Shannon Fox

Shannon, a character in the Wake the Dead book, is a scientist and one of your love interests. She is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Shannon has long dark brown hair tied into a ponytail, brown eyes and tanned skin. She wears a grey blouse underneath a white jacket with suspenders, and a silver necklace with a small bottle. She also wears a belt with lab vials around her torso, and white pants.

Personality
Shannon is a dedicated and focused researcher. She would have earned about 3 PHDs "if those were still a thing". Her years of experience with medical procedures and study of the zombie virus has left her to suppress feelings of disgust. However, she will express worry and fear if she encounters something that is not her expertise, such as surgically extracting a bullet. A premium scene shows she is self-conscious, comparing herself to you and the other members of the group and finding that she lacks the skills you all have. She therefore works hard to prove that she is not a burden since she is afraid you may realize that she is not worth the effort.

Background
When Shannon was a little girl, she was found by researchers in an abandoned house and remembered little of her parents. She spent most of her life at their lab in the mountains, learning all she could about medical treatments from the facility's extensive library since there was hardly anything else she could do. She also performed tasks at the lab and researched the zombie parasite until one of the lab workers was attacked and bitten by a zombie while collecting samples. After trying to hide it from his colleagues, he eventually turned and exposed the rest of the team in a matter of hours. Shannon was able to survive by locking herself in one of the labs with a box of emergency rations. It was there she remained until a scouting group from the Tower arrived at the lab to investigate why communications had gone dead.
