Alias: Alex or Andria.
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Faction: Fireflies
Role: Second-in-command of the fireflies.
Location: Salt Lake City
Physical Description: Alex is five feet ten inches, she is 153 lbs, she is average built, however she is slightly more muscular than an average women from all the fighting and running. Her hair reaches just above her breasts and it is blonde with a hint of brown. She usually ties it in a ponytail to keep it out of her face. Especially when she's outside St. Mary's Hospital. Her eyes are grey like a stormy cloud. She has a few scars covering her body, mainly because of her adventures but also because of the fights she had.
Personality: Alex tries her best to make good decisions and stay a good person as her past haunts her each day. However when someone or something makes her lose her temper it is nearly impossible to calm her down. Last time she lost her temper... Well let's just say it wasn't pretty.
Alex likes her friends the most, even though she doesn't have many they're the ones that are always there for her on both her good and bad days. She also enjoys warm weather because you don't have to try as hard to survive, not needing any jacket nor a big fire at night, etc... Hunting is most likely her favorite pass time as she likes to be with nature and she is an extremely patient person. She also loves danger and the adrenaline that follows it, she's not the type of person to voluntarily jump into danger however but when danger does arrive she loves the thrill. She also loves shooting guns, the power that they hold and the way she feels when she shoots them. As many people, she dislikes the infected, especially clickers they're just creepy as hell. She dislikes cold weather as you need to do more to survive, make big fires, get lots of warm clothes, gloves, hats, etc... Alex is a stealthy and quiet person, therefore she dislikes people who are loud and clumsy. This is more of a fear than a dislike but being alone is a big no-no for her.
Alignment: Alex tries to stay a good person, however it does not always work out that way.
Likes: Friends, warm weather, hunting, danger and guns.
Dislikes: Infected, cold weather, loud people, being alone.
Strengths: Stealthy, good at climbing and a good aim.
Weaknesses: Not good at hand to hand combat. Her temper.
History and Background: Alex was five years old when the apocalypse happened, she lived in the capitol of Canada, which was Ottawa. Her family consisted of her father, Jacob Trudell, her mother, Myriam Trudell and her big brother Kevin Trudell. Her father was the type of person who always knew the end of the world was around the corner, he wasn't as bad as most people but he did have a small shelter built within the basement. So when the first day of the pandemic started and as the military rolled through the city, her father asked them what was happening and in response the soldier simply told them "Stay in your home until further notice, sir." That's when their father brought them to the bunker. Inside were two bunk beds, lots of food and water as well as some guns and ammo.
They stayed there for about three months before their food ran out, Jacob handed everybody but Alex a gun and together they headed outside their home, bodies littered the streets, military vehicles were abandoned and screeches could be heard from afar. They grabbed everything they could scavenge from their home and headed into their SUV, luckily no one took their gas or other parts of their vehicle. Their father stepped on the gas and headed towards the highway. "We're going to uncle Gavin's." Said their father as they were heading west. Obviously the small city he lived in was in the same state, bodies everywhere, abandoned military checkpoints, infected, etc. and as every sad tale would tell you, their uncle was dead, what shocked their father the most is that Gavin had shot himself, couldn't see the world fall apart Alex supposed.
They lost their mother when Alex was nine, they were on a highway heading from a small town in Canada to the U.S, however they couldn't continue in their truck as other vehicles blocked the road to the other side. So they continued by foot, the infected revealed themselves as the family climbed and squeezed between the vehicles, the infected came from behind them, from under the vehicles. Their father told them to run and so they did, the infected closed in and grabbed the closest person to them, which was sadly their mother. She screamed as the infected bit down onto her, she reached out for her daughter's hand and Beth grabbed it but she was not strong enough to save her mother, she hung on tight but lost grip, the only thing that she hung onto was her wedding ring. Her father looked at the scene in dread and before she could react he carried her into his arms and urged her brother to run. Once they were safe Beth realized what had just happened and she went into shock, luckily her brother and father were there to keep it from getting too serious, the next day, Alex handed her father, Myriam's wedding ring.
