History Characters / TheWalkingDead2010TheCoalitionAndOtherAllies

* MirrorCharacter: To Maggie. She has a romantic relationship with Negan in contrast to Negan and Maggie's FriendlyEnemy dynamic. Annie is pregnant with Negan's baby while Maggie has a son whose father Negan killed. Both their names also end in "-ie."

* DisappointedInYou: She's hurt when Mercer implies he'd be willing to let Eugene get the death penalty [[spoiler:for accidentally killing Sebastian]] if it means his sister gets cleared of her charges, and calls him for continuing the enable the ugly corruption in the Commonwealth justice system.

** "Variant" goes deeper into these issues, revealing her stepbrother joined in on her stepfather's sadistic abuse and her mother was an ExtremeDoormat who did nothing to stop it.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She decides to [[spoiler:break up with Mercer and leave the Commonwealth]] after becoming disillusioned with the community's attempts to sweep its corruption under the rug simply because the Commonwealth is the best the apocalypse has to offer and it could always "be worse." Princess likens this mindset to the abuse she suffered as a child and condemns Mercer for enabling their way of thinking, letting him know he's better than that.

** Played straight in Season 11. After some prominence in the early part of the season, he vanishes when he and Daryl are kidnapped by the Reapers, and only gets two brief appearances in the second block of the season. [[spoiler:In the third part of the season, Dog isn't even mentioned until "What's Been Lost" where Daryl says he was captured by the Commonwealth soldiers off-screen.]]

* DemotedToExtra: Zig-zagged in Season 10. Until the last batch of episodes, his only plot-relevant role is helping Daryl and Connie track the missing Kelly in "What It Always Is". He later gets more screentime in “Find Me”, which shows how Daryl met him, and in "Diverged", which shows him spending time with Carol in Alexandria.

** [[spoiler:Dog is also quick to align himself with Leah when she reappears in "Rendition". She was his original owner, after all.]]

** TheLeader: Alexandria is the most dominant due to it’s leader Rick Grimes being the man who first united the community. It also doubles as TheSmartGuy due to possessing more advanced technology like solar panels as well as the expertise of Eugene Porter.

** SixthRanger: A few smaller groups join the Coalition later on, namely the the Highwaymen and the Wardens.

* ActionGirl: She's a capable fighter who can hold her own against humans and walkers alike.

See [[Characters/TheWalkingDead2010GreeneFamilyAndFriends Greene Family & Friends]]

* ShipTease: Shown to have a crush on Lydia in "Warlords", and they [[RelationshipUpgrade make it official]] prior to "A New Deal".

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 8-10)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS08E01Mercy Mercy]]"

A survivor encountered by Rick and Carl while out on a run. When Carl visits him again he decides to recruit him into Alexandria. To his dismay, he learns that Carl was bitten on their way to Alexandria, and vows to honor him as penance for inadvertently helping lead to the boy’s death. He eventually offers his medical expertise at Hilltop.

After the Savior War, Siddiq became the chief medical officer of the allied communities, making tours across them and seeing patients from all over, training Enid as a student. He has a fling with Rosita that results in her being pregnant with his child during her relationship with Gabriel, but the three are able to talk it out and Siddiq agrees to help raise his biological child. However, Siddiq was captured by Alpha and forced to bear witness to her slaughter of the pike massacre victims, intended to deliver a message to the communities to drive them apart again with fear. Upon being rescued, Siddiq refused to give into Alpha’s demands, and instead relates how the victims fought back together against the Whisperers until the bitter end, to give some form of hope to the grief-stricken communities.

Several months passed and Siddiq remained traumatized by the horrors he was forced to watch. He and new medical assistant Dante then had to contend with a mysterious wave of sickness in Alexandria on top of his PTSD and the recent walker sieges. It is not until Siddiq realizes someone has tampered with the town’s water filters that he realizes that Dante is in fact a Whisperer plant in the community. Sadly, Siddiq realizes the truth too late and is strangled to death by Dante, who laments having to do so due to having come to legitimately like him. Shortly afterwards, Rosita is forced to put down his reanimated body, and the communities grieve the loss of one of their pillars.

