Description[]
Personality[]
Indigo is a very welcoming person up front, she greets everyone she meets with friendship, but she rarely trusts people to let her real self show through. She suffers from anxiety and inferiority stemming from her childhood and her perceived views of herself.
Appearance[]
Indigo is short, at 5 foot most everyone towers over her and her slight form. She has purple hair, blue eyes, and a scar on the right side of her face and neck. the tattoos on her arms and legs really have no meaning to her except the anchor on her chest and the "Homeward Bound" map tattoo on her leg.
Background[]
Indigo Waters was adopted at birth with the agreement that her adoptive parents could not change her name. She was raised very sheltered and treated like a servant by her family members. She was not allowed to have friends, date, or learn to drive. When she was 18 she attempted to get away from her family by joining the Navy, where she enlisted as a combat medic. She was unsuccessful in getting away from her family because when she returned from her first deployment they were waiting for her in her apartment.
December 24th 2023 Indigo Waters had enough abuse and mistreatment at the hands of her adoptive parents, aunts and uncle and burned down their family home. For weeks she had been gathering small amounts of styrofoam and gasoline and made a batch of home made Napalm in her bathroom tub. After her family had gone to sleep that night Indigo put the dogs and cat in the backyard, blocked the doors to her family's rooms and spread the napalm over the house and lit it on fire. She sat in a chair by the front window and watched the house light up in flames around her. She was going to be free one way or another. Moments before the firefighters kicked the front door open a part of a curtain laden with napalm fell on Indigo's face, severely burning her. She recovered in the hospital from those burns for 3 months and, thinking she had gotten away with it, moved from her home town to a small town in Kentucky. She lived there for 2 months before she had to return to the hospital for another surgery to her face.

Life Sentence[]
In May of 2024 Indigo was in a hospital recovering from another surgery to her face when she was arrested. The Fire Marshall had determined home made napalm was the accelerant in the fire. A cell phone recovered from Indigo's room showed her search history dating back weeks about house fires and accelerants. In a very quick trial where she chose not to testify on her own behalf, Indigo Waters was sentenced to life in prison at Bollingbroke State Penitentiary and was transferred in on 13 June 2024.
Indigo's first day in prison she met Matthew Colby and Clink Slammer. She was upfront and honest with her new cellmates about what had happened to her, showing little remorse for what she did, saying they deserved it.
The next day Indigo met Cassie Carlisle, who would become her best female friend, who she is slightly intimidated by. Their friendship has grown by leaps and bounds since that day and Indigo has been a supportive friend through Cassie's therapy, helping with many crucial breakthroughs for Cassie.
Storm betrayed Ghost and the lifers by locking Cassie in her cell for hours, causing Manor to break into the prison and liberate the lifers from under his harsh regime. Indi woke up the next day to confusion after finding out what had happened.
Indigo stuck up a friendship/mutually satisfying agreement with Bobby Beldrum from BBMC that they would keep each other "occupied" when he was sent to Bolingbroke. Indigo likes him but knows that she is only that, a distraction, while he is incarcerated.
Weeks passed and Local DOC locked all the prisoners up for 11 days, Indigo was put in a cell with inadequate ventilation and spent most of that lockdown unconscious, not noting the passage of time. She was released from her cell thinking that it was the next day and was shocked to find 11 days had passed. She received the news that Rusty and Terra's wedding didn't happen, Tanner passed away, and she struggled to cope with the news.
Indigo was talking to Terra on the scrap pile one day and mentioned to Terra that she thought another Prisoner, Alec Taylor was kinda cute.
