If the TPiaG characters ended up in a zombie apocalypse, who’s surviving and who got turned into a zombie first?

Twig gets turned first. 100%. The gal has made a career of taking hits for others, and she’d be no different in the apocalypse. First “death”, hands down, and she’d hide the bite while also trying to isolate herself so no one is around when she turns.

Kip would survive for a good while, and would end up leading a faction of survivors that the Guild are jointly included in.

Grovyle would stoop to levels he’s not proud of to survive. He’s done it before— he can do it again. He’d survive the third longest, after Lyra and Kip, before dying because he committed a bit too hard to the loner schtick and got himself in a bad situation— back against the wall, hordes closing in, that sort of thing.

The sableye would be picked off one by one, and Dusknoir would follow them shortly. They still talk to each other in half-realized sentences after being turned, dazedly trying to comfort each other in echoes of the words they heard before turning. It’s not fun for any onlookers.

Celebi cannot die, and is definitely traveling to happier times to cope. She acts like nothing ever happened, and everyone in the timeline she traveled to KNOWS something happened, but can’t figure out what.

Ark cannot die, and has retreated to Kip’s faction to wallow in his grief. He does what he can to help the bitten pass peacefully and without jeopardizing the rest of the faction.

Lyra, after she’s grown a fair bit older, would become a wandering hero who does good and helps those she can while thinning the herds of zombies as she goes, so to speak. She becomes frighteningly skilled and many wonder what motivated her to become a nomadic do-gooder. Say, didn’t she have parents before this all went down? Where’d those two go?
