Overall Personality: In general, Ziggy is a pleasant person to be around. Always optimistic and enthusiastic whenever something needs done, and she's always the first to volunteer if it means doing something dangerous. A thrill seeker even before the apocalypse, she enjoys being in the thick of the apocalypse and even thrives in it. You might even say she's born for it. She's loyal and sweet to those closest to her, but can be the complete opposite of people she doesn't like, not afraid to sling insults at people's heads and pushing them to the edge. Knowing she'll probably never see her family in Germany again, she cares little for her own well-being and if she's gotta die, she intends to deserve it.


History: Ziggy was born and raised in Aachen, Germany as the daughter of two high school teachers. She had relatively careless youth and was a good student most of the time. In her teen years she was introduced to the marvelous world of punkrock, and took up skateboarding as a hobby. Having run-ins with the police on regular intervals for skateboarding on places she wasn't supposed to be, she grew weary of authority figures having already a rebellious nature from herself.

After high school she applied for an American college and got accepted into the University of Vermont studying sociology. As intelligent as she was, she didn't have much trouble keeping up with the courses and often skipped lectures, choosing to party and live the real American college life instead doing only the bare minimum to keep her in school. She was often lectured by one professor that she was wasting her academic talent and that she could do so much more with her life. It only caused Ziggy to party even harder than she did before and she ended up in jail one time for being drunk and disorderly.

Unfortunately that one night in jail was the evening of the walker-apocalypse. Ziggy barely escaped the police station, having been released by a young cop who wouldn't have her death on her conscience. As it turned out, Ziggy befriended the young cop, who was called Brittany, and they became friends over time, even lovers. It was the first same sex relation Ziggy ever had. Unfortunately, about a year in, Brittany was killed by a group of bandits and Ziggy was made their prisoner.

After having seduced one of the bandits, Ziggy got him to release her bounds in order to have sex, and after the deed she killed the man by stabbing him with his own knife, taking his weapons and running away. She has been on her own ever since, but hopes to find some good people to be with soon.
