What is your full name?
Laken Angelique Parker
What do you prefer to be called?
Laken
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Headstrong, realistic & tolerant
What do you consider your biggest strength?
I’m quick at solving problems but do it methodically, which is the reason why I become stubborn - I have good reasons to be.
Weakness?
I either care too much or not at all... there’s no in-between.
Tell us about your family. Do you have any siblings? Did you/do you get along with your parents?
I have a sister, Ellie. We were separated, so I’m not sure if she’s alive or not. I got along great with my parents, especially my mum - she was my best friend; was with me through everything, picked me up when I fell down... I still feel guilty that I wasn’t there when she died. My father strengthened my love of video games but on anything else, we butted heads. I love him of course, but we just didn’t like the same things.
Where did you grow up?
New York
Where were you when the apocalypse began?
I was actually at work - working overtime which was something extremely normal for me.
What were you doing (in terms of career)?
I was a game developer.
How many walkers have you killed?
I’ve lost count
How many people have you killed?
Sadly, I’ve lost count on this one too.
Why?
Multiple reasons; back at the start, a couple of guys thought having a fuck was more important then getting to safety - never felt guilty about those kills. Most of the people were mercy kills, others mistakes when I was alone and afraid. I did what I had to do to survive.
Is there something you’re hiding from the rest of your group?
No, why would I?
If so, why are you hiding it?
Have you been apart of another group?
One, but it didn’t last long, only a week or so.
Why did you leave, if so?
All of the people in it were idiots and got themselves killed - I was smart and ran.
What brought you to your current group (or what brought you to the location, for the outsiders)?
My main plan was to survive alone but after I experienced it, I decided against it and began to walk. I stumbled upon it and liked their morals, so I joined.
What is it about your group that makes you prefer over the other group (for outsiders, do you want to join one of the two main groups)?
Strict rules and orders were never really my thing; I prefer being in a group I can trust than being in an orderly place with no guarantee of having real friends. I don’t like to be paranoid.
Do you have a primary/preferred weapon?
Mostly my ax, especially when I’m pissed, calms me right down. But I always carry my gun, in case I come across a large group of walkers.
Do you have any prized possessions?
I have a necklace that was my mother’s - she was wearing it when I found her body and decided to take it, to remind me of her and dad.
What is your greatest fear?
Becoming a walker and closed spaces. Don’t really like clowns all that much, but you rarely find one nowadays.
What is your daily routine like? How does it differ to your routine before the apocalypse?
Well before the apocalypse I used to get up, make coffee and read through the news before hurrying off to work and now I get up, drink whatever I get and prepare to go out and get supplies or help around the camp if I’m needed.
If you were to die today, what would you like people to remember you by?
My bravery. I don’t want to have done all this shit for people to remember me as a wuss.
