survival instinct
By the time they'd reached Arizona, their morale was at its lowest yet. A wide morning sun peaked over the horizon, long ribbons of light making way through dusty cacti to reach the road where they stood, long shadows trailing behind them. Looking across the arid desert, Francesca focused only on her determination to keep pressing forward; they had to reach the coast soon if they wanted to live.She ignored the empty feeling in her stomach. Francesca and her father were tired and they were hungry. They'd rationed the little food they'd salvaged from the gas station a few days back, but it hadn't really provided much energy. "At least," Francesca sighed, "the view is breathtaking, and there's not so much threat of an attack round here."
Always the optimist.
She spoke with an unmistakable Nashville drawl, and the Southern belle she'd once been occasionally slipped out from behind her stern exterior shell. Dirt marked a cheek and her eyes, the colour of reseda, were circled beneath in the tired blue colour of fading bruises. A make-shift bandage twisted up one arm, and her body was littered with cuts and bruises. All the same, she had retained all the beauty - albeit faded - of a debutante.
Thus far, their journey had not been without difficulty, to say the least. Zombies can be disagreeable at the best of times.

After Francesca's mother died during childbirth, her father, a police chief, raised her on his own. A hard-working man, he spent many an evening in the office and so she grew up around men in the police force: she can handle herself pretty well.
When the apocalypse hit, she traveled with her dad towards 'the safe place' they'd heard rumours of. But when he was bitten, she had no choice but to mercy-kill him. Left alone to continue forward, she soon met Leroy and Warner who offered to take her with them to the coast.
Attractive, brave and an optimist, Francesca is not afraid of taking risks, but remains loyal to her friends and family till the end. Most of all, Francesca is a survivor, and somehow you just know she's gonna make it.
