Character Background story

As my characters inspiration I am using my sister. She had a torn meniscus and cruciate ligament because of her ex boyfriend. The story is quite funny apart from the fact that she was in a lot of pain and had since then several surgeries because her meniscus keeps tearing apart and she had problems with the healing. 

But I will only use the background story for how and what happened and will give my character a better ending^^ I don't want my character to have several surgeries as well. That would be too mean:)

Just a year ago Kiera(my character, 19 years old ) and her boyfriend Mason ( 22 years old) were playing football together with some friends. Well you should know that Mason is a giant who also enjoys playing Rugby and has a lot of strength. Anyway as they were all playing together Mason got very excited and tackled over Kiera to get the ball. Now you may think how can he just tackle his girlfriend but that wouldn't be anything new for those two. They are both very rough with each other when it comes to playing around. Unfortunately Mason smashed his knee into Kieras when he tackled her and injured her knee. She was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. So they went to the A&E and it turned out that the cruciate ligament and her meniscus were torn and that she needs surgery. After having the surgery she started rehabilitation and had weekly physiotherapy. Even though the beginning was hard and painful- the first week she had to use a wheelchair as walking was too hard and painful and then she had to walk for weeks with crutches and the physiotherapy wasn't that easy in the beginning as well especially if you are scared to damage your knee again- a year has passed now and things are definitely better. Even though Kiera has to be careful with her knee from now on. Also the scar is not as pinky reddish as it was in the beginning and is much more lighter. But depending on the temperature it sometimes still turns a bit pinkish-for instance when having a hot bath otherwise the colour of the scar is lighter than her actual skin colour. Also the two small scars on each side next to the main scar from the surgery were from where the tube( from where the blood flows out) and the microscope went in. Those look still pinkish. As the surgery was a year ago it is most unlikely that the scar(the main one) will change much more. It is already very light. The small ones could get a bit lighter with a bit more time.

Here are some images of my sisters knee a year after her last surgery, which I used to do my sculpture.
