Carol Pingrey

**Post-Apocalypse**

* Former Medical Aide at Houlton Community
* Former White House Community Resident
* Medical Aide at the Royal Woods Community

**Carol Pingrey** is the tritagonist of MrPotassiumK's Loud House: Infection of the Dead. She is a former high school student from Royal Woods, Michigan. Initially an overachieving and insecure girl, Carol develops to be a fearless and ruthless girl who still harbors a lot of her humanity and love for her group. She struggles with depression, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, making her one of the most troubled members of the group. However, she makes up for it with her intelligence and medical knowledge, making her an essential core member of the group. She sometimes finds herself in direct conflict with Lori Loud.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Born and raised in Royal Woods, Michigan, Carol attended the same schools as Lori and competed in the same sport as her, becoming her rival. At some point they became friends, until Bobby moved to Royal Woods. Carol was the first to befriend him; at some point, she made her feelings to him known to Lori. Despite this, Lori ended up dating Bobby, which Carol saw as a betrayal. Carol tried to get Bobby to fall in love with her and break up with Lori, but Bobby refused, and having been caught in the act of kissing Bobby, Lori broke off their friendship. This fueled Carol's hatred towards Lori, and did acts to humiliate her, which spilled over to her friends, especially Becky, Dana, and Whitney. However, she also went into depression and began to take drugs such as oxycodone and LSD to cope.

One time, on a night of partying in Detroit, Carol was drugged and sexually assaulted by strangers at the club, an event that she compares her drug addiction to, in that it starts out as a euphoric high before the harsh reality hits.

## Post-Apocalypse

When the GIE arrived, Carol and her family went to the Detroit Safe-Zone where they shared a room with Tim Crowley, Jonathan Simmons, Mark, and Angelica.

On Day 3, she encountered Lori and others, and was reminded of Lori's hatred towards her.
