**Elena Strestkov** is survivor in The Walking Dead. She was a bartender and drunkard in Macon.

## Overview

Elena Strestkov is someone who, on the surface, is a aloof, drunk who sometimes does something funny. Though, she does take many things seriously, such as Jackson Graves's walker gut plan which she did without much objection.

she sees herself as pretty expendable, however, which is why she volunteers for dangerous stuff, because who else is worth losing? This does not mean she wants to die or even want to become a walker.

## Post-Apocalypse

Elena Strestkov was running her bar when the outbreak occurred. When walkers started to attack the bar, she took her gun and knife and tried to kill the walkers.

After Man tried and failed to save them, and when Sergeant Walter Storm and Jackson Graves came by to save Elena, as well as Melodie Dubois and Samantha Serentium.

For a day or so, Elena resides at Father Oliver Lewis's church. Where the Bar Survivors tried to leave, as well as take supplies. After a short confrontation with Father Oliver, Elena knocked him out and the Bar Survivors tried to get supplies at the nearby 7/11

At the 7/11, the Bar Survivors got some supplies and met Parker Todd, who they had a short conversation with. But then walkers showed up and they got separated

Soon enough, the Bar Survivors tried to survive in a apartment complex, and then the government, which they didn't know still existed, fell. Trapping them in the apartments they thought would be their sanctuary. Though they were joined by Magdalena Vidal and Jackson.

Later, after Jackson came up with the walker gut method, Elena was one of the people who went with it. And drive the Apartment Survivors, minus Magdalena, who had her own car, to the docks, where they encountered Father Oliver again.

After Jackson was pretty badly wounded, Elena went down to the bomb shelter to get medical supplies for Jackson, which she managed to do with getting real injured.

When she and the group got back to Father Oliver’s car, they had been robbed by the people who Oliver saved. Except for one, Scott Urich, who was mortally wounded. He died from his wounds.

after this, Elena went to bury him and he reanimated into a walker, biting her arm. Jackson had to cut her arm off, by her insistence.

Two months later, it is known that she and Melodie were on a supply run, and got separated. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Elena fiercely believes that Melodie is still alive.

a month later, Elena still hopes Melodie is still alive, and helps Oliver Lewis establish camp for the group, at least, for the night.

## Killed Victims

Numerous counts of zombies

Scott Urich (Zombified)

## Relationships

### Melodie Dubois

Melodie Dubois is someone Elena sees as a friend. If there was something Elena wanted to talk about that was remotely serious, she would go to Melodie about it.

At several points where Elena has offered herself up to do dangerous things, Melodie questions if she should. For example, when trapped in the apartment, Elena offered to run out to the car, but Melodie shut that down.

After Melodie was presumed dead, Elena held out hope she was still alive.

### Samantha Serentium

Samantha Serentium and Elena don’t have much of a established relationship, though Elena seems to trust Samantha, and Samantha was quite happy with Elena when she knocked Oliver Lewis out with a bottle.

### Parker Todd

Elena barely met Parker, but they had a solid relationship, though the two quickly went their separate ways after their meeting at the 7/11.

### Jackson Graves

Jackson Graves and Elena had a solid relationship. The two first meeting when Jackson saved her, Samantha, and Melodie from the bar.

the next time the two met, was at the apartment, where Elena helped Jackson out voluntarily, such as when she moved the couch to squish walkers coming up the stairs

Elena sees Jackson as a good person who deserves to live, which is why she went into the bomb shelter to get medical supplies to Jackson.

### Oliver Lewis

Oliver Lewis and Elena did not have a good relationship initially. Especially since Elena, Samantha, and Melodie left the church and stole supplies, and then even knocked him out and suggested they leave him out as walker bait.

When they next met, Elena was concerned Oliver would be pissed, but he kept his cool, which was a pleasant surprise to Elena.

### Magdalena Vidal

Despite being in the same group for three months, Magdalena and Elena have barely interacted. Despite this, it can be assumed the two have at least a decent relationship.

### Scott Urich

Elena barely met Scott before he died. Despite this, she felt bad that he died for holding onto his morals, and went to go bury him, before being hit by a zombified Scott.
