Yasmin

## Summary

Image of Yasmin

Yasmin is one of the main characters in Pivot Zombie Series. She is in charge of Bunker 03 and runs it very well. She allows for a good mix of following rules to stay safe while also letting people make their own decisions. Perhaps this ideology comes from her career as a school head teacher, a career that she excelled in. After the government officials set up the bunker on the day of the outbreak and left to begin evacuations, they never returned, leaving a bunch of civilians and a few soldiers to fend for themselves at the bunker.

There was panic everywhere once people realised the government wasn’t coming back and Yasmin knew she had to keep everyone calm before the panic escalated and people started getting hurt. She managed to get everyone's attention and through a long speech, calmed them down and told them of her plans on how to turn the bunker into a survivable location. Since nobody else decided to speak up, everyone quickly began to look to Yasmin as a leader. A few days later however, Will arrived at the bunker and although they get along, there are a lot of times where they are competing for leadership and have disagreements. She knows it is difficult to convince Will to agree with her and follow her plans but there is no need to do so.

## Full Character Story

Yasmin was a school head teacher in the past. She had a good performance in her job which helps her to become a good leader in bunker 03.

After the outbreak, the government officials set up the bunker and left to begin evacuations, they never returned, leaving a bunch of civilians and a few soldiers to fend for themselves at the bunker. The residents in bunker 03 felt fear once realised the government wasn’t coming back. Yasmin knew she had to keep everyone calm before the panic escalated and people started getting hurt. She managed to get everyone's attention and through a long speech, calmed them down and told them of her plans on how to turn the bunker into a survivable location. Yasmin was in charge of Bunker 03 and ran it very well. She allowed for a good mix of following rules to stayed safe while also letting people made their own decisions. Since nobody else decided to speak up, everyone quickly began to look to Yasmin as a leader.

Will met Yasmin when he arrived at Bunker 03 with some soldiers three days later than she did. However, Will immediately attempted to start taking charge but he soon realised that the people already had a leader and that was Yasmin. he thought that Yasmin did not deserve the full leadership position due to her lack of ability to partake in combat. It was obvious here that Will took her ability to keep the bunker running and conflicted free for granted.

She often doesn't agree with Will to take risks with his soldiers to acquire supplies since she doesn't want anyone to get hurt or die while Will dislikes her bossy personality and the idea that the bunker was hers.

In Brothers (Episode 13),Yasmin was leading The Survivors to the room. She saw Craig and Cory are having the conflict. She stopped them and blamed Craig and Cory for initiating violence in the bunker. She put all of things in records once the survivors have reached the room.

In Divided (Episode 14),Yasmin started to pick up a handgun and practiced shooting a target. While she was still hesitant to shoot, Will suddenly fired his gun due to his impatience for waiting for her to shoot. This bothered Yasmin a lot because the loud gunshot caused great pain to her ears and she thought Will did it on purpose. She felt annoyed with Will at that moment.

The next morning, Will and Yasmin were talking about a supply run. Yasmin argued whether Will needed to take a lot of people to go outside for the supply run since that would cause the bunker to become defenceless while they were going out. Will stressed the need to bring a lot of people to take more supplies which were needed for them to survive the infected. Yasmin argued that if Will quitted making noise with his guns, the infected would not come near them. Will then had no interest to have that discussion with Yasmin again and she could only accept the plan of the supply run.

After 2 hours, the three groups came back to the bunker. Yasmin then asked Will whether they have got everything they needed instead of asking him and the others for their safety. This annoyed Will a little bit but he assured her that they have got most of what they needed but not much on water. They now had everything they need to face the horde.

In Eradication (Episode 15),Will told Yasmin not to call the other residents to prepare so quickly for the plan which was about battling the infected horde as it would make people panic easily. However, Yasmin didn't agree with what Will said and insisted on telling Will the people in Bunker 03 were hers and that was her choice. This annoyed Will a lot and he insulted Yasmin by accusing her of manipulating people in Bunker 03. Yasmin felt angry at the rudeness of Will and she left the room. Will despised Yasmin for being ungrateful to what he had done for the plan last two days.

An hour and a half later, Will confirmed everyone was in position. Yasmin reminded Will to be careful by using her radio. Will felt shocked about what Yasmin said. He didn't expect any tragedy would happen and thought the plan would be successful.

After the war, Yasmin told the rest of the residents to come out from the canteen and asked Will what happened outside the bunker. Will then blamed himself for losing some soldiers and Yasmin told Will that it was nobody's fault. Yasmin comforted Will and afterwards she told the residents that the sacrifices of the soldiers would not go down and be remembered in vain.

