Personality: Due to emotional trauma when she was younger, Carrie suffers from RTS, panic attacks, insomnia and hapnophobia, and often likes to isolate herself from people. She has major personal space issues, and will flinch away from any form of physical contact, and gets uncomfortable being within touching distance of someone else. Despite this, she still takes pride in her schoolwork and is one of the smartest kids in her grade, she just doesn't play well with others. She doesn't have a lot of confidence in herself, and finds it comforting when people are encouraging towards her.

History:

Carrie grew up in a very quaint family, and she never really thought of defying them or leaving them and never returning. She was going well in school, had a few not friends although she wasn't really close to any of them, but she had enough to keep her happy. It wasn't until she was fourteen and she spent a week home alone with her older brother while her parents visited a sick relative and she was raped by her step-brother, who told her that it was normal and how people practice.

Never one to cause a scene, Carrie said nothing to her parents and tried to carry on as normal, but she knew she couldn't. She couldn't walk past her step-brother everyday, and she made every effort to not look him in the eye. She tried to keep her head down and study but she found herself prone to panic attacks and insomnia which kept her up all night. Finally, her history teacher stepped in, sending her to the guidance counsellor who recommended that she move to a school away from home, the idea of which, she couldn't fathom.

At first she moved to Greenwood Boarding Academy, trying her best to settle in, but finding it hard to sleep. It wasn't until her roommate taught her some self-defense that she could manage sleep at all. Just as she began settling in, however, she was disturbed again by the school closing down. Her parents provided her with the option of returning back home, which Carrie quickly turned down, opting instead to go to the grammar school a few town's over, and residing in the boarding house over there.
