Name: Elizabeth ‘Lissy’ Spencer Age: 24 Occupation: Runner Status:OPEN Face Claim: Ashley Benson [X] Pronouns: She/Her

BIOGRAPHY

The Spencer’s were one of the most known families around their neighbourhood. Charles was an important attorney, revered by many for cleaning their dirty dishes, God knows he had heard the most scandalous stories from his known neighbours, but he was always there for them to clean all mess and keep their neighbourhood as one of the most prestigious ones. Susan was a housewife, an important job indeed, her days consisted on attending to her husband and only daughter, Elizabeth. 

Cooking was her favourite hobby, and she had the chance to show off when they organized monthly neighbourhood gatherings, no one had been able to take the roll of hostess as good as she used to do it. Apple pies, chocolate cakes, fruit punch, everything neatly displayed on their dining table, ready to receive everyone.

Amongst the families that assisted to these gatherings were the Turners, they had been living in the house right by the Spencer's since what it seemed an eternity. And so, Elizabeth and Josh grew up together as close friends.

Due to her parents protective nature, Elizabeth had a very restricted childhood, always doing what they thought was best for her. Ballet classes, piano lessons and a very strict schedule to study, for they hoped she could apply to the best university in the country once she finished high school. It wasn’t a surprise their precious daughter rebelled against them. When she and Josh were 15 and 17 years old respectively, they decided to change their lifestyles. Together they would sneak out their houses to go to parties, and unavoidably get in trouble. Nothing they couldn't hide from their parents of course.

Soon enough the Spencer's heard stories about the so called, golden boy Joshua Turner. There were people that even said he was in a drug dealing gang. Horrified by all these stories Elizabeth’s parents decided to implement a more strict way to raise her, which only made things worse for them; Lizzy wasn’t going to stop seeing her best friend just because her parents said so. 

Indeed she never stopped seeing Joshua, the rumours were echoed down to silence thanks to Charles’s influence, a thing the Turners were forever thankful for. By this time Elizabeth was 21 years old, but unlike her parents had planned, she didn’t entered a prestigious university. She decided to take a place in a public college, simply because she knew that would annoy them.  

Her parent’s problems were far from over, for this very same year a new family had arrived to their beloved neighbourhood. An unusual family. The Vetrov’s were nothing like the image the Spencer's had been working so hard to preserve. They found out soon enough what they were, and like what happened back in Russia, they shunned them. All except for Elizabeth, who was drawn to them because of their uniqueness. Soon she and Josh had become very good friends of the Vetrov siblings, and despite what her parents might have thought about it, she had fallen for Elisha Vetrov.

They began seeing each other, hiding it from her parents to avoid problems. She was determined to make this relationship work, and she could see Elisha wanted the same. But their perfect world was over as fast as it had begun.

Her parents had found out about their relationship and forced Elizabeth to leave the neighbourhood for a couple of months to her grandmother’s place outside Atlanta, hoping she might forget about Elisha. She kicked and screamed when her father dragged her to the car and drove away as Elisha ran to try and catch them. Little did she know, this was going to be the very last image she’d have of him.

Months passed, and she grew bitter, her grandmother wasn’t the one to blame, it was her parents, she never cringed to the thought of never seeing them again, in fact she wished it.

One summer day, after attending to her chores at her grandmother’s greenhouse she sat with her to watch her favourite soap opera. But instead of the regular transmission she saw chaos, all around Atlanta. The news channels didn’t stop talking about this strange outbreak that was affecting everyone all across the country. Soon she found out the roads had been closed and the government had declared state of emergency. Elizabeth thought about Josh, Jolene and Elisha back in Atlanta. She had to go back and join them, but she couldn't leave her grandmother alone.

After a few agonizing days of not hearing any news, a group of the military showed up in the area. They were there to evacuate any survivors that were still alive. Elizabeth didn’t think it twice, there was a small chance her friends could have made it there, so she took everything she could and left with her grandmother in one of the army trucks.

But, when they were about to reach the road that lead to possible salvation, everything turned to chaos. One of the persons the army had rescued was infected, and the creature that rose up managed to unleash mayhem single-handedly. Their truck crashed, and all the commotion had drawn more and more of those creatures to them like flies to honey. Lizzy tried to save her grandmother, but everything happened too fast, the monsters had taken her and there was nothing else she could have done. She ran and ran until she couldn't run anymore.

Afraid, and with no supplies Elizabeth thought she was going to die right then and there. A group of no more than 15 people found her, right by the side of a makeshift bonfire. She soon would come to learn their leader’s name was Stanley, and that he had ambitious ideas.

PERSONALITY

Lizzy’s determination may seem to some as stubbornness, but after being raised by very strict parents she has decided that no one else is going to tell her what she should or shouldn't do. This, of course, has given her problems. Especially now with Stanley as her leader, she has had to learn to control her impulses to tell him to go hell. However her loyalty to those she considers her friends is true, she would do anything to help them, even if this gets her into trouble.

Name: Neave Tanner Age: 24 Occupation: Runner Status: TAKEN Face Claim: Shailene Woodley Pronouns: She/Her 

BIOGRAPHY

Neave’s childhood, was that of any other ordinary middle class girl. Her parents were well respected bankers and she went to a good school – her future was bright.

