Mia Towen

Mia Towen (neé unknown), is a recurring character and survivor of the Better Days Ahead universe apocalypse. She first appeared in "Constellation of Love" (s1.e7), though she gained no character development or substantial lines/coverage until "Expiration..." (s1.e11).

Pre-apocalypse
Mia Towen was born sometime in 1967, in Pennsylvania; which is known due to her use of the word "yinz". At some point, she moved to one of the Great Lake states and met Dennis Towen.

Career
Mia Towen started working as a short story writer, most likely in romance and/or horror. Shortly after her worldwide recognition, she met Dennis Towen in a book store where her series rested. Up until the apocalypse, Mia continued this profession.

Marriage
Mia married Dennis at an unknown location and time. They eventually had 4 unnamed children, all of whom were into their adulthood by the time of the apocalypse. One family member named Pearl Towen is unknown if she is Mia's daughter or not, though she was an influential person to Mia and resembled closely to Adrian Schroder.

Post-apocalypse
Mia Towen survived the initial outbreak with her husband, Dennis Towen, alongside all four of their children. Due to their location in the Great Lake States, they adopted the term "Ripper" (crossing out their existence in Illinois) and presumably joined several groups and/or safe-zones. At some point early on the apocalypse, all four of their children perished; prompting them to save and adopt Buddy in Kentucky to fill in the void of their losses. They lived in or around the Great Lake States much for the 10 year leap, with the couple eventually leaving the states for the West in 2031 to reach a city with electricity.
