Onyx got her nickname from her jet black hair. She was born with straight hair but since then it's turned into loose waves. She doesn't really style it in any sort of way, she just showers and waits for it to dry. Her bangs are usually covering her forehead and she makes sure to cut them so they won't get in the way when she shoots. Most people notice her tattoo's when they first meet her. Onyx has quite a few and she loves each one of them. Each of them are coloured brightly across her skin and she shows them with pride. Her eyes are a hazel colour, they're more brown than any other colour. In certain lights you can see a bit of golden-flecks and green shades. When she stands straight up she's about 5'9" and weighs approximately 109lbs. She's always been really thin and when you see her, you'll see her bones jut out a little more than the average person. Sure, it's the end of the world and there's not much food but she rarely eats when offered. this has nothing to do with appearance but when people listen to Onyx, she does have a French accent.

- simplistic . Onyx doesn't need a lot to be happy, she just needs a good book and a blanket and she'll be okay for hours. She enjoys the smaller things in life that most people take for granted. Onyx loves taking small walks and just enjoying breathing in the fresh air. She smiles and is truly blessed to be alive today because life can be ripped from you any second. She can live off of the same food for days and still be in a bright and cheery mood.

- loving . deep deep deep deep down past the serious Onyx is a loving one. She does have emotions and really tries to keep her emotions separate from her job. She doesn't like breaking down infront of people so you won't see her crying too much. She really does care about people but since the virus breakout she's learned not to get too attached. She learned this lesson the hard way.. If Onyx really does care about a person, that person will know. It won't take a bunch of mushy gushy words for them to know. The look on her face and the way she protects them is what conveys her love for someone.

- alert/attentive . whenever you see Onyx she's always a little more awake then everyone. She'll wake up at 4am wondering if she's safe and secure at all times. When she sits for long periods of times she feels restless and needs to move. She can't stay in one place for too long. This makes her also have a troubled sleeping pattern, you'll find her sleeping all afternoon and staying awake at night. She always feels best at night, daylight makes her eyes hurt too much. Onyx is also very attentive with people, she can pick up small little things about people from small actions they perform. She can also tell when people are lying and when they're uncomfortable. Years of studying people's body language has paid off.

- dangerous . although Onyx looks like a happy smiley and innocent lady something lurks underneath her facade. Her internal self has been trained to be serious under certain circumstances. she scares herself at times with the power she holds, She doesn't know what to do with all her knowledge now. It's like learning how to walk, you can never really forget can you? She really can't help it but feel an instinct at certain times. Onyx doesn't come off as a smart witch but she warns people not to judge a book by their cover. She also doesn't flaunt how strong she truly is and doesn't show people her smart side. She really is quite cunning and likes to come off as the baby of the group.

- secretive . who goes flaunting around they have an eating disorder? No one. This includes Onyx, the only people who know about her eating disorder is her family, and they're dead. She doesn't go openly telling people her past because she's afraid of what they'll think. She keeps a lot about herself hidden, she won't tell people how she knows they're lying. Onyx really only shows her new self because she knows people would act differently around her if they knew about her insecurities.

- tomboy . Onyx is just one of the guys and gets along best with guys. She doesn't mind getting her hands dirty or not looking good before she goes out. She's just concerned with getting her job done. She doesn't mind coming off as one of the guys, she doesn't like girls' drama. When she is around the guys she blends right in. Onyx rather go out in the woods than staying in and doing laundry whilst gossiping. She likes being out in nature and breathing in the crisp air.

- insecure . Most would say Onyx is a confident lady. The way she presents herself and conveys herself she is really quite opinionated. The truth is.. Onyx has struggled with Bulimia for years. Her teen years were plagued with the awful disease. It all started when she was fifteen, a few girls thought it'd be funny to write she was fat all over her arms. The torment didn't stop then and they continued to bully her. When she was emitted to the hospital later that year for lack of food, that was when they left her alone. She didn't have many friends which made her condition elevate. Onyx never felt so alone in her life and the only thing she really had control over was her food consumption. She was in and out of rehabs in highschool, she stuck to her studies and never really ventured into social situations. After she won her battle with bulimia she still was having relapses.