* AdaptationalCurves: His comic counterpart is quite muscular, unlike his TV counterpart. This doesn't stop him from killing walkers, though.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the comics he was introduced after the TimeSkip following All-Out War; here, he makes his debut during the war.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His comic counterpart got Rosita pregnant while she was in a committed relationship with another man (Eugene), while in the show it happened ''before'' she entered into a relationship with Gabriel.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: He reanimates after being killed by Dante and nearly devours his own daughter before Rosita puts him down.
* TheAtoner: He feels terrible for his inadvertent role in Carl's death and vows to carry on the boy's legacy.
* CharacterDeath: Strangled to death by Dante in "Open Your Eyes".
* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: He's the SoleSurvivor of Alpha's massacre in "The Calm Before", only to be murdered eight episodes later to keep Dante's identity as Alpha's [[TheMole inside man]] a secret. Gabriel even lampshades it, wondering why Siddiq was spared just to meet his end at a different Whisperer's hands a few short months later.
* CombatMedic: Was a medical resident prior to the outbreak, and has killed his fair share of walkers. 237 and counting to be exact. He also participates in the final battle against the Saviors.
* DeadPersonConversation: In "What We Become", a drugged, guilt-ridden Michonne has a hallucination of him in which he blames her for letting him, Carl, and Rick die and leaving his child without a father.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart survived the entirety of the series' run. Here he's killed by Dante once he learns that Dante is TheMole.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: He receives plenty of focus in the first half of Season 10 as he deals with SurvivorsGuilt before meeting his own end in the seventh episode.
* DespairEventHorizon: Witnessing ten people's brutal deaths leaves him with some pretty serious PTSD. Sadly, he isn't able to overcome his trauma before being murdered by Dante midway through Season 10.
* DrivenToSuicide: Jumps into Alexandria's pond in the middle of an intense mental breakdown. He is saved by Rosita, who witnessed the event.
* FireForgedFriends: Rick is distrustful of him at first and is then quietly hostile to him for his inadvertent role in his son’s death, even after recognizing Siddiq is on his side. By the end of the Savior War, however, following Siddiq proving his loyalty on and off the battlefield, Rick finally comes to accept Siddiq as part of his extended family.
* ForcedToWatch: The Whisperers (specifically Dante) made him watch the victims of the pike massacre get beheaded by Alpha.
* FriendsWithBenefits: He and Rosita appear to have had this kind of arrangement going on at some point during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9; Rosita says they were just "having fun", and Siddiq doesn't mind at all when she gets together with Gabriel instead.
* GoodAllAlong: Rick has no tolerance for his presence when he first meets him, suspicious that he could be a Savior spy. However, Carl soon learns that Siddiq is a good man through and through and brings him to join Alexandria where he remains nothing but loyal to the community.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Dante kills him after Siddiq realizes that he was the Whisperer who forced him to watch Alpha behead his friends on the night of the barn massacre.
* InNameOnly: He is quite different than in the comics, what with being introduced during All-Out War instead of after the timeskip, having a much slimmer, disheveled appearance, and [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead no supposed history with Michonne in any way]]. The only storyline he shares with his comic counterpart is being the father of Rosita's child.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Develops one with Carl as they bond over the loss of their mothers in the apocalypse.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for Carl's infection and eventual death, as well as the deaths of everyone killed by Alpha.
* TheMedic: With the death of the Kingdom's doctor in "Do Not Send Us Astray", he is presumably the only survivor in any of the communities with medical expertise. Later, Rick asks him to save Negan's life after slashing the Savior leader's throat. By Season 9, he has become Alexandria's medic and passes on his knowledge to Enid, who dies before the end of the season; however, given the six-year TimeSkip, it's reasonable to assume that ''some'' other survivors with medical knowledge may have joined the communities.
* NiceGuy: He's a good man through and through, quickly forming a friendship with Carl and offering his medical expertise once the surviving group arrives at Hilltop.
* PlatonicCoParenting: He raises his and Rosita's daughter Coco alongside her current paramour Gabriel and her longtime admirer Eugene.
* ReligiousBruiser: Kind of. While he admits that he doesn't necessarily share his mother's faith, he does insist on upholding her beliefs to honor her memory, such as by quoting the Quran and killing walkers to free their souls as his mother thought was possible.
* SanitySlippage: In Season 10, due to witnessing Alpha's violence and cruelty firsthand. Combine this with the 48-hour walker attack on Alexandria and he is barely even able to sleep at night.
* SecretKeeper: He is the first, and for a time, the only person to know of Ezekiel's cancer, dying before Ezekiel goes public with it later in the season.
* SoleSurvivor: Of the eleven people abducted by the Whisperers in "The Calm Before", he is the only one to make it out alive, albeit beaten and traumatized from what he has witnessed.
* SpareAMessenger: Alpha only spares him so that he can put a scare into the communities by telling them how ten people were mercilessly killed; instead, he chooses to honor the dead by giving a speech on how they went down fighting together, as a family, in their last moments.
* SurvivorsGuilt: He begins suffering from PTSD as a result of witnessing Alpha's massacre.
* TokenMinority: Played with: Siddiq is the first Arab-American ''protagonist'' to appear on the show. Arat, however, has the distinction of being the first Arab-American character ''overall''.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He ''hates'' spiders.
* YouWillBeSpared: Alpha leaves him alive to tell everyone about the barn massacre.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KevinCarroll
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Héctor Garay (Spanish dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 10-11)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS10E08TheWorldBefore The World Before]]"

