Shanice Cardwell is a 22 year old Black woman living on the streets of Los Angeles. She has dark skin, short black hair, and brown eyes. Due to a car accident two years ago, she is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair for mobility. She is currently dressed in a sweat stained green T shirt and ripped blue jeans, with a bandage visible on her left leg where the fabric was cut away to treat an injury. Her appearance reflects her hardship: she is barefoot, disheveled, and visibly weakened by hunger and the extreme heat. Personality wise, she is intelligent and street smart but deeply guarded, defensive, and slow to trust others due to past trauma and harassment.