In Retribution (Episode 16), Will could cooperate with Yasmin well now and that Yasmin felt happy after having her birthday last week. After the C.C.R Supreme Commander had arrived at the entrance of the bunker, Yasmin felt shocked to see what Wesley did. However, she couldn't do anything or it would cause more people to be killed.

The next morning, Will called all people in the bunker to the main room and declared that he would draft a plan to take revenge on the C.C.R people. He asked people to join him but Yasmin objected to his plan. She told Will that the people were not in right minds after what they went through and they also had no idea about where the C.C.R's main base was and Craig agreed with what she said.

In Annihilation (Episode 17), she was evacuated by Will alongside Victoria and Luke after the C.C.R had tried to invade the bunker. Knowing that they were discovered by the two C.C.R soldiers and there was no way for Will to kill them head on, Yasmin trusted in Will and followed his plan by hiding behind a side of an opened door. She then killed one of the C.C.R soldiers with Will's revolver and made it to the rendezvous point finally. After that, she changed her mind and did not object to the plan in which Craig, Vince and Will infiltrate the main base of C.C.R by disguising themselves as C.C.R soldiers. This was because she thought the C.C.R were pure evil and needed to be stopped.

In Icarus (Episode 18), she stayed at the bunker to take care of other residents and she required Will to radio her every morning to report his status during the search for the C.C.R's main base in London. Unexpectedly, a group of C.C.R soldiers wearing white armour had attacked the bunker before Will and his team came back. Yasmin and other residents had to leave the bunker and she met Luke in her way out. Not wanting to get discovered and killed, Yasmin and Luke hid in one of the lower floors. It was not until she heard Will on the radio dropped outside of their hideout that they decided to come out from the bunker. She then knew more about the deaths of David and Rachel during the mission as well as the fact that the team killed Wesley. Since the bunker was ruined and could not be restored, she decided to follow Craig and the remaining people to go up north to find a shelter in the countryside.

## Personality

Yasmin is seen to be a very cautious person as she cares much about the safety of residents in bunker 03. She thinks it is too dangerous for Will and his soldiers to have a simple supply run. Having this personality, Will sometimes feels exasperated with what she behaves and he has conflicts with her on making any important decisions easily. Yasmin will try her best to stop Will if his plans are infeasible and too risky to the residents in bunker 03.

Furthermore, Yasmin is seen to be organized. She handles the work in Bunker 03 systematically and offers some jobs for the Survivors, who are initiates in Bunker 03. She also pays much attention to the behaviours of residents in Bunker 03 and doesn't allow them to act violently. She also records the room numbers chosen by the residents and reflects this in the bunkers records by writing the residents' names next to the corresponding room numbers in sheets and notebooks. This can help her be sure of which rooms are vacant so as to let bunker members know which rooms are free if they wish to change, or give new members a choice of where they may want to live in the bunker.

## Appearance and Equipment

Yasmin is an imperal dark blue stickwoman in her late forties who is barely five feet tall. She has wavy shoulder length hair and wears a dark purple turtle neck jumper.

Yasmin does not have a weapon of choice as she does not like violence and won't have any part in it unless it is crucial to saving her or her groups' lives. She was seen to use Will's Remington Revolver to kill a C.C.R soldier in Annihilation (Episode 17).

## Relationships

### Will

So far, Yasmin has a less than decent relationship with Will as she has conflicts with him on decision-making for running Bunker 03. She often doesn't approve of Will to take risks with his soldiers to search for supplies since she doesn't want anyone to get hurt or die, including him. Will also dislikes her due to her bossy personality. However, Yasmin is not domineering to Will, but he thinks that she does not deserve the full leadership position due to her lack of ability to partake in combat. It is obvious here that Will takes her ability to keep the bunker running and conflict free for granted. While Will is going out to search for supplies and training the soldiers, Yasmin is trying her best to monitor whether there is any problems or fights in the bunker and maintain a peaceful atmosphere.

Their relationship deteriorates even further in Divided (Episode 14) when they both criticise each others lifestyle choices in the apocalypse; Will shaming Yasmin for being a leader that could not protect her own people if she had to and Yasmin getting fed up with Will's reckless behaviour and lack of concern. Yasmin does know that the bunker is better off with Will on their side, but she strongly thinks his behaviour needs to change.