->''"Mercy's in short supply these days. I don't expect it. Maybe I don't deserve it."''

A survivor trying to get home to his family… his undead family, which he neglects to mention to Michonne when he has her accompany him back to his base on Bloodsworth Island, promising weapons that could help the Coalition win the Whisperer War. He intended to use Michonne as a weapon to protect himself from the three people he’d already captured, but soon makes her his fourth captive, forcing her onto drug-induced trips. Michonne and his other captives escape and decide to spare him, knowing he will regret his decisions for the rest of his life. However, Michonne’s meeting with him bears fruit in that she discovers Rick clearly survived his apparent death, and she leaves Virgil alone on the island at his request.

However, Virgil eventually realized he must make amends for what he had done to his prisoners, and made his way off the island to join the Coalition as penance. Finding Oceanside deserted during the final battle of the Whisperer War, he eventually stumbles upon a weak Connie, and the two became traveling companions as they tried to get Connie back home.

* AntiVillain: He commits several ''very'' heinous acts like keeping three people prisoner and drugging Michonne, but Season 11 makes it clear he isn't truly a bad person at heart.
* TheAtoner: He comes to feel terrible for what he did to Michonne and the other people he was holding prisoner on the island, and vows to help Connie get home and inform Michonne's friends of her departure to make up for it.
* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives in the nick of time to save Luke from being bitten by a walker.
* TheBusCameBack: Returns in "A Certain Doom", having gotten off the island and presumably looking to make amends by informing Michonne's friends of her quest to find Rick. He vanishes again after this episode, then returns alongside Connie in "On the Inside".
* CanonForeigner: He doesn't appear in the comics.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Every episode after the first part of Season 11 has avoided any reference to him. Unlike other characters who have not appeared on the show for some time like Luke and Cyndie, there's no indication what happened to Virgil and he seems to have all but vanished into thin air.
* DirtyCoward: Drags Michonne away from a war simply because he couldn't put down his zombified family himself and also because he wanted protection from three people he'd kept locked up and was considering letting go. He stops being this in Season 11.
* FailedASpotCheck: In "On the Inside", he does a sweep of the house he and Connie take shelter in but fails to realize it's home to a bunch of savages living in the walls.
* {{Foil}}: Being a lone African-American man who suffers from SanitySlippage after the deaths of his family, who he is unable to actually kill himself, he definitely calls to mind Morgan Jones. Both also struggled with not wanting to kill people. The difference is that Morgan eventually became a hardened killer who believed MurderIsTheBestSolution when dealing with enemies, while Virgil is a NonActionGuy who prefers to subdue people by drugging them instead of through lethal force.
* ForWantOfANail: Say what you want about Virgil, but without him, Michonne might never have discovered Rick survived his apparent death in Season 9.
* HeelFaceTurn: "On the Inside" shows he's become TheAtoner who teams up with Connie to escape a house of animalistic savages.
* IChooseToStay: Even when given the chance to leave, he opts to remain on the island alone. However, he eventually leaves the island, heads to Oceanside and finds Connie.
* ILied: There aren't actually any guns on the island. His family is also long dead.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: He tells Connie to leave him behind if he becomes a burden as they try to escape. Connie refuses, and helps Virgil to his feet even after he gets stabbed in the back three times.
* KarmaHoudini: He gets off pretty light all things considered, and he knows it, which is why he becomes TheAtoner.
* MadeOfIron: Even after being stabbed in the back three times, he's still able to get to his feet and escape the Ferals' house before passing out. Two episodes later he's walking around just fine, albeit a bit weak.
