Description 

The Insane One
Rasp was born to unknown parents in Stockholm, Sweden in 1881. Rasp is a very short white woman. She has scars on her right cheek and her throat, very pale skin, extremely light green eyes and white hair. She used to have brown hair but it suddenly turned white over time. Rasp did also dye her hair black for a while but stopped after going insane.

She could be considered being somewhat stupid with her behavior but she is simply not used to being around people and doesn't quite understand how to behave. She talks in third person, can be happy one second and the next really mad, most of the time Saffron is talking very fast, being a little menace and making jokes. She's like a stick of dynamite, ready to explode at any second.

She used to be quite dumb and childish but after going insane Rasp turned incredibly quiet and reserved, her temper is still quite bad and she could turn aggressive within seconds but at least she's somewhat smarter now and unable to speak after an incident, her only communication being through a notebook.

Early Life 

The Orphanage
Rasp doesn't have many memories from her childhood other than living in an orphan home under the floorboards and having a little brother at one point. She wasn't allowed to go outside or make friends which is the reason why she's a bit odd. When she turned 18 the orphanage was burned down and the people who did it took Rasp in. The group did crime together and treated Rasp like a little sibling. But in July, 1903 the group took a boat to New Alexandria and abandoned Rasp there. Rasp still has no idea why they left her here. But if they ever return Rasp has a gift for them, involving taking kneecaps.

The reason Rasp is so obsessed with kneecaps is because in the orphanage she grew up in, the children would be punished by the caretakers that would hit them on the kneecaps till they got all bloody, scarred and unable to walk properly. Rasp always covers her knees with bandages now. The scar on her cheek is caused from a knife being repeatedly cut through her cheek, it was also a form of punishment by the orphanage when her knees were too badly hurt. Rasp always tries to cover her face, not wanting to see the scars on her face and remember the dark memories of her childhood. Which is why today you most likely will only find Rasp with some sort of mask on.

Being abandoned, 1903
Rasp was abandoned in New Alexandria in July 1903. Since then she's met many people and befriended a handful too. Including The Leone Family whom she's quite close with. She's very attached to her friends and will do anything for them. She also does still commit crimes, except in Saint Denis since her friends told her not to do anything there. One particular person Rasp met is Luca Santino whom she formed a very strong bond with very fast. Rasp sees Luca as a big brother and would take a hundred kneecaps for him. She's very attached to him.

Rasp ended up being adopted by Luca's mother in late August. Suddenly Rasp gained a bunch of new family members and she couldn't be happier. Rasp also made friends with another gang, The Cards who also take care of Rasp and make her feel cared for. She really likes the members of The Cards and tends to become very excited when they're around.

In the end Rasp joined The Cards, and her brother Luca Santino joined shortly after her too. Rasp is very close with The Cards and she loves them very dearly, she'll do anything for them. Just like how she'll do anything to make sure Luca is well and safe. And now they've both joined the same gang, The Cards. Rasp finally feels wanted and needed by people she calls family. And Rasp does anything for the family. Especially The Cards who have shown her kindness and love like never before.

In September, 1903, most of the Cards moved away. Rasp stayed though and was told it was the sheriff's office fault they left. She received a letter from her big brother Luca that he had to move away, and it caused an extreme reaction in Rasp . Not only did she get that letter from her big brother but "D" also came and gave a final goodbye before moving away with the others. Rasp received multiple things from "D" including her customized sawn-off, customized cattleman, customized Springfield rifle believed to be stolen from Henriette Fjelholl, an already paid for train ticket, Shawn Hurst's badge and her primary horse Lyssa. Due to The Cards having to move away and them telling Rasp that it's the sheriff's office's fault, it made something snap inside of Rasp . She's never been the same since. But the one thing she knows is that she'll forever be a card no matter what and that she promised to "give them hell", and she will.

In late October, 1903, after Morty Detwiler pretended to be a man named "Roy" and acting like Rasp 's friend she lost all trust in people when she found out he was simply pretending. She no longer trusts anyone except her family (The Cards) and her adoptive family (The Santino's). She's gone so far off the deep end there might not be any part of her left worth saving. There's only one person she refuses to hurt, Russell Turner, the one man in state still being kind to her. But as of lately she doesn't know if she can trust anybody's kindness anymore, maybe not even Russi. She's alone, afraid, angry and feels betrayed by all deputies and marshal's, maybe even by the whole state of New Alexandria. Rasp only feels like she has one purpose left at this point, to kill all liars.

