Sarah, Wayward Ranger

Sarah Hansen is a 24-year-old American woman who grew up in New York City. She comes from a middle-class, typical American family. She has lived a fairly normal life up until the past six months, when she was drafted into the armed forces, which is something she never would have considered being involved with before that point.

Sarah has few practical outdoor skills, having lived in a city her entire life. She also has few practical skills in the city, either, but is more comfortable in an urban environment. She is clumsy and klutzy and tends to make a mess of things, despite trying very hard to be diligent. She is intelligent and quite capable, but everything takes her more time than it takes most people.

Sarah worked, in civilian life, since she finished school, working in a grocery store near her home. She is decent at this, even though she tends to make messes with her clumsiness.

Sarah is not cowardly, but she does frighten easily, and is prone to panic. Besides this, she has a sweet and warm personality, but tends to be her own harshest critic. She is prone to anxiety and tends to push herself too hard, not getting enough sleep or taking care of herself well.

She has been very uncomfortable with the demands that military service has put upon her, and in her present operation, she is far out of her depth. She is lost and alone in an unfamiliar country, low on resources, exhausted, and frightened. However, some time recovering will make her more at ease, and naturally like herself.
