OC IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE: Lani Liu from Outer Banks in The Last of Us 2.
*Spoilers for TLOU2*
"You never told me how you got here, princess — what's funny?" "No one's called me princess in a long time." "Everyone here calls you princess." "Not to my face." "Oh." "Um — but I'm from North Carolina. There was this little base camp over there for quite awhile — lots of rich families from the island and soldiers who volunteered their time to help protect everyone. Figured out if you shut down the two roads to get onto the island, there wouldn't be as many infected or raiders that could get in. We could live in peace, and we did for long time. I grew up there — had an actual childhood on the beach. And when people started to figure out what we had, they tried to get in...Night after night, we were woken up by gunfire and as the sun rose, we buried the bodies of people who protected us for years." "Wow." "One night — uh — I was on the beach with my best friend. We weren't supposed to be there after dark, but we didn't care and we wanted to have a bonfire...Um, she died that night — there was some runners, and we had less soldiers to protect us. The next week the entire island was overrun by infected and raiders, so my boyfriend and I left and traveled west...Got found by Tommy in Nebraska, I think." "Boyfriend?" "Yeah. He didn't make it all the way to Jackson — I lost him before I met Tommy." "I'm sorry." "It's OK. I met Ellie and — Joel when I got here. And you know what happened after that..."
