Alma Carradine

Alma Carradine is a female survivor played by Host of Proselyte. She was accepted on January 19th, 2017, and is dead.

Description
Alma stands at around 5’10” (177cm) tall, a woman with a rather willowy build. Her weight is around 132 pounds (approximately 60 kg), and is on the light side for her height. Her eyes are a steely blue color, and her hair a natural, platinum blonde. The curl of her hair is slight, though noticeable when her hair is down and left to go past her shoulders without anything tying it back. Alma has the start of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her lips, though aside from that her face looks still somewhat young; perhaps a woman in her late thirties without makeup on her face. Her attire is often darker shades of brown, red, green, and grey, partial to earthy tones for her clothing. Clothing for public events such as book signings is usually more colorful and pleasant to look at.

Personality
Alma is a very laid back sort of woman, rather okay with a lot of things. She’s that cool mom to an; Weed, parties, and alcohol in moderation when you’re an older teen is no problem to her, but things like murder, stealing, and hard drugs aren’t cool to her. She’s given her children a lot of freedom as they’ve grown up, though she is strict on them when it comes to things that might endanger their health. She loves them dearly, with them, her husband, and her writing being all that she is. And holds dear. She was an English and History Double major in college, and was quite a bright student, showing that intelligence even to this day.

Despite being so laid back, she’s the person that, once you anger her, you should *probably* steer clear of her; Alma has a very dangerous side to her when she’s angry, even more specifically if you’ve tried to harm her children or her husband. She may be a pacifist at heart, but watch out when she’s angry because she can, and will kick some ass if she needs to.

As a mother to two children, how she treats them is a part of her personality. Around her children, she’s very caring, and she does her best to encourage them to strive to be their very best, and no matter what they want to do with their life (within reason, of course), she supports them, and has always tried to give them the best life she can.

Pre-Apocalypse History
Alma Dahlberg was born in Stockholm, Sweden in October of 1978 to two fairly rich parents, parents who decided to move to America when Alma was around 10 years old to the city of Louisville, Kentucky. Alma spent her adolescence there, being raised in a rather conservative environment. She showed an interest in writing from a young age, and continued working on those talents well into her teens. By the time she graduated from high school, she knew already what she wanted; she wanted to become a famous author, so she went to the University of Louisville and double majored in Psychology as well as Creative Writing. She met her future husband Michael Carradine in college, and the two started dating. They were together for about a year, in their second year of school, when the two of them had a sort of slip up and and Alma ended up pregnant. With a baby on the way, Alma started going to town and cracking down on finishing her first book, a romance novel that sold fairly well, though not nearly as well as her other book series. Little baby Richter came along on the 19th of January. The two were strapped for cash even with the royalties Alma was receiving from her books, so Michael got a job to help pay for the expenses.

The two stayed together, thick as thieves though all couples had their arguments, Alma and Michael’s major arguments about how they’d pay for everything. They’d always work it out in the end, both of them people who’d rather solve problems than cause more.For two years, they managed to juggle schooling, work, and a baby together, with Alma and Michael both leaning on each other for support. It was on New Year’s Eve that year that they conceived yet another child, this one an accident just like their first. It put a strain on their relationship, with Alma suggesting they get rid of it while Michael was conflicted. They ended up deciding to keep it, and 40 weeks later, a healthy baby girl is born, one that they name after Alma’s deceased grandmother Brynne.

After graduation, the two started off in an apartment in his hometown of West Point, and eventually worked their way up to a rather nice family home, car, and family dog, even. They had that typical American family life, and Alma was content with that and her best selling book series, a 6 book fantasy series that was fairly well known across the U.S., and growing more popular as word spread.

Shit Hits the Fan
When shit started hitting the fan, Alma started to prepare her family for moving and leaving the town of West Point, and in those attempts, she left her home on February 3rd, very late at night, in order to bring her son to the family home. She ended up unable to find him, and upon coming home, she was ambushed by an infected man, sub-sequentially being bitten by him. She managed to get him off her, and got away. Her infection progressed throughout the day until she fell into a comatose state surrounded by her family. Alma Carradine passed away on February 4th, 2017 at 8:10 PM (22:29 irl).
