Appearance:

Carol stands at five feet and ten inches. Her hair comes to the mid section of her back and is of a honey blonde shade. Naturally her hair is brown, but Carol prefers to colour it light. She believes it suits her face and complexion much greater then the darker shade that can make her skin look pale and dull.

She has blonde hair and emerald green shaded eyes, which complement her creamy but pale complexion. Carol has a fairly rounded face, which slightly squares at the jaw. She has a small and slim bridged nose, prominent high cheek bones, and heart shaped lips (the lower being typically wider then the upper).

When it comes to clothing, she will choose comfort over fashion any day. The only item of clothing that she swears by are her heels; she can’t stand to go without them. Carol often wears dark shades of clothing as she feels they compliment her figure however, they tend to make her skin tone much paler then it is.

Carol isn't always a tomboy, sure she likes a comfortable pair of jeans and a plaid shirt but isn't shy of showing a bit of skin. Carol likes to dress up if the occasion calls for it

She wears make-up to a minimum, sticking to neutral shades such as creams, browns and greys. She doesn't like heavy make-up, Carol is in her thirties not her teens and believes too much make-up can either make you look older then you are, or cheap. Neither of which she wants to be.

Personality:

Carol is hardworking, reliable, logical and highly intellectual. She has a strong mind and a strong work ethic. Carol is fiercely independent, when it comes to her personal life and dealing with personal issues she doesn’t require nor search for direction from others. She prides herself on keeping her own ‘issues’ to herself, which on some level makes her a hypocrite because when it comes to others problems she wants to hear all about them and won’t settle for anyone trying to cope alone when she knows she can be of assistance. Carol is a very empathetic toward her peers. She’s got a heart of gold, but can have a toughened exterior if necessary.

She is able to accomplish anything she puts her mind to and she won't give up until she has. She is perfectly suited to being on her own and doesn’t look to others for any means of support. She’s the type to just get her head down and deal with the situation at hand. She is not ideally a social butterfly like some but she is also not difficult to get along with. Carol is particularly bubbly when she needs to be and is always down for cracking jokes and making others laugh with her rather dashing sense of humour.

She has a knack for detail and sorting and organizing both information and objects. She tends to compartmentalize things in her own mind and to view the world through an analytical lens. As a result, Carol is rational, practical and adaptable. However, on the negative side, she has a tendency to fuss over little details and in some cases suffers from obsessions and compulsions. She doesn’t see these as flaws so much as ‘quirks’ because she believes that it’s the little things that separate her from being the same as others. She quite likes her quirks.

Intelligence, modesty and diplomacy enable she to get along well with most people. She can come across as quiet and somewhat coy at times, but she’s not a shy individual. She has a habit of assessing her peers and likes to be familiar with those around her before she puts herself forward. Carol has a semi sarcastic attitude at times, which on some level can be perceived negatively. She can assure you though, that she means no harm, it’s just the style of her sense of humour that some do not always get. But, with sarcasm aside, she does have a knack for making people laugh with her witty comments and her charming, ‘eccentric’ nature.

She can be critical of others and incredibly hard on herself at times. As a result, she can be relied on to keep her promises and fulfil her obligations, and she has little tolerance for those who cannot. Carol has an excellent memory and combined with an inability to let things go, she does sometimes bear grudges against those around her. As it goes, she isn’t the type of person to spit bullshit. If she doesn’t like you, you will know about it. It takes a lot for this woman to dislike you, she isn’t the type to just look at a person and know she won’t like them. Everyone gets one chance with Carol but if you blow it, she doesn’t give second chances. She easy to get along with and she’s inviting toward all kinds of people, but however easy going she can be, she’s not much of a forgiver.

Carol is clever and versatile; she often uses both of these qualities to her advantage which results in others taking an interest or warming to her quickly. She often finds that she can win people over by dazzling them with her charisma and generosity. She can be intimidating, and finds that weaker individuals feel obliged to let her be in charge because she’s very cool headed and seemingly always ready to face whatever may come her way. For this, she is often admired for being brave and somewhat daring at times because she never seems fazed by a situation.

She is very cool under pressure and thus great to have around in a crisis. Oddly enough, she actually deals better with adverse circumstances than minor irritations. She has a strong desire to serve a good cause, and for this she can labour intensively, even for little reward. She has a kind nature, and she’s tolerant but like everyone else she also has a cut off point where she will reach her limit.

History:

Carol Danvers was born to Joseph and Marie Danvers. She grew up as the oldest child of three in a traditional Boston home, with a contractor father, Joseph who believed in the merits of hard work. When he built their Cape Cod summer home, Carol insisted on working as hard as her two younger brothers; Joseph and Steven, trying to make equal in her father's eyes. A voracious reader, she dreamed of becoming an astronaut and traveling to distant planets; as a teen she even hitchhiked to Cape Canaveral to view a launch there. Her father however, could not accept women as men's equals, and when financial troubles meant he could only send one child to college, he chose middle child Steve despite Carol's superior grades. Carol graduated from high school first in her class and took a sales job. She turned 18 just a few months later, and the following day she turned her back on her father and joined the Air Force, intending to be a pilot and to get a college degree via the military. Her brother Steve's death in military action would eventually draw Carol back to her family, but she still never felt truly accepted by her father.

Carol was a top student at the Air Force Academy and enjoyed a rapid career advancement rising to the rank of Major. Because of her stellar performance, superb combat skills and natural intellect, Carol was recruited into the intelligence field. She ended up serving with the C.I.A and trained as a spy.

NASA eventually requested her for an open position as head of security which she accepted, resigning from the Air Force bumping her to full Colonel at retirement. Becoming the youngest security captain in NASA's history, she became embroiled in the schemes of the interstellar alien Kree Empire. It was during this time that she met and eventually befriended the Kree soldier Mar-Vell whose enemies would soon be responsible for her future transformation. The next few months were disastrous as she was kidnapped by the alien robotic intelligence Cyberex and then hospitalized by a controlled Iron Man who attacked the Cape. The alien Yon-Rogg then kidnapped her while she was still concussed and eventually battled Mar-Vell. During this battle, Carol was knocked into a damaged Kree Psyche-Magnitron, a powerful device which could turn imagination into reality. Carol's genetic structure was altered effectively making her a half-Kree superhuman. She was unaware of this change for months.

Her successful career at NASA was severely damaged because of these recent events. Due to her continued inability to control superhuman incursions, she was removed and reassigned to a minor NASA facility near Chicago. Even this did not last as Carol was demoted to a mere security guard and returned to Cape Canaveral after the superhuman Nitro had raided the base. Due to her plummeting career, she resigned from NASA.

Now living off an accumulated salary, Carol wrote an angry tell-all expose on NASA, burning many bridges. The best selling book briefly made Carol a celebrity and she began working as an editor for many national magazines like Rolling Stone.
