Cottage Infected

This woman was a resident of the small village of Sandford outside London in the United Kingdom and she got Infected by the Rage virus. She is a minor antagonist in the sequel 28 Weeks Later.

Biography
She was a young woman living in Sandford when the Original Outbreak began and hordes of the Infected stampeded through the nearby woods. Presumably she tried to flee the place before Infected swarmed her, mauled her, and bit her. She then got Infected within thirty seconds and screamed in anger as the virus overwhelmed her.

Role in the film
When a number of survivors, including Jacob, Karen, Sally, Geoff, Alice, and Donald Harris are sheltering in Geoff's farmhouse from the Infected, Karen got despondent and soon gave up hope. Jacob tried his best to keep her boosted by telling her that they were the only survivors, however, he was angry with events and said that Karen's boyfriend, Sam, who had fled a few days earlier, was now most likely an Infected and would seek out her throat to Infect her. Upset and angry, Karen went over to the window.

However, a young refugee boy had fled Sandford, alive and unInfected, and he rushed into the house, starving. After eating some lunch he confessed "loads" of Infected were after him, including his own parents.

Karen foolishly pulled aside the blinds to the windows and saw an empty landscape. She wondered where Sam was, but soon the Infected woman attacked: She smashed through the barricaded window, showing her formidable strength, and she bit Karen on the arm, Infecting her. Karen then turned on Jacob and tried to maul him, but Donald quickly smashed her head in to save Jacob.

The Infected woman then gave chase with her fellow Infected to swarm on Donald. However, he bravely outran them.

Fate
The Infected woman most likely died of starvation with the other Infected; she may, however, have been killed by soldiers defending London. But she most likely died of starvation, given that Infected can show no signs of major limb loss.

Personality
Little is known of the woman's personality or nature before Infection, but as an Infected she was merciless, cruel and savage, taking a pleasure in Infecting Karen and tearing her arm open. She also was most likely angry with her condition and sought others' suffering. The woman was also extremely fast, typical of an Infected, full of energy, and sported glaring red eyes which symbolised her hatred of others.