- truthful/blunt . Onyx says it as it is. She doesn't sugar coat anything. Yes, the world is ending and most people are like that but she's always been that way. The way she looks at the world is that everyone is eventually going to die, it's better to face it now then later. If someone is clinging to a dead body that's just a ticking time bomb to turn into a zombie she'll tell them the honest truth. Onyx can come off as cold and heartless but this side comes out when her protective nature takes over.

- fears . dying, getting bitten, relapsing, and food.
- likes . being alone, nature, honest people, laughing, photos, chicken noodle soup, being in charge, singing, autumn, and the colour of the forest leaves.
- dislikes . being alone, zombies, the world, gossip, snooty girls, bullies, curious people, people who pry into her past, being called 'Cordelia', silence, and people who yell.

NATIONALITY: French/English

Cordelia Lafleur was born and raised in Rhelms, France. She grew up there with her family until her father got a job with the American government being a French politician. Their whole family decided to pack up their lives and move to the city of Washington, DC. It was difficult for the young eleven year old to adjust to using English as her first language. She was always made fun of for the way she spoke. Her French accent always coming out whenever she spoke. That was when Onyx really started to hate herself. It was when those bullies decided to wreck her life by damaging her with those dreaded words. Her confidence problems stemmed from early life bullying and she would never forget those terrible names they called her.

Junior high wasn't the best years of her life and she was home schooled for a bit just so she could learn English. Onyx was always smart and knew what her teachers were doing. Even if she didn't understand most of the time she had a photographic memory. When she was emitted back into school at the age of thirteen, she really had no idea what she was getting herself into. The kids were even more cruel than they were before. Onyx turned to her music even more and hid away all her emotions in her writing. She would write sad songs about her life and her struggles. She had always played piano and she learned how to play guitar as well. Her dream was always to become a singer.

One day at school, the kids decided it would be really funny to corner young Cordelia and write mean slurs all over her arms and body. They pinned against the corner of the bathroom and wrote all over her in black markers. She had never felt so worthless in her whole life and she left the school crying up a storm. Onyx really took what they said to heart, about her being fat. She was quite thin and the girls were jealous of how pretty she was, that was why they bullied her. Onyx had struggled with her image for the longest time. She had long beautiful jet black hair but she went to the hairdresser and got it chopped and to have bangs and a million layers. Onyx also moved schools and went by Onyx from then on. She hated the name Cordelia, it defined her past and taunted her. Having a photographic memory didn't help her now, it haunted her.

Onyx struggled to eat and the when she did eat it made her feel worthless, she balled up all these emotions and after every meal she would puke. She didn't think this would become a problem, until, she did it after every meal. Her family found out and saw her losing all this weight. One day, they found her on the floor passed out. They rushed her to the hospital and the doctors had diagnosed her with bulimia. She was rushed off to a rehab center for the summer. She stayed there until she had a grasp on her life. Onyx kept relapsing and being put back into the program. It never helped, she was a good liar and they would believe that she was actually getting better... Inside her body was slowly dying.

When Onyx beat her battle with bulimia she was twenty years old. She had finally gotten her act together. She had also finished her schooling whilst in the rehab center, she had completed highschool and had never been happier to be out of school forever. Onyx pursued her music and was really starting to get noticed. She had a part time job being an assistant at an archery center. The one time she could lose herself was in her music or when she was shooting. She was a prodigy as her couch had said. She was only an assistant so she could pay for her own lessons.

When the virus broke out, it went rapid in Washington. Her family had stayed behind against her wishes and she escaped the city. She had made her way, meeting up with a group of people heading to a safe haven they had heard was in Henley Falls. She arrived at the community and found herself among other survivors. Onyx fell into place of being a hunter by her good shooting skills. Her bow wasn't as fast as a gun but it was much quieter than a gun. She helps make bows and arrows as well since it was once her job. Now, she struggles to find who she truly is among this Godforsaken world.
