Her experiences with the Slender Man started with a child in the primary school she was interning at, and escalated from there. She was placed in Witness Protection a number of times following her stalking after she found the body of the teacher of the class, first in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, then in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester. Despite being under police protection, she was taken, although in the days before, she had started showing flu-like symptoms and was taking antiviral medication. She was also subject to severe headaches when she looked at the Slender Man, as did many others.

About a month later, she was found, unconscious by the side of a road, back in Eastbourne. They came to the conclusion that it was the Antiviral medication: that the Slender Man was merely a symptom of the real problem: the slendersickness, a memetic virus, with all the different versions of the Slender Man being different strains. This was countered by her boyfriend, Simon, who had become increasingly involved with the Slender Man in her absence, being taken and killed by the Slender Man despite being on the antivirals.

She finally reached the conclusion that he was in fact a personification of chaos, that his constantly shifting nature and constant flouting of attempts to stop him was a manifestation of humanity's ultimate inability to comprehend or control the universe generally (think Lovecraft-esque existential nihilism), and following this whole break-the-cutie experience, she went on the run.

She's been on the run for a while now, and the way I see her, she's changed a lot.

(The following is how I would write her were I in charge of all your blogs! Feel free to interpret her differently.)

She now has a very nihilistic, fatalist worldview as a result of her experiences. She's willing to survive by any means neccesary, and will ally or betray anyone as long as it guarrantees her survival. She will kill, she will seduce, she will break any laws and screw over anyone. She will be using a fake name, and will switch between them often. Due to the "strain" of the Slender Man she was exposed to, she's unfamiliar with proxies or the idea of the Slender Man as anything other than a stalker-killer, and as an immediate threat, and knows little of the larger mythology. She also knows him primarily as "Daddy" (She wasn't exposed to the online Slender Man stuff until a long time after this whole thing started, and "Daddy" was what the kid called him) and may make reference to his being called "The Walking Willow", especially if the subject of Simon has come up recently. She uses her HTC Desire HD to take photos of the area around her a lot, whenever it's charged, because she gets headaches less when looking at a picture of the Slender Man than if she actually spots him.

She's smart, opportunistic, charismatic and deceptive, and any alliances she makes are ones of convenience. She is, however, very able to gain people's trust, especially guys; she's willing to befriend or seduce anyone if it suits her long term goals. She is easily panicked, however, and her haste to move when under pressure can undermine the longer game she'll play when she's calm. She's also not much of a fighter at all. She steals medication a lot, and if she goes without it she'll get sick fast, up to and including her airways closing up, all that nastiness, stuff where she'll need an epipen or she'll die. Also, the fallout from the death of her lover and her intense cynicism at the world has left her intensely emotionally apathetic, something she occasionally has trouble hiding, but which tends to invite suspicion. Also, she's sill distraught over Simon, and if he's brought up, she will avoid the topic as much as possible.

Also, no-one knows why the Slender Man returned her having taken her, but finding out is what's driving her, what with her survivor's guilt over Simon's death. I've got some ideas, but if anyone comes up with a good one, let me know.
