Kaya Scodelario's Biography

Early Life and Family
Kaya Scodelario-Davis (born Kaya Rose Humphrey) was born on March 13, 1992, in Haywards Heath, England. Her mother, Katia Scodelario, a Brazilian, moved to England in 1990. Kaya inherited the Scodelario surname from her great-grandfather, an Italian on her mother's side. Her father, Roger Humphrey, was English.
Acting Career
In 2007, at the age of 14, Kaya auditioned for "Skins." Despite her young age and lack of acting experience, she was cast as Elizabeth "Effy" Stonem, a rebellious girl and heartbreaker.

In her second movie, "Shank" (2010), Kaya played a teenager named Tasha, and that same year, she appeared in the American movie "Clash of the Titans" as Peshet, Andromeda’s handmaiden.
Scodelario firmly established her status as a rising Hollywood star with the film "The Maze Runner" (2014) and its sequel "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" (2015).

I decided to rely only on the movie's script, not drawing inspiration from the original video games. It seems that other characters have lines that refer to Resident Evil, but I studied only the script.
