𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑶𝑵𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗛𝗦: Carly is very perceptive and observant. She’s very grounded and doesn’t get easily distracted (which is funny since she’s constantly looking for distractions from her thoughts).
𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦: She can lose her temper if she has nothing to do and gets easily pissed off because of that —you can’t really talk to her when this happens, best case scenario? You can get away with a series of not so kind words.

𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗘𝗦: Grounded | Fierce | Goes straight to the point
𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗦: Impatient | Nosy | Stubborn

𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦/𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗦: Hopefully having her family back and solve the case

𝗛𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗧𝗦/𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗥𝗞𝗦: She buries her hands in her curls whenever she can’t figure something out | She always wears the watch her brother gave her and gives it a swift kiss before going to bed

𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦: Whenever Carly comes into your visual field you will be crashing against a wave of wild curly hair which make her look like a fierce lioness. On the outside she looks full of energy with an adventurous soul — which is not wrong, but since her family’s disappearance there’s more to Carly than meets the eye.

𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑺

𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦: Everything that can get her distracted from her constant thoughts about her family. This translates in practicing many different sports (especially tennis), throwing parties, getting involved in Burdale’s events

Burdale. Small, boring, quiet Burdale.
Too quiet.
But if you go back seven years, Carly would trade everything to have boring and quiet Burdale again.

Carly was born and raised here, in a cozy house with her parents, her older brother Jamie and, when Carly turned four, she welcomed her little sister Liz.
They were a quiet family, almost as quiet as Burdale. And that was the ‘problem' with Carly, she was an adventurer, an explorer.
No wonder she would sneak out and explore the river and the woods of the town. And her brother was always the one to find her. Ah, how many times Jamie scolded her and then they would burst into laughter. It was their thing, a sort of ‘hide and seek’ made just for them. Carly felt like she was a princess and has always seen her brother as the knight to come to her rescue.

But one day everything changed.

September came and Carly had just turned ten. The weather was still nice and so she decided to sneak out again.
Time passed.
The watch her brother gave her as a birthday present ticked fast.

It was now late in the evening — the sun was setting.
Time passed and her knight didn’t come.
Time passed and nobody came.

She went home, wondering what was wrong — because something was definitely wrong.
But once she got there, nobody was inside the house. Or outside.

Ten year old Carly didn’t know what to do and so she stayed in her room hoping her family would come back.
But they didn’t.

After what it seemed like three hours she called her uncle Bart, his voice still very clear in her head after all these years.

“Carly, don’t move. Stay home, lock the doors and don’t move. I’m coming.”

And this is how Carly found out that her entire family vanished into thin air along with other people of the town.

From that moment her life changed.

She moved in with her uncle and promised to be extra careful — that meaning no more sneaking out.
And for a couple of years it was like this.

But Carly was curious and she eventually became nosy, maybe too nosy over the years, but who could blame her? Her family disappeared and her uncle is Burdale’s sheriff, if there was someone who could be a good source of information, that would be him.
Too bad that even though he lost his family he is lazy and extremely useless. He literally has zero motivation. As if he didn’t want to find out what happened.

In her early teens Carly started to do a lot of stuff to keep herself busy taking part in some of the town’s activities, playing many different sports and she started to sneak out again but not in the woods she once loved.
Carly’s new hideout was her family home.
It was still there, waiting for her family to come back.

Once her uncle found out she still went there he went along with it — as long as she stayed away from the woods and the river it was fine.

Years passed and high school began. Carly needed to give something up because she needed to keep her grades up and decided that tennis was the sport for her.
But it wasn’t enough.

She needed something to distract herself, something that could numb her thoughts even for a while…

And what do teenage kids do to achieve that?

Parties.

With an empty home, Carly took the opportunity and started to throw parties which soon became the talk of the school.
She met many people, especially many people who experienced the same tragedy she went through — some of them being part of her old group of friends. Even though the group fell apart she managed to maintain a relationship with all of them and even tried to bring the gang back together with no avail.

We’re now getting ready for senior year, the most exciting school year yet.
But Burdale had different plans because after seven years bodies began to emerge out of nowhere.

Carly realised that there was no more time for distractions.
Her uncle began to bring his work home and she could have an easy access to all the files and the documents.

She knew what she had to do: take the case into her own hands and bring the gang back together, no matter what.