Rasp eventually went insane in November 1903 after feeling like nobody cared for her, that nobody wanted her nor wanted to be with her. So she left and disappeared into the mountains. She stopped speaking so much and changed her behaviour. Rasp even stole books from the Saint Denis library before running away so she could practice her reading and writing. Her language slowly started getting better until she somewhat started sounding like a normal person. Even stopped talking in third person. Whoever the old childish and dumb Rasp was is gone, and the new Rasp is unknown territory.

In December 1903, Rasp joined a new gang called the New Austin Cowboys. She was invited by an old friend of hers, J. She’d lost all hope in The Cards returning and joined J without much convincing. Rasp just doesn’t wanna be all alone and insane. She just hopes that J won’t abandon her like the rest. So Rasp took her horses, her belongings and everything else she owned and moved out west. Rasp also tortured her first victim, Emaline Ravenhill at the end of December, during Christmas and a few days before as well. Rasp couldn't handle "Saffron" screaming for blood in her head anymore so she found someone to get blood from. So you'll most likely find Rasp in Armadillo following the end of 1903.

Present Life 

Who is Rasp?, 1904
Rasp's start to 1904 was nothing. She was comatose basically all of January after having been shot down running from a store robbery she did right before Christmas 1903. Rasp woke up right at the end of January, on the 29th. Hysterical, confused and scared learning that she could no longer speak. She was given a notebook to write in.

She was held in Sisika for her crimes until February 13th, after that she roamed about Annesburg and Van Horn, settling in a camp she didn't know was occupied. She met new friends in that camp, criminal friends.

Rasp decided to rebrand herself after becoming mute and getting sort of used to it. So at the bend of February she threw away all colors, any relation to Saffron and her past lives. Got new and different clothes. Just keeping her horses and weaponry the same. Rasp is tired of being recognized by dumb deputies and she now hopes she won't be so easily recognizable for a little while at least. She also claimed a huge camp with the help of her new questionable friends, up in Tall Trees. She hides away there and slaughters animals and people for their blood. Wearing mostly black and white, frequenting Thieves Landing and the Van Horn area.

Even if she's no longer part of The Cards or The New Austin Cowboys, she still carries the card and knife given to her when she joined The Cards. And she still wears the blood red sash given to her when she joined The New Austin Cowboys. Not wanting to forget about either of the groups.

Rasp made a lot of new friends in February and March, including a man called "Chaos" who basically hired her as a hitman in exchange for giving her information, blood and treating her if she gets hurt. Rasp also met Freya Greyfield whom she sees as a friend, someone who let Rasp in and takes care of her. Rasp also met some old friends like Lou LeBlanc, Orlando Ramos and Dell Hallock that she hasn't seen in a while. Keeping her P.O. open for them all, having a lot of sketchy friends has helped her many times and she doesn't plan on breaking ties with any of them. She enjoys having people around her to work with.

In March she decided to go back to her more rugged clothing since her white and black with a white horse stuck out too much, so she sold the horse and changed her style fully once again. Back to her roots of rugged, torn clothes. It makes her feel more comfortable dressing like that so she doesn't mind. Living out in the woods gets your clothes dirty fast anyway.

Rasp helped start the gang "The Strays" with her newfound friends Freya Greyfield and Norman Harrington in March. Taking in strays as they come by. Rasp is one of the original members, founders of the gang. Having become closer with her new criminal friends and started seeing them as family in a way even though Rasp is incredibly unstable and unsure who she can trust these days. But The Strays became like a family to her, taking care of her and letting her be the psycho she is. They even help get her the blood she needs to keep the voices in her head at check.

Affiliations 

The Leone Family (1903-1903)
Rasp sort of by accident became close to multiple people in the Leone Family, now she's basically been adopted by them since they take care of her and make sure she's alright. She left them after joining The Cards. And with Luca leaving them to join The Cards as well she has no reason to be with them.

The Cards (1903-1904)
Rasp joined The Cards after becoming very close with most of them. Finally feeling wanted and needed by people. She feels very attached to all of them and will do anything for them. Even if basically all The Cards moved away and left her she still considers herself a card, or she used to before at least. Eventually she lost all hope that they’d return to her.

New Austin Cowboys (1903-1904)
Rasp was invited to join the New Austin Cowboys by their founder, Jett “J” Waltz who’s an old friend of hers. She hesitated to join at first but eventually joined him anyway, not wanting to be insane all alone. When Rasp woke up from her coma after becoming mute from her injuries, she left the N.A.C in a fit of rage. The rage wasn't directed towards the gang but rather at life, she just wanted to be alone so she left without letting anybody know.

The Strays (1904-Currently)
Rasp is one of the founding members of the gang, The Strays. She helped start it with two others at the beginning of March 1904, Freya Greyfield (the leader) and Norman Harrington. Rasp owns one of the camps the gang uses as well, she's a key member of them. Without Rasp the members of The Strays wouldn't have met.
