Biography
Before Day Z:
- Kayleigh was a loner. A child of fortune and inheritor of an important name, she was pampered and kept strictly within the confines of high society, little more than an accessory to her parents. She may as well have been an only child too, as they did their best to conceal the existence of her older, disabled brother. But she adored him.
- High school offered a brief solace for Kayleigh - her first true friendships were started here and, to the chagrin of her parents, they could no longer keep her from mingling with whom she chose, rather than whom they had pre-approved.
- At 17, Kayleigh was in the middle of fighting her parents over which college she would go to - her best friend's or the prestigious one they had chosen - when the Red Eye plague hit.
After Day Z:
- Kayleighs' parents' survival plan was clear. Kayleigh was dragged to the secluded summer estate of one of the family's close friends. Here they holed up and waited for the whole thing to blow over. But of course, it never did.
- Over the course of many months, Kayleigh watched as desperate people were turned and even chased away from the estate as they pleaded to be let into safety. Men, women and children, more desperate and destitute as time went on. Kayleigh's fathers words to her were forever etched in her mind: "It's either them or us."
- Their safe haven didn't last. A horde made short work of the estate, and in a few hours everyone but Kayleigh had succumbed.
- Kayleigh fled upstate to the only other home she knew of, the assisted living home of her brother. To her surprise, not only was it still standing, it was fairly well guarded and supplied as well. She joined her brother and was quickly welcomed into the community that had built around the place.
- Here, she was inspired by a new outlook on life. The survival of her brother was solely due to the dedication of the workers who had decided to stay behind. From her brother's personal caretaker she learned that it's the responsibility of those able to look after those less able - and that you never know when those roles may be reversed.
- Kayleigh learned this lesson on her own when the community happened on times that were leaner and less secure. After a bad horde attack the community was left barely standing, and had no choice but to enlist the help of the nearby gang-like community. They promised to keep them safe, for a price. Kayleighs community shared in their harvest and trades, in exchange for the gang keeping hordes and bandits at bay. But when times returned to normal, the gang remained - and now, rather than a mutually beneficial relationship, Kayleighs community found themselves paying off the gang for their continued safety instead. Once little more than another mouth to feed, Kayleigh now had to take a more active role to help keep the threats of the gang at bay.
- It wasn't enough. Kayleigh and other young adults were enlisted to help the gang with their own 'businessses' - be it keep hordes or bandits off their own grounds, or more shady, unmentionable things. In order to survive, Kayleigh was trained in the art of self-defense by a grizzled old veteran with whom she developed a begrudging kinship.
- During one of her 'missions', things went sour and Kayleigh was caught in the blast of an explosion. Her face was half-burnt and a shrapnel tore open her throat, an inch from ending her life altogether. But her voice was forever lost.
- Some time after, as resources dwindled once again, it was decided in the community that something had to be done about this situation. Four scouts were sent out in each their own direction to find continued funds - with the additional mission to try and locate an alternative place for all of them to move to, if such a thing was possible. Kayleigh volunteered to be the fifth.
- Under the guise of having abandoned the community, the five of them left in the middle of the night. Leaving her brother was the hardest thing Kayleigh ever had to do, but she knew she would only be able to help him as long as she stayed alive.
- Kayleigh travelled for many months, northward. Her destination: New York.
