Caroline Aldrin
Friends Carie was never one to have a lot of friends. When relationships get too close or personal she tends to withdraw and keep people at arms length. She's rather paranoid, making it difficult for her to trust people even if they appear to be harmless or innocent. No matter how close she gets to someone, she will always hesitate to rely on them. Between her independence and trust issues she tends to file most people as 'acquaintances'. She's pretty uncomfortable in social situations, but she's willing to at least try to get along with people. Being new in town she knows the importance of making connections and whatnot. But don't expect her to call just to chat.
Despite being acquaintances, people she chooses to associate with do get some perks. She's a selfless woman and would gladly help a person in need even if she doesn't fully trust them yet. She may not be willing to let her guard down but that doesn't mean she won't help a 'new friend' move. And if she gets the idea that someone is in trouble she'll jump in to the situation with no questions asked.
Rivals As previously stated Carie has some trouble getting along with people. While she would much rather keep to herself and avoid making enemies, sometimes it's just unavoidable.It isn't uncommon for a thoughtless word or two to offend someone give a bad impression. Even worse, she has a tendency to get heated should an argument arise, which quickly removes whatever small filter she may have. She doesn't hold back in any regards and won't back down should things get physical.
Being paranoid makes having enemies all the more stressful. If she suspects someone bares ill will toward her she watches them like a hawk. If she even just sees them from across the street she's going to keep a close eye on them. And if she sees anything suspicious she's liable to follow them for a ways to make sure they aren't up to something fishy. As one could imagine, it would be ill advised to show up at her home unannounced after having it out with her.
Lovers Relationships are a tough thing for Carie. As cautious as she is with friends, it's easy to imagine why she's single. Any advances on her are immediately met with suspicion, and she's not exactly looking to get involved with someone herself. It's not impossible for her to have a romantic relationship, but it would be a slow and treacherous road. Until true trust is gained, a single misstep or betrayal could spell disaster. And if she lets someone get that close and this happens? Odds are even a friendship is out the window.
Of course when the apocalypse comes and she's one of the only surviving humans on Earth, she's willing to help repopulate.

CAROLINE ALDRIN x alysonenemies?? friends?? [attr="class","scroll-light"]i'm not sure what caroline's impression of aly would be, but they could get off to a rough start because aly dislikes people who don't have a filter/get heated easily. w/ time she could probably learn to respect or maybe befriend her so?? possible enemies to friends plot?

Initially, enemies would probably make the most sense. Carie has a lot of trouble relaxing, so she tends to rely on alcohol to help her do so. And when she does there tends to be trouble. I could imagine their first encounter being as bartender and patron and ending with both sides having a sour taste in their mouth. But if they cross paths in a less tense environment she would be willing to smooth things over.
How close they get would be up in the air until they start threading, but there is definitely some potential for these two. JUNIER OF GS + ADOX |

what's up coolio! does CAROLINE ALDRIN live on the outskirts of anytown given her liking for remoteness? just thinking that if she were having a problem with the local wildlife – animal disturbances that might be growing a li'l more recently, who knows (winky face) – she ends up with a hand from RICHARD YEO who is checking it out himself. oh, what's that you ask? shouldn't that be a job for animal control? uh, cutbacks. department cutbacks. it's ever so sad, the economy, etc.
aka, i really like the thought of rping a recluse like carie with richard. two totally different ppl but... that's where the fun is, right? also, let's get some wilderness survival skills going. if this idea ain't yr cup 'a' tea i'm always up for something else mate! |

Either way forks for me. Things have been a little busy on my end so if you don't mind potential slight delay then I can start it. Or if you wanna get the ball rolling feel free to go on ahead! Ah yes, these two are most definitely opposites. However as odd as it may be, Carie lives in the Westside. Her desire to protect others overrode her self preservation instincts. So instead of keeping herself safe with a house out of the way, she's got a house in town but is slowly turning it into a stronghold on the down low. That way when it hits the fan she can at least try to save some of the neighborhood.
That being said, she would still want to scope out the wilderness areas around the town. Knowing about the local plant and animal life is an important part of survival. And she would rather get in the dirt and figure than just ask around or look it up. she may also engage in a little unlicensed hunting but that's beside the point Of course she's always armed, especially if she's in the woods. Even if she was in a tight spot I'm afraid she's not the type to call for help. Though it could work out that she takes a shot at an aggressive animal and he investigates?
Another possibility is that Carie sees Richard checking out the woods himself and gets suspicious. She would try to tail him and be sneaky about it, but I imagine being the 'secret agent man' he is ol' Richy wouldn't take too long to realize he was being followed. Of course I'm just spit balling here all I know is that I would love a thread with these two, regardless of the circumstance. JUNIER OF GS + ADOX |

CAROLINE ALDRIN + RICHARD YEO , pssch, overrated things like protecting others!! fine, if that’s what carie wants, she can actually live in town for once. i’m glad there are other possibilities here! you mention she wouldn’t need help but you’ve mentioned protecting other people has got me thinkin’. what if she came across another hunting party who’ve had an accident – possible spooky animal incident included – would she stick around to help in them in that? cue park ranger appearance which she has to endure or sneaks away roped into the investigation later?
but oh man would love to read carie on the prowl herself…. decisions, decisions! i’m leaning towards the investigation idea, though. if that works for you – or you’ve got an alternate idea – just gimme the go ahead/edits and i can start it? |

Hm, those all sound like good threads.She would definitely try to help out an injured hunting party, even if it meant she had to deal with Richard the whole time. I think that sounds like the best way to get a thread going, since it has the potential to involve the site's plot elements as well. Carie's real curious about the recent events surrounding the woods.
Of course this won't rule out her stalking him in the forest at a later date. Heck she'd probably be more suspicious of the guy after interacting with him, depending on how things go.
