Abilities: Bobbi has an innate understanding of people's feelings and connecting with them through her empathy. Her receptive nature of people's feelings and her feeling for them attracts people to her, many fall in love with her (in some sort of way) because of it. When her emotions are high (they usually sway a lot) her eyes shift color, when she's sad they turn a dark green, when she's mad they're light green, almost yellow.
Physical Description: Bobbi is five feet, six inches tall and at a weight raging between 115 pounds and 128 pounds. Her frame is long and slender but shapely; she has an ample bust and wealthy hips. Her hair is a dark brown, nearly black, with softer browns and auburn tints for natural highlights. Her eyes are usually a hunter green but when her emotions flare they rapidly change hue, anywhere from a light key-lime green to a dark forest green. Her style of dress is traditional, conservative and modest; she only dresses provocative when Sarah has been involved in the arrangement of her clothing. One of Bobbi’s most distinct mannerisms, she often puts her hands in a certain pose; the fingertips of either hand touch at the top in the shape of a steeple, her thumbs at the bottom – creating a triangular shape.

Personality: Bobbi is feeling and empathy; in the grand scheme of things it’s the emotions that characterize her. She is the true definition of a compassionate and unconditionally loving person. She can’t see someone (or something, like animals) suffering or in trouble, it breaks her heart and she can’t help but to offer assistance. Her heart reaches out to everyone. For her friends she is the person they know they can cry to, who will hold them up when they’re weary and heavy with grief or worry. She offers comfort and a place to vent their problems, someone who will reassure and calm their spirit. Her sensitive nature makes decision making difficult, especially if it could hurt someone else. She is habitual in helping others and forgetting about herself, making herself both the sacrificial lamb and the martyr. She is often used by those who learn that she is so giving, she is yet to learn how to balance her kindness. Bobbi is a naturally intuitive person, at cost, she oft forgets to think her problems through, her emotions drive her to resolutions that sometimes aren’t the best. Bobbi lives in something of a fantasy world, her universal approach to life is obvious in her actions; she is idealistic about how she sees the world and it unfortunately isn’t how she wishes it to be – killing her aspirations. Her hypersensitivity usually works against her, she ends up absorbing the negativity of the people around her. Often afraid to speak up about her feelings, she suppresses most of her emotions when she’s insulted or someone is insensitive towards her. She can easily become depressed, hiding away in nature or the company of only her home and pets. Being isolated from the world disconnects her a bit from her constant philosophical and humanist nature, though, she soon feels dispassionate and empty.
History: Roberta Lindsay Walker was born in February 28 of 1983 in Carson City, Nevada to Robert and Lillian Walker. Roberta was the eldest of the two Walker girls; she had a younger sister Miriam, though Roberta called her by her middle name – Paulette. The Walker girls growing up were practically inseparable, they were only a year and a half apart so they were each other’s best friend, trusted confidant, and greatest ally. Although the girls were different they found comfort in each other’s trust. In 1998 Miriam was diagnosed with Leukemia (at 13), her battle with the disease was short lived as they found no matches within the family – at least not in time to save her. Doctor’s had feared checking Bobbi for a positive match because she was so young and they would be scared to actually go through with the surgery even if she was a perfect match. When her sister’s condition worsened and Bobbi pushed to be checked doctors went through with the process, the analyzes for her perfect match for her sister were only a few days late. At 16 Bobbi buried her best friend and sister, she was never the same again.
Bobbi found her only comfort in the silence of her room, she took to reading to keep herself and her mind from wandering. She picked up a collection of books that her sister had left neatly stacked in her room, books she had never gotten around to reading and so Bobbi picked them up. Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles were an escape for Bobbi, she found herself dreaming of having been able to help her sister evade death, she found herself sympathizing with the story and drawing herself away from reality. Bobbi was pulled from school and home schooled the rest of her high school years, applying for UNLV she moved to Vegas to pursue a career in administration. She got a part-time job working for the Nevada SPCA and now after graduation she has been slowly but surely moving up in the organization. She’s now in charge of operations for the whole of the SPCA in the state of Nevada.
Her social life was next to nothing until a temp, Sarah, came into work with them in the Operations department at the SPCA. They became friends of sorts and have since worked and “played” together. They got out to clubs and bars, Sarah does most of the partying while Bobbi is only there for the company. Although, Sarah and Bobbi are completely different and Sarah abuses their friendship Bobbi hasn’t found a way to abandon her friendship with Saran.
Example Roleplay: It had only been hours since her sister’s service, still clad in black Bobbi sat in her sister’s room the very center of the hospital-style bed. Her sister’s favorite teddy bear, the bear that she had won for Paulette at a water-gun game the fair a few years before, in her arms – the terry cloth bear still smelled of her sister. Her parents called for her from downstairs, she didn’t want to answer but at their second calling she stood from the bed with the bear in hand. The wrinkled sheets of her sister’s bed were smoothened out and the bear was placed on the bed, leaning back against the pillows. She stood in front of the mirror of her sister’s dresser; the smeared make-up on her face was cleaned as best she could before she went for the door. Beside the closet door stood a short stack of books, books whose spines were still smoothen, untouched. She picked up the first book from the top of the stack, Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, she read aloud. She looked over the cover before she continued out the door of her sister’s room. She didn’t bother responding to her mother, instead she went to her bedroom – a door down from Miriam’s room; Bobbi laid out on her bed and opened the book.
