Krisana Herrera
28 - Aries - Store Owner - 5'6 - Fo Porter
"Day's always brighter with candy."
Appearance Details
Tawny skin tone, a little overweight, and doesn't leave the house without candy in her pocket. Her hair is dark, long and curly, her eyes are dark brown, she has freckles all over her face, and her ears are pierced. She's into colorful fashion, she never leaves the house without looking like a rainbow. Her nails and toes are a different colors.
Characterization
Krisana's a positive person, but she's not blind to a bad situation. She can't delude herself to think it's always sunshine and rainbows. When the circumstances are bad or she has a terrible day she thinks about what she has going for her to balance out the negative. She goes with the flow. If shit sucks, she accepts it as is and adapts to the new situation. No use dwelling on the things that can't be fixed when she can control how she deals with it. She has a sugar addiction that earned her ten cavities by the time she was eighteen. It was hard to cut back per her dentist orders, but if she didn't want them to fall out of her mouth she had to buck up and moderate. Instead of keeping a candy bag in her purse, she sticks a few pieces in her pockets before she leaves the house every day. Once she finishes, that's it. She's proud to say her cavities don't need to be refilled.
Krisana's family owns a candy shop on Richland Ave called Honey Sugar's Candy Store. It was named after her great-grandmother and great aunt, Honey and Sugar. Her mother, Rose, opened the store when Krisana was six years old. The store looked antique; jars of colorful candy on every shelf in various sizes, a large wooden display case at the register for candy at a child's eye view, and soft orange painted walls. They sold old candy brands and new alike. She worked there and learned the business since day one. Krisana couldn't imagine doing anything else. All she can eat sweets and bringing smiles to her customers' faces. What more could she want?
There is one thing she wanted more than anything growing up, but candy wasn't going to solve it. Her father wasn't around. Emilio divorced her mother when she was three years old. He left to get away from small town America and started another family on the west coast. He sends birthday and holiday cards and pays his child support, but he rarely calls. The one time she went to visit him in San Diego she didn't get to spend much time with him. She was sixteen and had to watch her little brother like it was normal to babysit a sibling she knew nothing about. After that the cards stopped coming; she yearned for him, until she graduated high school. She came to terms that he doesn't want to be in her life and moved on. She had more important things to do, like learn how to run the store from an owner's perspective.
Recently her mother wanted to take a break from the store, so she trusted Krisana to be the de facto owner while she travels the world with her life savings. Krisana only ran the store for a week, before zombies took over the country.

“Bad week. Bad year. Bad everything. Kind of sucks, doesn't it?”
Appearance Details
Fairly tall among her classmates at her local High School, Katherine Jenkins is a red-haired teenager who is presentable enough. She wasn’t the “queen bee” or “popular” type, so she’s never particularly cared about her appearance as much as others. With limited free time most people recognized Katie by her waitress get-up than anything else.
Characterization
Katherine Jenkins, Katie to most people in Rushford, has lived with her grandfather for her entire life. She never really knew much of her parents, though some people in Rushford often talk about them like they were the best of people. She supposes it is all part of her “tragic backstory” that fate stripped her of a father who died in Iraq and a mother who passed away from cancer when she was eight-years-old.
The only thing she’s really known is the family diner and her grandfather.
Much like any kid from Rushford, she’s wanted to get out. For Katie, the idea has always been Austin or Nashville. Somewhere she could pursue her dreams that she never talks about. Music. Funny how things don’t really turn out how you want to, though nobody could’ve predicted a pandemic of this scale and consequence. Nobody ever told you that you’d have to bury your grandfather during a panic. Unlike others, ironically enough, it had been the stress and worry that had got him. A heart attack. It was probably better that way, or at least that’s as much of a rational thought that Katie has found herself able to process. She’d rather him pass on like that then catch whatever the infected were becoming. The diner’s all that’s left. Well, outside of actually burying her grandfather.
She wasn’t sure what to do when a few other Rushford locals entered the diner, but she was glad to see them.

“Is it so bad to hope?”
Appearance Details
Though young and fresh-faced, Kenny has seen much in the past week, and her features have taken on a gaunt and haunted edge. She’s steadily developing bags under her eyes, and her natural thinness is starting to shine through her lean, athletic frame. On her she has the blouse and jeans she wore to school on the day the her life changed, which are now everything from torn to splattered, although thankfully they’re still holding up okay. Her hair is tied up in the same ponytail she kept adjusting through the week, and though she doesn’t look like she came close to winning any time recently, her eyes remain sharp with the will to survive.
Characterization
Two weeks ago, Kenny was a high school sophomore who’d finally made first baseman on the school softball team, a daughter to an overworked single mom juggling shifts as both a nurse and a waiter, and a sister to a sweet little boy named Caleb, who was looking forward to celebrating their mom’s birthday. Two weeks ago, she was an optimistic person, a hardworking student, and a kind and loyal friend to classmates and teammates alike. Two weeks ago, she had loved ones around her and a life ahead of her, and she’d never thought twice about such a thing as zombies.
Today, she’s a baseball-wielding orphan barely clinging onto life in the diner her mom used to work at, who’s not sure whether the brother she begged a neighbor’s family to take along with them last week is still alive. Today, she’s living on dwindling supplies with nothing to her name but a dead phone and an old, blood-splattered baseball bat. Today, she spends her nights fending off bad dreams and her days caught between uncertainty and pessimism, but she’s willing to hope. She’s willing to hope that her brother beat the odds just as she did, that she can still fulfill her mother’s dying request for her to take care of him, and that she still has someone out there to live for. Because that way, she’ll have a reason to keep fighting as hard as she can, for as long as she can. She’ll have a reason to keep her head up and her eyes fixed on the future—on hope.
So she will.