* MeaningfulName: In ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'', Virgil serves as Dante's "guide" to help him to reach paradise, similar to how Virgil is Michonne's guide to the island and later tries to get her experience paradise by drugging her. Michonne's response is that she saw Hell, not Heaven.
* MythologyGag: His look and prominence at Oceanside strongly resembles Pete from the comics. They're otherwise completely different characters.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Accidentally caused the deaths of his family by locking them in the building where a riot was taking place, which led to their suicides when things got real bad.
* NonActionGuy: Impressively, he's managed to survive a ''decade'' into the apocalypse without ever getting the hang of killing walkers; he's able to kill one to save Luke, however, so he ''is'' still capable of handling them in a one-on-one scenario. He outgrows this in "On the Inside", where he takes down at least two Ferals to save Connie.
* PutOnABus: He stays behind on the island while Michonne and the people he had captured leave on a newly repaired boat. However he later leaves the island, heads to Oceanside and later encounters Connie.
* SanitySlippage: After the deaths of his family.
* SecretKeeper: He’s the only one who knows the real reason Michonne left the Coalition, or at least that her claim that she went to help people isn’t entirely true, besides Judith and R.J.
* SixthRanger: He joins Alexandria after he and Connie are found by Kelly's group at the end of "On the Inside".
* SoleSurvivingScientist: Zig-zagged. It ''seems'' that way at first. Then it's revealed he's keeping three other people, who are also scientists, prisoner. Then played straight when Virgil chooses to stay behind on the island instead of leave with Michonne on the boat.
* SoleSurvivor: The only living member of his family, and as of the end of "What We Become", the only surviving member (alive or dead) on Bloodsworth Island until he left it as of "A Certain Doom".
* StatusQuoIsGod: The likely reason he has disappeared from the show since “For Blood” is that [[HeKnowsTooMuch he knows Michonne left to look for Rick]], a revelation that would likely completely upend the Coalition and send them after Michonne - at a time when neither Creator/AndrewLincoln and Creator/DanaiGurira are slated to return to the show.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's ''much'' more combat-proficient in "On the Inside" than he was previously. Justified as he's now fighting to protect someone other than himself.
* TookALevelInKindness: He was not a jerk before, ''per se'', but he was still a selfish coward who kept prisoners locked in a cell and lied to Michonne about having guns on his island. In "On the Inside" he's mellowed out significantly and has a solid rapport with Connie as they work together to survive a house full of feral savages.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's tough to talk about him without spoiling the reasons surrounding Michonne's departure midway through Season 10.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's last seen heading upstairs to take shelter from walkers invading Alexandria in "For Blood". Even when the main storyline moves to the Commonwealth, there's not a mention of what happened to Virgil or if he's still living in Alexandria.

[[folder:Princess]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Maybe this time I deserve more than just the best of a bad situation."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/PaolaLazaro
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 10-11)
!!!'''Debut:''' "[[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS10E14LookAtTheFlowers Look at the Flowers]]"

->''"I'm not crazy, if that's what you're thinking. I mean, there's the ADHD, the anxiety, the PTSD, the depression, the crushing loneliness, and the active imagination that helps me cope with all of that, but, like, maybe that's the only sane response to an insane world."''

A quirky survivor encountered by Eugene, Yumiko, and Ezekiel on their way to meet Stephanie. She hails from Pittsburgh and worked in a music store before the apocalypse. Despite some initial reluctance, Eugene’s group agrees to take her in as one of their own as they enter processing at the Commonwealth.

