Overall Personality: Soley is extremely dependable. Never one to leave someone out in the snow she would give the coat off her back if you needed it. She isn't one to shy away from work and isn't apposed to getting her hands dirty when needed, Having grown up in a small village in Iceland she was raised that helping others was the number one thing you could do. Soley isn't one to raise her voice, Always having a calm demeanor she doesn't really ever show aggression towards people, even if she's angry or upset she'll stay as composed as she can. 

History: Soley grew up in a small village in the far northern region of Iceland that stays snow covered for nine to ten months out of the year, only breaking for a few months during summer and not ever lasting long. Her childhood was a little different than most, being home schooled she never experienced the 'traditional' school life. Soley spent most of her childhood helping with the daily chores around the house by day and doing school work by night, She never complained however, to her the daily routine was the norm, it was what she knew and what she was accustomed to. On the weekends she would go out and play with the other children in the small community that sat on the edge of the vast Norwegian Sea. When she was ten Soley was taught to sew and cook from her mother to give her the skills she would need to survive as an adult and both tasks became something she enjoyed, Sewing slowly became something that calmed her nerves and cooking became something like a competition of sorts with her mother, they would take turns every day and her father would be the elected judge.

When Soley turned twenty her parents surprised her with a trip to America for a few weeks, The prospect of getting to see another culture and area of the world had always intrigued her so when this news met her ears she had a permanent smile glued to her face all the way from leaving Iceland to getting through customs in Dallas Texas.

Soley and her family had been traveling around the southern and western portion of the United States for the last week, coming back to the Dallas area after going all the way to San Francisco where they visited the golden gate bridge. After passing through the grand cannon on their way there they circled back around to regroup and relax for a few days before catching their flight back to Iceland. Soley had enjoyed every last bit of it, the sights, the people, the weather, everything; the thought of wanting to live there some day cross her mind a few times, not having to keep a fire going for ten months out of the year and having everything within walking distance you could ever wish to have was extremely enticing. The only thing that intimidated her though was the tongue of the people there was as alien to her as her's was to them. Her father had done most of the talking up to that point and she hadn't really had a reason to learn it so it didn't bother her all that much but as time would go on she would start regretting that decision.

Making it back to Dallas Soley and her family rented a room in a local hotel to pass the days before their return flight was set to leave, spending her time going through the souvenirs she had collected throughout their travels, some she found, Others were bought for her like the rock she took from the grand cannon, the Magnet with a picture of the Golden Gate bridge that her father had bought her from the shop close by along with a plethora of other ins and outs that they had snagged along they way, They didn't really do anything in Dallas however, opting to just hang out in the hotel room until the day their flight was set to leave rolled around.

The day to leave had come, Sadly. Soley didn't want to leave at all, even though she didn't understand anything being said by anyone but her parent's she loved being in the concrete jungle that America was living up to being. The morning came and she fought every step of the way when they were getting ready to return, Every step was a struggle as they made their way through the doors of DFW and into departure. Only when they got there they noticed a commotion at the gate, the attendant wasn't letting people board, in fact, none of the attendants were letting people board any of the flights. All flights had been put on hold, but for what? Soley wondered as she glanced around at the angry and frustrated faces around her, her parents being among them as they argued in alien tongue to the woman behind the desk, Soley caught bits and pieces but was lost for the most part.

As the time passed a man in a suit on the television caught the crowds attention and was reporting on dead walking, to find shelter immediately and to not leave your homes. With all flights canceled and the preposterous tale of the walking dead beginning to roam Soley's father grabbed their stuff and marched his family back out of the building mumbling to himself about how they'll just catch another flight and that the he wasn't dealing with those people any more, Ironically, the flight would begin boarding about ten minutes after they left and was one of the last flights out of the airport before the end...

That was three weeks ago now and to the families horror the rumors and news reports they had been hearing were true, The dead now ruled the land. Having run out of food in their hotel room Soley and her family moved east towards Florida where they managed to find a small settlement, Among the inhabitants Soley met Katrina, a woman about two years older than her and oh so beautiful. Spending a number of months there Katrina had made a point to try and improve her English. The day that place fell was a sad day, a very sad day. The place had been dealing with a group of bandits that had claimed the area a few months prior to the families arrival and they didn't really give the place any grief unless they failed to give them what they asked for, The day they didn't however was the day they would regret for the rest of their lives. The drop hadn't been made and the bandits pulled the plug. The next morning Soley and Katrina awoke to the sounds of chaos. Crunched for time as their window of escape was closing Soley and Katrina fled, Her parents nowhere to be seen as they ran out of the back exit that luckily, the bandits didn't know about.

Two weeks had passed since that fateful day and with every day Soley's spirits dropped. They still hadn't found her parents, but thankfully she had Katrina to keep her spirits up. Love had blossomed between the two early on and it burned stronger with every day.  Heading further into Florida the two managed to find a settlement with a man named Edward. Having been taken in the two now find themselves among him and his people, The grief of not knowing where her parents are still on her mind Soley busy's herself with what she can and hopes, that one day. She'll see her parent's make their way through the gates of their new home.
