Jocelyn Winters (often appearing online by the moniker Iceblade17) lives a fairly comfortable life as the 16 year old daughter of a pair of fairly rich, quite loving but very busy parents. Her grades are all pretty good but her real area of expertise is athletics, coming in easily as the best (and obviously fastest) sprinter in the entire school. Or at least she was before she was hospitalised for some fairly serious leg muscle damage following a sporting accident.
Suddenly bedridden, Jocelyn turned her aggressive tendencies to online gaming instead, something she was not surprised to learn that she was incredibly good at. Already ruthlessly competitive, the power of internet anonymity turned her from a merely obnoxious victor to an almost unbearable one, and an even worse loser.
Jocelyn sees herself as a Winner and anything that challenges this status as a threat. She believes that she's fully entitled to excel at everything she puts effort into regardless of prior experience and there is very little that she will not do in order to protect her ego if this turns out not to be the case.
Receiving an invitation to private alpha testing of one of the most widely anticipated games of the decade isn't actually something that comes as any surprise to her at all, in fact she suspects that it's only due to some kind of mailing error that she didn't get one much, much sooner. Obviously her reputation must precede her, who hasn't heard of the legendary Iceblade17?
Despite her injuries she's recovered to an extent that she is mobile (with crutches) but quite slow, and currently confined to the walls of St. Udir's Youth Hospital for observation and physical therapy following surgery. Technically she's been released to go home twice, but after re-wounding herself within a week both times the general consensus is that it's probably best to keep her inside until she's a bit more steady on her feet, regardless of any complaints she makes about it.
At least now she'll have something with which to occupy her time, right?