* NumberOneDime: One memento she keeps from before the apocalypse is a two dollar bill that was the first money she ever earned at her first job. It's confiscated by the Commonwealth people before the group's interrogation. After telling them about its significance, Princess asks if she can have it back.
* AbusiveParents: Her stepfather was a physically abusive asshole who refused to let her eat at the dinner table because her hand was infected by a splinter. Her mother wasn't all that great either, sending her to school with the infection and ordering her not to eat if she didn't want to eat in the garage alone. When the Commonwealth auditors inquire what her parents did for a living, Princess quips, "You mean Deadbeat Loser #1 or Raging Prick #2?" She also reveals she's never had a medical checkup, no doubt due to her parents' neglect.
** "Variant" goes deeper into these issues, revealing her stepbrother joined in on her stepfather's sadistic abuse and her mother was an ExtremeDoormat who did nothing to stop it.
* ActionGirl: While we haven't seen her in action much, she doesn't show any concern about killing walkers.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Her comic counterpart wasn't introduced until after the end of the Whisperer arc.
* AdaptationalNationality: From Mexican in the comics to Puerto Rican in the show. Enforced by Paola Lázaro, who asked the showrunners if she could represent her own Latin heritage, as the show already had a regular Mexican-American character in Rosita.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's more earnest and well-meaning than her snarkier, slightly {{Troll}}-ish comic counterpart. A key example is the omission of the scene where she pranks the group by calling out to her non-existent backup and then obnoxiously laughing about it when she admits it was a joke, evoking a DudeNotFunny reaction from everyone present.
* TheAloner: She's been living by herself in the city for over a year. "Variant" implies it was actually much longer, and it'd merely been a year since she encountered a living person.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's able to tell a variety of things about the masked Commonwealth soldiers (like the fact that two of them are ''having sex'' between shifts) by picking up on subtle cues in their body language and behavior, as well as listening closely to their conversations. The rest of the group is flabbergasted, but they use this information to their advantage by choosing the right moment to escape their confines.
* BadassAdorable: Has a very sweet, good-natured disposition and is quite comfortable killing walkers. She also looks adorable in her princess Halloween costume in "New Haunts".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Princess may be one of the nicest survivors around, but she's fiercely protective of the people she cares about and can dish out a beating when properly pissed off.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Again, just because she's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} doesn't mean she should be underestimated. She beats the shit out of Trooper Davis when he has her at gunpoint.
* BigBrotherBully: She had a stepbrother who would join in on her stepfather's cruel mistreatment of her.
* BladeOnAStick: Her WeaponOfChoice next to her machine gun. Though unlike the gun, we haven't seen her in action with it yet.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Princess has this dynamic with Mercer as part of her HiddenDepths. She expresses nothing but warmth and empathy when he nearly breaks down admitting he killed two of his own traitorous soldiers. She then gently assures him she can handle whatever problems they have to face together in the future, and invites him inside her apartment to continue their talk.
* BrutalHonesty: Princess isn't afraid to shoot straight and call her friends out on their shit. When Ezekiel starts coughing while fighting walkers, Princess warns him to not let something as foolish as pride keep him from getting the medical help he needs. When Eugene thinks something sinister is at play following Stephanie's disappearance, Princess spells out the hard truth that she may have simply broken up with him. [[spoiler:Eugene is ultimately proven right, but given his tendency to overreact, it's understandable why Princess might have thought he'd have blown it out of proportion.]]
* TheCakeIsALie: PlayedForLaughs. She becomes concerned when Eugene barricades himself inside his apartment after Stephanie stands him up for an ice cream date. Princess offers him lasagna if he lets her in.
-->'''Eugene:''' This is an empty dish.
-->'''Princess:''' Oh, yeah, sorry. I didn't make lasagna. People just always have to let you in if you're carrying food.
* CharacterDevelopment: Her social skills improve after she joins the Commonwealth. Highlighted in "Rogue Element" when she acts as the voice of reason to Eugene's paranoia, and in "Trust", when she comforts Mercer after he opens up and shows he's more than just the stoic general most people see him as.
* CheeryPink: She wears a pink coat and can usually be found in good spirits.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Partly because she's been on her own for so long, but later episodes reveal her to be naturally weird and quirky.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Subverted. She has the deepest voice of the female cast and is a force to be reckoned with in her own right, but she's also one of the friendliest and most well-meaning characters.
