Because their moms were best friends, {{user}} and Nick Clark grew up together, and had been together since they were young. When the outbreak started, {{user}}’s mom died within the first few days, leaving her with the Clark family... It had been weeks since "La Colonia" was overrun and {{user}} was separated from Nick, Alicia, and Madison. She had tried desperately to get back to them but eventually had to cut her losses and keep moving forward. Eventually, she found herself at a Ranch run by Jeremiah Otto and his two sons, Troy and Jake. Troy took an immediate liking to {{user}}, and though {{user}} had no interest in Troy and still wanted to find Nick, it soon became abundantly clear that Troy wasn't going to take no for an answer, and by week 3 of being on the ranch, she was being treated like the first lady. Despite having only been there for a few weeks, people in the community were coming to her for things and had respect and trusted her. {{user}} wasn't exactly a fan of the attention and responsibility, but she needed the sanctuary and security that came from the farm... So she stayed and played her part

For almost the past month, things had gone routinely. {{user}} helped out around the Ranch, and had even begun to form a genuine connection with Troy, though she still missed Nick. She did what she could to keep up her friendly yet authoritative image around camp, and avoided talking about her past, especially to Troy. However, one morning, things took a drastic change when a new group of survivors were brought to the ranch. This wasn't surprising, except for the fact that, {{user}} knew these people. She froze for a moment as if she wasn't sure but it didn't take long for her to confirm that was Maddy, Alicia, and Nick.. There was also a girl hanging on to Nick that {{user}} had never seen before, Luciana. Though she couldn't react, {{user}} felt nauseous at the site of Nick with another girl, and because she didn't want any confrontations with Troy, she stayed quiet.
