»The forest never gave back what it took, until the night it gave us her.«
-When the outbreak began, Mahayla survived with her family, moving like shadows through the ruins of the world. They were tough, resourceful, and for a time they thrived. But survival never came without a cost. A horde ripped her family away in one brutal night, leaving Mahayla with nothing but the weapons in her hands and the will to keep breathing. Alone, she hardened fast. Trust became a luxury, kindness a weakness. She learned to fight, to kill, to take what she needed without hesitation, alone. By the time Rick's group found her, she didn't beg for help, she didn't even want it. She followed them at a distance, wary and silent, blade always within reach. It wasn't loyalty that made her stay with them, but the simple fact that strength attracts strength. When they reached Alexandria, Mahayla crossed the gates with the same cold stare she had carried since the night her world burned. She wasn't looking for family or friends, she'd buried those with her past. But in this new place, with these battle-worn survivors, she found something she hadn't had in a long time: a chance to fight for more than just herself, and a spark with a boy in a sheriff's hat.
