Background
She was born and raised in Texas with her father, mother, and paternal grandmother. Before everything happened, Moon loved learning building and tailoring with her father and grandfather — they taught her how to build birdhouses, doors, chairs, windows, and many other things. Besides carpentry, Moon was also interested in learning about electricity. At school, physics classes were the ones that fascinated her the most, so much so that when she got home, she would read several books on electricity and even conduct some basic experiments.
The girl also loved learning about the world and always dreamed of traveling around, getting to know all kinds of places and countries. At a certain point, people began to notice that daisies were blooming in places around the city where they normally weren’t seen. Moon and her family found it strange, but since it didn’t seem too alarming, they just forgot about it.
However, after a while, it was discovered that people who came into contact with the daisies’ pollen would die — and their empty bodies would rise again, filled with leaves and roots inside. Moon’s family found out what was happening and sheltered themselves as best they could inside their home, but after about two weeks, the food ran out and it was no longer possible to stay there. So, Moon and her family set out on the road, looking for food and shelter.
One day, while they were searching for food inside an abandoned house, Moon’s family ended up being cornered by three of those empty bodies and were bitten by them. Moon had stayed behind at the shelter they had been staying in that day, and after several hours without hearing from her family, she started to get worried. She then took a knife and went looking for them. After searching all night, she eventually saw them — transformed into those empty, root-filled bodies.
Devastated, she ran and hid. After some time, unable to bear the pain and loneliness any longer, she decided to pursue her dream of discovering new places. Travelling from QZ to QZ to avoid having to fight, offering tailoring and construction services to survive and making a few friends like Emily, "Angel" and Silas. She tried to find people to be close to, they tried to recruit her into the mushroom cult but that wasn't convincing enough, when se met Silas in Kentucky, he was busy looking for his family and advised against going to the Knox QZ, so after living within the mushroom cult's territory for a while, news about Northbank arrived in her radio, and she decided to continue her journey.
