## Biography

### Events of the **Into the Dark** *series*

#### Early Outbreak

Originally Gabby and Gabe lived in a Quarantine Zone during the early days of the outbreak, during this time Gabe was often drafted by the military to partake in outside work, but he did what he could in order to earn enough rations in order to keep her and himself going which was his primary concern. Eventually the twins became convinced that the Zone they lived in had no future and decided to leave.

#### Late Outbreak

While surviving outside of the Zone, they encounter Sheriff Deputy Gregory Harris, Sheriff Deputy Bruce Cooper and Senator Alexander Jones. While initially friendly and cooperative to the twins, Jones offers them both places in his community to which they both accept. It is later revealed that Jones spoke to Gabby privately asking her to become one of his lovers and in exchange she would be allowed to have whatever she wanted and Gabe would be offered a position in Jones' inner circle. Seeing no other option, she accepted.

## Skills and Abilities

From her years as a combat medic in the United States Army and later a Special Weapons And Tactics member, Gabby trained herself to be as an elite soldier.

She has also demonstrated herself as a formidable combatant being able to take on multiple individuals at once, stun her opponents with a few well placed hits and even defeat individuals larger and stronger than herself in physical combat, notably Michael Brooks who is considered physically the strongest of the Revolutionary Army. Despite her skill and ability as a combatant she is still not quite on the level of **Commander** Dante Bishop or Natasha Volkova.
