Mallory Malone

==Biography Before That Day==
Mallory is very funny, witty and sharp on her toes. She worked as a hairdresser in a salon in downtown Westfield. Her whole life she'd always had long, smooth black hair, with the occasional streaks of color for flair. Mallory lived on Main Street, just three blocks from her workplace. Growing up her father was ex-Army and had taught her how to be the cop in cops in robbers. She was never very athletic, but was a badass with a smarmy sense of humor; someone who just wanted to find and keep a decent man. 
==Biography After That Day==
Mallory spent the initial hours of June 23, 2010 unscathed in the locked salon she worked at. Due to the summer weather she was only wearing a pair of shorts that reached halfway to her knees. Mal's first encounter with the infected came when Mrs. Dawkins an elderly, good tipper came to the door begging to be let in. Despite her misgivings after seeing the bite marks on the customers arm, Mallory let her in. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Dawkins died and attacked Mallory;  grabbing ahold of her long hair and ripping a sizeable chunk of it out. They landed on the floor in a heap, and Mal had to drive her knee into Mrs. Dawkins chin to gain leverage to escape. After finding her shears, she put Mrs. Dawkins down by driving them through her eye. She noticed a smear of blood on her knee and hoped that it was not hers. Mallory was not a murderer and lay frozen on the floor of her salon. She had to wipe thick blood off of her after awakening from her position. Mallory blamed her long hair for almost getting her killed and before leaving the salon, she chopped off her hair so it was short enough to not cause a problem. Dressing in a pair of her coworker Clara's pants, along with a baseball hat and small sweater from the lost and found, Mallory proceeded to fashion a couple of spears using two broomsticks and scissors. She only made it a block from the salon before being distracted by gunfire, and the ensuing adrenaline rush caused her to run directly into a zombie. She bit her tongue, tasting the coppery blood in her mouth. In the middle of the street she spit out a thick wad of blood and put down one male and two teenage female zombies before turning her spear on what she thought was a fourth zombie. This action caused her to accidentally stab Lt. Daniels. She returned with him and Hector to the Westfield school where she remained for several months, setting up a salon and giving regular haircuts to the survivors there.     
Following the overthrow of Senator Stockwell, Mallory joined Mike on the first trade with Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy and gave everyone haircuts. She began flirting with Adrian, whacking him in the head and giving him a Mohawk on one of his trips to Westfield, and shaving his balls after he was shot. It wasn't until their next visit to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy that Adrian and Mallory first consummated their sexual relationship, and things seem to be going well for them. She continued to remain at Westfield, and there were times where she was distant, or seemed tired of Adrian. Mallory was very helpful in putting everything in perspective about how to approach the Farm situation. She didn't return to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy until after the attack by the Farm, and stayed on while Blake and Kim went to Westfield. She is learning how to shoot a handgun that Adrian had given her along with a Maglite, and assisted in perimeter security during the clearing of the MGR building. On July 4th, Mallory returned to Westfield, where days later,  on the night of the fire, she was dreaming of a disco with heavy white fog. Awakening to the fire outside her door, Mallory quickly threw her belongings in a bag and heaved her salon chair out the window and jumped to safety as smoke filled the room. She moved back to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy with the remaining Westfield survivors and has taken up residence and her relationship with Adrian since her return. The aftermath of the fire left her shaken and withdrawn, but as she spends more time with Abby talking, Mallory has begun to feel more like herself. Recently she asked Adrian to assist her in getting the things she needed to restart a salon on campus, and narrowly missed being killed when the rookies they took to clear the houses almost got them shot.
