Charmed: that is the best way to describe Braelynn McPherson’s life. Everything was handed to her on a silver platter - never having had to work for much, being blessed with a beautiful face and a family name many wanted to be in the good graces of. As a young child, Brae didn’t understand what her father and mother’s money did to the people around, but as she grew in age, she became the wiser. At first, she only saw it as a perk - people always being kind to you and always getting the best things. However, entering high school, she wasn’t sure who her real friends were and who was talking behind her back. Still, Brae remained the same kind, loyal, and somewhat blunt girl they had all grown to tolerate. After all, there was nothing she could do now.
Luckily, she had her twin brother to confide in when things became difficult. The two were inseparable - more best friends than siblings. When their parents were fighting again or everyone’s true colors began to shine through, the two had each other to lean on. They went to the same college, lived in the same apartment complex, and even had a night reserved for each other in their calendars. He was the one bright spot she had in a life full of confusion and chaos. Braelynn often feared the day her brother would no longer be a part of her life. She hoped she’d never have to see that day.
THIS IS IT: THE APOCALYPSE
When the Outbreak first hit, all of her friends didn’t take it seriously; they all thought it was a ‘drug thing’ that would be over in a few weeks. As it inched closer and closer, however, the joking turned to terror. They wanted to run and get as far away as possible Braelynn, however, couldn’t run. Her brother, ever being the hero, wanted to stay to protect those around from whatever the hell was coming. Leaving would mean not knowing what happened to him, and she didn’t do well with uncertainty. She had never learned how to shoot, but knew how to hold a baseball bat.
As they were out on a supply run, Flesh Eaters heard the noise and attacked. While running, one managed to get a chunk out of Brae’s brother’s leg. When the pair got to safety, he begged her to leave him behind. Despite his pleas to run, she stayed with him til the end. As his final living breathes were drawn, she waited for what was to come; she had seen a couple of her friends turn, her brother having taken them out, but never had done it herself. As he turned and attacked, her sad wailing turned to terrified screams, surely being heard from all around. Thankfully, a man did hear - someone she would come to know as Art - and saved her. He brought her to the rest of their group, where she is the newest member to join.
