Personality: Riley is a girl who is brutally honest with everyone around her, and will say whatever is one her mind regardless if it hurts another persons feelings or not. She does not like to be pushed around unless you really push her buttons, Riley will fight back if she has to. She however is an extremely loyal person to a fault and will always stick up for them if they don't do it for themselves, she sometimes enjoys getting into heated arguments with anyone around her. When she is upset she will lash out on someone even if they have done nothing wrong to her at all.
Since the loss of Newnan as well as her sister Chloe, Riley has since then been a lot more distant and cold towards those that are around her. Though she still will say whatever is on her mind, Riley has become rather overprotective to those that she has gotten close with over the last year. More so with Amelia than anyone else, she'd happily die for anyone in the Hordebuster group. Though when she is completely alone or has actual time for herself Riley will be more quiet than anything like she is in deep thought over something.
Habits: Riley when embarrassed will rub the back of her neck or plays with her hair. When Riley is in a bad mood she will glare at just about anyone.

Your First Walker Encounter: After finishing up her last performance of the night at a concert in LA Riley had headed off of the stage while her bandmates went to the bus that would drive them to their hotel. Riley was the last person as she walked past some of the back stage crew, one of them didn't look well at all as she went over towards him to see if he needed any help and grab one of the medics back stage. The young man ended up collapsing, then the man died, Riley tried to call for help when a few moments later her came back to life. That's when her first walker tried to take a chunk out of her, seeing that Riley was in trouble one of the body guards to protect her and the crew back stage went to help.
The man quickly took a chunk out of the bodyguard's arm, Riley started to freak out and she quickly made a beeline towards her car since she didn't live to far away from where the concert was at. Once she got home Riley decided to just drink the rest of the night and hoped that it was just a bad dream.
History Before Outbreak: During high school Riley actually struggled with a lot of things, from grades to her sexuality to even being bullied by other kids in the school. She hung out in the wrong crowd and was usually either skipping class or rarely ever paying attention to her teachers. Riley was the trouble child of the family and always got into some sort of argument with her parents and siblings. This was also the time when Riley started dyeing her hair different colors, this also ended up getting her into trouble with her teachers and other staff. But she refused to dye her hair a more natural color, which led her getting a few suspensions in the past, she was just expressing herself.
Then when she decided to come out of the closet, her friends were happy some didn't really care but when she came out to her family it led her to getting kicked out of the house. Riley ended up rooming with a friend of hers and her family, Riley also ended up getting a job at a local fast food joint. During her time in high school however Riley actually help found a rock band with a few other kids, which they would perform from time to time during school events if she was asked to do it. Riley of course stays in contact with them some have still stuck to her to this day, Riley enjoyed playing music for her fellow students and helped her make a few more friends.
She eventually moved out to LA for awhile buying the cheapest apartment that she could find, eventually Riley started writing her own songs. Riley and her band produced their first album within a year, their music then started getting more attention as it played on the radio. Then they started to do a national tour across the country. After three years of writing touring and all the traveling Riley decided to take a short break.
Riley settled into Pittsburgh and actually got a girlfriend and the two dated for quiet awhile, until her girlfriend had enough of Riley going out to parties constantly. She then started writing more songs and then got back with her band once again to produce their fourth album, and then several interviews were lined up as well for their next world tour. Then the strange reports started coming out as riots started and the world started to turn to shit.
History Since Outbreak: Waking the next day Riley woke with a really bad hangover she tried to turn on the TV but while she was out things started to get worse than they already were and power was out. Riley made her way towards the window seeing that there were still riots in the streets, she went and made sure that the door was locked. She had enough food that would last for about a week. Eventually a week past and Riley ended up going through her supply of food, luckily there wasn't any looters that tried to break into her apartment. Desperate for food she grabbed a baseball bat and headed out, Riley started to search for any kind of food at a nearby convince store she always stopped by to get something small of course the place was looted.
As Riley continued to search nearby stores she bumped into a group a nice group of people, they worked together using her apartment as a place to hold up in. They managed to get their hands on some radios from dead soldiers, one night Riley and her group started to hear explosions going off looking out the window Riley and her group saw military jets starting to fire bomb LA. Knowing that it wouldn't be safe anymore they went towards the parking garage Riley got into her car while the group she was with got into others that were still working.
They eventually left the city behind staying away from any major cities and stuck to small towns, Riley stuck with the group she was with traveling further eastward hoping to find anything or a larger group. The tight knit group that Riley was with eventually started to crack others started to get sick, or they got bit or attacked by a hostile group. Riley ended up becoming the only survivor of the group driving alone by the time she got to Georgia. She found an abandoned settlement just outside of Albany Georgia where Riley settled down doing what she could to fortify just one building she found was good enough.
Eventually a group of bandits came across where Riley had held up in for the last year they easily took her as their prisoner she was only given enough food and water to keep moving. Then there was a large herd of walkers using that time Riley snuck out during the chaos she found her car she had been calling home for the last three years and quickly started to drive off during the chaos. Desperate for food, water and fuel she decided to try the towns and areas closer towards Atlanta.
