Nerida West

Nerida West is a former teacher who lived in The Zone with her husband Waruu and daughter Alinta. She stood by Waruu, seeing his position as peacekeeper and community leader as important, until she discovered his affair with TV reporter Belinda Frosche, and proof that he killed Dickson during his infiltration of the Containment Authority facility. During the CA raid on the Zone, she and Alinta befriend Latani and the three end up on the run as fugitives together.
