Though with her, Trust is earned, not given.

History: Serina grew up in the southern part of Texas in the city of San Antonio, The daughter of a factory worker and a Sunday school teacher her childhood was uneventful for the most part. Having formed a small group of friends throughout her school years she was introduced to aspects of the medical field through the mother of one of her best friends, Jamie's mother was an RN and as the years passed and Serina heard more and more stories from Jamie's mother it didn't take much for her to decide that it was what she wanted to do with her life.

Making her way through High School Serina unrolled in in medical school the year after she graduated, graduating top of her class she had won a scollarship that allowed her to attend the first year for free and thanks to a smart move on her parents part there was ample amounts of money in their savings to pay for the rest. Getting through medical school Serina Took up a job to be closer to her family. Having opted to stay with her parents to save money until she could afford her own place Serina grew especially close to her younger sister Mari, They did everything together; Movies, Concerts you name it. As the years went by Serina moved out and got her own place, met a few girls, fell in love a couple of times, but none of them lasted.

Needing a change of scenery Serina took a job in Maine, about a forty minute drive from Bar Harbor. Her departure brought with it a great amount of grief from her younger sister and in the end she ended up coming with her. Enrolling her in the local high school Serina and Mari lived a somewhat comfortable life, Having gotten the position she dreamt of Serina was making nearly three thousand a month and the two sisters could want for nothing. That was, Until that fateful day.

When the dead began to walk the hospital Serina worked at was swamped, case after case of people coming in with strange bite marks, a high fever and sweating horribly. People around the hospital started calling it The Green Flu due to the symptoms mirroring that of the flu they all knew. This flu though, had a second, more sinister aspect to it though. Something about it remained active after the host died and once brainwaves stopped it hijacked its way in and reanimated them, almost like Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, The Zombie Fungus of Brazil. Once reanimated they seemed to only have one thing on their minds, consume the living.

Having fled the hospital after they were overrun Serina returned to fetch her sister, The two escaped the city and stayed in the backcountry for a time, but Serina felt terrible for ripping Mari away from what she knew, she could tell she felt alienated in the bushes and dirt paths. So the two began searching for a new home. A few months of searching they had found their way to what remained of the Bar Harbor bridge, it had been destroyed which to Serina had brought a sliver of hope. If someone had blown the bridge then they could very possibly be alive and kicking on the island.

Getting to the island their assumption proved true as they were greeted with people, all of them seemed nice at first, especially the leader. A bald man that went by the name "Big Dick", Things were good for a month or two, but the longer they stayed the more they began to notice that everything wasn't as it seemed, Dick ruled the island with an iron fist and his group of henchmen didn't hesitate when it came to violence.

Together the sisters decided that they should find a new place to call home and so that next night they packed their belongings and headed towards the gate. Getting there though they were stopped and brought before Big Dick who repromended them harshly, he warned that with them, you either stay, or you die. There was no leaving. This didn't sit well with Serina and out of fear for her younger sister as well as anger towards the tyrant that Big Dick had proven to be she tried yet again to get them out off the island. Perhaps find the rebels that Dick always talked about wanting to squash.

Trying again to get out of the town the two sisters made their way to the gate, this time though they tried to time it with the changing of the guards. They almost made it too, but one of Dicks goons, the main one, a ruthless man named Everette caught them. Once again they were brought to his office and once again they were in the fire. This time though, there was no escape. Mari was imprisoned and Dick warned that if she disobeyed him, even once, that she was dead. Being forced to follow his command Dick gave her the "honorary" title of Lieutenant. It meant nothing to her.

As the months passed she was forced to do things that she hated. Yelling at people, Hurting people, the nine. It came to a head when she was told to kill the young deputy that they had been holding. Not wanting to kill anyone Serina devised a plan to hurt him, hurt him to the point he would pass out and Dick would be satisfied he was dead before secretly nursing him back to health and helping him escape. The plan backfired though as Dick ordered Everette to follow her and make sure she finished the job. That was the first and only time she killed anyone, but it seemed that it had earned her a black mark with one of the old members of the town, one that had been there far before she and her sister arrived, a blonde named Mikayla.

When the forest people attacked Serina had been tasked with finding the culprit who had pushed one of their own. Trying and failing she returned to Dick empty handed, he seemed alright with it, annoyed but he was willing to give her a second try. Thankful she set to the task. But two days later her world came crashing down. Each week on Friday she was allowed to visit her sister for three hours. It was a time she cherished. This time though, She was met by Everette at the door, he wore a sadistic smile and chuckled as he passed. Reaching her cell Serina found her younger sister in a pool of blood gasping for air, a gunshot wound had ripped though her stomach and chest, ripping her right lung to shreds. She died in her arms.

Devastated and full of rage at Dick and his goons Serina began distancing herself from them, she grew cold and didn't talk much. When a new face showed up and was housed with her she hated the thought of being charged with yet another person that would probably end up dead in a week if she didn't follow the dictators rules. But, as the weeks passed she started finding a certain connection with her, she couldn't talk or hear for that part but she always looked at her like she was ready to listen to anything that Serina had to say, it gave her an outlet to get everything off her chest.

Having taken to sitting at the peer after her sister had died to feel closer to her Serina caught a glimpse of Joe a few times, one time even going as far to follow her. Seeing that she was meeting with Mikayla she began putting two and two together. Being part of big dicks inner circle she knew of the forest group and threat that Dick thought they posed to the town, Now it seemed that they had spies inside. A fact that would have been relayed to Dick had her younger sister still been alive, But the fact was that she wasn't, and Serina had no reason to relay this information to the backstabbing asshat that ordered her sisters killing.

Giving up on finding whoever pushed the kid off the roof of the High School Serina soon found herself on the chopping block. Having been given the offical execution date from their favorite neighborhood goon Everette Serina wanted to get even. Intentionally she began talking about the locations of the forest group leaders family members that Dick held as his leverage and began passing notes to Joe explaining more.

When the battle began Serina found herself tied up in city hall, mere hours away from being killed. Thankfully though she had managed to keep at least a handful of friends and as the fighting started she was released. Escaping the burning building Serina had begun to slip away when a young teen was shot, Not able to ignore her passed she rushed out to aid her and was yet again captured. Now her fait lies with them. What happens next she doesn't know. Will they spare her and let her go? or will they be out for blood due to what she had been forced to do in her tenure there? Only time will tell.
