● Height: 6'0

● Hair Color: Black
● Eye Color: Stormy Gray
● Physical Description: Sterling has a more rugged and worn down look, not all the pretty to look at. Her short black hair just barely brushes the back of her neck, and honestly it looks like it was hacked off with a kitchen knife. Her startling stormy gray eyes are constantly half lidded as if she were constantly tired. Her skin is very rough and has been beaten ruthlessly by the harsh sun and is now a dark tan color. Her heart shaped face almost constantly harbors a harsh sneer and a startling glint of hatred dances in her eyes. Being rather tall for her age, and taller then some men she can be rather intimidating. Her frame on the other hand is quite lanky and thin though the layer of hardened muscle which makes up for most of her weight, can easily be seen under her skin. Her hands are very calloused and scarred from a lifetime of outdoor work. Almost constantly her skin is smeared and covered in mud or dirt from when she's run and fallen. Sometimes she smears it on to keep the bugs and heat away.

● Likes: Animals, Hiking, Killing Infected, Reading, and Running.
● Dislikes: Infected, Being in large crowds, Commitment, Cowards, and Whining.
● Weapon most used: Crossbow with twelve arrows/Baseball Bat
● Personality: Oh how to describe dearest Sterling Grace... In all reality Sterling is nothing more then a cocky, stubborn, hot headed, selfish, unsure, and extremely impatient person. However most of her arrogance and 'holier then thou' act is only skin deep. Deep down she does have a heart though it is rather cold and hardened against the harshness of the world. The rest of her, however unfortunate it may be, is all to real. She has a fuse the size of a toothpick and a temper the size China. She is indeed very cocky, and extremely stubborn, once she makes up her mind you can't change it no matter how much you want too. Just like everyone though she is a person and therefore has a soft side and emotions, regardless of how much she wants to hide them. She loves children, so long as they aren't screaming spoiled brats, she would never let anything harm them if there was anything she could do to save them. She also loves animals and especially has a soft spot for dogs. Though at times she can seem extremely unreasonable, and sometimes she IS completely unreasonable, and irrational, and cocky, and sometimes just flat out mean and angry, she isn't all bad. And though she seems very confident, which she is in some respects, she still, deep down, like so many other people, hates herself.

● Parents: Rose and George
● Siblings: Quinn and Brendan
● Years of Schooling: 11
● Job held before outbreak: She never really had a job, but she did help her father hunt so they could have fresh meat and sell the furs.
● History: Sterling was born and raised in a country setting in a small yet cozy house her whole life. Her parents were big fans of tough love but they did love their three children. Sterling, being the oldest spent a good deal of her time dealing with her two siblings who often fought with her, this is where many of her scars came from. She spent a majority of her younger life as an only child until the age of 4 when her brother, Brendan was born. Brendan was quickly taught that you had to be tough and strong to survive with Sterling. Sterling and Brendan often got into the most ferocious of fist fights, clawing and punching until they were both bruised and bloody, they loved it. Quinn came last when Sterling was 7 and she was much quieter but still very tough in her own sense. Sometimes Sterling feels as if she's taught her siblings how to truly survive in the world, and in many ways she did. A lot of her middle school life Sterling was teased, but she ignored it, until someone beat up Brendan. Sterling didn't bat an eyelash when she broke that boys jaw. Ever since no one ever messed with Sterling or her siblings. While in high school she struggled with grades but managed to hold her own, this is when her father started to teach her to hunt. He taught her how to use the crossbow and knives. She soon discovered she had a talent for hunting and tracking and embraced it. She practiced every day until she was equal with her father in skill. She liked her life as it was, she was content, that was until the outbreak in 11th grade. When the outbreak happened she hid with her family in their house in the middle of the woods, thinking they were safe. They were honestly, they were completely safe, until her father went hunting and got himself infected. When he came back no one knew why he was sick, until it was to late, he bit Sterlings mother and Quinn and Brendan were in no shape to do what had to be done. Silent as ever she managed to kill them both quickly with her crossbow. She soon gathered her sister and brother and took off, they managed for awhile... Brendan and Quinn were attacked while Sterling was hunting. Brendan was supposed to take watch and he fell asleep, when Sterling came back there was barely anything left of her beloved siblings. Now she travels full of resentment and fury toward life.
