Main Character:

Name: Rachel Wood.

Age: 35 years old.

Personal History:

Rachel met Mark when she was 18 and at 20 became pregnant with their son, Richard. Her life has been marked by a constant struggle between her ambitions and a family that became a burden. She inherited the sculptural beauty of her mother, a legacy of which she is fully aware and has used to her advantage. The death of her father three years ago was a relief to her; a man she describes as a "damned bastard" and whose departure she celebrated with a drunken binge, a marked contrast to her sister Natalia's mourning. Despite numerous opportunities and her strong sexual drive, she never cheated on Mark, not out of loyalty to him, but out of deep self-respect and an unbreakable personal code.

Physical Appearance:

Rachel is a woman of striking, natural beauty. She has long, straight, silky raven-black hair that reaches her waist and accentuates her figure. Her eyes are an intense and sensual blue, contrasting dramatically with her pale skin. She has full, fleshy lips of a natural pink that need no adornment. Her body is curvaceous and well-proportioned, with wide hips and a thin waist. Pregnancy only enhanced her figure, increasing her bust from a C cup to a D, remaining firm with soft, pink-toned nipples. Disciplined Pilates practice allowed her to quickly regain her original weight, sculpting a physique that is both strong and sensual.

Clothing:

Before the apocalypse, her style was an elegant provocation: fitted skirts, dresses with necklines that highlighted her attributes without being vulgar, and high heels. Now, her outfit is a reflection of her new world: pragmatic but without sacrificing her essence. She wears fitted pants made of a resistant material, a short-sleeved shirt, and over it, a blue and black checkered shirt rolled up to the elbows. She wears leather boots with a slight heel, chosen for their functionality, durability, and because, even at the end of the world, they allow her to maintain an air of power and sensuality. Her appearance screams that, in spite of everything, she is still Rachel Wood.

Personality:

Rachel is a bold, direct, and deeply pragmatic woman, but not cold. Quite the opposite: she is passionate, stubborn, and possesses a fieriness that she applies to everything she does. She is the antithesis of a damsel in distress; she is not afraid to get her hands dirty and faces obstacles with fierce tenacity. If she doesn't know how to do something, she tries again and again until she succeeds, or until frustration momentarily overcomes her, only to then resume it with a cool head. She is bisexual, but her life has been limited to a few relationships.

She loves her son, Richard, with a fierce, protective loyalty, but it deeply annoys her that he resembles his father so much in character and appearance, which has created an emotional barrier that manifests as a lack of displays of affection. It's not that she is incapable of being affectionate; in fact, she has an intense protective and maternal side, but the constant frustration her son generates in her makes her see him with a resignation that she herself labels as "something natural."

Skills:

• Pragmatism and Leadership: Her career as a successful real estate agent in San Frey endowed her with sharp social intelligence, negotiation skills, and an innate ability to take charge in chaotic situations.

• Self-Defense: She completed two four-month courses, learning basic but effective techniques to neutralize threats. She knows how to apply holds, strike vulnerable points, and break free from an attacker.

• First Aid: She possesses fundamental knowledge to treat wounds, bleeding, and perform CPR, knowledge she acquired proactively to feel safe in her work.

• Mental Fortitude: She is incredibly resilient. She adapts to circumstances, manages frustration, and maintains calm under pressure better than most. Her greatest strength is her iron will.

Secondary Characters:

Mark Wood:

Age: 45 years old.

Appearance: A man of average height who still retains vestiges of a handsomeness that is rapidly deteriorating. He has light brown, straight, unkempt hair, with some pronounced receding hairlines. His eyes are a dull hazel color, frequently bloodshot. His physique, once athletic, now shows the flabbiness of a sedentary life and excesses, with an incipient beer belly and the slouching posture of someone who has lost his pride.

Clothing: He wears brand-name but neglected clothing: a wrinkled polo shirt, stained chino pants, and expensive but dirty sneakers. In the apocalypse, his clothes have become even more ragged, with him showing no interest in maintaining them.

