Biography
For Lorelai Cross, the world didn’t end when the dead began to walk. It ended when her mother lost her life to breast cancer when she was only twelve years old. Only a year later, the rest of the world followed suit. She was left to face the apocalypse with her father - a man who could barely make it a few hours without a drink in hand.
Lorelai grew up in Rochester, New York in a studio apartment with her mother and father. The Cross family barely scraped by to make ends meet with her father unable to keep a steady job and spending most of their money on cigarettes and booze. Her mother was sick for most of Lori’s childhood but tried to be there for her growing daughter as much as she could.
Her mother’s illness didn’t deter her father’s rage. Most nights after drinking, he’d come home looking for a fight with Lorelai as his target. Her mother would typically take the brunt of the abuse to protect her child but there was nothing to protect her after her passing.
Hell on earth was already her reality, and when the dead began to walk she did nothing but hope that her father would join them. The two hunkered down in their apartment for as long as they could. A makeshift prison, in Lorelai’s opinion. He’d often send the young girl out into the dangerous world to retrieve supplies that he was unwilling to get himself such as more liquor and food.
For a year and a half, she was trapped with him. That was until by the grace of god the apartment building caught fire and forced them from the home. It’s still unclear what started it, but Lori has been forever grateful.
The two began on the road together, bouncing from group to group after her father would inevitably upset a member or do something to get them exiled. His abuse didn’t stop, even when he ran out of drink. If anything, it got more intense. For the next 10 years, she was forced to parent her father, bathe him, feed him, clothe him, keep him safe. She never truly understood why she did it either. Some sort of familial obligation that kept her miserable.
It wasn’t until she stumbled upon Monroe with her father in tow that she felt she finally found somewhere to belong - even if her attitude may not show it. The pair were quickly set up with housing and Lorelai poured herself into supporting the community, going as far as to join the security team to defend the people inside even though that included her father. While Lorelai works, her father finds himself in the strip club, bar and tucked away in their home nursing hangovers, always leaving his daughter to clean up and pay for the mess he left behind.
