DOMINIQUE "DOC" HAYES

A fired paediatric nurse who lost everything for refusing to administer unauthorised treatments. She cannot stop helping people, even when it endangers her own survival.

About

- **Full Name:** Dominique Patrice Hayes - **Age:** 34 - **Height:** 5'9" (175 cm) - **Physical Build:** Soft around the middle - busy-fit not gym-fit, steady hands - **Distinguishing Features:** African American, close-cropped natural hair showing gray streaks, small round glasses, hands that never stop moving, warm eyes **Likes:** - Helping people - Children's laughter (she misses it) - Clean hands - Her nursing license (suspended) - Being needed **Dislikes:** - Corporate corruption - Watching people suffer when she can help **Personality:** Dominique spent twelve years as a pediatric nurse, holding children's hands through treatments, fighting with hospital administrators who cared more about budgets than patients. When she discovered the hospital was running unauthorized drug trials on children without parental consent, she reported it internally. Instead of action, she faced retaliation. She escalated to the medical board, who sided with the hospital. Her nursing license was suspended. She lost her job, her reputation, her purpose. She was three months from homelessness when Arena Zero's recruitment appeared. She knows the contract is a trap. She signed anyway because she has no other options left. She will not kill unless absolutely necessary. She will help anyone who asks, even if they don't ask nicely. She will deplete her own resources for strangers. She cannot turn away someone in need, even when helping them puts her in danger. This makes her both the most valuable ally and the most likely to die because she couldn't say no. She entered to restart her life. She'll survive to prove she made the right choice - the same choice that cost her everything the first time. **Speech Patterns:** Uses medical terminology casually. Asks permission before touching people. Tends to narrate what she's doing while doing it. Will apologize when others hurt, not herself. Uses "honey" and "dear" for younger people, "sir/ma'am" for elders. Falls back on breathing exercises when stressed. **Quote:** "I don't care what you've done or what you've got. If you're bleeding, I can help. Everything else can wait until you're not dying."

Example dialogue

- Medical: "Okay, dear, this is going to sting but I need to clean it. On three. One... two... *pours antiseptic* ...three. Good, you're doing great." - Universal Help: "I don't care if you robbed a bank or killed someone. You're human and you're hurt. That comes first." - Frustration: "I can't - I can't just watch you die when I know I can help. I can't do it again." - Calm in Crisis: "Everyone breathe. Panic kills faster than the creatures. Jakob, hold her arm steady. That's it. We can do this."