Personality: Arrogant, lazy, and profoundly egocentric. He believes he is the "brains" of the operation despite not contributing significantly. He is whiny, evasive, and prefers to delegate any physical or mental work to others, especially Rachel. His bravery is non-existent and he resorts to sarcasm and criticism to mask his incompetence and insecurity.

Skills: Almost non-existent. He is terrible at household chores, has no survival instinct, and his aim is terrible. His only skill, if it can be called that, is a manipulative rhetoric to try to get his way, which has lost its effectiveness now that the world has gone to hell.

---

Richard Wood:

Age: 15 years old.

Appearance: A thin, pale young man with messy dark brown hair that often covers his eyes. He inherited his father's hazel eyes, but in him, they have a spark of intelligence that he usually hides. He spends so much time hunched over his devices (or what remains of them) that he has a slight but constant slouching posture.

Clothing: Typical teenage clothing: loose hoodies with video game logos, ripped jeans, and sneakers. In the crisis, his clothing has become more practical but equally unkempt.

Personality: Distant, sarcastic, and disconnected from his family. Before the apocalypse, his world revolved around his cell phone, his video games, and his "girlfriend". Now, he clings to that pop-culture knowledge as a frame of reference for the new and terrible reality. He is more observant than he seems, but lacks the emotional maturity to process the trauma, taking refuge in cynicism and passivity.

Skills: Surprisingly, he is the more useful of the two men in the family after Rachel. His exposure to survival and zombie video games has given him a theoretical understanding of basic tactics, ambushes, and the psychology of the infected. He is agile and can be ingenious with technology, although his practical combat or hunting skills are non-existent.

Natalia (Rachel's Sister):

Age: 42 years old.

Appearance: A woman with a serious face marked by a life of austerity. She has brown hair pulled back into a bun so tight it stretches the skin on her forehead. Her eyes, the same color as Rachel's but colder and more critical, seem to always be judging. Her body is thin and rigid, with no room for frivolity.

Clothing: Always modest and functional clothing, even before the apocalypse: long dresses, neutral colors, loose sweaters. Her appearance screams "voluntary repression".

Personality: Prudish, dogmatic, and deeply religious. She considers Rachel's worldly and successful life as empty and sinful. She is morally rigid and does not hesitate to express her disapproval. Her faith is her shield and her spear, and she probably sees the apocalypse as a "divine punishment" that she, of course, foresaw.

Skills: She is resilient and has a steely mental fortitude based on her faith. She probably has practical knowledge of basic agriculture, food preservation, and herbal medicine, skills she would have disdained for considering them "for simple folk".

---

Alex (Natalia's Husband):

Age: 45 years old.

Appearance: A man of thin build, with slumped shoulders and a permanent smile that is more uncomfortable than friendly. He has dull, thin blond hair and light blue eyes that blink nervously.

Clothing: Informal but conservative clothing: ironed trousers, button-up shirts up to the neck, even in informal contexts.

Personality: The husband "who talks a lot". He is conversational, but in a superficial and evasive way. He is the perfect follower, always in agreement with Natalia's dogmas, lacking his own opinion. He is annoying due to his verbosity and his lack of substance.

Skills: Probably office or trade skills, completely useless in the new world. His main "talent" is talking without saying anything, which can be a dangerous distraction.

---

Alexandra (Daughter of Natalia and Alex):

Age: 17 years old.

Appearance: A young woman who used her natural beauty to rebel. She has ash-blonde hair, but often dyed it vibrant colors that now look faded. Her blue eyes, inherited from her father, are full of disdain and boredom. She has a mocking and condescending smile.

Clothing: Before the end of the world, her style was a calculated provocation against her parents: tight clothing, miniskirts, and excessive makeup. Now, that clothing is impractical, but she clings to it as a symbol of her lost identity.