* CoolLoser: Princess is a loner who comes from a FriendlessBackground. This despite being nice, funny, hardworking, easy-going, attractive, loyal, and intelligent.
* {{Cuckoosnarker}}: She gets in a few good quips.
-->'''Princess:''' So did you guys set up, like, a super-secret code or something?\\
'''Eugene:''' Greetings! I am Eugene Porter!\\
'''Princess:''' So, no code. Or, a really lame code.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She had an abusive childhood that involved her stepfather and stepbrother locking her in a closet ''until she would piss herself'' and her mother doing nothing to stop it.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Splinter", which delves into her traumatic backstory and gives the audience a peek into her psyche and motivations. She also gets a bit of extra focus in "Variant", where she delves deeper into said trauma and [[spoiler:ends her relationship with Mercer.]]
* DisappearedDad: Her father left when she was just a teenager.
* DisappointedInYou: She's hurt when Mercer implies he'd be willing to let Eugene get the death penalty [[spoiler:for accidentally killing Sebastian]] if it means his sister gets cleared of her charges, and calls him for continuing the enable the ugly corruption in the Commonwealth justice system.
* DistaffCounterpart: Her basic personality is similar to Negan's. Both are chatty, flamboyant, brutally honest, and quite the {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. Though Princess is much friendlier and less vulgar than he is, not to mention harmless to anyone who isn't an enemy.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Subverted. She genuinely doesn't hold any personal prejudice, but she admits she has trouble trusting men after all the hell her stepfather and brother put her through.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: In "New Haunts", she can be seen checking Mercer out as he arrives at the masquerade ball in a very sharp suit.
* EleventhHourRanger: Subverted due to real-life circumstances. She joins Eugene's group as the newest heroic survivor and ally in "The Tower", which was the penultimate episode of Season 10... until the COVID-19 pandemic eventually led to Season 10 being extended by an additional six episodes. Either way, she's one of the last new heroic survivors to join the heroes' side in what would ultimately be announced to be the penultimate season of the show.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her introduction to the group is yelling an excited, "OH MY GOD, HI!" at the top of her lungs. Before that we also see the walkers she has set up around the city as if they were living people (e.g. a walker in a police uniform with a notepad chained to their hand as if they were giving out a traffic ticket). This demonstrates her kooky sense of humor. Also that these displays are, in Princess' words "a pain in the ass to put together", implies she's had a lot of free time in order to do so.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She stops having MessyHair after more than a month of living at the civilized Commonwealth. Her hair color also goes from mostly purple to its natural black with light purple streaks to reflect this.
* {{Foil}}: To Lydia. Both are outsiders with a history of parental abuse struggling to integrate into society. However, while Princess is loud and outgoing, Lydia is quiet and withdrawn. Princess spent a year living in a city by herself; Lydia spent a decade in the company of her mother and her psychopathic followers. "Variant" adds another similarity between the two by having Princess declare that she is not her mom, mirroring Lydia's refusal to take over leadership of the Whisperers from Alpha.
* FormerTeenRebel: Implied, when she tells the Commonwealth auditors that she has a criminal record (though she does claim she was innocent of those charges) and mentions to Eugene that she used to smoke her father's cigarettes.
* FriendlessBackground: She admits that being alone for a year isn't much different from her life before the apocalypse.
* FriendToAllChildren: She befriends Judith and quickly warms up to her new pal, Mei.
* FunPersonified: It initially puts her at odds with the no-nonsense Yumiko, though they become friends after Princess reveals her more vulnerable side.
* {{Gaslighting}}: Her family would justify their abuse of Princess by claiming to her "it could be worse."
* GenkiGirl: She's very chatty and energetic, and is excited to finally meet new people.
* GenreRefugee: She almost seems to have originated from much more light-hearted zombie fare such as ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'', with her bright outfit, big smile, dyed hair, and even her use of childlike words like "meanie".
* TheGlomp: When Yumiko asks Princess to join the mission she is delighted and gives her a big hug.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: All this time without anyone to talk to has made her a bit loopy and desperate for human contact.
