she had only been of twelve years when she witnessed the death of her parents, grotesque images forever engrained into her brain as her older brother took her hand, the pair fleeing from the place she had once called her home.

her father had been bitten years earlier, and though his symptoms were minimal, the tightknit family lived in hiding in the city's slums, away from prying eyes and away from police and soldiers ridding those infected from the outbreak. but the love and support yein had around her was never enough. it would never be enough for the unrivaled strength a hoard of zombies used to pry at the boards of their house, ready to once and for all destroy the family the girl had taken for granted.

left with only her older brother, seungwoo, who was bitten many years later, yein has made it a personal goal to pursue academics and medical school to help those in need, for she does not want to see any others suffer as her parents did. and deep down inside, the girl can only hope that her pursuit of education will one day bring a cure to the infection that will one day take her beloved brother away from her.

under the care and guidance of her cherished brother, yein uses a fake surname so that, in the event that seungwoo's status as an infected person is discovered, she will not be associated with this status. even still, she is against such a notion, having much rather sacrifice herself for her sibling.
