Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-049-Z is to be contained in a 7m x 7.5m x 8m cubic room with 10cm x 10cm vents on each corner of the room. These vents should be forcing the room into a temperature of -10°C. Due to her anomalous nature, she must not stay out of her cell for more than two hours. To stop her from leaving the cell, her cell must have:

  • A fridge, which is to be refilled daily.
  • Stuffed toys, specifically pink and big ones.
  • A wardrobe, which is to be filled with clothing, preferably dresses.
  • A phone, but it must be monitored by foundation personnel to insure she doesn't pass by the firewall.
  • A shower, a bed and many other objects.

SCP-049-Z is allowed to visit SCP-049, but only for about ten to thirty minutes.
SCP-049-Z's fully rotten's phase's remains (bones, clothes, teeth, etc.) are to be used for research or be discarded.

Description:
SCP-049-Z, also known as "Beck", is a 5'4ft tall woman with short brown hair and is of unknown descendant, but is presumably Swedish. She is considered to be a zombie, and was made that way by SCP-049 when she was killed by him back in 1892. Although identified as a woman, SCP-049-Z has an imbalance in hormones, having a much higher count of estrogen than testosterone. Her "father", SCP-049, says that her condition is none of your business.
The anomalous properties of SCP-049-Z come in place when she is in a room that's above the temperature of 20°C. Her skin starts to go through the five stages of decay, it's speed depending on the temperature of the room. Whenever she reaches stage five, or becomes a skeleton, she will crawl out of the dirt in the nearest plains available in her non-decayed form.
SCP-049-Z is capable of full speech and thinking at all times, with the exception of when she is in stage three or five. Whenever she's at those stages, she becomes slovenly and cluttered, her speech coming out as incoherent. The decaying process is able to be slowed down, or even reversed, if SCP-049 comes into place with an antidote that it made. However, scientists in the foundation do not trust such antidote, as it contains a deadly amount of potassium and copper. Additionally, if the antidote is applied to SCP-049-Z, she will have 'the zoomies' for about ten minutes.
Additional Information:
SCP-049-Z was originally referred to as an 'it', but that was later changed because it seemed deeply offensive.
SCP-049-Z is described by personnel as a "sweet old lady with a hefty taste for kawaii aesthetics", taking the fact that she's not hostile towards anybody.
SCP-049-Z is not actually that dumb. She takes an interest in mathematics and physics, and expresses that before she was 'reincarnated', she had applied to a job as a teacher.
SCP-049-Z considers all other instances of SCP-049, including SCP-049-j, as her brothers. She often tries to hang out with them, but ends up rotting away in their containment cells.
No human being is able to survive in SCP-049-Z's cell for more than twenty-five minutes due to it's cold nature, with the exception of Dr. Iceberg, but he was banned from coming in contact with SCP-049-Z.
Classes:
All of SCP-049-Z's secondary containment classifications are Memet¹, Declassified, Pagnum² and Simpatico³. She is also Safe-eschaton⁴ and -exsequi⁵.

Note: Dr. Jonas was the only researcher available at the time of this interview.

Dr. Jonas He walks in the cell "Miss Beck?"
SCP-049-Z "Oh? Yes, that's me!" She replies as she draws on the walls of the room.
Dr. Jonas "...Don't do that, maybe?"
SCP-049-Z "It's not my problem you put me in such characterless room!"
Dr. Jonas "Can't be professional when you have the brain of a 10-year-old, can you?"
SCP-049-Z "I'll have you know that I am older than your great great grandmother!"
Dr. Jonas "I'll have you know that I don't have a great great grandmother, or a mother for that matter. Now, come with me, we have a lot to talk about."
SCP-049-Z "Alright!" She follows him outside, as they walk through the hallways.
Dr. Jonas "Tell me, what was life before becoming a zombie?"
SCP-049-Z "It was all so perfect! Every day I would wake up to the chirps of the tits and the sound of coffee being made by mommy! And then I would ready up for school... Goodness, that was the worst part of the day, but I had to get through it to get to my dream job: Being a teacher!"
Dr. Jonas "You sound like a disney princess, or something."
SCP-049-Z "Aw, you think so? How sweet of you!"
Dr. Jonas "Your life is like that of a Disney princess, is what I meant."
SCP-049-Z "...Ah. Well... At least it's that... My father would not approve of a male complimenting me."
Dr. Jonas "Is that so?"
SCP-049-Z "Mhm... He says that evil men will try to use my bones to spread the pestilence."
Dr. Jonas "...You don't believe that, do you?"
SCP-049-Z "I trust my dear father!"
Dr. Jonas "Didn't he kill you? That isn't really what a father would do."
SCP-049-Z "Why don't you leave me be?! My original father died!"
Dr. Jonas "Alright, alright... No need to be so agitated."
SCP-049-Z "You're making me agitated!" She runs back to her containment cell.