* GoodBadGirl: She's a very sweet and bubbly woman, and casually mentions to Mercer after their second night together that she's had "a lot of sex" in her life.
* {{Hallucinations}}: Revealed to suffer from these in "Splinter". She imagines having entire conversations with Eugene and Ezekiel, and initially believes Ezekiel to have roughed up a Commonwealth soldier when it was really ''her'' who did.
* HatesBeingAlone: Understandable, considering how long she's been on her own. She extends the group's hasty search for transportation if it means they'll stick around longer; after realizing the true extent of Princess's loneliness, Yumiko invites her to join them.
* HiddenDepths: The Season 11 premiere shows Princess to be more observant than she seems. She mentions this trope when trying to get Mercer to open up in "Trust". Despite her seemingly devil-may-care attitude she's actually a great listener and her abusive past has given her a knack for recognizing when people are going through trauma.
* HyperAwareness: Because of her ADHD, she can lose focus at times but also has an eye for picking up on subtle details that others don't. She's the only one to spot a picture that Tomi posted of his sister on the Commonwealth's wall honoring their fallen loved ones. This convinces the group to stay when they were moments from making their escape and likely severing ties with a vast community that could provide aid to their friends struggling in Alexandria.
* IconicOutfit: Her pink fur jacket.
* IconicSequelCharacter: She doesn't appear in the series until its tenth season.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: She admits that someone once told her she was difficult to love and clearly wants to make a good impression on the first people she's encountered in over a year.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She doesn't go by "Queen" because she thinks it makes her sound old and pretentious... not knowing that Ezekiel used to call himself "King", or that his ex-wife Carol was his "Queen".
* KarmicJackpot:
** After beating up Trooper Davis, she has the opportunity to escape the railyard and argues with a hallucination of Ezekiel who encourages her to strike out on her own. However, Princess acknowledges that, as briefly as she’s known them, Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko have been some of the few people in her life who have genuinely accepted her and she’s grown to care for them too, so she heads back. This turns out to be a very rewarding choice, as not only does the Commonwealth prove to be a relatively cushy environment with many perks, Princess is accepted into society after being alone for a year, given a job in which she can interact with numerous people, and even starts a romantic relationship with the general of the Commonwealth army, Mercer.
** By not leaving, Princess also secures a positive outcome for the other three members of her group. She notices a photograph of Yumiko on the Commonwealth's wall honoring their fallen loved ones. This entices the group to stay at a time when they're contemplating jumping ship, and when the Commonwealth turns out to be RealAfterAll, they all find what they were looking for. Yumiko is reunited with her estranged brother; Ezekiel gets the medical treatment he needs, saving his life; and Eugene, after a period of deception due to Lance's machinations, finally gets to meet his mysterious radio contact who turns out to be the love of his life, Max.
* KindheartedCatLover: Mentions that she was thinking about getting herself "a little cat" for her apartment at the Commonwealth.
* KindnessButton: After Yumiko risks angering Princess when she has a machine gun pointed at them, Ezekiel defuses the situation by complimenting the walker "decorations" she has set up around the city. Princess immediately returns to her jovial self.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Settles into this with fellow oddball [[TheComicallySerious Eugene]]. And if everything works out with the Mercer siblings, they could very well be [[BestFriendsInLaw actual family]] too one day.
* LoonWithAHeartOfGold: She's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and a total sweetheart.
* MeaningfulAppearance: She's introduced sporting purple hair and a pink coat in the middle of a ZombieApocalypse.
* MirrorCharacter: Has something in common with Ezekiel, Eugene, and Yumiko each. They all realize it and it helps bond them as they decide to bring Princess into the fold.
** Like Eugene, Princess went as far as deceiving people just so she could have companionship. Princess also suffers from self-loathing especially when it comes to how she connects with other people, which Eugene all but said when he was venting to Rosita about his apparently failed romantic prospects with Stephanie in “Morning Star”.
** Like Ezekiel, Princess puts on an eccentric, overly positive front when really she’s just trying to hide how broken she is by all the traumas in her life. She also has a flair for being theatrical as evidenced by her walker decorations around the city. The two of them also go by a royalty-based title, though Ezekiel doesn't tell Princess that.
** Like Yumiko, she also wants some sort of connection with new people. For Princess, it’s because she’s been alone for over a year in the city. For Yumiko, it’s because she just broke up with Magna.
* MoreDakka: Her machine gun. Unfortunately for Eugene's group, their horses don't take kindly to the noise it makes...
