Hunter Sisters my beloved <3

She’s the protagonist of one show and the deuteragonist of another. Both are Welsh-language kids shows, and on the internet you don’t get more obscure than that! Prosiect Z is a gameshow about kids who need to solve escape rooms to escape their school in a zombie apocalypse, without getting infected themselves. Alys is the voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie, offering hints and guidance. And if the kids are successful, she’s their getaway driver, risking her own life to help them escape. She does this to make up for the fact she was one of the scientists who worked on the device which caused the zombie apocalypse, even though she realised the risk and tried to warn people - until she was captured by the company to silence her. And by the time she manages to escape it’s too late, so she tries to help people survive instead. Itopia is basically a retelling and reimagining of the backstory for Prosiect Z. In it, Alys is revealed to be the worlds most overprotective sister (to a very rebellious teenager, which goes as well as you’d imagine). She also takes responsibility for everyone around her, and blames herself for anything bad that happens to them - which, in a zombie apocalypse show, means she carries around a lot of guilt and emotional baggage. The apocalypse in Itopia is a very soft one, with lots of teamwork and humanity banding together. Also, Alys doesn’t have a love interest, with most of her emotional drive coming from her relationship with her sister, and the platonic bonds she forms with people around her. Also she’s my blorbo of all time. Vote for her if you like Women in STEM, Welsh people, overprotective siblings and people being crushed by guilt. 

Our heros have sought shelter in a school. Hijinks ensue.