Personality: The "slut of the Christian family". She is defiant, disrespectful, and has a sharp intelligence that she uses to manipulate and mock others, especially her parents and cousins. She is selfish and bitter about the strict upbringing she received, looking for any crack to exert her freedom.

Skills: She is cunning, a compulsive liar, and has a developed instinct for emotional manipulation. She is physically agile and could be ruthless if the situation requires it, but she lacks physical strength and any practical survival skills.

---

Camelia (Richard's "Girlfriend"):

Age: 17 years old.

Appearance: A girl with an air of superiority. She has straight, black hair cut shoulder-length, and large brown eyes that know how to appear innocent or mocking. She is aware of her attractiveness and has used it as currency.

Clothing: Always fashionable, with clothes that highlight her figure. In the apocalyptic context, her expensive clothes are now stained and torn, a reminder of what she has lost.

Personality: Superficial, calculating, and opportunistic. She was only with Richard for his good grades, which she used for academic gain. She is egocentric and lacks genuine empathy. In a crisis, her first instinct would be to save herself, probably betraying anyone.

Skills: Her main skill is social manipulation. She knows how to flatter, lie, and play with others' emotions for her benefit. She possesses no physical or practical survival skills.

---

Karen (Gossipy Neighbor):

Age: 52 years old.

Appearance: A middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair in a "bob" cut that has become uneven and greasy. She has small, curious gray eyes, always scrutinizing. Expression lines around her mouth betraying her constant desire to talk.

Clothing: Middle-upper-class housewife clothing: leggings, loose blouses, and a cardigan. She wears a light jacket with many pockets that she now uses to store her "findings".

Personality: Meddlesome, critical, and gossipy. Before the end of the world, her life revolved around other people's affairs. Now, that trait has intensified, using information as a form of power and insertion into the group. She is annoying, but her knowledge of the community and its residents can be unexpectedly useful.

Skills: Extreme observation of social and physical details. She knows the secrets of most of the survivors, making her a source of information (and conflict). She is not a fighter, but she is persistent and has an endurance for gossip that translates to the search for resources.

---

Jackson (The Policeman):

Age: 48 years old.

Appearance: A burly, overweight man who tries to project an authority he no longer possesses. He has short, graying hair, cut in a crew cut, and small brown eyes that avoid direct contact. His posture tries to be firm, but it crumbles under pressure.

Clothing: He still wears his sweaty and stained police uniform, hoping the symbol of authority will grant him some respect. The badge is tarnished and the uniform has become tight on him.

Personality: Arrogant, cowardly, and incompetent. He boasts about his training and his weapon (a Glock without a silencer), but he is a terrible shot and his first instinct is to hide or send others into danger. He is the stereotype of a bully with a badge, now stripped of all the structure that backed him.

Skills: Basic police training, though rusty. He knows how to hold a weapon, but his aim is notoriously bad. His cowardice makes him unpredictable and unreliable in a fight. His greatest value is the weapon he carries, not him.

---

Amanda (The "Community Slut"):

Age: 38 years old.

Appearance: An attractive, well-kept woman who has managed to maintain part of her appearance despite the crisis. She has long, blonde hair, now a bit tangled, and seductive green eyes that constantly calculate. Her body is slim and toned, a testament to her previous life of leisure and the gym.

Clothing: Expensive, tight-fitting clothing chosen to provoke: crop tops, tight jeans, and high boots. Her style is impractical for the apocalypse, but she maintains it as part of her identity and her main weapon.

Personality: Self-confident, manipulative, and opportunistic. She uses her sexuality and her attractiveness as tools for negotiation and survival. She is the woman Rachel suspected was having an affair with Mark, not out of love, but out of boredom and to assert her power. She is selfish and ruthless, but smart enough not to show her hand immediately.

Skills: Advanced sexual and social manipulation. She is physically agile and has a highly developed survival instinct, though based on taking advantage of others rather than self-sufficiency. She knows how to get what she wants from men, a skill that, for now, has worked for her.
