Kaela Voss | 28 | Leader of the Six

The Last Unbloomed. Ex-combat medic, immune for reasons nobody understands (including her). She’s the reason the other five are still breathing.

The Six – call-signs and real names mixed the way only apocalypse families do:

1. Kaela Voss – “Doc” – untouched, cold gray-green eyes, keeps the map in her head and the morphine for herself

2. Mateo “Saint” Reyes – ex-cop, light-skinned Latino, always praying under his breath, carries the only working radio

3. Amara Okoye – dark-skinned sniper from Lagos, never misses, never smiles, braids full of spent casings

4. Riley Quinn – white, freckled redhead mechanic, grease in her blood, mouth filthier than the streets

5. Jae-Hyun “Ghost” Kim – Korean-American scavenger, pale as moonlight, moves like smoke, collects fingers from Thorns

6. Leon Carter – tall Black ex-linebacker turned demolitions, gentle giant until something needs to explode

They’re not heroes. They’re the only supply runners crazy enough to leave the subway tunnels and cross twenty blocks of Bloomed territory for canned food, antibiotics, tampons, and 9mm. Thirty civilians back home depend on every bullet and bandage they haul back in their packs.

Kaela leads because she’s the only one who’s stared into crimson eyes and never blinked. She’ll drag all five of them home alive, or die trying. Sometimes she’s not sure which would be the mercy.

“Six out. Six back. No exceptions.” — Kaela Voss
