History: (Give us everything you got! Make it deep, sad, or epic, This is where you should let loose on how your character survived this world. No God Moding or Meta Gaming still applies.)
Laura was born in Paris, France. Raised by two people who were in their own rights great. Her mother, a biological scientist and her father a world-renowned professional fencer. As one might imagine, she was heavily pushed into both fields. From a young age, Laura was taught to fence. Countless hours spent testing and working through her fencing forms with long, heavy steel rods so that when replaced with the paper-light fencing foils, she could move with the swiftness and grace of a true artist. While fencing became the main object of her focus, she also developed an aptitude towards the biological sciences. Being home-schooled by her mother, she developed an advanced knowledge of extreme biological concepts at an extremely young age. In many ways her life was perfect. Paired with the physical and mental fitness of countless hours work, ever door was open to her.

Then the Virus hit.

Laura's father, while a bright man, was not at the extremes of the IQ range and quickly developed symptoms. Left alone to her fencing and constantly pushed away from the grotesquely developing symptoms of her father, Laura trained in isolation. Blissfully unaware of the hell that was developing in her home. Her mother spent months at a time squirreled away inside the dark desolation of her lab. Working tirelessly to save her husband. Unaffected herself, she quickly took to self testing.

After being left alone for months, Laura gave up. Heading to her mothers lab to find her parents only to be presented with a rotted, water less corpse that was so badly decayed she could barely recognize it as her father, and another discolored, poisoned body that had once been her mother. With police and hospitals overworked with the dead or dying, Laura took to the streets. Spending day after day living on food stolen from the dead in the streets and protecting herself from the common street thug with her fencing steels. With nothing but the clothes on her back and blades, Laura kept herself alive. The doors of academic and fencing excellence slammed in her face and replaced with the lone and simple task of survival.

To this day she wanders the streets of various US cities. Travelling wherever she sees fit. The world at her fingertips, albeit in a different way.
