They were in their late 40s, as Mrs. Redwaters was infertile, they had no hopes of actually reproducing one and instead, they've adopted three children all at different times. Elijah was actually the second child to be adopted as the mischievous child often ran away from home in sunny California to avoid getting into conflicts with his single father that wasn't at all "grade A" material. As Elijah was growing more and more, nearing the age of 6, he was labeled as a delinquent and often missed school. It was soon discovered that Elijah faced abuse at home with a father that verbally abused him and at times almost physically (until a neighbor showed up as it got increasingly louder). He was immediately taken into the system, casted off, and went to several homes that only used him for food tickets. Though, the hops were all made frequently in several months. At last, he came to the door of the Redwaters where they had a small 4 year old girl named Anselma or "Shelly" for Elijah for years to come. Fast forward, the third child to be adopted into the Redwaters clan was another male who went to be known as Noah (he was adopted at birth) that was of African-American and Chinese descent. He was the youngest out of the three children, being only 10 by the time Elijah was 18 and Anselma being 16. The eldest adopted son always looked after Noah as he tried to carry over the weight of school on his shoulders and the stress of going to college as honestly, he wasn't truly aware of his future or what he wanted to do. The family was all together, well knit, with both the two older siblings arguing over petty things such as wardrobe choice or even the fact Elijah blasted rock music while Anselma blasted swing jazz (it was more of "let me blast me music!") The parents were already content with their children, all of different diversities, but all maintained that they were different yet lived under the same roof. The apocalypse broke out, the whole family was in dire jeopardy. The Redwaters took immediate evacuation into the family car, with Elijah using his own to carry the essentials such as gas, food, and blankets. Throughout the journey, both the parents and Noah were lost to the zombies.. Well, Noah was confirmed to have committed suicide when he discovered he had the disease. Elijah wasn't aware of this until he heard a sudden drop to the ground and he rushed into the boat cabin (a ferry for Greenland) as there was Anselma, with a knife in hand, as she had to cut the noose that wrung around Noah's head. All she did was stare deeply into the body, her expression now of confusion as Elijah knelt down and gripped tightly onto his sister's shoulder. All that was met within the next 10 minutes of silence was sobbing from Elijah and only silence from Anselma. Now stationed in Greenland, he now has problems sleeping (due to believing he is terrorized by the thoughts/spirit of Noah( but often keeps an upbeat attitude towards anyone else that isn't his sister.

Anselma, unlike the two boys adopted into the Redwaters, did have parents that remarkably loved her but they were off into the poor class that couldn't raise her. They often traveled around in the state of New York, often fleeing to find new shelter, food, but obviously not to stay in one location as still, they parents loved adventure. The whining baby ever did so made the mother burst into tears as she knew she couldn't provide for the child or make life any better than making nonsense and day dreams on their little adventures of traveling. So, at an orphanage, there was a small casket where the little baby was left alone as it wailed and wailed into the night until the landlord saw the baby, picked her up, and knocked on the door so the nun would see that the babe was almost frozen. Luckily for her, she had spent only a year into the orphanage as she was immediately drafted over to the Redwaters' home as they looked through papers and papers and found their lucky girl. By the time Elijah came into the household, Anselma wasn't considerably welcoming to the 6-year-old as she had never had a sibling under this roof or anyone that can related to such a relationship as her time at the orphanage was rather narrow for her to experience anything. So, it took a while for her to bond to the child as Elijah was a trouble maker to begin with (but Anselma was no different, she joined in the hi-jinks) but he was much more of the sociable, sparking conversation first as Anselma responded and kept her thoughts to herself (but bluntly spoke to her parents.) Sooner or later, she acquired a taste in the garden that Mr. Redwaters was especially proud of while Elijah was more at his mother's side for playing pool. It seemed that the little one had grown more accustomed to the garden and even outdid Mr. Redwaters himself. As quickly as Noah came into the picture, she was more warming to the new brother's presence and joined together with Elijah to raise the brother and to finally act as responsible siblings. Unlike Elijah, she was more balanced in school but often faced a linear social time and interaction with others but she wasn't at all shy. She had other activities that she enjoyed that she was used to being alone or just with her family. The apocalypse shortly arrived as Anselma was the first up, packing both cars as the family was in a haze. The family faced several losses including Noah and their parents. Now, in Greenland, she has taken the role of being the "unofficial" caretaker of the sled dog team and takes her part in working in the community. Though, she can be seen in eerie silence and staring out into the distance, possibly after the tragedy of her youngest brother.

Animals? Strong-willed people? Any type of hoodiesDislikes;;? Beauty queens? People who are rude? Ones who thinks she's weak because she's a girlHistory;; Ranae is the one girl that everyone knew at school, and could get along with everyone. She's fairly kind, despite her negative type of attitude, and only wishes to be accepted among groups. But, those were the old days. Now Ranae is just one that likes to ride solo, and never listens to logic too well. She loves to just be the one that blends into everything, and has no enemies, because, she thinks that making an enemy with someone is unfair to the other person. She's just a bit cocky like that, and always has been. She was raised by a single mother, and has no siblings. The father gave up all responsibility once she found out her mother - Lisa - was pregnant. The girl didn't mind, in fact, Ranae and her mother are very close because of this. Lisa knows practically everything that goes on in Ranae's life, including love-life... which has been pretty much non-existant. She just doesn't trust guys all that much, it takes awhile for her to actually grow warm to them.
