.:Physical Appearance:. Grey's appearance completely goes against what her name would suggest. With large, green eyes flecked with hazel overtones, a heart shaped face with a strong, structured jaw, coppery hair that falls in loose waves down her back, and a glowing radiance, she is anything but dull or gloomy or grey...

For a 21 year old, Grey isn't as tall as you'd assume. Compared to her friends, she is relatively short, not that this bothers her. Her parents are both short also and she finds that, actually, sometimes, being tiny has its advantages. It's a great thing when she wants to hide away and find time for herself. It's great when she finds herself in trouble; her size paired with her doe-like expression are usually a sure way to avoid it.

How she dresses matters. Grey likes to take care in her appearance (or at least try). She likes to make sure her hair is brushed and her face is washed and her clothes are clean and unscrunched. Heaven knows why, it's not like anybody pays any attention in this place. Still, she has pride in herself and it often shows. The girl will walk around with her confidence beaming through, her nose slightly in the air and a smile always on her lips. However, as much as she enjoys being a doll, she doesn't over do it. Plain T-shirts and jumpers, plain jeans and flats are what she's most comfortable in.

.:Personality:. Mature, feisty, headstrong, stubborn, but also naive - This is pretty much Grey in a nutshell. She's a tough cookie who prefers to learn through the mistakes she makes (just ask her parents). Even in her teens, though she was grown up in most aspects, it was always hard to make her listen, even when those trying to make her listen knew what was best for her. She is known to be stubborn. Once she has her mind set on something it is very rare to make her waver. This isn't necessary a bad thing. It means she isn't scared to make choices and take leadership when she needs too.

Having no experience with the outside world has also left her a bit naive, though. She is safe inside, she has everything she needs. If she was ever to step foot outside she probably wouldn't last a day. She'd admit this and the thought terrifies her but, inside, she is knowledgeable and can easily look after herself. She hates that there isn't much to do but at the same time she loves that anything she needs is only a stones throw away. She is comfortable so why should she need anything else?

Taking on a motherly role for the younger kids, Grey has always been a natural when it comes to caring for others. She hasn't had any siblings but has always wished that she could have done. It's too late now, her mother has reached that age when it is no longer possible to do so. She never had anyone to share her stories with or anybody to pass her knowledge too. Finding a job looking after the neighbours younger children has given her the chance to do this. It has given her a purpose which she gladly accepts. yet it isn't what she wants to do forever. It's not quite challenging enough. One day, in the near future, she is hoping to be taken on as an apprentice for the technical team. Until then, she is keeping herself busy, still learning about the world every day and making the most of the skills she does have.

.:Birthplace:. Inside the Mountain
.:Family:. She lives with her mother (Ebony) and father (Theodore) and is an only child.
.:Occupation:. Childrens nanny during the day and kitchen help in the evening.
.:History:. Born and raised inside Mount Weather, Grey has had a very sheltered, very easy life so far. Like all children of the Mountain, she went to school and studied hard. She loved reading and learning new things, especially things about Earth before the disaster. Naturally, she had and still has a healthy obsession with the outside world and the documented events that took place and because of this she could never truly be happy living her life indoors, stuck within the confinements of the mountain. She still dreams today that one day she will be blessed to walk through the grass surrounding her home and feel the sun on her face. She longs to see an ocean also.

As she grew, Grey continued to learn everything she could. As there was a lot of free time and a childs mind could easily become bored, she found that short puzzles and problem solving could help ease her need for more. Mathematics also became a way to pass time. When she reached her teenage years, she began helping her mother in the kitchens in the evening, assisting the lady with peeling vegetables and curing meats. The older she got the better she became and soon she was cooking and baking for the numbers alongside a team of other experienced cooks. She also found another small job to help pass time which was looking after her neighbours small children while they worked during the day. Her life got busier and busier and slowly, though it has always been at the back of her mind, her longingness to venture the great outdoors became less desperate. She instead talked to the younger children about what she had learnt, telling them the stories she had read of a land that used to be thriving with people, billions of them, and how one day they themselves may just get to see it. She knew by now that it was never going to happen in her lifetime. People of the mountain simply could not live outside. The air contaminated their bodies and destroyed them. Word had it that there were people, scientists, trying to find a way, though, so she had held on to that hope for as long as she could. Unfortunately, as she got older, she could no longer put faith in wishful thinking and began to look at the facts.

She is never going to experience the feel of grass beneath her bare feet, or feel the warmth of the sun against her skin, or shield her eyes as she looks up to a cloudless sky. She will never get to hear the sound of waves lapping against a sandy beach or the sound of gulls flying overhead. Today, these are just stories of make believe and she is getting too old for that.
