"It was a virus. An infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood. It was something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities it was already too late. Army blockades were overrun. And that's when the exodus started. Before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. We didn't hear anything more after that.’"

Character Name: Leah Elizabeth Evans
Age: 21
Date of Birth: August 5th
Residence: Upstate New York but attends college in Long Island
Profession: Comedian turned Acting student
Appearance: Leah is a very average young woman at only 5'3. Her skin is very fair which is a result of her light case of anemia and her Irish heritage (which cancels out her 10% Native American). She is of athletic build, though not skinny, from her years of playing soccer and various other sports. She much prefers to wear jeans and a tshirt plus a hoodie more than anything else.
Leah has brown hair that is usually pushed into a messy ponytail so it's out of her face. She rarely wears makeup but when she does it's probably just a quick shade of lipgloss. She can often be found in her black converse sneakers which grow increasingly worn as the days go by.
Personality: Leah is an intelligent, loyal, caring, passionate human being with a shade of sarcasm. She is a tomboy and has grown up as 'one of the boys' both from her sporty and comedy upbringing which are male dominated fields. She feels far more comfortable around males because she knows what sarcastic quips she shoots off won't insult them. Though she won't admit it, she also has great leadership qualities and is good with small children. She also has a love for animals.
She is good for a laugh, if her dry sense of humor suits you, and loves making people smile as it gives her a sense of worth. That being said she is also very determined and will stop at nothing to further herself and her friends. Though she is a loyal friend she will not risk the lives of many to save just one, no matter who you are.
History: Leah was born in Baton Rouge, Loisianna and was a prearranged adoption. After that she was brought tp Upstate New York where she was raised, only leaving to perform or study improv, standup, and sketch comedy in such places as: Philly and New York. At age eighteen she attended a university in Long Island to major in acting.
Now that the rage virus is spreading Leah is one of the few leading a 'rebel party' toward Canada where she believes there'll be less infected due to the cold. On the way she has the secret agenda of getting to her family to bring them along, even though it may be a lost cause.
Unknown to her Leah carries the gene which makes her immune to the rage virus. She has no knowledge of this so it is of no strength, however, if bitten it will become a weakness as she will no longer be allowed to be around people given the risk of infection.
