WILLOW, KNOX
PLAYED BY :EMMA STONE
THE CHARACTER
FULL NAME:Willow Catelyn Knox
NICK NAMES: Will
PREFERRED NAME: Will
AGE: 18
GENDER:Female
OCCUPATION: Had been preparing for freshmen year of college.
HOME REGION: Northeast
PREFERRED WEAPONS: A 3.5 foot spade, her father's hunting knife, a slingshot (More of a tool then a weapon. It isn't incredibly lethal.)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Despite what her name might suggest, Willow has a sturdy build, standing at 5'5'' with a defined hourglass figure. She played soccer in high school, though other physical activities never really interested her, so her stamina and strength are moderate, though not overly impressive. Her hair is a rich auburn, straight and most often kept in a tight braid or wound into a neat bun.
Since the end of the world, she dresses practically, in jeans, sturdy boots, a cotton tank under a similar t-shirt, a heavy sweatshirt, and her brother's leather jacket. Under so many layers, she could almost pass as male with her head covered, a fact she has depended on more then once.
PERSONALITY: Will has always been a serious girl. At four years old she was debunking the other preschooler's stories of imaginary friends and tooth fairies. Her focus had always been on her schoolwork and soccer, a fact that made her the object of teasing occasionally. She did have her friends of course, but generally, Will preferred a night curled up with a book over a night out on the town.
Will is a problem solver. Despite having a number of fears, she is quick to overcome them (or at least, attempt to) by rationalizing as best as she can. She deals with panic solemnly, and with chaos coldly. While this makes Will excellent to have around in a crisis, it almost makes her seem aloof and detached. As such, it is difficult for her to form relationships with other people, and even more difficult to express such relationships once they are created.
As stated, Will has a number of fears. The greatest of these include deep water (she cannot swim), large animals (such as horses), heights, and the dark. Oddly enough, the one thing she does not particularly fear are is the undead.
LIKES
- Coffee
- Sunrises
- Violin music (she used to play, and classical string music is probably the thing she misses most about civilization)
- Soccer
- Solving problems, puzzles or games
DISLIKES
- Any of her fears, or situations that have them thrust upon her.
- Arrogance.
- Loud crowds/Many people in cramped spaces
- The smell of cigarettes
- Guns
HISTORY BEFORE: Willow was born on a stormy November night to Amelie and Nathanial Knox. The couple had been married five years, having met three prior when both were in college. An unexpected pregnancy prompted their early marriage, bringing forth Willow's older brother, Quinn. Despite others misgivings, the two were very much in love, and their relationship continued to prosper despite their young age. With the help of Nathanial's parents, the two were able to finish college and begin careers while still raising Quinn, and later, Willow. Amelie became a nurse, while Nathanial took a job as a scientific geneticist researcher for the government.
Willow's childhood was fairly normal. She grew up in New York City, and her father's influence got her enrolled in a good private school. Grades took most of her focus, though she did find a great love in the game of soccer. If she were completely honest, her time growing up through school could be considered a tad boring.
However when Willow was fourteen, her parents were in an automobile accident that left her mother deceased and her father in a coma. Several months later he too passed away. Willow was put under the care of her grandfather, until he too passed away two years later. At this point, Quinn received court approved legal guardianship. The deaths of her parents weighed heavily on Willow, and she grew even more reserved and quiet.
