Looks

Eyes: Bright brown, borderline hazel. They are oval shaped, almost almond but not quite there yet. She has high, arched eyebrows that are kept thin through meticulous care.
Hair: Although it has varied in length and colour over the years, Ghost has finally settled on should length pitch black hair.
Height: Ghost is average height, about 5' 4"
General Appearance: Ghost has the kind of appearance that one would normally find quite easy to remember in other circumstances. She is only average height, but appears much taller thanks to the fact that her legs appear quite long. In fact, if one were to look carefully it would seem as if most of Ghost was elongated, from her face (which ends in point at her chin) to her legs. Even her arms appear unnaturally long. Despite this, she doesn't seem gangly or awkward. Ghost takes great pride in her appearance, and is always well groomed when she goes out (although she's not sure why she bothers any more).
Dressing Style: Only one word really fits Ghost's style and that is practical. She rarely wears clothes that would get in the way of her ability to walk or run. Heels are a no go, since they are already torture devices that women put on their feet. If she must wear formal clothing, Ghost always picks slacks and a nice top. In addition, Ghost is never without her grey trench coat. It's tacky, the kind of thing that appears in old P.I. movies, but she's quite fond of it.

Personality

General Traits: Ghost is a no nonsense kinda person. She can't stand wasting time, and prefers to just get on with whatever the current course of action will be. That being said, she also likes being prepared for whatever is going to show up. Going in without a solid plan and knowledge of the situation makes Ghost more then a little apprehensive. She often breaks multiple laws in her line of work, but she thinks nothing of it. This is more then a little hypocritical (she thinks that anyone else who thinks themselves above the law deserves to be put down), but should anyone point it out to her, they will quickly meet the blunt end of Reaper.
Likes: Hunting Immortals, her guns (Scythe and Reaper), research
Dislikes: Loud people, Spicy food, People who think themselves above the law
Habits/Mannerisms: Ghost habitually polishes Scythe and Reaper when she feels out of place. She also will fidget with things when she feels less like Ghost and more like Cameron.
Strengths: Ghost is efficient. She finds the easiest, best way to do a job and proceeds cautiously. Because of things in her past, Ghost tends to work alone, and she's good at it. She's strong, both physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Weaknesses: While Ghost has gotten used to a lack of human interaction, she has what she deems "moments of weakness" where she goes soft and Cameron shines through. Although she'd be hard pressed to admit it, Ghost really does miss her family and friends. In addition, because she doesn't really try to make friends, her social skills are lacking more then a little. The only person she's had consistent interaction with is Mr. C.

History

Mother: Unknown
Father: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Background Story: No one quite knows when it is that Ghost started appearing in the stories of men. Some say that Ghost has been around for ages, that it's exactly what the name implies. Others think that Ghost isn't a name, but a title that's been passed down for centuries. All that's known is that for as long as Ghost has been around, it's been with a gun, and it's hunted with a vengeance unlike anything that story tellers have ever seen.

Stories of Ghost first appeared just after the Revolutionary War ended. Soldiers returned home telling tales of an angel dressed in grey who saved them from death. She gained titles such as "The Saving Angel" and the like. Over time these stories faded away, popping up again around the Civil War. People didn't really notice that it was the same girl as before, nor did they really bother to look. Both sides claimed the "Angel" as their own, when in truth she belonged to neither side. No one was quite sure how she chose her targets: one second she would be seen shooting a Union soldier, only to turn on the Confederate side minutes later.

Ghost was given that nickname for the first time in the period of peace between the Civil War and World War I. She was often seen skirting through ally ways, an old fashion flintlock musket in hand and a bayonet swaying from her hip. Once the First World War started, rumors started of an old revolutionary soldier whose spirit couldn't find rest. Ghost was more then happy to let those rumors perpetuate.

It wasn't until the 21st century started that Ghost changed her weapon of choice. She switched out her flintlock musket for two Colt M1911's, her bayonet for a comabt knife (an 8" Schrade with a custom made scabbard) and quill and parchment for a legitimate means of communication. She saw the purpose of keeping with the times, and so she tried her best to stay with trends, forgoing the useless things like 8 tracks and video games.

Ghost can't quite remember when it was that Mr C. came into contact with her. It was a steady means of income, something that she had been lacking in. Mr C would arrange for her to get supplies she needed in exchange for a few jobs done. It was a beneficial partnership, one that Ghost couldn't pass up. It also helped that he seemed to remember her, unlike others. She made a note to look into that later. There was something about that ability that made Ghost a little nervous. If he could counter the "illness", as Cameron called it, then there would be little or no need for Cameron to shield herself. Ghost would become a mere reminder of a past that could be put behind her. And the last thing Ghost wanted to do was give up without a fight.

[[For anyone who wants a better idea of what Ghost/Cameron actually looks like, look up Olivia Wilde from the new Tron Legacy coming out. She's not quite perfect, but the closest non-video game equivalent I can come up with, and her hair is the same. Her face is meh, could be a little pointier, but no complaints.

Voice wise, the voice that I hear when I play Ghost AS Ghost is like Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII, which can be found here. She's the one with pink hair, as is typical with anime/Japan XD]]