In Eradication (Episode 15), Yasmin tries her best to cooperate with Will to guarantee the safety of the residents while Will and the soldiers of bunker 03 eradicate the zombies. Although Yasmin quarrels with Will before the eradication of zombies, she goes to comfort Will when he is blaming himself about making seven people die. Yasmin knows Will has done his best to lead the soldiers.

In Retribution (Episode 16), she opposes Will's plan which is about taking revenge on C.C.R after losing some of the residents like Jessica, Aaron and Maria. She tells Will that the people are not in right minds after what they went through and they also have no idea about where the C.C.R's main base is. However, it seems like she cannot prevent him from implementing the plan.

In Annihilation (Episode 17), their relationship gets better when Will tries his best to devise a plan to save her, Victoria and Luke from the attack of some C.C.R soldiers. This makes Yasmin think that Will is a courageous and selfless person who does not forsake anyone even though he is in jeopardy.

In Icarus (Episode 18), it can be observed that Yasmin cares much about the safety of Will when he is about to leave the bunker to search for the C.C.R London Headquarters. She admits that she would not be able to lead the bunker on her own if he and the team died during the infiltration mission. Will then promises her that he and the team will come back to the bunker safe and sound. While Will and the team are searching for the headquarters, Will and Yasmin keep in contact with each other using their radios.

After Will, Craig and Vince return to the bunker, they discover the fact that the bunker has been ruined. This makes Will worry about Yasmin and other residents. Luckily, Yasmin and Luke emerges. Will then gives Yasmin a hug to soothe her. Knowing they have lost their home, Yasmin realizes the importance of companions and she believes she will be safe as long as she can stay together with Will and the others in the future no matter where they will go to.

Overall, they struggle to cooperate with each other well without trying to get rid of each other.

### Matt

Yasmin also has a decent relationship with Matt. Matt reckons Yasmin is competent at managing bunker 03 and is organized enough to allocate different jobs to different residents which are the things he find himself a little bit hard to do well. Also, Yasmin admires his and Jessica's devotion since they are useful helping hands to Will and contribute to bunker 03 on military aspect.

### Jessica

Yasmin has a decent relationship with Jessica. Although Jessica always works with Will, she is willing to accept Yasmin's orders if Yasmin needs her help. Yasmin is also respected by Jessica as she reckons Yasmin has a better management skill to handle the operation of bunker 03. She puts Yasmin at ease in Eradication (Episode 15).

### Ray

Yasmin has a good relationship with Ray. He reckons Yasmin is a good leader to guarantee the safety of his family. Also, Yasmin is receptive to listen to his advice and supports him by giving more manpower to help him on the construction of bunker 03 when there is a shortage of construction workers.

### Craig

Yasmin is very welcoming to Craig when he arrives at the bunker, treating him as just another friendly face wanting somewhere to stay and protect, but she is soon made aware of his situation with his brother Cory, who is already a Bunker 03 Resident. Yasmin does not understand Craig's hostility towards his brother, but she will not tolerate it in her bunker.

She has not allowed this to cloud her judgement of Craig as a person and soldier however, as she is truly grateful to have another soldier at the bunker, one who is more on the compassionate side than the brawn side.

### Jane

Yasmin has a good relationship with Jane and she trusts Jane. She lets Jane work in her office in Annihilation (Episode 17) and considers her to be efficient enough to get all her assigned jobs done. She feels bad for Jane after Jane dies in the same episode since she cannot do anything to save her. Jane's death also makes Yasmin hesitant about supporting Will's plan to carry out a raid on C.C.R in the same episode since she does not want more people to die at this point. However, she is convinced by Craig, who wants to avenge Jane's death and help the residents have a bright future by eradicating the C.C.R.

### Vince

Yasmin and Vince have not interacted very much so far, but she welcomed him and his group into the bunker on the day they arrived and was initially undecided on what to think of him. When she saw he was friends with Will, she assumed that he would be just like him but as time has past she has realised that this is not the case.

After realising that Vince is less arrogant and more calm and collected than Will is. She has not spoken to him much so far but she plans on talking to him if her relationship with Will gets any worse in hope of convincing Vince to try and change Will's ways.

### Victoria

Yasmin gets along with Victoria since she is willing to answer Victoria's inquiries about the operation of bunker 03 and the working state of Ray. Victoria also accepts different jobs given by Yasmin and she doesn't find them demanding as she knows that she is responsible for assisting the bunker to operate well and Yasmin does more jobs than her. After the death of Victoria in Icarus (Episode 18), Yasmin is determined to take care of Victoria's child, Luke, since she does not want to let Victoria down in heaven as well as she feels a strong duty to make sure the kid is safe and has a bright future.
