[color=E8C76A]▪ Name ▪[/color]
[indent]Elizabeth Harmony Lake (Lizzie)[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Gender ▪[/color]
[indent]Female[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Age ▪[/color]
[indent]Twenty-three[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Appearance ▪[/color]
[indent]She is rather short for her age, petite and slender, with sandy brown hair and fair skin. Her brown eyes are slightly almond shaped, but can open up to be very wide. She appears to be generally quite light in weight, around a hundred pounds or so. She wears no piercings, even in her ears.[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Birth State ▪[/color]
[indent]Brighton, Sussex, England. Moved to Manhattan, New York, just shortly before all hell broke loose[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Family members ▪[/color]
[indent]No one. Just Lizzie[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Role/Occupation ▪[/color]
[indent]Student Doctor[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Starting Fortune ▪[/color]
[indent]A large grey backpack with a red cross on the back, filled with a spare change of clothes, a first aid kit, a bottle of drinking water, food, a small laptop and a specialized survival knife. A pocket purse with a few hundred dollars. A cell phone and a charger (Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) if you must know). A briefcase filled with documents detailing what little research was done concerning the virus taken from Patient Zero.[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Strengths ▪[/color]
[indent]Resilient. Quick-thinking. Intelligent. Organized. Thinks outside the box. Strong Swimmer. Fleet-footed. Boat-handling.

Lizzie is a lot tougher than even she realizes, and is capable of brilliant solutions when she's not second-guessing herself. She is highly organized in an obsessive-compulsive and unorthodox manner, and a quick learner, with a fairly impressive memory. Not the kind to settle for a standard answer or solution, she often seeks out things others wouldn't think of seeking in order to achieve success. It was what allowed her to survive a spreading virus that had already overtaken New York and yet escape relatively unscathed. It helps that she is also a fast runner, has knowledge on boats and living on the seaside, and can swim.[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Weaknesses ▪[/color]
[indent]Insecure. Self-doubting. Overthinks things. Easily frightened. Panic-prone. Lousy combatant. Unstrategic. Easily distracted.

Smart though she may be, Lizzie is a very nervous and skittish person even without coffee. She often thinks things over too much, or obsesses over the tiny details in an effort to cover any margin of error, but as a result takes too long, and it doesn't help that she's full of doubts of her own abilities and feels no security in what she knows. She also can't fight to save her life, and gives in to panic if she gets overwhelmed by aggressors, rendering her quite useless in a fight. Her jumpy nature causes her to get easily distracted by almost anything.[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Greatest Fear ▪[/color]
[indent]The undead. Seeing something that, by all intents and means, is dead, and yet moving? Call mother. Now.[/indent]
[color=E8C76A]▪ Background/History ▪[/color]
[indent]Born and raised by the seaside in Brighton, England, Lizzie had a fisherman and a seamstress for parents, and went into medical school through a scholarship. She was a prodigy of sorts, picked up things quickly, and had a promising career ahead of her. She became interested in the study of bacteria and diseases and their effects in humanity's history. After several years in Hampton University and a hospital near her own hometown, she received a foreign internship in the US, which brought her to Manhattan, New York, and a fine hospital to work in, when things took a turn for the worst.

A dock worker had been brought in after exposure to a spore-like fungi in a container that came from South America caused the man to become rabid and incoherrent. He had attacked several co-workers, reportedly biting and scratching. Lizzie worked with a doctor who extracted blood samples and began to make notes. Unfortunately, nurses working on the dock worker began to exhibit similar symptoms due to the presence of the spores on the man's body. Before too long, the entire hospital was spreading with the rabid infection. Lizzie only barely escaped after collecting all the data into a briefcase.

She briefly took shelter in her rented apartment, taking stock of the situation, and before media outlets stopped broadcasting, learnt that the infection had since spread into the city itself. Packing all that she could find of use, Lizzie cautiously evaded the undead in the streets, until she made it dockside, where she commandeered a luxury speedboat and began to make her journey southwards, in hopes of finding uninfected survivors, and a working lab or hospital, where she could continue to figure out the cause of the infections and how to stop it.[/indent]
