April

* Spin-Off
* World Gone Mad

"*I had a friend. His name was **Jack**. He took care of me. **All** he ever did was look out for me. Help me. **Save** me. And when it came down to **me** helping **him**...there was only **one thing** I could do. So I did it... [...] **I killed him**,*"
—April describes her final moments with Jack[src]

**April** is the deuteragonist of "*World Gone Mad*" and the eponymous protagonist of the upcoming *April*. A mature, kind, and polite girl, she is taken in by Jack Lee and acts as the moral compass of the group, trying her best to maintain the humanity of the group in a post-apocalyptic world. Following Jack's death, April is forced to adapt to the new world or face its horrors unprepared.

Two years after the disastrous mission to Atlanta, April encountered another group of survivors hiding out in a cabin in rural Kentucky.

## Biography

### Early Life and Background

April was born to a mother named Barbara and an unnamed father in 2006 and lived a loving life. At the beginning of the dollar pandemic, she was in the sixth grade, which she considered to be easy despite her age. She's smart and can hold her own if necessary, known to spend hours building elaborate make-believe tales in her treehouse and reading books rather than watch cartoons or play with dolls.

Sometime before the outbreak, her mother left for a trip to Atlanta and left April with a babysitter named Sasha, with whom April formed a sister-like relationship.

## Overview

### Personality

For a little girl, April displays remarkable intelligence and maturity, presumably due to the seriousness of the environment. When she last attended school, April was in the 6th grade, which she described as "too easy", and she describes moving up a grade while talking with Katarina. She can be practical and improvise in situations. She also picks up on subtle things most children her age would not be bothered by. For example, when Kalil was interrogated by Martha after Jack brought him and his cousin to the hotel, she quickly drags him away from the argument before he could get pulled in, saving the boy any trouble.

Because of her intelligence, April is a fast learner, quickly adapting to the Turned-infested world, but still holds out faith that the group can keep their humanity; as such, April is not a conformist and is not afraid to speak her mind, believing that everyone should do their best to be a good samaritan unless threatened otherwise.

## Relationships

### Jack Lee

Jack's affection towards April was readily obvious the moment he met her. While their relationship starts as nothing more but a helpful stranger and a little girl, the bond strengthens throughout the episodes. When they first meet, April saves Jack's life. As April is the closest person to Jack in the apocalypse, both of them came to form a symbiotic relationship, with Jack seeing April as a daughter while April seeing Jack as her guardian and later on as a father. Jack protects her no matter what, even when his own life is at risk. The two end on a warm but emotional note, as April, in tears, is forced to shoot Jack to prevent him from succumbing to dollar rabies.

### Finn

Finn seems to have taken an immediate liking to April, as seen when he introduces himself in a friendly manner when they first met on the bridge. April seems to like Finn due to his optimism and his sense of humor. She allows him to swear openly, unlike with Jack, whom she calls on swearing every time.
