Whitney Langston Whitney spun around & headed to a closet. As she did the backpack strapped to her came into view. "Yeah, I have a bag." Seeing the look of embarrassment on Andy's face, she continued: "The straps matched my shirt, you were sort of distracted by our new roommate's....condition, I guess? And I'm...well, big. You missed it. It's ok." As she began to empty the bag of its contents into the closet, for once, she was glad for her larger size. It blocked the view so no one would see that her backpack containing all her remaining worldly belongings carried little more than another couple sets of outfits. As she emptied her bag, she saw a small collar pressed against the cloth. The small collar. It really would figure, she thought to herself, that the one memento I managed to bring along would be one that reminded her of the most traumatic moment. Well, before the whole "you're an orphan oh my god let's take you" moment, anyway. Tossing the bag into the bottom of the closet, she turned back to the group. "My name's Whitney." Qualities and Flaws posted:Looks like an Amazon [+2]: She'd be politely called "stocky" if she weren't so drat tall. When something's just out of reach, or you need to spook a smaller person into seeing things your way, Whitney's a good one to have on your side.

Whitney Langston She graciously accepted a couple cherries from Andy, then used her height to pick a couple juicier-looking ones from a bit higher up the tree to return the favor. "I used to be on the basketball team. I tried soccer & lacrosse, even field hockey once...always a goalkeeper, for obvious reasons. I never really got a chance to see if I enjoyed those sports at all...I just got stuck in front of the goal and got balls kicked or chucked at me the entire time, and if one didn't hit me I got yelled at for letting it in. Not a lot of fun there. In basketball they can't really make you camp out in front of one net the entire time, though, so that one I actually enjoyed. What about you? Or Mary? I uh, I don't think Joanna's really into group activities like that."

Whitney Langston Whitney hesitated before spitting the pits into the offered handkerchief. Wasn't the most sanitary thing in the world, but it was better than getting in trouble right from the start. She quietly kicked herself for eating the cherries in the first place without checking to see if that, too, would get her in trouble. As they stepped into the dining hall Whitney's gaze seemed to turn to a thousand-yard stare, and even that felt like not enough to see the other side of the room. She's so distracted by it that she almost misses Andy talking about a pickup basketball game. "Sure. I'd be down for that." I think Whitney'd take +2 Amazon on offense just because she's so big & -2 Afraid of her own size on defense because she doesn't want to use her size to box out or block shots or anything that'd be construed as aggressive, so in-game she'd come across as a bit of a one-trick pony (and maybe even a "too good to play defense" diva if the wrong sort of person is in the game).
