Layla Salvatore

## ***Background***

Layla Salvatore was born on 05/11/1999 in Orlando Florida. She had a rough childhood with her mother always leaving her alone and her father always working hard to keep food on the table. She was left to take care of her baby sister Alice alone. One evening Layla’s parents got into a major argument over the lack of affection towards each other and the kids they ended up separating leaving the two girls with their father. A year later their dad ended up getting a stable job driving big trucks to deliver things to warehouses making an extreme amount of money but leaving his daughters for a few weeks at a time.

Over the next few years Layla and Alice’s father grown sick and was unable to work which caused them to sell their big home and move into a small place in Los Santos that was much easier to pay for, Layla started going to school to become a nurse so that she could take better care of her sick father, buried into her studies she was also dealing with Alice lashing out and getting into a lot of deep trouble. A few years later Alice runs away to be a part of a gang called the Rats and Layla graduated school and becomes second in command for the EMS team at Viceroy Medical Center. One stormy night Layla had to go get Alice out of jail, she brought her back home to find their father had passed away, both hearts broken and lost they both vowed to stick together and to make their father proud.

After a couple months of their fathers passing Layla had become the Chief of EMS making the medical team stronger and better and has become well known for her amazing medical skills. One day the hospital was super busy and the EMT’s brought in an ambulance full of people from a huge car crash, one of the patients Layla was taking care of started acting weird then she hears a bunch of screaming coming from the hallway, she peeked out of the door and saw people attacking each other, others were screaming trying to run for their life then the emergency  sirens went off so Layla took off running to a underground shelter and helped assist people's wounds while waiting for her family to find her.

## ***Life in Los Santos***

#### **First Days**

After a few days of attending survivor's wounds Layla still couldn't find her family so she set off into the dangerous world looking for them alone. On her adventure out she ran into some people that turn out to be infected with the virus she has no choice but to defend herself against them, this left her shaken up but she had to remain strong so she could keep looking for her family. A few hours later she ran into some survivors that told her there was a sanctuary up at the observatory full of people that maybe she could find her family there. On the way to this place, she ran into a group of infected blocking her path to safety she went to turn around and realized she was being surrounded and had to fight her way through to stay alive, while fighting the infected a stranger comes running in and helps take them out, she thanked the stranger, asked for his name to find out it was her cousin Damian Salvatore. Layla then hugged him tight, and they continued to the sanctuary where they found more survivors.
