Name: Wilhelmina Isabelle Cross
Nicknames: She has many nicknames. Her favorite is Will, and her mother and younger sister called her Mina. Teasingly, her brothers and cousins called her Izzy, which irritated her greatly. The people she tends to often call her Miss Will’a’mina, pronouncing it incorrectly. One man she met in a small village in Bristan inexplicably called her June, much to her confusion. But seriously. Call her Will.

Attire: Just the stereotypical corset-and-skirt ensemble. She prefers black, but also likes red, blue, and violet.

Birthplace: Bristan
Present Home: A little house in Thea.
Job: Tending to the sick and injured, watching the children and helping villagers.

Personality: Will is a kind woman, but she is vain. Should someone insult her, they shall regret it for the rest of their lives, however short a time that may be. She’s quick to judge, and is not always fair. She was raised in a wealthy family, so she is proper and controlled. But, under that exterior, she’s compassionate and spirited. She longs to be free to do as she pleases, but is hesitant for fear of disappointing her family and ruining people’s opinions of her.
Likes: Roses, violets, mirrors, painting, music, gossip
Dislikes: Fighting (unless for sport), drunkards, street vendors, brash or raucous persons, those who insult her personality or beauty
Strengths: Healing
Weaknesses: Her compassion, and her distain for harming the innocent, and she's a bit clumsy
Talents: archery, fencing, piano, violin, cello, painting, sketching, etc.
Brief History: Will lived with her parents for some time, in their generously sized home that sat in the center of a river village in Bristan. With Will’s decent dowry, she had many suitors, all of which she rejected. Her mother, grew irritated with her, and arranged a marriage with another wealthy family’s eldest son. Although Will was stubbornly against the whole idea, she swallowed her pride (and disgust) and married the man when she was not fifteen and a day. Will grew used to her husband, whose name was Harold Dowd, even came to love him. But, quite suddenly, not a month after their first anniversary, Harold grew sick with influenza, and his addiction to opium certainly did not help him. Will tried to heal him, but fate was against her, and Harold died in a fitful sleep while Will wept by his bedside.
Will left Bristan, telling her family she would write them when she reached where she was headed. She traveled to the shore, and caught a boat to Thea. She stopped at various villages throughout her travels, and finally settled in a farming village, tending their sick and any wounded who wandered her way. She is well loved amongst the village folk. The elderly are kind to her, the children adore her, and every life she’s touched has brightened, at least for a while.
