She often has one more clip at ready in her purse, just in case, and keeps the gun tucked securely away on her person in a variety of concealed holsters. The 9mm is not the only one she owns, either, but happens to be the easiest for her to hide on her person.
... She is also a closeted fan of lingerie.
Character
Personality: Generally tries to be pretty upbeat and peppy, but dissolves into snark and sass pretty quick. Annie just wants to get home to her plants, so she can take a nap and eat some ice cream, while dreaming of the five hours of sleep she gets between jobs. She wouldn’t consider herself mean, but knows she can come across as a bit of a bitch, especially when confronting people with attitudes. She has a mean case of RBF when she’s not paying attention. She also tries to keep out of politics and moral issues, because with everything else going on in her life she just doesn’t have time!
Hobbies/ Interests: Morning jogs, good books, Abs, organizational planning, various sports, house plants, Accents. Paintball! Tattoo's.
Job or part time job and description: Currently works at a handful of places, both part time and full time. Mostly dealing with finances behind the scenes, as well as secretarial duties with a few firms, and as a financial consultant for one upstart.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Asphyxiation, from an attack a few years back while she had been a student, a general wariness for how actively wonky the city seems to be at all times, and if she will be capable of defending herself well enough.
Special talents: She was a lead cheerleader for the NYU Cheer team, on the Violets Competition Team, and is still fully capable of performing the routine. After that she had been an up and coming star of track and field, but after a bad fall she had to step away from it. She is fluent in Spanish, knows a decent amount of Japanese, some German, and has the most basic grasp on Mandarin, but dropped the course before she could get enough of a grasp on it to have full, fluent conversations.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Annie lands in a bit of a gray area currently. She leans toward moral choices for herself, personally, whether from a fear of getting caught or ending up on someone's bad side. She doesn’t care so much what others do, aside from some of the really bad things you might read about in the papers, and has inadvertently worked with some pretty horrible people before in the past.
Mutations
Adapted. 6ft aura radius.
Physical Abilities
General Physical Capabilities: Decently speedy when it comes to running, though she can’t run for very long nowadays. Average in pretty much every other aspect of her physical abilities. She has taken quite a few self defense crash course classes, so she does no how to get herself out of dangerous situations. Not so great in a fist fight.
Fighting Style: Shoot first, ask questions later. But, for real, she relies on her weapon of choice to defend herself in potentially dangerous situations. She has a host of classes under her belt over the last two years that have given her great aim for a civilian and a steady hand in tense situations.
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Pro: Not dead maybe! Con: You might not like the answers.
History Of Your Character
Annalise was born to an average, middle american family smack dab in the middle of the Bronx. She was an active social butterfly and fit in easily. Excelled in school and loved learning, really impressed all of her teachers throughout k-12. In college she moved away to live in dorms with other girls her age, and lived a pretty typical sorority life as one of the most active members of Alpha Sigma Tau.
She had a bad accident during a competition late into one year that shifted her school experience quite a bit. She had gone for a jump, landed a bit off, and her knee gave out. She had partially torn the tendon connected to her kneecap. Determined to stay upbeat she had juggled her classes and goals around, ended up in Finance, and started working toward her new degree.
During her last year on campus she had been heading back to her own room from a friend's place, when she was violently attacked out on the darkened campus grounds. Her attacker was aggressive, rambled incoherently, and Annie couldn’t remember much other than them holding her down into the cement and choking the life out of her. Thankfully Campus security had heard the scuffle and came to save her before any permanent damage had been done.
She signed up for defensive shooting classes, gun safety, and started the ball rolling on a concealed carry permit a week later.
After earning her MBA in Accounting, she headed out into the workforce to forge herself a career and…. Found it pathetically void of any real possibilities. The choices she had left at her disposal were a few jobs out of state, one in state but for a company that wanted to severely under pay her, or… multiple smaller jobs, that paid less by themselves but as a whole?
She went with a punishing schedule of nearly being constantly at work, and decided to hoard whatever wealth she could in order to pay down her steep Student Loan debt.

Sample RP:
“Good afternoon, this is Stockpickle, how may I help you today?”
She bubbled cheerily into the phone, tapping her pen on a pad of paper as she waited for the person on the other side to state their piece.
“Oh, Mr. Kashes is out to lunch right now, but I can take a-”
She pulled the headset away from her ear a little as she was loudly interrupted. How rude!
“No Ma’am, he isn’t in his office, I can’t-”
More yelling, and Annie slumped in her swivel chair and started doodling little cartoon flowers all over her page. “Mhmm. Yup. No, I totally understand… Yes Ma’am. Mmmhmmm..”
She ran out of space and had to flip to the next page when the lady on the other end finally got to the point. Annie paused, blinking at the program she currently had open in front of her.
“...Ma’am. Did you mean to call Stockpickle? We… we don’t actually sell pickles. We sell stock.”
….
There was silence on the other end, before the woman huffed, loudly shouted that Annie should have made that more clear 20 minutes ago, and hung up.
Annalise sighed, slipping her headset off and reaching over to add yet another tick mark to the growing number on a sticky note labeled ‘pickle pushers’ by her computer. Dammit, at this rate she was going to owe Michael a coffee!
