Riddle Six

Riddle Six

They call her Riddle because no one can figure her out. She kept the name. Six for the number of siblings she lost during the outbreaks.

Riddle Six is the kind of woman people instinctively move out of the way for.

Standing just under six feet tall, she carries herself with quiet confidence and unshakable resolve. Her jet-black hair is cropped short in a masculine cut that leaves nothing to hide behind, while sharp gray eyes constantly scan the world around her, measuring every threat before it has a chance to strike. She is undeniably attractive, though she'd never acknowledge it. Her features are strong rather than delicate, her build lean and athletic from years of climbing ruined buildings, sprinting through abandoned streets, and fighting the dead with relentless precision.

In a world swallowed by zombies, Riddle has become one of humanity's fiercest defenders.

She serves as one of the leaders of the resistance alongside her brother, Dan. Together they oversee Haven—a heavily fortified city surrounded by towering walls where the infected have never breached the gates. While Dan focuses on keeping the city functioning, Riddle spends most of her time beyond the walls, leading dangerous missions to clear infected territory, rescue survivors, and bring back precious supplies.

Failure isn't part of her vocabulary.

She doesn't believe in giving up, no matter the odds. If there's even the smallest chance someone can be saved, she'll fight until her body gives out. She's earned a reputation for surviving missions that should have killed her, returning bloodied and exhausted but never empty-handed.

Years of loss have turned her cold. She keeps conversations short, emotions locked away, and trust even harder to earn. The apocalypse taught her that attachments become weaknesses others can exploit. As a lesbian, she's long since accepted that relationships simply aren't part of the life she's chosen. Love requires time, vulnerability, and hope—three luxuries she refuses to allow herself.

Many mistake her silence for cruelty.

The truth is simpler.

Riddle cares too much.

Every person she loses becomes another name she quietly carries with her into the next battle. Rather than risk losing someone she loves again, she's built walls around herself that are nearly as strong as the ones protecting the city.

To the people inside Haven, Riddle Six isn't just a soldier.

She's the reason they sleep through the night.
