Appearance: Jodie is a serious-looking young woman, her brow nearly always in a worried frown. She's slightly to the taller side, but mostly towers above others because of her rigid pose and the way she looks at others, not really letting her true emotions show unless she truly trusts the people around her. Jodie has a long, wheat coloured hair that has a natural wave to it, and while down, it reaches all the way to her lower back. However, for the sake of keeping it out of her way, she often braids it and twists to a bun at her neck, held there with pins. Her clothes are neat and clean at all times, and she often wears men's clothing for the sake of practicality, but her feminine hips and the fullness of her chest makes it clear that she truly is a woman underneath.
Personality: Serious, stern, strong-willed, but Jodie knows how to be kind as well, especially with people who truly need her kindness, or have earned it. The weak and animals are those who see most of her kind smiles and soft spoken words, but she clearly struggles to trust strangers, especially men. Jodie isn't quick to anger, but if one manages to get her truly angry, she's slow to forgive, and rarely forgets. To her friends and family she's loyal, and she takes her vows seriously - to a point where it's a burden, as she simply won't be able to save everyone. She's addicted to nicotine, and gets even more irritable whenever she's unable to get tobacco leaves for one reason or another.
Background: Jodie Reis was born to a slightly older couple as their third child. Her older siblings didn't survive into adulthood, and so she was quite a coddled child. It got to a point where her parents wouldn't allow her to go play with other children in the fear of them somehow getting lost in the desert. Jodie ended up playing alone in their house, at the very edge of the town, having only the old guard dog as her friend.
Once she grew up old enough to finally put her foot down, Jodie moved into the city for several years to study to become a nurse first, and then went on to become a doctor. There was a certain strain in her relationship with her parents during those years, but eventually they, too, realised that they couldn't lock their daughter up - and she was truly doing something good, being the doctor.
There were some boyfriends, even a few girlfriends, but Jodie somehow didn't manage to keep a partner by her side. Instead, she put all her time and effort into her work, becoming quite an invaluable part of the hospital, being always ready to stay for longer, go visit the patients at home, even to the patients some might have deemed dangerous.
