Name: Jun-Lin "Thea" Huang

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Profession: Pediatrician

Appearance:

Personality: Thea is a very skittish and shy woman. She's quiet, not confident in herslef or her abilities, and frightened easily. She avoids confrontation as frequently as she can, and if she get's into and argument with someone, she almost always backs down due to fear of harm or anger. She's mouse-like in the sense that she runs often, and deer-like in the sense that she balks when confronted with an obstacle or an issue. She knows inside that she needs to change her ways. And deep down she's knows that this infection might be the very thing to break her shell and expose her to the sunlight. She desires to shed her reserved and skittish skin and blossom into someone who believes in themselves. Despite her skittishness, Thea is extremely intelligent and calculative. She is a plan-maker, and does seem to remain calmer in situations where she's needed. She's not dumb, and won't make a stupid mistake that gets her killed. (She is sort of the young Asian version of an early TV Carol Peletier from Walking Dead).

Backstory: Thea is a native of Shanghai, China. When she was five years old, she, her parents and her five siblings all immigrated to Los Angeles- her parents wanting to give a better opportunity to their children. When they immigrated, the Huang family adopted English first names. Her parents became Michael and Loren Huang, and her siblings (three brothers and two sisters) became Brian, Chase, Samuel, Amanda and Lily. Thea went from Jun-Lin, to, well, Thea. Thea and her siblings were raised in a poor home- her parents eventually able to open a dry cleaners, but barely get by. Eventually Thea and her siblings all graduated from high-school and went on to various colleges- Thea managing to gain entry to Brown University. Unfortuneately, Thea over-estimated her ability to so quickly leave home and move on with her life. She flunked out of Brown, and her parents, disheartened at their apparent useless endeavors to provide a decent future, disowned Thea. Thea lived in misery for a year or so, bumming off her friends and simmering in her own pity. Eventually, she decided that enough was enough, and somehow, she managed to gain entry into a pristine medical college, where she eventually graduated, and moved on to become a Pediatrician. Thea had graduated five years after her parents disowned her, and she hadn't talked to them in all that time. She was just on her way home to surprise her parents and siblings with the good news when the infection hit. Though she is concernced and eventually wants to find out if her family is okay, she is focusing on survivng for now.
