|[i]History[/i]|
Young and headstrong in her teenage years, Ellie paved her way through high-school the best she could. She was the cheer captain, varsity basketball player, and second in her grade. Many would expect her to be preppy, and she has definitely heard her fair share of blonde jokes. Elizabeth is a very intellectual student, no matter her strong personality, she always has something stirring in her head. 

All was well for her in school, despite some raunchy taunts here and there. While her life at home, was a little more complex. Her father, who had served in the military for some time, had been discharged for his post-traumatic stress. He had become suicidal. 
Struggling to help her father, retain her grade in school, as well as taking care of herself had become strenuous. The stress had changed her, forced her into a maturity that someone of her age should naturally fall into over time. Rather, she was ruthlessly forced into this phase. 

When the outbreak hit, her world wasn't turned upside down. It was dragged further into it's dark abyss. Ellie had tried to get her father to come with her, but his mental state ad rapidly declined. Instead, he saw this as "Gods way out". Ellie will never forget the twisted smile she saw that day, framing unkempt face of her father, just before he ran out of the patio door, and into the awaiting jaws of death. As shaken as she was, her body still found a way to function. She grabbed her father's army pack, which she had filled with canned food, bottles of water, spare clothes, and mounted her father's handgun. As she headed away from her house that day, it took all that she had not to look back.