"Everyone assumes we start out in the same place. We don’t."
Appearance Details
The years have certainly taken their toll on all facets of Kent’s life, but none so prominently than his overall demeanor and presence, particularly in recent weeks. Where he once stood tall with confidence and pride, he now tends to slump at the shoulders and wither under the pressures that haunt his reality. Tired, blue eyes peer out of a weathered face, and a light beard now covers his chin and cheeks. His shock of gray hair, while still kept at an acceptable length, is often tousled and greasy. He has also grown more lean and gaunt due to the stress of this new world, losing some of the softness around his middle.
Kent also doesn’t care much about fashion sense; his clothes are what many would consider comfortable – plaid, flannel shirts, sometimes quilted depending on the weather, Carhartt jackets, t-shirts, sturdy boots, and a pair of dependable blue jeans.

Characterization
For the nearly 40 years of his professional career, Kent served his hometown of Rushford through his private family practice as a primary care physician. The quaint office consisted of only himself, his friend Jerry, who served as his assistant, and his wife Emily as his personal secretary and receptionist. The only notable addition was his son, Jack, who joined the team as a second physician in early 2008.
Kent took pride in his work and was often lauded for his knowledge and precision, always going above and beyond what was expected of him. His calm and humble demeanor also helped him to connect with his patients on a personal level, prescribing gentle but effective advice and treatment no matter the health issue. This not only made him a competent doctor, but he quickly became a familiar face and a trustworthy friend to many of the locals.
Unfortunately, this arrangement would not last forever. With the increase of big business and other residential and retail development in the region, the health care system became more standardized and strict with their procedures. As a result, more hospitals joined together into networks to coordinate and deliver a broad spectrum of services to the community and to stay up to date with the current initiatives passed down from the government. They often targeted small private practices to consolidate into their system; Kent’s family business was no exception.
Despite a hard battle, Kent could not withstand the constant pressure from these entities and ultimately decided to retire. His son, however, did not agree to uphold his father’s ideals nor to continue the fight; he caved to the hospital networks and joined their team of doctors, presumably over money and prominence, which caused a nasty falling out between father and son. Kent has not spoken to Jack since that fateful day.
Even now, two years later, his son’s decision remains a point of contention. It’s a shadow that lingers at the back of Kent’s mind, serving as a reminder of how fragile life truly is. He withdrew into himself, and his marriage has suffered as a result. While he was able to regain some happiness by rekindling his love of nature and fully embracing the outdoors, he finds that he is never fully satisfied. Camping, boating excursions, and long hikes in the woods only go so far in easing his troubled mind. He still feels restless and agitated.
That was before his wife decided to take a week-long trip to Lake Erie with her social group...
That was before the world went to hell…
In the midst of so much uncertainty, Kent’s only hope is to reconnect with his wife and son, to make amends for everything that has gone wrong, and survive this crisis...together.

DASHIELL "DASH" MILLER
twenty-eight - gemini - eight grade english teacher - five feet, eleven inches - dustin milligan
“This is a good time to question everything.”
Appearance Details
Currently flaunting a scruffy, unshaven face and a head of messy, tossed dirty blonde hair. Staggering with a frame of five feet and eleven inches, Dash has lost his beer gut recently that came along with the rest of his teacher physique for a more aesthetic look (all thanks to the cardio training the zombies bring when you're running for your life). These days his fashion is less patterned button ups and ties for a more neutral look with solid colored shirts, sweaters, and a pair of jeans or chinos.
Characterization
Before the world went to hell, Dash was a pretty simple-minded man. He lived life as easily as possible, following the straight and narrow, cutting corners when it made sense but for the most part never diverting the path before him. Known for being a kindhearted teacher who ruled the classroom with respect and lighthearted fun, he carried that over into the dark aftermath of the zombie outbreak. He does his best to keep his levelheadedness, but remembering that since the world isn't what it used to be, he needs to be more realistic with his choices, knowing that every step he take could really be his last.
Dash was born and raised in Rushford, never expressing a desire to really see any other part of the world. He attended the University of Dayton, earning a degree in Adolescence to Young Adult Education, where he went through the rites of passage of college. Dash partied, he broke hearts, had his heart broken a few times, studied abroad for a semester at the request of his mother, and even ended up on the local news for running a charity 5K for one of his friend's cancer treatment. After college, Dash returned to Rushford and got a job at the local middle school where he had attended growing up. His life was simple, he worked during the days, drank with his friends on his off hours and the weekends, and attended family dinners where his mother attempted to play match-maker with the locals he knew all too well and where his father nagged him about his complacency in life. Now with the world having flipped upside down, Dash was in an ever-changing stage of life that wasn't as simple as he was used to, having to change himself with the times.

