Sidney Strauss (Eden Rising)

Sidney Strauss is the primary love interest for Tom Snyder in Eden Rising's first season. A schoolteacher in Glenley, Sidney acts primarily as a caretaker and mediator for the group, showing off a very caring personality. She is often times overlooked as a strong force for the group, but has proved herself a capable fighter on many occasions. Because of her profession as a teacher, Sidney is a vast source of knowledge and intellect for the group. She is known for her interest in the anatomy and biology of the zombies, having chained them up for numerous studies on whether or not they can get sick and testing out her hypothesis that the scent of zombies can act as a repellent for others. Deep down, Sidney is concerned about Tom's previous relationship issues, leading to an unspoken alliance and friendship between herself and Tom's ex-wife Kate.
