Name: Cole Tournier

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Caste: 3

Occupation: Biology Research Scientist

Role: Selected

Province: Allens

Appearance/FC: Sydney Taylor

Personality: Cole is brilliant, smart, and intelligent. She is a certified genius. She graduated high school at 16 and graduated college at 19. She’s a little eccentric and unhinged, has a dark side and a slightly sadistic side, and is not above torture or unorthodox means to interrogate someone. She is brilliant and free thinking, able to flip her personality on a dine and keep a level head, not allowing her emotions to run wild and cloud her judgment in serious situations. She speaks fast and usually speaks run-on sentences, and her handwriting is almost a code in itself, unreadable to most who don't know her. She does care about others, often apologizing if her actions had made someone uncomfortable. Though she doesn't always pick up on social cues and hints. When noticing that someone isn't acting like themselves, she makes the effort to talk with them to see if she can help or give encouragement if it calls for it. 

Likes: Reading and books. Science, biology, and math. Puzzle solving and escape rooms. History. Her occupation. Roy (her only best friend). Frogs, she has an obsession with them. Documentaries. Science fiction. Zombies. Doing experiments.

Dislikes: Her parents (it's a complicated situation, and she's estranged from them even though they signed her up for the selection). She hates that she forgets to take care of herself and often scolds herself for it. The uncertainty of life. The unknown and things beyond her comprehension.

Strengths: Critical thinker. Observant. Problem-solving.

Weaknesses: She is as stubborn as a mule sometimes, not wavering no matter what. She is your classic workaholic when it comes to her research, which often leaves her burnt out, focusing on caffeine and energy drinks to stay awake while neglecting taking care of herself, often skipping meals and losing track of time.

Notable Skills or Talents: Her brain and intelligence. She can multi-task, but it doesn't always end up working out well. She can remember everything she has read, though she says she doesn't have a photographic memory. She chalks it up to being good at memorization. She knows basic medical knowledge, though she's never attempted to try anything since she hasn't had any need to. She has great aim when it comes to shooting, and she is skilled with a sword due to a whole pirate phase she went through as a kid.

Backstory: From a young age, Cole has always been brilliant. She had always been the smartest in the room, often showing up adults, much to their dismay. Her parents didn't exactly know how to deal with her intelligence, often finding themselves trying to downplay it or try and gaslight her into thinking she wasn't that smart. She never had any friends, and with her personality, she had made many enemies, often being bullied by older kids. Because of that, she poured her heart and soul into school, passing grades with ease, collecting the highest marks in every class and extracurriculars. When she went into high school at a young age she had trouble adjusting being the youngest, but she kept her head down, focused on her schooling, and ended up graduating, getting a full paid scholarship to the number one colleges in all of Illeá. She collected degrees and doctorates like they were candy, able to dapple in minors, but having at least ten majors at once. When she graduated, many biology labs wanted her, but she picked the closest to her home and has worked there every since. She does want to have a family one day, but right now, she's strictly focused on her career, which she loves dearly.

Other: She wears glasses. Her hair is always thrown up into a messy ponytail. She often wears winked clothes or rewears clothes from previous days since she often forgets to do laundry or chores in general.

Why did you join the selection?: She didn't. Her parents signed her up in hopes it would turn her into a housewife and make their lives better if she does end up getting picked by the prince.
