Your name: Karin
Best method of contact: PM or Plurk (finalprogramme)
Character’s name: Susan Helitston
Canon: Discworld
Classification: Townsperson

AU information: Susan is in her late twenties, with a mass of curly prematurely grey hair, tall and thin, ice-blue eyes. She sounds rather posh; even though she speaks a number of languages and African dialects quite well, she's never lost her crisp upper-class accent. Her family has distant links to the British aristocracy; she went to Cambridge and took a first in history, and then promptly signed up with an NGO that was providing education in sub-Saharan Africa. Underestimate her at your peril; she once chased away a notorious human-eating lion with nothing more than a piece of rebar and a burning torch.

She has been working for the last five years as a schoolteacher with the NGO, and happened to be in Zanzibar en route to a conference when the Lurg started to spread. Taking charge and organizing people is hard-wired into Susan's nature, and she focused her efforts on the young people of the island, setting up a one-room schoolhouse and giving them some routine in their lives. She also helped set up a childcare collective with a few of the younger men and women.

She is efficient, no-nonsense, and very good with children; she doesn't coddle them so much as she treats them like inconveniently small adults, taking their problems seriously and giving them direct advice and information. She's generally more patient with people if they're under thirteen; snotty teenagers will be told to pull up their socks and stop bitching; adults who get in her way will be told when and where to step off in no uncertain terms. Some parents don't really like her much; they think she's bossy and they resent being told that they're managing their children incorrectly. Others think she's the greatest thing ever to happen to their youngsters.

Inventory:
Laptop computer and relevant accessories, including a printer (she guards her remaining paper closely).
Smartphone with photos, music, etc; all the usual.
A Leatherman multi-tool, well-used, and a whetstone.
Clothes: a broad-brimmed sunhat, a few loose-fitting cotton/linen blouses, lightweight trousers and shorts, underwear, sensible boots, a pair of sandals, two long linen scarves, an old military jacket.
Toiletries: toothbrush, hairbrush, hairpins.
A jealously guarded tin of violet candies.
Swiss chronograph wristwatch, manual wind, quite old and a bit large for a woman's wrist (it was her father's, a going-away present).
A necklace with a tiny locket that she never takes off; inside are pictures of her parents.
Passport and other legal paperwork.
