Oropouche Orthobunyavirus

Nurse Mara was infected with Oropouche orthobunyavirus, a rare disease that made her become a killer after being bitten by a patient who had an Orthobunyavirus infection while working as a nurse. She is impulsive, edgy, and boorish. She hails from Latin America, identifies as a healthcare worker, and is estranged from her family. She enjoys reading medical journals and collecting vintage syringes, but dislikes crowded places and small talk. She has survived a near-fatal accident and worked in remote rural clinics.
