Character Information
Character Name: Carrie White
Played By:
Original Canon: Carrie (2013)
Personality: For the most part, Carrie is quiet, unassuming, and incredibly shy. She's also very sheltered, having spent the first sixteen years of her life very much under the thumb of her controlling, religious zealot of a mother. There are a lot of things Carrie is still learning about the world and, for that matter, about herself.
Having been abused by her mother, both emotionally and physically, Carrie has understandable and deep-seated trust issues. When a girl is told every free thought and action she has or takes is a sin, and that her very existence is punishment for her mother's sins, it makes it hard for her to be anything other than insecure, defensive, and distrustful.
Carrie is the kind of girl who will take abuse and bullying until she snaps and when she does, things get intense and quickly. She's the type to immediately assume she's being tricked or made fun of when someone tries to be nice to her, which hurts her ability to have any sort of relationships with others, enough though that's all she wants and needs to thrive.
Genuinely, Carrie just wants to be left alone if she can't be loved. It's when she's pushed to a limit that she resorts to an ultra-defensive stance that very, very easily crosses the line into being dangerously on the offense.
Abilities & Skills:
Childhood: Carrietta (Carrie) White is the illegitimate child of Margaret White and her last known partner. Margaret maintained that Carrie is little more than the result of Margaret's weakness to the temptations of the flesh. As such, Carrie has known mostly shame for the better part of her life.
She grew up in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine, isolated from her peers by her social awkwardness combined with her mother's relentless pushiness of her religion upon the mothers of Carrie's peers. With no self-esteem and her mother's unwillingness to allow Carrie to dress in trend- and age-appropriate clothes, spend time with other boys and girls her age, or learn anything not strictly necessary to graduate high school or worship God, Carrie lacks general social awareness and skill sufficient to make friends. Therefore, her existence is lonely and resentful, even as an adult.
Perceived misbehavior or slights to Margaret or God/religion, in general, were punished by Carrie being sometimes physically assaulted, and nearly always locked in her prayer closet until she prayed hard enough to be considered "clean" again. This continued into her teens up until Margaret's death.
She has no male influence in her life, so she lacks the ability to interact comfortably with boys or men, generally assuming them to be a threat of some kind, whether to her personally or to her relationship with God.
Present Occupation: She's a seamstress, sewing custom dresses for commissions.
Present Residence: After the attack in the gym and Carrie's killing her mother in self-defense, she went, essentially, on the run.
She's currently living alone in a small apartment that looks a little like a hoarder's nest with all of the fabric and sewing materials strewn about more often than not.

Abilities & Skills:
- Special Abilities; Carrie is telekinetic and mildly pyrokinetic. She realized this slowly when she started to notice that strange things sometimes happened when she would get especially emotional. A few Google searches and books later, she realized there was a name for what she could do.
- Skills; She's an incredible seamstress, able to sew garments from scratch with the right tools and time to do so.
