Name: Tempest Bel
Age: 26

Appearance: Tempest is six foot five with pale skin. Her hair is brown and usually tied back into a ponytail. She has a two-toned birthmark that covers most of her face and green eyes. She usually wears cute clothes with buckles, oversized earrings, and heart-shaped sunglasses.
Personality: Tempest, despite her clothing, is an incredibly hard worker. She's dedicated to her studies and adheres to a strict work and reading schedule. She's very hard on herself and is ready to sacrifice anything to achieve her goals. She's often overworked, and tired, but fired up and ready to go.
Short History Tempest was never the kid who was supposed to go to med school. She grew up dirt poor. Food stamps, welfare checks. Her mom stole clothes from donation bins. Her grades were bad because she was usually doing odd jobs like babysitting or helping around the house. But starting high school, she decided she needed to leave this life behind. She needed a lot of money and time to do schoolwork. So, she joined a gang.

Maybe to most, that would feel like an over-exaggeration, but she didn't see another option. She had been working under the table most of her life. She didn't have a car. She didn't have interview clothes. What she had was a dream. So, she decided to run drugs. Nothing major, mostly prescription and the occasional bundle of marijuana. She knew it was illegal, but she told herself she would stop as soon as she graduated med school. It was temporary.

Maybe if she was a better person, she would have left sooner. One day, when she went to pick up a load, she saw the boss with a young girl. She was wailing, begging to be let go, apologizing for seeing what she shouldn't. The gunshot that followed was the loudest thing she had ever heard. She simply sent a text to her boss that she had to delay until tomorrow and left.

She still came back. She still needed the money. She still needs the money. She never left. But she promises that as soon as she graduates she will. As soon as she graduates.
Crime/Wrongdoing: Dealing drugs and witnessing the death of a young girl but not reporting.