Alex was twelve now, they were still traveling, they were in the States now and they simply kept heading west, her sibling and herself were much more mature since the apocalypse and their father slowly became more and more quiet after his lover's death, however he still kept them alive, at all cost. However, it was on that dreadful day that they lost their father. They were crossing a freeway bridge, cars littered the road, night started to fall and the cold was upon them and they made the mistake of making camp on the bridge. A scream echoed through the cold midnight air, she woke up to see her father holding a man by the knife and her brother pointing his gun at two other dark silhouettes who kept insisting that they were simply passing through, until the screech of infected could be heard "Fuck this." Said one of the dark figures and shot through the man that her father was holding, the bullet pierced through the man's body, killing both the man and her father, her brother shot back as he hid behind a car. "Take these," her father said as he handed her her mother and father's wedding rings. "Don't lose them." Then he passed, instead of grief however, it was anger that filled her and she pulled out her pistol and shot back. This went on until her brother and herself killed them both, in the distance they could see dozens of figures running towards them and screeches following, it was the infected, her brother grabbed their things, grabbed her hand and started running, never looking back.
She was nineteen when she was separated from her brother and had to finally face the dangers of the new world by herself. They were searching for supplies inside a mall at the time, they were inside an old hardware store which is when the floor caved-in, her brother fell into the basement, the infected obviously heard that and quickly made their way towards them, her brother told her to run and that he'd meet up with her and she did. She waited hours and he never showed up, however she was far too scared to go look if he was still alive so she left signs here and there telling him that she kept heading west and she hoped that that would be enough for him to find her, if he was alive.
She joined a bandit gang once she was twenty two years old, they used Denver as their base, they terrorized innocent people, killed them and looted them, it wasn't pretty but it kept her away from the dangers that she lived through alone for so many years, however this time she didn't need to face them alone anymore, she met another girl named Gabriella during her time in Denver and they quickly fell in love. Two years after however, Gabriella was raped and was badly injured by two other members of the gang, that's when Beth lost her temper, she violently killed one of the bandits and fed the second to the infected, she then carried her lover away from the danger and stayed by her side until she passed, ever since then she promised herself never to fall in love again.
After a month she found herself in Salt Lake City and found the Fireflies, surprisingly they let her join. There she trained hard to prove herself, she also met a girl named Ruby and they quickly became friends and when Ruby became the leader of the Fireflies she made Alex her second-in-command and so far everything is going well.

Roleplay Example:
Alex was jerked out of her sleep when both a gunshot and a scream echoed through the abandoned church. She looked around the room and quickly stood, grabbing her things when she realized that the other bedrolls were empty. She ran down the stairs and into the congregation room where she saw a scene which would scar her for the rest of her days.
Two men from her bandit group stood over her wounded lover. "Oh, look here comes desert." Said William with a grin. Alex looked at the scene with nothing but dread, the two men stood over her lover as she tried to put pressure on her bullet wound, she then looked back at William and Samuel, it was then that anger replaced her grief. "Don't be so surprised you knew this was--" William reached for his firearm but Alex was quicker and cut him mid-sentence as she shot her enforcer and the bullet pierced through William's wrist and hit Samuel in the gut.
As Samuel fell to the ground she jumped onto William and hit him with the hilt of her pistol, over and over until there was nothing left but blood and... Other bits. She stood, covered in blood and grabbed Samuel by the hair and pulled him towards the church's big wooden double doors. She pushed one open and threw Samuel down the flight of stairs and shot the remaining ammunition in her pistol and walked back into the church when she heard the screeches of incoming infected.
Alex walked back to her lover and picked her up, one arm wrapped around her shoulders and another around her legs. She walked out through the back door and made her way through the outskirts of Denver until they were as safe as they'd get. She sat down against an old, dead, dried-up tree and played with her lover's thick black hair.
"Please," Said Gabriella as a tear dropped down her cheek. "Don't leave me."
"I won't," Replied Alex with a broken voice. "I promise."
She sat there, playing in Gabriella's hair until she passed. Alex laid Gab down on the ground and started digging in the dirt with her hands until there was enough room for her love's body and she gently laid her down within. She grabbed two small sticks from the dead tree and tied them into a cross with her hair elastic and pierced it in the ground at the head of the grave.
She took a deep breath and marched west to whatever might lay ahead for her.
