She is fierce and decisive and will protect those she cares about. She loves baking and dancing because they make her feel alive. She loves her friends and always wants to make sure they're alright.

Petersburg with winds at a hundred miles per hour. For a change he maintained a straight course and his eye passed over St. For two days he chugged along with Tampa in his sights, then suddenly came to life again as a Category 1.
