==Biography==
Candi was the lover of Dr. Jasper Guns and co-worker of Varla Guns at the Pink Pussycat strip club. After Varla informs her of Jasper's death, Candi accompanies her through Bayou City in search of her motorcycle. Fighting their way to the biker bar on the other side of town, they face a pair of mutated strippers whom they once worked with known as Coco and Sindy. Once Varla retrieves her keys from Sindy's gut, she drives Candi a safe distance from town to allow her to escape, before driving off to find Agent G and Isaac Washington at the hospital.
Later, after abandoning the heroes at the carnival, Varla encounters Candi again, attempting to hitchhike back into town to retrieve Jasper's voice box which she left at the club by mistake. Once again, Varla attempts to get Candi away from the outbreak, but when the pair discover Papa Caesar at a meat processing factory they divert their attention to taking him down. In the end they face off with Meat Katie, a female mutant dressed like a minotaur with a giant meat cleaver. They defeat her by knocking her back into a grinder, at the same time her cleaver is thrown into the air and lands across two supports. Unfortunately, they do not hold it in place for long and it falls, cutting Candi's arm clean off. She dies of blood loss in Varla's arms, seeing visions of Jasper coming down from Heaven on a stair lift to greet her.
Candi is seen with a leg-brace on her right leg, which possibly came from a leg injury prior to the game's time frame. She is also shown to be very unintelligent, a typical dumb blonde character, though extremely kind and wholesome.

==Trivia==
*Her name may be based off Candi Skyler from , or possibly .
*Candi seemingly misunderstood her mother's words, as the 'nothing' is implied that Candi should stay silent, but she instead used it as her swear instead.
*She never swears, instead saying "nothing" to censor herself. This results in her reaction when she is bleeding to death intentionaly looking like an underreaction at first glance.
