Runner Five: Alicia Emily Bright
The OG, my traumatised baby, who I will protect with my life but also trauma dump on.Ā
Has left side Hemiplegia.
Is neurodivergent AF (autism)
diagnosed with GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder)
Very sensitive to loud noises, wet clothing and mess on her skin.
Selective mute due to anxiety from the helicopter crash and autism.
Had to kill her zombified mother with a kitchen knife on day zero.
Also had to shoot her younger brother, Louis, at Mullins after he was bitten a few weeks before she arrived at Abel.
Is currently dating Sam Yao, and is actually engaged to him (as of season 6).
Short sighted.
Huge Nerd. Will talk about Doctor Who and Red Dwarf for hours if you let her. Loves DnD.
Has an emotional support puppy by the name of Scraps, a Jack Russell Terrier who she rescued in season 2 and whom she adores. To lose him would literally be like losing a child to her. He is her baby. It sure would be a shame if something happened to him, say for example, someone killed him at the end of season 5.Ā
Forgets to look after herself constantly, potentially has a death wish (or at least thats Abel Townshipās theory), will kill and be killed for those she loves.Ā Ā
