IF RELEVANT, PLEASE COMMENT ON ANY IMPORTANT CANON DIVERGENCES:
Echo was one sibling in a set of fraternal twins. When she was eight years old, her twin sister died in an accident where she chose to save herself, instead of sacrificing herself. They live with a tremendous amount of guilt. When the fallout started and no one who knew them in the past was left, they began to go by their sister’s name - Echo.
WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED & ANY IMPORTANT ALLIANCES OF NOTE: Mount Weather - The Ice Nation - The Coalition; formerly believed to be Alexandria, Hilltop
IMPORTANT CHARACTER INFORMATION TO NOTE AND SHARE (this could be important headcanons for initial plotting, mini bios etc, supporting docs etc):
As a child, Echo was extremely quiet after their twin’s death. They excelled in school but had few friends. Archery was their hobby of choice and she was exceptionally good at it, winning several competitions and awards for it. This skill has stuck with them since the world went to shit.
Prior to the apocalypse, Echo came from a military background. They enlisted practically the day that they turned eighteen to escape from their home in what, at the time, seemed like the only viable way how. This is where many of their survival skills, particularly their sharpshooting skills, come from.
Echo was an early part of the grounders, leaning into the stringent leadership of the Ice Nation. Due to their own background within the military, she quickly became a trusted spy for Nia. This included playing a hand in Costia’s death.
When Nia by Lexa was killed as a part of the in-fighting, Echo was enraged and devastated, but their loyalty persisted. Their loyalty transferred to Roan. She did not, and still does not fully, understand how Roan was lost of why he was spared - but she is grateful he was.
After Roan, Clarke, and the others come across Rick’s group, Echo was one of the spies who was sent to watch their group. This led to her spending a significant amount of time (years) exploring some of the other settlements such as Alexandria and Hilltop.
Echo was one of the individuals who was captured as a part of Mount Weather. They were not actively experimented on, due to the number of prisoners that were taken in at one and their ability to lay low compared to many of the others who were taken captive. This weighs on her - not the impact of being captured itself, but that they were able to be taken in the first place.
Echo has continued to occasionally spy and keep an eye on some of the other places since that Mount Weather incident, but has stepped back in most of it. Having done it for so long, their face has become too recognizable.
