Fred Burkle stood in the midst of the bustling Doubletree Lobby, her gaze darting around as if trying to make sense of a world that felt as alien to her as Pylea once had. There was a palpable sense of unease etched into her features, a remnant of the traumas she had endured in another realm.
Her mind involuntarily flickered back to her time in Pylea, where she had been thrust into the role of a fugitive slave, her very existence dictated by the whims of cruel overlords. Yet, despite the horrors she had faced, Fred had proven herself to be resourceful, managing to deactivate the shock collar that had once enslaved her. That Texan spirit had carried her through the darkest of times, leaving her with scars but also with a steely resolve.
As she ventured into this new dimension, Fred clung to the hope that her skills as a physicist would prove invaluable in the fight against the impending apocalypse. Though fear gnawed at the edges of her consciousness, she refused to let it consume her entirely.
"Oh, hi!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with a forced cheerfulness that barely concealed the turmoil within. Her Texan drawl lingered in her words, a reminder of the world she had left behind. "It’s very nice to meet you. I’m Fred. Winifred, but please call me Fred. My friends call me Fred."
Her hands fidgeted nervously, a silent testament to the chaos reigning within her. In this strange midwestern city, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, Fred found solace in the hope that perhaps here, she could carve out a new path, free from the shackles of her past.
