------- ( alicia vikander + cisfemale + she/her ) — there’s a rumor running around about a survivor called danneel laundin. they are said to be twenty nine years old, from lowell, oregon , and have been labeled the arcane. fitting, considering that they are reported to be equanimous + versatile, as well as aloof + uncompromising. they reside in fort point and are a deputy. apparently they are a bisexual + scorpio. worn leather, empty bullet casings.
hiya babes ! i’m nae, she/her, 19 -- although :/ i have all the traits of a Grandma™ -- i’m currently studying animal studies at college, i’m from good ol’ straya, and my favourite past time is Destroying the lives of my ocs ! it’s lovely to meet ya’ll ! i’ll be writing danneel laundin, who was loosely based off an old oc that i’ve been playing in hs for awhile now, but i’m so EXCITED so let’s get down to the itty bitty bits, huh !
also that . . . .beautiful . . .angelic. . . .smile? Fake. don’t trust it, she’s a SNAKE.
tw. murder, alcoholism.
born danneel eve laundin ( call her nell ! ) at the coffee creek correctional facility ( after mama got arrested nine months prior due to theft & fraud offences. n*ce ! ) to parents staffan & petra laundin --- staffan owned the local lowell hunting & tackle store and petra was. . . . the ol’ rapscallion of town --- a couple that admitted their relationship was created purely for the convenience rather than affection & the child that formed was not one of love, but one from drunken foolishness. the only two things they managed to agree on was ONE. they hated the thought of being stuck together for the remainder of their days and TWO. they hated the thought of being stuck together for the remainder of their days with a child.
petra was in and out of the correctional facility for the majority of her child’s life, and danneel learnt not to grow attached to the flighty woman that’s forever leaving --- many times a toddler shed some tears for the woman that would barely give her a glance when she walked in the front door from a late night or the months spent behind bars. danneel is only young when she learns that a hard heart is a safe heart, and the ice thickens around her own ---- which is inevitable considering the parental figure she was forced to be raised by. staffan laundin is all sharp edges & intimidation, an icy shell and even icier core that never falters, and a man that never shows affection, softness, nor smiles. emotions are absent in this household, and any tears or laughter danneel emits is scolded. he despises her, she can tell, because he wanted a son, not a daughter.
danneel spends her childhood struggling to gain her father's respect --- afterall, a girl can’t keep up with him, nor can she be trusted to man his store, or go on hunts. she fights hard to keep up with his pace & prove her capabilities, and eventually the constant scowls & stern tones from the Old Prude eventually subdue ; he teaches her how to fire a rifle, how to track her game, how to navigate the wilderness, how to be HUNTER and not hunted.
danneel is only fifteen when her mother is convicted of second degree murder, and petra laundin pleads guilty to the crime, receiving a lifetime sentence ---- the laundin’s weren’t a well off family. the store her father owned was a unreliable source of income that often left meals being replaced with whatever game steffan managed to drag home, but following the conviction of petra, the town of lowell refused to purchase off the family who murdered one of the most respectful men in town. reputations run wild, and soon speculations began that it was a family ordeal, and even the father and daughter are shunned.
the remainder of danneel’s school life was brutal, spawning a defensive streak & sharp tongue that gets her into more trouble than not. she drops out of highschool, works at her dad’s full time at her father’s store. eventually, she moves one town over; gets a job at buckhorn tavern & feels settled ---- she makes sure visit mom once a year ( two if she can help it. ) and her dad every few months. but danneel doesn’t have much sentiment for family, she doesn’t have much sentiment over anything.
following the news of the virus, danneel instinctively retreats to her father who, just like any other visitation, is passed out on the floor due to drink. lowell remains secure for a good week before people start to panic when mrs. kluger decides to take a chump out of her husband down the road & the whole town gets taken by the dead --- the laundin’s take refugee in the hunting cabin, and do what they’ve done for years ; hide from the world, survive on their own.
danneel spends a year there, and besides the odd infected that gets caught in a trap or bangs on their front door, that year is peaceful, for the apocalypse. staffan comes home with dinner looking like he’s been through the war -- scratches line his neck & there’s a bite wound on his shoulder -- and danneel doesn’t wait to put him out of his misery, she pulls the gun on him then and there.
she remained on her own after that tbh. she didn’t join any other camps, avoided interaction with anyone ( was with one chick for awhile tho?? uh , ,her name was blair ?? or brigid ?? briar?? danneel might have left her 2 Die. ) in fact, she avoided the human species for the entirety of her travel to san francisco, and even then, the thought of joining a camp? Disgusting, but she took a liking to fort point. found the people who resided there . . .interesting, adopted the title deputy and for the most part does a pretty darn good job, if i do say so myself !
except the moral compass is a little iffy, but it’s Fine. for the most part she’s ok. the other parts she’s a Rude Ass DEVIL who needs to learn to keep her gun in her holster ! gosh.
has a really good sense of judgement tho, , ,not trying to justify her Bad Habits because i disapprove of everything she does, but she’s very much like a hybrid between carol peletier and, , ,Vengeful rick grimes??
wanted plots.
what up, i have the creativity of a Teaspoon, my dudes ✌️ i will work?? on my wanted plots page now in more detail ?? but??
she’s one Mean Bean, give me someone who pulls her up on her bad social skills !! or scolds her for trying to kill the prisoner, because she saw him do a Suspicious Blink Sequence that looked like morse code and now she thinks he’s a camp SPY
a friend?? what’s that?? more like Moral Support & Mutual Respect. maybe even a drinking buddy?? someone that might have even been able to get some Juicy facts out of her !
Mm. angst. let’s give her an enemy too because that’s always fun ! probably someone she disagrees with?? or took a dislike to?? or she distrusts?? or maybe it’s the other way around. either way, let’s get 'em riled up !
a softie that nell has taken under her wing?? nell isn’t one for emotional commitment, but this person?? why aren’t you standing up for yourself?? here, let me Kill this guy for you--
uh ---- that’s all my brain can handle at this stage. Come Back in 3-5 Business Days For More !
