Michelle O'Connor

Michelle O'Connor is the sheriff and mayor of New Canaan in 2253.

Background
Michelle O'Connor keeps the peace in New Canaan or at least tries to. She has six deputies to assist her but will need more to hold back the squatters and the 215 Rail Line Powder Gang. Michelle, like Jeremiah Rigdon is in her early 30s. She doesn't see eye to eye with him but would prefer to co-exist than have open hostilities.

She is tough but fair and cares deeply for the town. She used to have a stutter but it isn't as bad as it once was. Still, people think she's not very bright, which works to her advantage.

She is a calm woman, who isn't prone to anger and dislikes violence but is willing to do anything that's necessary to protect the town. She carries a .223 rifle and a .45 revolver to deal with threats, which is quite weak and would be a problem against well armed attackers.
