to:

* WeakButSkilled: In the first game, her first aid skills and puzzle hints can both be used at the gathering site, making her a character who's only to be sent out fighting as a last resort.

A student at Leafmore High, Shannon Matthews stays after school after her brother Kenny goes missing, as it is the first place to look for clues and she suspects (correctly) that that is where he went missing. Canonically, she survives the experience.

In the second game, Shannon has become a student at Fallcreek University, and has taken on a much darker personality. Of the first game's survivors, she is the only one who's been able to adapt to the mortifilia infection, which has driven a wedge between her and Kenny, who needs pills to suppress the infection.

A student at Leafmore High, Stan Jones is a layabout slacker who is failing his classes. While he puts on a PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy attitude, he's otherwise fairly mellow, and is friends with Kenny. He gets dragged into the events of the game when the main gang stumble upon him hacking into his school records and offering to do the same for them. Canonically, he survives the experience.

In the second game, Kenny has become a student at Fallcreek University. He needs medication to suppress the mortifilia infection, which drives a wedge between him and his sister Shannon, who has learned to suppress the infection without medication and frequently urges him to do the same. [[spoiler:After running out of medicine, Kenny mutates into a giant monster, and proceeds to kill Mei and Corey, as well as kidnap, rape, and impregnate Amy. He is put down by Shannon and Stan in the finale.]]



A student at Leafmore High, Josh Carter is a school newspaper reporter who offers to help Shannon and Ashley search the school for evidence of Kenny's location after hours.

A student at Leafmore High, Ashley Thompson is a cheerleader who is dating Kenny Matthews. After Kenny goes missing, Ashley is initially annoyed, but begins to worry for his safety after Shannon tells her that she hasn't seen him either, and so she helps to search for him at school after hours. Canonically, she survives the experience. [[spoiler:Afterwards, she and Josh returned to the ruins of Leafmore High, where they were attacked and presumably killed by Jedediah.]]
