Main Character Pt. 2: Frankenstein, book two City of Night

There are a few characters that show up quite often, so I choose another one of my favorite characters, Carson O'Connor. Carson O’Connor is a police homicide detective with her partner and very good friend, the joker Michael Maddison. Carson is very dedicated and determined. She also really likes to kick some butt, because that is her reputation. She lives with her twelve year old autistic little brother, Arnie, and his caretaker, Vicky Chou. Carson is confident, intense and focused and always gets the job done right. She also really likes big, door busting guns and shooting people (when it's necessary.)
She really likes Michael a lot and had thought about having a romantic relationship with him, but she has not acted on her thoughts so far because she thought that would mess up their professional, perfect partnership. If you put Carson O’Connor in any sort of vehicle, you better be equipped with a helmet, health insurance and some good luck, because she is a maniac. She practically never obeys speed limits and Michael is always BS-ing her about it. She also banters back and forth with Michael about how she can't fathom how he can actually follow the speed limit. She does that on the rare occasions when she does let him get behind the wheel. Carson and Michael work amazingly together, just like peanut butter and jelly.
“She was not a frills and roses kind of girl. She was a blue jeans and guns kind of girl,” was the description of Carson when she was handed a beautiful rose by her elderly custom gun supplier and criminal has-been in his rose garden. Carson is strong, independent and no-frills. She knows street slang and has used her knowledge to bag some thugs who were extorting money from innocent passersby. She is very tough and can hold her own in a fight or shoot out. Carson O’Connor lives in New Orleans, Louisiana where she also works in the NOPD.
Carson’s brother, Arnie lives upstairs in his room in their house building his expansive Lego castle. She is very protective over her little brother. Carson and her partner, Michael had shot dead the man who would have tried to kill Arnie and get something from the kid. She really wants the best for him and to keep him safe. Carson had to let Deucalion, an ally to the humans, take Arnie to Tibet so he could be secure until Frankenstein and his empire are destroyed.
