## Biography After That Day

Mother Williams, as Patty has been referred to by Adrian, survived the initial months following the appearance of zombies with her family in their home in Westfield. They avoided the survivors situated in the school in Westfield, and survived by scavenging their neighborhood for supplies. Patty was witness to the death of their family dog by zombies, and over the course of time since June 23, 2010 has become a pretty tough bitch, and founding member of Team Vagina. Patty and Charles loved each other, but argued often, and she was the one to push him hard in making the decision to move to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy when their supplies ran out. Patty is strong, and doesn’t want anyone to think she can’t function.  She doesn’t want to be a burden on anyone, and has proven her self time after time. She started an indoor garden in Hall A after their arrival on campus at Christmas, is able to drive a stick shift and a big vehicle like a pro. Patty is excellent at clearing houses, and doesn't leave anything behind. She has challenges shooting with a pistol, but has become very good with firearms and is great with a TAC 22.

Patty was initially reserved in her opinion of the STIG survivors after their first encounter, due to the memories of Westfield being so fresh in her mind, but following the explosion of the gas station near campus, made the decision with her husband to move the family to STIG. She felt the housing area of STIG felt a little cozy, but couldn't breathe when she saw the mass of undead around STIG. She kept her arm wrapped around Charles shortly after their arrival, and cried over their first dinner,  jerking away from her husband's comfort that first night as she cried herself to sleep. Patty was assigned as a guard at STIG, and was befriended by Tony who was assigned to train her. In those few days at STIG, Patty retracted away, felt like an outcast and stayed quiet most of the time. She was on guard duty the night that the STIG exploded, and was injured; waking up to the taste of coppery blood in her mouth. Before the explosion she and Charles had discovered that they had been having dreams for months of dead family members, but none of the living. She has since come to believe that the explosion at STIG started in the fuel storage. She got weird after Tony's death at campus, her daughter believed it was because he was the last living reminder of her husband and son. She did a lot of yelling and venting in the days following his death. On March 3, 2011, prior to noticing the horde of book carrying zombies on campus, Patty comforted Adrian following his dream of the White Room and Cassie, and shared that she had also had dreams of Charles and Randy since their death. Since her arrival on campus, Patty has become a true soldier, and isn't afraid to speak her mind, even when it comes at odds with those she trusts most.

Patty is a great negotiator, and has a gentle touch when necessary, but her weak appearance belies a fierce mother bear when it comes to those she loves. She has taken many new survivors under her wing. She developed a daughter/father relationship with Gilbert, took charge of nursing Tony following the explosion at STIG, took Blake under her wing during the lead up to the Farm attack, befriended Melissa, pampered Chester after they rescued him and his family from the MGR, and accepted Gavin as her daughter's first love. Patty is often the point of first contact in tense situations given her calm approach, and was one of the first to return to Westfield with Adrian. She approached Lindsey Manning after the death of her husband, and opened trade negotiations with Gilbert at the Farm. Patty drove the wounded to Westfield following the fire fight on campus and has really worried about the change in Abby following Gavin's death. She received a note from Gilbert with specific instructions following his death and serves as a calm voice of reason to the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy residents. She currently resides in Hall E with the leading members of the Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy campus.
