Kerry

Kerry (b. mid 2000s) was a Caucasian-American woman and survivor of the Better Days Ahead universe. She was a worker at The Needles, having been enforced into harsh labor ever since her capture. However, upon an escape with her partner Odin, Kerry and Odin encounter the Schroder children, warning them to return to the farm. She was never seen again, leaving her fate unknown.

Pre-apocalypse
Almost nothing is known about Kerry's life before the apocalypse. As she would have been a teenager throughout the outbreak, it is likely she was a high school student at the time of the outbreak. She had an older sister.

Post-apocalypse
Kerry survived the initial apocalypse, though it is unknown how. She also survived the 10 year leap, eventually getting caught by The Needles upon entering Wichita, Kansas. Before her capture, she saw her sister be killed during an attempt in fleeing. Upon her arrival, Kerry befriended Odin, before planning their escape. It took some time and planning, but the two eventually successfully escaped. Upon their runaway, Kerry encountered the Schroder children. Initially taken aback, due to not seeing children since the initial outbreak, Kerry thought she had died. Kerry and Odin helped the children not be caught and briefly told them about the horrors of The Needles. Kerry warned them to never return and to head West, where a supposed safe city was situated. She eventually rushidely left from the children, praying that they meet again.

Upon the Schroders arrival at Penbridge, Kerry and Odin had not arrived, leaving their status' completely unknown.
