Well, This is my Gears of War Prequel fic Character.
Her name is Jane Doe, Jay for short, and If you've read Aspho Fields, then you'll know what I'm talking about in this next little bit.

Jay is first introduced (as a sniper) when she kills a Locust strangling Dom. Later that evening, The squad, still looking for their phantom shooter, comes across the shell of a mall that she's been living in. She runs, but quickly ambushes them and manages to disarm Marcus and hold Baird at gunpoint before Dom reluctantly shoots her in the shoulder. She surrenders, and after Cole bandages her up, they agree to let her stay the night with them. They wake up the next morning to find her gone, a scribbled note of thanks in her place. They drop the Boomer, and Dom uncovers Bernie. Bernie goes out to meet Marcus, and she summons Jay out of her hiding place.
The book continues as written.

At first, everyone mistakes her for a guy. Her hair is cut short and choppy. Her chest is flat. She's pretty muscular, and barely speaks. But finally, one day, someone says something in reference to the assumption that she's a guy, and she corrects them. She binds her chest so she has more mobility, she wears pants and a T-shirt because shaving isn't realistic in an apocalyptic situation, she cuts her own hair with a pair of pruning shears, and she barely talks because there's not much to talk about.

If I do say so myself, I think I've created the PERFECT apocalyptic heroine. You know how in videogames you always see these girls running around in belly tops and ass shorts, with long hair and bronze skin? Well, Jay is pretty much the opposite of that. Everything about her is efficient, made for use rather than looking. She's got scars, she isn't frail, and she acts like a guy. My favorite quote by her so far is, "Why the hell would I shave? Shaving isn't realistic in this kind of situation. It's a pain in the ass, and I don't have time. Besides not being able to find razors anywhere in this godforsaken dump, it's not like there are any guys to keep the looks up for!" She cuts her hair short to keep it out of the way, and I'm sure if she could cut her tits off to keep them out of the way, she'd do that, too. She's cynical, made that way by the crappy world she lives in. Oh, and, by the way, she's a teenage amnesiac. The only thing she remembers about herself is that she was born 3 years before E-Day.
