Echo Epoch

Personality
Echo's personality can be described as Shy, Timid and Naive with a lack of Self Confidence. Despite this she is quite Persistent, Hardworking and Daring when necessary to prove herself. Resulting in her often taking rash action before fully thinking things through. Due to this she has little care for her actions being viewed morally, 'Right or Wrong.' She is a Impressionable young woman and will try to imitate those around her. Copying their speech, repeating phrases, copying poses, emotions and even walks, etc. She seeks out the approval of her peers, particularly Draxon. She has inner conflict within herself about being brave and proving herself. Yet she is filled with self doubt and considers herself to be in the 'omega' role in the family.

History
• When Echo was born she cried so much it echoed across the vault to the annoyance of many. In an attempt to lull the child her mother decided to play 'The Sound Of Music' which soothed her daughter's tears. • As Echo grew up being a bit of an oddball and an outcast. Speaking little but observing those around her to learn. Obsessively watching musicals and secretly singing in private. • When she was old enough her mother taught her much about general medicine though Echo showed little interest in the knowledge. • Echo was quick to become independent and wonder off on her own. The elders commented in some ways she was like a house cat who vanishes for days but always returns. • When Draxon left the vault Echo would often sneak out of the vault herself but stayed relatively hidden from sight. When her mother caught Echo sneaking out Clarke informed Draxon and made the request to take Echo with him to the outside.

Cannibalism
Echo adapted well to the cannibalistic ways inside the vault. She believes eating others will bring her inner strength (Something her mother told her to make her feel better about eating fellow Wastelanders.) Clarke would often remove and cook organs from deceased Wastelanders for personal feasting. Being quite impressionable Echo believes eating humans is a culinary delicacy. Upon seeing someone deceased she is almost overwhelmed with desire to eat them. To the point she salvates. She won't feel remorse because she thinks it a waste to let a body rot.

Language & Communication
Echo isn't a big talker as she prefers to observe others around her. It takes a while to warm up to people but that doesn't mean she lacks interest in communication. She hopes to develop close bonds with people despite her lack of social skills. She speaks common phrases such as, 'Yess' and 'Nos.' among other basic words to express her desires. (Hunts, Fishie, Drives.) Using 'da' in place of 'The' as many of the Wastelanders do. She will say people's names as it's necessary to get their attention.

Family
▶ Echo considers all of the Wastelanders her family. Her Birth parents are Clarke and Blake Epoch. ▶ Echo's mother Clarke was and is an OB-GYN and General MD for those in the bunker. She however took some unnecessary risk when she herself became pregnant with her only child, Echo. Some frowned upon her risking her life to have a child risking her potentially losing her life and valuable knowledge. ▶ Echo's father Blake was responsible for maintenance within the vault. When the tunnels collapsed he attempted to clear debris to re-connect the tribes with little success. Unfortunately they didn't have a structural engineer and those who attempted to move rubble we're crushed and killed. It resulted in his death and the decision from the others not to risk their lives to re-connect the clans.
