Alyssa



Alyssa is the main antagonist and secondary protagonist of The Rise of the Dead. She is portrayed by Alyssa Lightner.

Personality
Alyssa has very high moral standards, often feeling incredibly guilty over the people she unwittingly turned to zombies. She is also very compassionate, as she took time to calm Annika down as she went through similar emotional turmoil. As a zombie, she is a remarkably skilled fighter, capable of high kicks and unusually aggressive considering her status as one of the undead.

Background
Alyssa was childhood friends with Ryan. She was turned into a zombie and was a vicious fighter, turning many others into zombies. At some point after John was separated from Jack and Ryan she joined or at least observed the group (hence why she didn't know about the antidote yet knew that they were heading to a survivor hotspot). Alyssa wandered to the Safe house and bit Annika. The minds of the two were linked and after a bond formed between the two, Annika sacrificed herself to cure Alyssa. The next day, Alyssa was commemorating Annika when she came into contact with Ryan, now a zombie. She held up a container of honey, a food that she had discovered zombies could survive off of, in hopes of surviving the encounter.
