Choi Nam-ra

* Alive
* Infected

**Choi Nam-ra** (Korean: 최남라) is the tritagonist of the first season of the Netflix Series *All of us are Dead*. She is the top student of the school and the class president. She is portrayed by Cho Yi-hyun abd voiced by Grace Song in the English dub and Ayaka Asai in the Japanese dub.

## Before the apocalypse

Nam-ra's mother had donated a large sum of money to the school and in return, the Principal made her the class president. No one considered her the class president due to this, as some students could be heard making fun of her because of her being silent. She always just studied by herself and was aware of others not considering her the class president, as seen when Lee Su-hyeok talked to her and remarked how she was the class president when he suggested that they should visit Kim Hyeon-ju at the hospital before Nam-ra replied that she was aware that no one in their class considered her the class president as they knew how she got the title, so she couldn't be bothered to take the title seriously.

## After the apocalypse

When the outbreak started, she was just walking while reading a book. Because she was wearing wireless earbuds and listening to music, she was oblivious of the panic around her until Su-hyeok ran up to her and grabbed her and fled with her from oncoming zombies. Later while fleeing through the school, they both used a ladder to climb up to the window of a classroom on the second floor of the school, where Nam On-jo and others were hiding, noticed them and helped them inside.

Later, when Kang Jin-gu turned and infected Kim Min-ji, she and the others fled out of the halls where they were able to get to the science lab upstairs. There they barricaded the foors but Su-hyeok got separated from the group and had hid in the art room. After hiding in the science room for a while, the group realised that the barricade would fail eventually, so they used the fire hose to climb down into the broadcasting room. There they found their English teacher and the homeroom teacher, Park Sun-hwa. Before Nam-ra left the science lab, she left a note for Su-hyeok in case he came to the science lab. Later, he would make his way into the broadcasting room after using the windows to head to the location. She later witnessed and exposed Lee Na-yeon for infecting Han Gyeong-su, which led Na-yeon and Sun-hwa to leave the room.

When Cheong-san and Su-hyeok got separated at the teachers' office, Oh Joon-yeong suggested that they get the drone from the supply room from the science room. Using the drone, they found Cheong-san in the music room. They used the PA system to get to the music room. At the staircase, he was left behind but Nam-ra noticed his and went back for him where she saw him getting attacked by Yoon Gwi-nam. She tried to push Gwi-nam away from Su-hyeok, but Gwi-nam bit her in her wrist. Su-hyeok got angry after seeing Nam-ra hurt and pushed Gwi-nam out of a window. She and Su-hyeok then began running to the music room.

When the group was in the music room, they noticed the bite mark on her wrist. Su-hyeok said that she was bitten by Gwi-nam, who wasn't a zombie, but Lee Cheong-san said that he say Gwi-nam get bit by zombies, causing fear within the group that she would also become a zombie. She later began mutating into a zombie and had the urge to bite Su-hyeok, but resisted it; its shown that she became a hambie too. Some of the students, fearing for their own lives, wanted Nam-ra to leave, but Su-hyeok refused for her to leave the room, so he tied her with himself together, so that if she turns, she could only attack him. Some started discussing her state, when Yang Dae-su came up with the name Hambie(Halfbie in the English dubbing) referring to being infected but still having intelligence to rational decisions and choices.

When the group was attacked by Gwi-nam in the stairs, she went into her hybrid state, using it to defend the group from Gwi-nam. She grabbed him by his neck and threw him down the stairs. Later, when the group were on the rooftop, Nam-ra hoped that one day, when the outbreak is over, they would be able to sit together around a bonfire like they were doing, called the group her friends. When Gwi-nam later attacked the group on the rooftop, after noticing that she is also a hambie, he tried convinving her to turn on the group and get on his side, but Nam-ra refused him and later also threw him off the roof. She also alerted the group about the danger in the gym during the thunderstorm and also about the bombing of Hyosan High.

Later, she returned with On-jo to the ruins of the incomplete construction site, hoping to find Cheong-san. After stating that she could not smell anything alive, she comforted On-jo and accepted the (unconfirmed) death of Cheon-san. Later while the group made their way through the forest, she suspected that the main reason the military bombed the school despite knowing there were survivors there was because of her beng a hambie.

As their group made their way into a nearby abandoned town, she sensed zombies and urged the group to run, but stayed because Dae-su's leg was injured. She kills several zombies during their fight, and later when Jang Wu-jin became a zombie, she killed him in front of everyone. Park Mi-jin scolded her for not apologising to Jang Ha-ri for killing her brother right in front of her. Later, while their group were making their way to the military checkpoint, Nam-ra started having even more uncontrollable urge to eat her friends. As she realised the danger that she posed, she simply ran away from the group. However, Su-hyeok and On-jo noticed that she was not there and decided to go back to look for her, where they found her eating a dead body. After they called for her, she screamed at them to stay away from her before charging at On-jo, but she controlled herself and ran away from them.

Four months later, she would light a fire on the school's rooftop, hoping for her friends to see it and during this time, she may have met other surviving hambies in the city. She eventually reunited with her friends. After they went towards the fire on the rooftop, she had a conversation with her friends, and explained her situation to them before leaving after hearing other hambies calling for her.
