Describe your character's life before the outbreak?:
Before the outbreak Dana was 23. Working her way through college.. She lived with her girlfriend and her sister in a 2 bedroom apartment... Her girlfriend and her taking responsibity of Dana's younger sister Sophie when their parents died in a car crash.. Dana didn't mind her job. It was a paycheck... The customers were rude assholes but still it was a paycheck. She was going to school for economics and wanted to do something important with her life... Something that ment something. Her girlfriend and her had been living together for a year now... Right after her parents died... When Dana's family was basically cut in half, Chelsea asked her to move in with her sister to remind her she had family.... Chelsea had planned on proposing to Dana before the world went to hell....
What happened to your character on outbreak day?:
On outbreak day Dana had to work. Sitting on the seat beside her was a letter in an envelope given to her by her sister that morning.. They had a huge fight the night before and her sister called Dana a bitch for not letting her go out. The next morning she found the letter sitting on the counter; her sister already left for school.. It was addressed to Dana and it was from Sophie. Chelsea had the day off and she was supposed to be home with Sophie who was 16. Sophie didn't need a babysitter but still she wasn't going out on a school night either. Dana had really buckled down and filled in on the role of mom after her parents died. She was coming home from work, the day was long and miserable but what can you do? Not a great many coffee shops in her part of Nebraska, you'd think customers looking for a cup of the wake me up would be a little nicer to the employees of the only coffee shop in the area... Dickheads.... Dana drove her car home through the dark streets... It was unusually quiet tonight she thought as she drove down the street.. Wait who's that in the road she though... She slowed the car even more to realize it was her sister.. She was walking down the street in her pajamas'; shorts in a tank top... She pulled the car up to yell at her and started to roll down the window when she lunged at the glass.. Her eyes were a sick shade of nasty and she smeared blood on the window..... Some guy on a bike stopped to ask if she needed help and ask Sophie what she was doing. He got off the bike and walked over.... She attacked the man biting his forearm and tearing away flesh! Oh my god! Dana screamed as she watched her sister start to ..... eat the man. What the fuck is going on? She didn't get to see what happened next as a car came out of nowhere, paniced flying down the road running form something and hit her parked car.... The world went black... Eyes fluttered open for a moment... She was staring at the roof of the inside of a car.... Then back to blackness..... Eyes fighting to open she saw a blur shape in the driver's seat.... Was she in a backseat? She could hear a man and a woman yelling.... It was the couple that hit her... They stopped and pulled her out of the car not feeling good about leaving an unconsious girl so close to one of the things that had suddenly started eating people..... She never found out what happened to her girlfriend... By time she woke up fully and wasn't drifting in and out of consiousness she was in another state entirely... The couple were headed to the east coast... To New York to find their family... Dana saw she had a voicemail on her phone.... It was a but dialed call the sounds of someone.... She couldn't be sure if it was Chelsea.... Screaming and crying.... Growls and moans could be heard in the background...She can't confirm that her girlfriend is dead, but she didn't like her chances... She slumped in the backseat after she sat up realizing everyone she loved was probably dead.... She said nothing the whole way to new york..
Describe your character's life after the apocalypse:
Dana had nothing left for her in Nebraska she rode in the backseat of the couples car all the way from Nebraska to New York... At first shit wasn't that bad... Then it's like someone pulled the "fuck my day up" lever and shit all went south! The roadblocks, pile ups the god dam dead walking the streets... It was a nightmare... Somehow though they made it... Dana over the course of the roadtrip there had become close with the couple Mike and Emily... She found out they were newlyweds when the shit hit. They had just gotten married that day.... Talk about your signs of things to come.. But they were good people and Dana survived with them for awhile... They hadn't found their family; Emily's family was the one's they were looking for but all they found was an empty apartment and a note that said "Couldn't stay.... had to go don't kill grandma!" That's when the screaming started... After they all passed the note around and everyone read it... They sat and looked at each other in stunned silence.. Dana felt bad for them... She knew what it was like to not know for sure if the one's you loved were alive or dead... Then Mike was bit.... Grandma was in the hall, no one had checked the apartment they were all so consumed by the note. They all had come to know what happens when you get bit. And without even batting an eye Emily; the sweet one, pulled a gun and shot Mike in the face; Grandma too! Holy fuckballs! Dana cried... She was going to be sick! She was right on mikes face... which didn't help.... She needed to go.. She couldn't be with Emily anymore... She ran out of the room and looked for somewhere anywhere to lay low... She fold an old clothes shop... She found a leather jacket and some fingerless gloves to put on... Finally getting out of that stupid coffee shop uniform.... (They hadn't stopped much on the way to New York) And she waited..... One day she was stumbled upon in the little clothes shop by some scouts from the hive.... They brought her backand she fell under the training of Tamara Tegan Lyell..... She would become Dana's mentor and teach her how to be a scavenger for the hive....
After the hive fell Dana found herself part of a roaming group of scouts. The scouts headed west and eventually found themselves in California. Dana met Hannah her wife and things were good for awhile, eventually Dana left. She had her own personal reasons for leaving, but in the end she found herself in Bell Isle. Trudging through Michigan in the snow Dana passed out to exhaustion and the cold. She fell face first into the snow and was saved by Joseph McMillian. He brought her in and saved her life. She was only there long enough to recover before she skipped out on that group in Bell Isle too. Dana mostly avoids people now. She doesn't believe she deserves happiness and kicks herself every chance she gets. She has to make up for the things she's done in her past.
