Stacey Emma Sanderson

Stacey Emma Sanderson is eighteen years old and a camper. She's also a local during the rest of the year. She has lived with her grandparents since she was four years old. Her parents drowned, leaving her with a huge fear of water. Stacey likes to break the rules, to see how far she can go before she gets in trouble. Her best friends are Cassandra Young, Jadin Hunter, and Joelle Evans-Shade.

Personality
Stacey can be a bit on the wild side. Growing up, she was never given many rules, although the school she went to was extremely strict. She's constantly looking for ways to break any rules she can find. She pushes the limits, she tries to see exactly how much she can get away with. When it comes to rules, here's her train of thought: Rules are for breaking. She loves to laugh and make others laugh; she doesn't like to see unhappy people. Also, Stacey's the type of girl who can't stand being stuck inside. She feels this constant need to always be outside, and camp is her favourite place to be in the summer.

The one thing she can't handle is water. Only those closest to her know why, though. She hasn't been in the water, aside from baths and showers, since she was four.

Secrets
Stacey hates being in the water. Swimming pools, lakes, oceans, even hot tubs. The only place she can be in the water is baths and showers, and she only takes showers. She hasn't taken a bath since she was old enough to clean herself properly in the shower.

The reason? Her parents. Two days after Stacey's fourth birthday, Linda and Peter Sanderson went out on their sailboat. There was a storm. There were high waves. And in the end, there were no parents. A confused four-year-old girl was sent to live with her grandparents in Alice Springs, California. And that girl has refused to go in the water ever since.

Background
Stacey's history is simple. Born to Linda and Peter Sanderson on May 17, 1992. Life was good. May 19, 1996 -- parents go out on the boat. Stacey watched the storm from her window with wide eyes while the babysitter watched TV downstairs, ignoring the crying child on the second floor. Less than twenty-four hours after her parents drowned, Linda Sanderson's mother and father showed up to take their granddaughter back to their home in Alice Springs, California. Stacey grew up with a very small amount of rules, a love of the outdoors, and an ever-present fear of the water. And now, fourteen years after that storm by Seattle, Washington, here she is, at Camp Lakota for the seventh year in a row.
