(SCE) My Name Isn't Mud (open)

[Ryan Alexander]

Ryan was giving in to her wild side.  It was a side she'd worked hard to suppress, but in the place of a survival camp, it had fought to the surface.  She hadn't even really known she had a separate side to her like this.  She laughed and slathered mud on every inch of her skin to give her the appearance of being wilder.  Also, it had a cooling effect.  She smirked and looked around for plants to gather.  Or animals to kill for food.  Her wild side was somewhat animalistic, affecting her because of her background liking animals and growing up with them.  She laughed and jumped from tree to tree with glee before landing on the ground.  Then she realized she'd landed near someone.  And Ryan's automatic reaction was to hiss at them like a feral cat.  Or maybe a snake.
