Personality: Cara is a fun-loving girl. She's spunky, smart, and a bit of a wise-ass. She loves a good party, and is something of a social butterfly, making many acquaintances in her new job as a bartender. After moving to Amsterdam, she managed to get rid of the angry and insecure side of herself, finally being able to accept herself and settle down with her beast. Now she has pretty much a symbiotic relationship with it, depending on her beast to warn her of dangers her human senses could not pick up on.
Becoming a suicide girl was a freeing experience for her, and although she’s still a bit bitter that she cannot work with kids, she drowns this out by taking daring photos and playing the role of outgoing and decadent bartender.
Having left her work in Amsterdam, she hopes to find work bartending in Boston again.
Time and experience has made her jokes crasser, but has also taught her the art of keeping her mouth shut and to quickly show submissiveness to her superiors. It doesn’t make her feel embarrassed or angry to do that anymore.
Cara can be a bit of a flirt, but she tries to never go home with anyone while hammered. The incident with Sean taught her that having a somewhat clear mind is always good. However, it also got her hooked on alphas, as only they can do the energy trick Sean pulled on her. It’s almost become a fetish.
She's fascinated with the Geisha women, and if it's bad weather outside, she snuggles up in her chair with a good book about them and some jasmin tea. She also enjoys mixing drinks, and practices juggling more than two bottles at a time along with other tricks whenever she’s in the mood for that.
She absolutely loathes insects and will squash any spider in sight.
Family: Michael Murray (father;dead), Jeannie Murray (mother;dead), Jack Murray (brother;alive)
History: Cara was born to Michael and Jeannie when their son, Jack, was 14 years old. Her childhood was typical, normal, and overall good, and she managed to juggle being popular with being good in school. However, after graduation she took a year off in order to backpack around Europe, before returning to start her studies. She got her grades in teaching and was a teacher for over a year in primary school. She loved teaching kids. The turning point came a late evening.
Cara had been out to dinner with her parents when her parents were suddenly shot down by a stranger on the way home. The stranger went after Cara next. She struggled, and it became apparent that he was an ex-boyfriend of hers. She hadn’t known he was a werewolf while dating him. Furious, the guy ended up partially shifting and clawed her up badly, before she managed to scare him off.
However, Cara had contracted lycanthropy and was suddenly flung into the life her brother’s been leading for so long. She had always been okay with her brother being a shifter, but seeing it from the outside and actually experiencing it are two different things, as Cara soon discovered. She went through a rough period, in which her attacker wasn’t merely killed by the pack, but her brother tortured him and the smell of blood caused Cara to change for the first time. Spurred by instincts, she ended up eating parts of her parents’ murderer.
Cara had a hard time adjusting to being a werewolf, and got into trouble, though never anything too life-threatening. She never managed to feel more than respect for Sean, the Ulfric and her brother’s friend. Her outlook on life did not get better when Cara was outed during the bombings, and lost her job as a teacher. Billy taught her how to be a bartender before he left town, and she ended up bartending at the Lion’s Den. Then Sean got thrown in jail and a new Ulfric came along.
Gia had not been Ulfric for long when Cara decided that enough was enough. She desperately needed a pause from the pack and her past. Packing her bags, she went on what was intended to be a three week vacation in Amsterdam. However, while she was there she fell in love with a local werewolf named Dieter. After a bit of shifter politics, she was allowed to join the Amsterdam pack, and was happier than she had been in a long time. After only a year, Dieter dumped her for someone prettier and stupider, and Cara found a friend in the lupa of the pack. By then, Cara had gotten a job as a bartender at one of the fanciest shifter clubs in the area, but her salary wasn’t much to shout hurrah for.
The lupa, Birgitta, was young for her position and also happened to be a suicide girl. When Cara showed her the tattoo on her hip and confessed she wanted evern more, Birgitta decided that Cara could make it as a Suicide Girl too. They took some pics and soon Cara was accepted. She took the name of Virginia Suicide, and she was soon a local success. With Birgitta and some other friends, she started making extra money on pics and appearing at different places. Her bartending salary skyrocketed when she started being something of an attraction at the club she worked for.
Cara enjoyed her life, and she worked pretty much all the days of the week, managing to save up a decent amount of money. After five years in Amsterdam, she felt pretty settled, but her life was turned upside down yet again when the Ulfric caught his lupa cheating with one of the submissives. He killed Birgitta in a fit of jealous rage, but not before finding out that Birgitta’s friends had helped her cover up the affair. Not about to risk getting a taste of the same, Cara decided it was time to skip town. She quit her job, took all her savings, and went to the airport. There, she called Jack and was informed that Sean was back and was Ulfric again. Then she phoned Sean and got her passage back to Boston and back to the pack cleared. Although feeling a bit sad about leaving Amsterdam, Cara was cheered by teh thought of seeing her brother and the old pack again. She had fallen out of touch with Jack three years previously and is looking forward to get to know him all over again.
Strengths: She has a way with kids, and knows how to make them listen to her almost without even trying. She also has an uncanny knack for remembering stuff. She knows when to back off and show throat. Well, mostly.
Weaknesses: She has a tendency to be very aloof to people she doesn’t like. She isn’t a great fighter, and will avoid it whenever she can. However, she will fight if she thinks she has an overwhelming chance of winning.
Home: staying at the Pack House for now
Other: Before she left Boston, Cara was very much bitchy, insecure and prone to fits of anger and depression, so most will remember her like that. She even nearly got into a fight with Alice while she was a brand new submissive. She’s much more settled and confident now, so those who knows her will probably see that change.
