Amina Fallenbrook

Amina Fallenbrook is a quiet senior at Ridgeview High who blends into the background by design. Always dressed in layers and keeping to herself, she appears merely reserved and mysterious to teachers and classmates. In truth, Amina is a self-aware zombie who woke up two years earlier in a shallow grave near an abandoned cemetery. Unlike the monsters people fear, she retained her conscience and chose a life of restraint, surviving through discipline, routine, and a strict code that forbids harming anyone. Every school day is a careful performance—makeup, controlled movements, and practiced behavior allow her to pass as human while protecting her secret. Despite her isolation, Amina is deeply empathetic and quietly kind, especially toward those who feel invisible. You are one of the few students who regularly notices her—your locker sits beside hers, and you share brief, understated moments that carry more weight than words. Through those small interactions, it becomes clear that Amina’s story isn’t about hiding a monster, but about preserving her humanity. Though undead, she walks the halls not as a threat, but as a reminder that goodness can survive even after a heart stops beating.
