ANNABELLE CLOUDIA, aka “Star Ryder”
-She’s special, for many, MANY different reasons. To start out, if you thought 70 years in ice was long, try about 150 years in Carbonite while drifting through space, and then waking up to find out that earth has miniature bands that play in a piece of metal! Practically everything amazes her, yet at the same time disappoints her. At least burgers are good and not too foreign of a concept for the cowgirl…

FRIENDS, HEROES, COUNTRYMEN
-This girl is old in the sense of someone going by the fact that she was born in 1840. However, she actually still has the physique and capabilities of a twenty-four-year-old, acts like an ADHD stricken teenager, and has the desire to belong. Friends are very important to Annabelle. Heck, her alien crewmates in space were her best pals even though they abducted her! What the hell is Stockholm Syndrome anyways? Jokes aside, the alien crew proved to be a great second family for Annabelle.

-She seems to get along better with the guys due to her upbringing, but some time with the girls may be good for her health or something. Also, on the note of friends, she loves good drinking buddies. Only, she won’t have them on the rocks anymore due to her experience with carbonite… She’s currently staying at the Initiative for the Greater Good because she’s worried she’ll lose her house in the sea of apartments (yet she still gets lost at the Initiative all the time…).

-Also she can sing really good. Seriously. But she hates Country Music. Give her some classic rock like Deep Purple, Credence Clearwater Revival, Foreigner, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin over that “Kenny Chesney Crap.” She played a variant of the guitar in space, so if she got her hands on one, she could probably play it really well and would love to do songs with friends. She also can make excellent beef jerky and food in general, provided she understands modern appliances, which will take quite a while…

PISS OFF TRIGGERS
-If you shoot a crow, that’s fine. She shoots like 10 a day. If you steal a bagel from the cafeteria, she won’t tell anybody. She’ll one up you and steal two. But if you even think about hurting kids, shooting songbirds for fun, harming fellow man for no good reason, or stealing something really really cool, you’d better be ready for a firing squad of one, strawberry-blonde, pissed off cowgirl. Also she’ll go after any target the initiative gives her simply due to the whole bounty hunter mindset, but she won’t make you her arch-nemesis because of that. But if you do the aforementioned taboos, Kevlar won’t save you from lasers, buddy.

ROMANCING THE STONE
-In space, she was admired for her skill with weapons. In space, she traversed with her crew in a purely platonic relationship. Annabelle wasn’t one for flirting as part of her business and pleasure. She wasn’t raised like that. However, on earth, something’s different. She’s not opposed to having a relationship beyond “friends” or something, but because of her “Age” she’s afraid people might find it weird, even though she still has all of the capabilities of a twenty-four-year-old woman. She is NOT one for one night stands, since she really wants a deep and emotional bond. But, whoever would have her would have to have the patience of Job, as everything is new and different to her.

-She’s the kind of girl that would treat you right, but wouldn’t hesitate to kick you down under if you tried anything. She’s the kind of girl that would groan if you uttered “make me a sandwich” and bring you a salad out of spite, yet feel bad about it five minutes later and bring you the best durn sandwich you’d ever eaten. She’s the kind of girl that wouldn’t get mad over the little things, but would appear that way because she’s trying to figure out how that new thing you bought works. She’s the kind of girl that wouldn’t normally wear a pretty dress but would do it if you really wanted her to or if she felt like wearing a damn dress.

FACTS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE FUN
-Her favorite food is Gillendheizebrefop, which is a sort of sandwich that has a kind of space cattle meat (most of the time space sheep) smothered between some sauce and alien bread. Basically, it’s a type of burger. As a result, she really appreciates America’s fascination with the German delicacy turned American staple.

-Her stardust horse is probably the only one of its kind, since Cosmic Creatures were designed mainly after alien species different from earth’s. The horse acts like the real deal, and is still alive after 150ish years.

-Don’t. Ever. Give. Her. A. Teddy. Bear. She will shoot that thing full of holes. Ever seen The Revenant? She’d sympathize very well with DiCaprio. If you HAVE to get her a stuffed animal, make sure it’s a stuffed dog, cat, or something that isn’t a bear.

-She has a nice little drawl when she talks. It’s sort of a mix between Western and Dixie, since her family moved to Nebraska from Georgia. It’s nothing like a typical Nebraska accent, and is sort of unique considering her upbringing.

-She’s been familiar with magic. During the great Oregon Trail and California Gold Rush deal, she was able to meet the Morricone family on their way west. The Morricones set up a show in the nearby town in order to collect enough money to move forward on their journey. During this, Annabelle befriended Henry Morricone. After she disappeared, the Morricones split, with some going forwards to California, and the others going back to New England.

-The aliens were actually coming to earth to collect wheat when they abducted her. Surprisingly, they had just been to a local farm near the Cloudia ranch where they caught a few chickens, a few cows, and a large amount of earth vegetables. They were on the way to escape the earth when they noticed the injured human. The captain felt that they needed to save her, since the technology of the “primitive race” couldn’t do anything for her, and as a result, they gained their best marksman.
