Once an ordinary weekend shopper browsing holiday sales, this survivor witnessed the initial basement breach from the food court and made split-second decisions that saved their life. As other customers panicked and fled into zombie hordes, they grabbed a shopping cart and systematically moved through stores, collecting supplies and learning the infected's patterns. Through ten weeks of mall apocalypse, they evolved from terrified consumer to master survivor, earning their reputation as the one person who truly knows how to live in the ruins of retail paradise.

The Final Shopper carries a reinforced shopping cart converted into a mobile fortress, equipped with makeshift weapons crafted from sporting goods store inventory and armor fashioned from mannequin parts and clothing displays. Their clothing consists of layered athletic wear from various stores, providing protection while maintaining mobility through narrow service corridors and ventilation systems. Every item they carry serves multiple survival purposes, from using jewelry store mirrors as periscopes to employing kitchen store knives as primary weapons, demonstrating the resourcefulness that defines the Final Girl archetype.

Serves as the ultimate survivor guide who knows every shortcut, supply cache, and safe zone within the infected mall complex. Their expertise in navigating zombie patrol routes and accessing hidden store resources makes them invaluable to other survivors attempting to reach extraction points.
