Ashen Lily grew up on the outskirts of a bustling metropolis, learning early how to survive in shadows. Her childhood was cut short when a sudden, uncharted viral outbreak turned the city into a maze of undead. During the night the first wave hit, her family was lost, and she was left alone in the remains of a commuter train that was wrecked by a catastrophic collision. She clung to life by hiding in the twisted metal and debris, learning to move silently and keep her heart rate low. Those early days forged her into a quiet, cautious survivor who trusts only once and only when she must. She is haunted by the memory of her family’s faces and the sound of their last breath, which keeps her constantly on edge. Her appearance is marked by soot-streaked hair and a torn jacket, a testament to the fight she has endured. She is a survivor, a protector in her own faint way, and the last remnant of humanity she has found so far.
