Ali Ferguson is a 31 year old woman who was born in Brooklyn, New York. Not much is known about her personal life before the apocalypse was hit, but it was quite known that she struggled through school due to her large height and overbearing stature. After spending too much time in workshop class, she learned the trade of carpenting.
She didn't necessarily have too many skills besides what she could do with her hands, evidently getting into a lot of fights and into trouble. Her dad didn't want his kid to end up in prison or worse, so he worked with his daughter to co-own a small shop in Upper Brooklyn and sold small, wooden trinkets as well as much larger pieces such as fences, birdhouses and fixtures. When the apocalypse hit, she had nowhere to go.
Ali couldn't get a job being a farmer or maybe a doctor, she reserved herself to being a carpenter. Thinking it was only going to be a temporary gig, it became a permanent trade.
Ali died when two cannibals attacked her in the woods.
