Main Character:

Name: Shannon Redding
Age: 27
H: 5'11"
W: 142
Type: ESFP

Hometown: Grew up in Fort Collins, CO (Tennyson Heights) and still lives near there. She spends time in Colorado Springs at the USOC Training Center.

Degree: BS in Biology from Colorado State University (Biological Science)

Job: She has had a series of part time jobs, most recently at the Barnes and Noble near Boardwalk Plaza.

About Shannon: Shannon is a competitive bicyclist. She rode a lot in high school, but got serious when she went to college, joining the Rams team in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Cycling Conference. She used to compete in various road events, but has fallen in love with track cycling, focusing her attention on training for the Team and Individual Pursuit events. She played basketball in high school, and also enjoys swimming, rafting, and rock climbing.

Shannon likes to spend a lot of time with her friends and team mates. She goes out frequently, but never breaks her "two drink rule", and never drinks when training hard leading up to an event. She was a solid B- student... never excelling, but getting lots of help from her friends, and keeping a disciplined study schedule.

She is putting off looking for a career. After her break out performance at last year's US Championships (she placed 2nd in the Women's Individual Pursuit, and her team placed 3rd) she is making a run at the US team for World's, with the ultimate goal of making it to the Olympics.

Supporting Character:

Name: Janet "Jana" Phillips
Age: 26 (10/13/1983)
H: 5'8"
W: 145
Type: INTP

Hometown: Fort Collins, CO

Degree: Double Major, BS in Business Management and in Psychology.

Job: Jana works as a Human Resources Manager at Riley and Whitman, Inc., a local manufacturing business.

About Jana: Jana is something of a "Renaissance Woman", with interests all over the map. She tends to keep to herself, and a small, comfortable circle of friends. While she is passionate, and has a bit of a temper, she tends to make decisions rationally. She had considered another degree in Philosophy, but gave it up when she realized that it wouldn't get her anything substantial.

Jana is slow to make friends, but loving and loyal to the ones she has. She enjoys social settings, but is slow to make conversation, preferring to watch what is happening around her. She is drawn to people who are different from her, being fascinated by learning all she can from them.

She has a lot of specific beliefs about the world and human beings that she acts on in her daily life. This exhibits itself as behaviors that some refer to as "quirks". She is not offended by that label, but loves to discuss her ideas with those who she feels somewhat close to.

Others:

Julia Houk: ISTJ. Bicyclist who was a team mate of Shannon's in college. Now a training buddy. Used to be room mates as well, sharing an apartment, but that ended when Julia moved in with her fiance, Ron, just over a year ago (now married). Part of the cluster that Shannon spends a lot of time with.

Robert Redding: Shannon refers to her older brother as "Bobby", a childhood nickname, and he hates it. Robert has always been protective of her, and looked out for her even when she might not have realized it. He loves her very much, and is very aware of it now that their parents are gone. He lost a very good job about a month ago when the company he was working for closed. He has never been married and currently unemployed.

Angela Bakerson Reiner: Angela was Shannon's best friend in high school. She was a casual athlete, much more focused on academics. Helped Shannon through more than one class. Once they enrolled at CSU she and Shannon started to drift apart. They occasionally get together to catch up, but they aren't as close as they once were.

Sarah Bakerson: Angela's baby sister. Mark dated her for a while, but things went poorly.

Coach Scott Pamplin: "Coach" was the head of the Rams cycling teams (Men's and Women's) when Shannon was in college. He is very protective of his girls, and has been helping Shannon while she trains at home.

Raymond Redding: Shannon's uncle, her father's older brother. Raymond lives in Denver, and has worked for the same print shop for 16 years. He was in Shannon's life from time to time, especially holidays and family birthdays. He would occasionally get Broncos tickets from the owner of the print shop where he works and invite them down to Denver for the game.

Jerry Kline: A former study buddy of Shannon's, he has held various jobs in Fort Collins since graduating, but hasn't settled into anything solid. Jerry is also big on dating and low on commitment. He is currently seeing Kris Collins, but they tend to spend as much time arguing as they do getting along.

Kris Collins: Kris is Jerry's girlfriend. She has been spending some time in Shannon's circle of friends, but is a new addition.

Traci Patton: Traci is an old friend of Jerry's. She was part of the original clique in college that centered on Shannon, Julia, Jerry, and Traci. People come and people go, but they were at the core. Traci seems to know everyone and has an impressive job that takes up more and more of her time.

Tim Patton: Tim is Traci's husband. He was brought into the circle by Traci, but has been around for years. Tim is spending less time hanging out because of other responsibilities.