 At 16 years old, Neave met her high-school sweetheart. Sebastian Ackerman, whose easy smile, and twinkling green eyes made her melt. It was all rather cliché, but the two of them fell head over heels in love, planning out their lives together as they got older, and although her parents would’ve preferred Neave dated that “nice, quiet boy from Church” they accepted Sebastian into the family, regardless. Their daughter was happy, and that was the only thing that mattered.

Come high-school graduation, Neave and Sebastian were still going strong. A smart girl, Neave was preparing to graduate with the highest of honours, with multiple scholarships behind her, when she received some unforeseen news: she was pregnant.

Like any 18 year old girl would be, she was scared. She panicked, she cried. In her eyes, her whole life was over. She couldn’t raise a child and go to university. What would Sebastian think? Neave knew that he loved her, but neither of them were ready to be parents. When she finally told him, she had expected him to leave her – an outcome she had already prepared herself for, but to her surprise, Sebastian wasn’t angry nor did he want to leave her, he was delighted.

Although relieved, Neave wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as he was, but when the attended their first ultrasound together, she knew she wanted the baby.

The news didn’t go down as well with her parents, which was anticipated, but Sebastian assured them he’d find a well paying job to support his child, whilst Neave continued with her studies.

University was a difficult adjustment for Neave, with her hormones all over the place; she found it difficult to cope with her work load, whilst also preparing for motherhood. There were several points in her life where Neave was almost at breaking point, but Sebastian was always there to pick up the pieces, and get her motivated again.

By the time their daughter – Elizabeth, was born, Neave was well on her way to graduating with a degree in Environmental Engineering. When Neave graduated, at 22 her little ray of sunshine was ready to start school.

She and Sebastian moved into together shortly after her graduation and focused on becoming a real family, and although they weren’t married, there were never any problems between the two of them, as their only priority was Elizabeth.

It was just another normal day at work for Neave, when she received the call. The sun was high in the sky, and she wasn’t due home for another few hours, but after the school nurse told her that there’d been an accident with Elizabeth in the school playground, Neave booked the rest of the day off and drove down to the school as fast as the roads would carry her.

When she got there, everything seemed fine, just a little bump to her head where Elizabeth had fallen over. The nurse assured that she’d be fine but Neave knew better, and she drove Elizabeth straight to the hospital. What was just a simple bump on head soon became an increasingly threatening injury.  

Seeing her little girl lying there on a bed with all these tubes and monitors surrounding her, slowly tore Neave apart. Sebastian begged her to come home, he knew there was no use in sitting around – the doctors would treat Elizabeth as best they could but Neave wouldn't budge.

For 4 days, Neave sat by the hospital bed, watching the life drain out of her Elizabeth and by the time the doctors informed her of the devastating news, and switched off the life support, Neave was numb.

She couldn't cry. She couldn't feel anything. All there was now was emptiness. Telling Sebastian she was taking a quick drive to clear her head, Neave got in her car and drove as far as the road would take her, stopping only for gas when she needed it. She never looked back.

The next time Neave woke up, she was in a hospital bed with a high pitched ringing in her ears and a splitting headache. She called for a nurse but no one answered, there was only an eerie silence. After rummaging around for some clothes, Neave took to the desolate hospital corridors, wandering around dazed and confused. She couldn't remember anything, and whenever she tried to think back her head just hurt even more.  Neave could remember her name at least, that was a good start.

The whole situation of a zombie apocalypse was a bit overwhelming for a woman with significant amnesia and possible head injuries, but with the hordes of then undead that surrounded the area, a doctor’s appointment was the least of Neave’s problems.

PERSONALITY

It takes more than severe knock to the head to strip Neave of her fiery temper. To those who don’t know her, Neave can come across as a little blunt, to the point of rudeness; but underneath her sarcastic and snide exterior is a loyal and dependable young woman who is eager to please.

It may take a little time to gain her trust with Neave being a little sceptical and hesitant around strangers, but Neave has a big heart and a lot of love to give.

TRAITS

+ Adventurous, Determined, Courageous

- Blunt, Quick Tempered, Secretive

CONNECTIONS

Elisha Vetrov: When Neave first met Elisha, the pair didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye, their strong and bold personalities often clashing and causing heated arguments between the two of them. If you asked Neave what she thought of Eli two years ago, she would've probably said he was an arrogant and childish idiot, however these days she would probably still tell you that he’s an idiot, but not without her cheeks flushing bright red, followed by a swift change of topic. Although she may not express her affection for him outwardly, Neave is pretty sure he’s caught on by now. But as long as Eli doesn't say anything, neither will she.

Jolene Vetrova: Jolene and Neave met in some rather strange circumstances, but despite that, they've always managed to get along. Despite her age, Jolene is very mature, and sometimes Neave can aggravate Jolene with her childish sense of humour, but they always manage to put their differences aside, and stick together as a team when the situation arises.

Cyrus Erikson: Cyrus has a strange character about him, and Neave isn't sure if she likes that about him or not. To her, he’s just Jolene’s friend from the Clinic that sometimes stays for dinner. Whilst she doesn't mind him being there – his obvious fondness for Jolene can sometimes result in awkward silence around the house, Neave finds his innocence is cute, even though she does tease him about it sometimes.
