Description

Character for :icondcwastelands:

Name: 
Dr. Rook Magdalene Waltz
Age: 
 151, birth date February 10th, 1982.
Species: Angel
Rank: Virtue
Virtue: Humility
Weapon: A simple sword and shield.
Class: Therapist
Base: Psi

Personality: A real Southern Belle, Rook is incredibly polite and hospitable and she does her utmost not to swear. She is profoundly organised, but remains very adaptable, suiting her nicely to the ever changing profession of psychology. Rook is a deeply nonjudgmental person and will go out of her way to help everyone she can, as is the health practitioner's way, within reason of course; she is a secret-keeper by nature, and she holds people in extremely high regard, believing that everyone is capable of good things and positive improvement and change. She can be idealistic sometimes, but the reality of the wastes snaps her back with quite a bit of frequency.

Bio: Rook was an only child and spent a large majority of her life filling the void that was left in her quiet home with the hustle and bustle of friends and companions. This wasn't too difficult in the lively city of New Orleans, and she found many a party to spend time with in her days.
Though she was a bright girl and learned quickly, she had no real direction in life and stumbled into a psychology major because it seemed interesting  - after all, it's a lot easier to make friends if you know how they work! ...Right? Besides, she could learn where her parents fucked her up (Admin Note: This is actually a very common thought process for psychology majors)
Though her social circle was wide, she always accepted more into her life. Upon the completion of her undergraduate degree in psychology, Rook found herself a little lost. What the fuck was she going to do now?
So she kept in school for lack of a better, having caught an interest in clinical psychology later in her degree, and this is where she really found herself. She completed both a masters and a PhD. Enjoying what she did upon entering the field, Rook enjoyed the hands on experience as she worked with clients in both a counselling and therapeutic direction. The amorphous idea of the mind, ill, tired, and requiring assistance to function gave her an ever-changing field within which to play and to continue giving through. Little filled her with as much energy as seeing a devastatingly dysfunctional client improve, and so she focused heavily in the world of psychotic and personality disorders, though took on clientele from all walks of life and avenues of mental health. Be it a client who is neurotypical and just stressed (though uncommon), or one in the crippling throes of noninstitutionalized schizophrenia, she was not one to discriminate. The human condition was a magical thing to her. Having died on the surgical table after a car wreck, she fell for Lust in Daten long ago, climbing her way back up through the ranks over the years, and forming many close bonds with the members of the Abbey.
She tries to be a sort of pollyanna about the world as it is, having nearly died a second time during the fall of Daten, and she earnestly believes that the angels will succeed in their most profound challenge to date, but it has taken a toll on her. Though she works with Mantle on off-base therapeutic sessions, she doesn't have a tendency to care for herself and has become a bit of a nervous wreck, preferring to chroniclize her psychological condition on paper and attempt to work it out herself through psychoanalytic techniques. She has taken to working in close tandem with Longcoat, and the two have a very solid bond which can often feed in to the rumour mill as them being a couple. If you were to ask her about it, she would reply with a stare and a laugh, assuring you that "No, sugar, tha's jus ridiculous. Shouldden you be doin somethan other than gossipin, darlin?". 
She throws herself into teaching other Medic classes the ins and outs of psychological work, along with building the educational plans for the children in the bases, and she adores doing it. 

Chumhandle: cognitiveDissonance

Extras:
• She is 5'9.

• She is bisexual.

•  Can be squeamish with blood, much to Longcoat's dismay when he's trying to teach her.

• She always keeps fresh flowers and sweet tea well-stocked throughout Psi. Can't go on without some nice things. Besides, it cheers up the atmosphere a little.

• She and Longcoat frequently squabble about how to handle patients, and often take jabs at each others accents.

• Abso-fuckin-lutely has a Southern Lilt. No idea what that sounds like?

• Unashamedly a way for me to help practice learning information related to my degree - I am basically tricking myself in to studying by going "IT'S CHARACTER RESEARCH" which is about 700% more interesting than studying by default.
