanhope-Cole, an a (the marriage was between two wealthy families so the wife (Freya’s mom, Margaret) kept Cole in her name). Her parents always tried to get her into things like horseback riding but what Freya always wanted was moving abroad, to Africa. It was still unclear in her mind where exactly but later on she believed Rhodesia was the place. She left at 17 (in 1975, mid-bush war) and joined the army when she was 18. She joined the Rhodesian special air service at the age of 21.

Relationship: (Rhodesian Special Air Service, Rhodesian Security Forces, Rhodesia)
