Biography: Carrie spent her childhood on a highly successful farm owned and operated by her parents and grandparents, situated not far from California's coast. Her father may have wanted a son to whom he could pass on his knowledge and ideals, but found himself realizing that he could teach his daughter the same lessons. Carrie quickly grew to appreciate the outdoors, spending much of her childhood as a girl scout, but also learned a great deal about how to maintain and repair farm equipment, as well as roadworthy vehicles when her father was called upon to fix a friend or acquaintance's malfunctioning daily driver. Carrie learned quickly the value of hard work and honest effort, seeing firsthand the difference between a dedicated farmer working a field and a lazy part-time hire more interested in a paycheck than the work they were doing.
Throughout her time in school, Carrie was always the one girl everyone else envied. In elementary school, it was because she always had a story to tell about a recent camping trip or visit to the beach. In middle school, it was the fact that she had a boater's license and could drive her family's boat, or a rented Jet-ski, without supervision. It was also the fact that Carrie often dove for shellfish. In high school, it was the fact that while everyone else was on some kind of diet trying to stay skinny and attractive, Carrie led a life active enough that she didn't need to think about it. Her friends constantly asked her for tips, but the 'popular girls' were positively green with jealousy that the boys they had their eye on were all trying to date Carrie instead. Ironically, Carrie was constantly frustrated by the reaction potential suitors had when they realized that the farmer not only owned the stereotypical shotgun, but was exceptionally protective of his only daughter, and ridiculously accurate with a load of double ought buck.
Before the end of her high school career though, Carrie would find herself fed up with the insanity that the Islamic State had begun spreading across the middle east and nearby continents and enlist in the armed forces. Carrie chose the Marine Corps and was deployed to Syria for her first tour. There, she served as a translator and assisted in the gathering of valuable intelligence in the field. She also participated in offensives against heavily dug in enemy positions in urban environments.
At the end of her time in Syria, Carrie was rotated back State-Side to serve as, among other things, a Drill Instructor at Paris Island. She participates in the training of the next class of Marines before being granted leave. The vacation she had planned for this period of time didn't go quite as planned......

Misc: Carrie is a target. Because she has fought against the Islamic State, particularly because she's a woman who did so, the terrorists want her dead and will go to great lengths to do so. She'd probably wind up entering the new world after they made an attempt on her life accompanied by the infamous phrase 'Allahu Ackbar'. Whether or not the attempt succeeds is entirely up to you.
