Life Before The Outbreak: Lex had been born to a long line of Polish immigrants that had settled in the United States as part of the Displaced Persons Act that came into being in 1948. As such, her heritage played a large role in the formation of her childhood as she grew up among the Polish communities of Chicago. Lex frequently ate Polish food, went to a Polish-American school, and so on and so forth.
All and all, life had been fair to Lex as she grew up. Still, she couldn't help but to develop a sense of wanderlust, wondering what might be out there for her outside her little Polish community. It took her until her high school graduation to find her ticket out of Chicago, being lucky enough to secure a spot at the coveted New York University in the Big Apple.
Of course, when you move hundred miles away from your hometown, however, things don't always go as planned. The cost of living change hit her savings hard, and Lex soon found herself working the odd job or two to keep herself afloat. She has had nearly every job under her belt that you could think of, from a cashier position to a waitress to even a delivery driver. Thankfully, her latest opportunity, a security gig at the Natural History Museum, has managed to keep her cash-strapped self afloat. It's an okay job, and Lex is starting to prefer working at the museum rather than seeing it as another job to pay the bills.
Who knows, perhaps it'd be worth talking to the bosses about putting her degree to use when graduation comes. Just as long as there isn't any "life-altering" events in the foreseeable future, you know, like a zombie apocalypse. That would never happen, right? Flesh-hungry, brain-eating zombies aren't actually real, after all.
