Name;
Nina Pollard

Nickname(s);
N

Alias;
Pan

Title;
No title

Rank;
Rank I

Age;
22

Sex;
Female

Orientation;
Probably straight but she honestly doesn't care to even think of those kinds of relationships right now.

Occupation;
Nurse

Personality;
A person who is constantly thinking of the what-ifs in life, Nina gives the impression of a very cool-headed and dependable person - which she certainly is but more than that she's just plain old tired. Life isn't what she expected it to be and it's made her bitter though it rarely shows. She has trouble being passionate about things and despite desperately wanting change she is afraid to make any moves to break the status quo. Mature and reasoned, she's very good at saying the logical thing and being sweet to worried patients when need be but both of these faces requires effort and often leaves her feeling tired afterwards. In all honesty, Nina doesn't even really know who she is or what she wants. She's tired, mentally and physically most days - and she honestly finds responsibility a chore. The constant 'hello nurse' jokes she's gotten from group mixers and the occasional co-worker or patient have made her steely and apathetic, to the point of even being hostile to men in general. A good person with really pure intentions deep down, Nina has just lost her way.

Strengths; Good at concealing her feelings, dependable, responsible, intelligent, methodical
Weaknesses: Pessimistic, dreary, quick to give up, avoids change or drama, bitter

History;

"When did it happen? How exactly did I let time pass me by like this? I'd give anything to go back in time..."

Nina was born a bright-eyed girl full of ideas and dreams. A bit of a mischief maker in her day she was a leader of her own little gang of troublemakers. They'd never harm a person or go overboard but exploring banned areas and chasing spooky ghosts was their bread and butter ... it made everyday fun. But everything changed when her mother got pneumonia and became deeply sick. Apparently she'd underestimated the harsh winter air and had been overworking herself way too much. And quite honestly? On top of everythng she'd been worrying quite a bit over her pesky daughter who was always getting into scrapes here and there. Her mother being poorly in bed meant that for once in her life, Nina was still. She spent many days indoors, spent by her mother's side. The kids she used to play with eventually got bored repeatedly knocking at her door, wondering if she could play - they gradually grew bored and they kind of moved on without her. It was fine; Nina didn't want to burden her mother like this anymore so she decided to try and change for the better and work on being a little more responsible. Though her mother's sickness had passed, she had always had rather weak lungs so frequent trips to the hospital were always necessary - Nina being more dutiful, accompanied her so as to not bring her father away from his work. Going to the hospital was harrowing at times and other times, hopeful... and Nina discovered that what she wanted to do was to help others. Maybe if she studied medicine enough she'd make a breakthrough and no one would have to suffer in such ways again. Reinvogorated, Nina started to focus her studying with a dream in mind, and she worked her tail off all through school and college in the hopes of becoming a prolific doctor.

Unfortunately somehow it just didn't work out.
A degree didn't help much if it didn't get you a job and she was too young and too impatient. She settled for a job as a nurse but two years of work really drilled it into her head that it wasn't the same. Life became very formulaic and she became depressed. Had all of her life really come to this? Had it all amounted to this? She remembered her days as a child and began to have resentments; back then she was so brave and she had so many friends - anything she wanted, she simply reached for, persevered and achieved. Nowadays she was boring and yes, responsible, but at what cost? She had nothing but her job in her life.

Like /Dislike;

Writing mini-novels
Lemon-based drinks and desserts
Fashionable clothes
Small potted plants
Hot showers (clean clothes)
Mysteries and puzzles

Men/guys (especially when they're around her age)
Flirts and pickup lines
Nail biting
Internet pop-ups
Running out of hair dye
Air freshener and scents

Additional Information/Trivia/Other;

Back when she was a pesky child, her father made her take self defence classes - nervous of her being with so many boys (some of which many years and sizes bigger than her). The lessons have stuck.

She's very testy of people being in her personal space - even when it's girls it puts her a bit on edge.

Don't surprise or grab her from behind - she might just throw you.

Her hair is naturally brown, but she's been dying it blonde for many years now.

She has no confidants in her life, and no real friends besides a stray cat that hangs out by the hospital that she feeds during lunch. As such, it's hard for her to make a connection with people.

Attribute;
Child

Description of their Dreamworld;

A world that truly brings out the child in anyone, it's a large wooden pirate ship, or at least, the deck of one, complete with a large mast and crow's nest. The ship seems to sail in the sky endlessly with no destination in mind. Even if you were to fall overboard you'd just fall right into some soft clouds that would bounch you back or carry you back to the ship. There are a collection of pirate toys including wooden swords and ropes, all seemingly toy-like in nature - plus chalk lying around and hopskotch squares on the deck.
The dream ocassionally switches from night to day - the night a childish rendition of space with a dark blue sky and drawn on little stars - a collection of small colourful bouncy balls that are reminiscent of planets, each one connected by a thin silver metal rod, like a science project. These planets seem to drift around in an endless space, completely untroubled by gravity and any real rules.
