Suzie Doorman was born on 23 August 1897. Her father was a British carpenter and locksmith whereas her mother was an immigrant from Spain who had worked as a teacher. Because her parents frequently travelled around Europe, Suzie was never in one place for too long. She learned numerous cultures and three languages, getting an open mind (despite her attitude), and learned how to be independent on her own since her parents often werent around for her.

From a young age people already knew Suzie was going to be a problem, as she was very rebellious against the establishment, and tougher than she seemed. Sometimes she would go out into the woods and explore or hunt things, and when she was a teenager she would engage in some protests for various things...womens rights, higher pay for workers, just whatever was being protested if she agreed with it and came accross it. She found it pretty fun and fulfilling. Her cynical attitude didnt gain her many favors in school, though.

When the Great War broke out, Suzie and her family were living in Norway, but moved back to the United Kingdom. Suzie thought the idea of going to war was a little thrilling, honestly. She wanted to fight, wanted to be of use, but unfortunately the British Army did not allow women to fight in combat (also Suzie wasnt an adult yet when the war broke out) so her father fought in the war instead. Begrudgingly, Suzie had to become a nurse to help wounded troops after they faced the horrors on the frontline. Suzies mother Nora also took on this job. Neither of them wanted to do this - both were confident enough that they felt they could be more use on the frontlines, but their gender forced them into this job they didnt really want. Most of the time Suzie and Nora didnt even see eachother when they were at work, often being stationed in different places, which further added to Suzies independence.
Although Suzie wasnt fond of her job, which made her more annoyed and angsty the longer she had to do it, she wasnt stupid. She knew slacking off wouldnt get her anywhere. If she didnt put her full effort into this, she would never get any respect and would no longer be able to help in the ways she wanted to. She had been around long enough to know rebellion usually paired with punishment...to her chagrin. So as the war dragged on, she did what was assigned, even if she had little real empathy and would much rather be fighting alongside the troops rather than bandaging them up. With what little free time she had, Suzie tried to appeal for more womens rights...but with the war ongoing nobody was really listening. So unfortunately for her, shed just have to suck it up and conform. But she knows this isnt right...and one day in the future, women will be able to fight for what they believe in.

Her current assignment is being stationed on this hospital ship, the HMHS Britannic, as it goes to pick up wounded troops from the Gallipolli campaign. Another boring task she isnt looking forward to. Nothing interesting ever happens to her as a nurse, besides the rare moments she gets an unusual injury. For her this would just be another week spent bandaging, cleaning and administering painkillers to those in need. So to say she is a bit disillusioned to why she is even doing this would be an understatement. Hopefully something interesting happens aboard that can get her spirits back up to motivate her!
