Quotes
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I walked away, when I have the power to do something, anything."
-- Redd, Everdark
History
Redd is a human from Jewel City, Federated (or Chaos) Earth, who was raised in isolation. She began to manifest psionic powers (hearing the minds of those around her, moving things without touching them, changing objects into other objects) around puberty, which prompted her parents to begin intensive psychiatric care to gaslight her into thinking that her powers weren't real. As time went on and the treatments didn't 'cure' her, more and more extreme treatments were employed (injections, medications that made her sick and had addictive properties, electro-shock therapy without anesthetic or pain-reducers).
At sixteen, Redd, on the brink of madness, escapes and ends up on Assisi. This begins the events of Everdark.
Personality
Redd's natural personality (as of the events of Everdark) has been subsumed by coping mechanisms from her PTSD. She's paranoid, easily agitated, and leans on dark humor to cope with the effects of her mental illness. To those who earn her trust, she deeply craves affection and reassurance and will return it in kind, oftentimes to an extreme that puts her own needs on the backburner. Some aspects that seem natural to her are sarcasm, curiosity/eagerness to learn new things, and stubbornness.
