[the biography]
Occupation: works on her family's farm with, well her family. She and her big
brother do most of the hard labour alongside their dad while their younger sister
likes to tag along.
Why were they on the plane?: she was coming back from a harvest showcase
to trade with farmers across the nation and represent her family and their farm.
Personality: hard-working and mature, Alaska is perhaps the more outspoken
one in the family who handles most of their business trades due to her determination
and resolve. Her siblings and her friends frequently come to her for advice or help in
solving their own personal problems, something she never objects to. She's brave and
reliable, completely honest to a fault, and if you need something done you can count on
her to do it. Both physically and mentally strong, she is very headstrong about doing
things on her own and likes to be independent meaning she can often bite off more than
she can chew in an effort to impress or take the brunt of something for someone else.
Alaska takes no issue with getting muddy or dirty and likes to much in and get the
job done, usually not resting until everything's completed in a manner that she's satisfied
with. She is also very stubborn and rarely will she give in if she's under the impression
that she's right which can often lead to tension between her and other people. Despite
this, however, she is known to be one of the more empathetic members of her friendship
circle, often putting the needs and feelings of others above her own especially in terms
of family.
Extras: speaks with a Southern American accent similar to the accents of people in
the southwestern Missouri and Oklahoma Ozarks. She also calls people things like
sugar[cube] and sweetpea as signs of affection, although more so when she needs
to comfort them.
Biography: Alaska has lived on her family's farm for her entire life, helping out
as much as she could from the day she could walk and talk. She was the second
child - the middle child - and by the time she was born she had an older brother
by four years. Michael fussed over her from the moment she was bought home
from the hospital, always reading her stories and taking her to visit the animals
in her stroller. As she grew up, he began taking her around the farm with him
while he completed his daily chores, teaching her how to do them and essentially
giving her a headstart when it came to understanding the life of a farmer. By the
time she was 10 they were thick as thieves, coming up with new quicker and more
effective ways to complete jobs around the farm, utilising teamwork and applying
their different skills. When Alaska was 11 - and Michael 15 - their little sister, Bailey
was born. Much like how Michael had fussed over Alaska, the two both fussed over
Bailey too (although slightly more so Alaska because Michael had far more chores
and responsibility than her at that age). The Johnsons are a tight-knit family, and
always have been - it'd take a hell of a lot to break them apart.
