Biography

Just Another Friday Night

The two main characters in the story were searching a mansion inside a graveyard with a large hole, where they were awaiting the arrival of the Doherty clan, all of whom existed as zombies, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie. After the Doherty clan appeared, Hayley asked Tane for 'the amulet' - an item suspected to lift the curse from the clan. After it was revealed that Tane did not actually have the amulet on him, the zombie horde attacked and they attempted to fight back. They became quickly outnumbered before Skulduggery and Valkyrie appeared, brandishing a staff. Skulduggery told them that the curse has been lifted and that the staff was theirs to destroy before tossing it into a hole, containing "assorted things" where the zombies were supposedly trapped or destroyed.

Skulduggery continued to explain that if they did not make it out of the Graveyard by midnight, then they would inherit the curse. A Hound began chasing them as they run for the exit, but they made it and the Hound vanished.

Last Stand Of Dead Men

Hayley reappeared in Last Stand Of Dead Men with Tane Aiavao once again. They greeted Fletcher Renn and Myra in their apartment in Australia. Having been assigned as their 'invisible bodyguards' by the Australian Sanctuary in case "all this war business got out of hand". Considering it got out of hand, they had orders to bring both Fletcher and Myra to the Australian Sanctuary for protective custody.

It was revealed that Myra was a trained assassin, tasked with the duty of pretending to be with Fletcher, and a fight broke out between them. Hayley and Tane both attempted to assist Fletcher, but Myra murdered both of them.

The Australian winner going by the online blogspot alias 'Sparky Braginski' won for her character Hayley Skirmish, based on one of Sparky's best friends.