Lena Gibby
25 - Cancer - Front Desk Assistant - 5'5 - Raven Reyes/Lindsey Morgan 
“If you don't think I'm a princess, you're a hundred percent right. I'm the fucking queen.”
Appearance Details
From her strong jaw and strong eyebrows to her lean and toned body, Lena exhales confidence. She stands at 5'5 tall but seems somehow to look taller, maybe an illusion from her lean legs. Her brown hair extends well to the middle of her back, and she usually wears it in a ponytail. She has a delicate nose, full lips, and brown almond eyes. Her tan skin shows her Latino heritage.
Characterization
Born and raised in Rushford, Lena lives with her family in a big property. The terrain has been in the family for generations and is currently owned by Lena's grandmother, Elizabeth. The two-story house is surrounded by a huge garden with flowers and vegetables and what they call "The Forest". Most of her free time Lena will spend in the forest, lying in a hammock and reading a book, or helping her grandmother in the garden. Ever since she was a girl she took an interest in gardening and over the years she learned how to identify plants and herbs. Elizabeth also raised chickens and fishes in the big pond behind the house.
She lives with her parents and younger sister in her grandmother's house. She was always close to Elizabeth, and when the elder fell ill with Alzheimer's, Lena took online classes and courses to become her grandmother's caregiver. She reduced her work hours to part-time so she can spend more time taking care of Elizabeth and her beloved garden. Lena took after her grandmother in the sense that she loves harvesting vegetables and cooking, and everything had always been available right at their backyard.
Lena is determined and never lets anything stop her. When she was a kid she had a great interest in sports, but her asthma made it harder for her to participate. She didn't let that stop her, though, and took every effort possible to overcome her shortcomings, eventually getting proficient in volleyball and running. Still, she can't go anywhere without her inhaler, and she often suffers from asthma attacks. All the cardio work definitely paid off, however, helping decrease the number of attacks she has over the years. She doesn't go a day without going for a run.
She has a strong character and won't let people tell her what to do. She can be as stubborn as a mountain against the wind, but she's strong-willed and will get what she wants. However, she's not irrational -- she recognizes when she needs to follow orders for the best of the situation, she just prefers to follow herself. She speaks her mind and isn't afraid of what others will think of her.
She wasn't at home when the chaos ensued, and after a week she still hasn't been able to get back to her house and check on her family. For all she knows, the property could be overrun and her family could be dead, but she's still hoping for the best.

Henry Atkins
25 - Libra - Vet Tech - 75" - Jesse Eisenberg
“To the winner goes the spoils.”
Appearance Details
Henry Atkins is short and lean. He exercises regularly and grooms well. His exercises include thigh crunches, shoulder and bench presses, and a few cardiovascular treks like treadmills and ellipticals. He also does push ups and sit ups. His body mass index is less than %10. He has been awarded prizes at featherweight body building competitions.
Henry uses expensive hair and skin care products. He visits his hairstylist once every four week cycle and gets his hair cut. Sometimes he gets a simple cut leaving it a bit lengthy on top and short on the sides. Sometimes he selects a haircut from the menu, but his favorite is curls or frosting. He also makes sure his nails are trimmed, and he soaks his feet in warm water everyday.
His well taken care of hair is brown and thick. He 5'11 and his shoe size is 10. His biceps, triceps, and legs and ankles are well defined from working out. His eyes are blue, and he has a tiny hole in his nose from it being pierced. Finally, he has a scar and minor paralysis on his left hand after he was attacked by a canine animal.
Characterization
Henry was a trained vet technician. He wore gloves and scrubs everyday. He is admittedly vain, but he always had dogs so he enrolled in Animal Science courses at the junior college. He did well enough to score an occupation with benefits. His small family praised him. Before he knew it, he would become supervisor of small animals.
Henry had a very good upbringing. He liked school, he loved sports, and his family was structured. He excelled in English and History and scored enough on the SAT to be accepted to a state liberal arts college, which he declined. His mother and father wanted him to do something, so he looked up information and went to community college. There, he found girls and he played intramural sports.
He had never met a girl he loved, but one in particular named Heather was what he dreamed of. Her body was amazing. She had a dry look to her, but it was because her skin responded that way to her creams and gels. She didn't look bad. However, as much as Henry loved her she ended up transferring to college and left him in Rushford. After he graduated and got his job he called her and got an answer. She had been engaged for five months.
Besides the bodybuilding and college follies, Henry watched the world crash in front of his eyes. All of Ohio was on alert, and that's when a Ford Ranger crashed into the animal clinic. Henry remembers running to the front and seeing four people who were killed, and a few animals were also hit. And then, what he witnessed ensue was from Hell. There were two people fighting off an attacker, but the attacker threw the man down and chomped on his female companion. Long story short, Mr. Henry Atkins doubled up and drove back to his parent's house.