* MotorMouth: Sometimes, befitting her GenkiGirl personality. [[UptightLovesWild Mercer]] compliments her on it, saying he likes hearing her talk.
* MsImagination: She imagines having entire conversations with Yumiko, Eugene, and Ezekiel as a way of coping with the stress of being thrown in a train car by the Commonwealth soldiers.
* MythologyGag: In the comics, Eugene's group has to travel through Pittsburgh to reach their rendezvous; here they meet Princess, who calls herself the "Princess of Pittsburgh". In the show, they only travel to West Virginia and Princess is merely originally ''from'' Pittsburgh.
* NiceGirl: Initial awkwardness aside, Princess is caring, good-natured, compassionate, and friendly.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Princess shoots at walkers with her machine gun, accidentally scaring away the group's horses. This leads to their mission being delayed as they now have to search for a new method of transportation.
** She tries to go for one of the Commonwealth soldier's weapons, causing them to hit Yumiko over the head when she leaps to Princess' defense.
** Giving Davis a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown causes him to lose his apartment and source of income, leaving him unable to support his sister.
* NoBikesInTheApocalypse: Averted. It turns out the "new set of wheels" she promised Eugene's group are, in fact, bicycles. Eugene takes it in stride, opining that traveling at 20 MPH is preferable to making the journey on foot.
* NonconformistDyedHair: She's an extroverted character whose purple hair reflects her lifelong "outsider" status. Even after regaining her sanity, she still keeps a few streaks of her dyed, showing she hasn't fully let go of this part of herself.
* NonIndicativeName: She is not, in fact, royalty, nor is she the leader of a community like King Ezekiel was. It's just a wacky nickname she gave herself because she didn't like her actual name. Though the fact that she chose Princess of all things does tell you a little about her [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality]].
* NoodleIncident: She was apparently arrested at some point before the apocalypse. She doesn't go into any specifics but she does claim, "It wasn't me."
* NoSocialSkills: Acknowledges that her people skills leave much to be desired. She does get better once she integrates herself into the group more, and by the time they reach the Commonwealth has become a much more socially adept, though still sometimes awkward, individual.
* NotHelpingYourCase: Her attempts to help Eugene's group and get them to trust her just end up making her look worse. First, she scares away their horses with her machine gun fire while trying to prove how useful she can be against walkers. Next, she starts talking to herself while debating whether she should hand over her gun, including saying she could probably kill at least one of them before the others take her out. Then, she leads them into a minefield that killed one of their horses and causes their mission to be delayed by several hours. Finally, Eugene realizes she's been leading them around in a circle ''all day'', which almost makes a very fed-up Yumiko put an arrow in her skull on the spot. Thankfully, the group comes to accept Princess when she comes clean and apologizes for wasting their time, which makes them realize she is harmless but lonely.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Goes by "Princess" due to not liking the name Juanita and because she thinks "Queen" makes her sound "old and pretentious".
* OppositesAttract: Who'd have thought [[GenkiGirl Princess]] would fall for the no-nonsense and intimidating General Mercer?
* PluckyComicRelief: Most of her scenes have her saying or doing something funny. Make no mistake, though, [[SadClown even she has her own personal demons.]]
* PrecisionFStrike: In "Variant", she gets the privilege of dropping the third consecutive F-bomb in the final stretch of episodes of Season 11. Bonus points for being the first relatively new character to get this honor, in contrast to longtime series staples Daryl and Negan.
-->'''Princess:''' ''Fuck'' that thinking.
* PrincessForADay: Literally. She attends the Commonwealth masquerade ball dressed as a princess (since it's Halloween), with the rather dashing General Mercer as her date.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Gets added to the main credits for the last eight episodes of Season 11.
* SadClown: Princess is one of the most cheerful people you'll ever meet, but she's a lot more lonely than her peppy exterior would suggest. She also suffers from PTSD, anxiety, and depression stemming from an abusive childhood.
* SanitySlippage: Spending over a year alone in an abandoned city will do that to you. She even questions whether Eugene's group is real or if she's simply losing it.
-->'''Princess:''' I've never hallucinated before, but there's a first time for everything.
** "Splinter" reveals her to be considerably less sane than initially thought. While not malicious, she suffers from hallucinations and can fly into an UnstoppableRage if provoked.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The peppy, upbeat Energetic Girl to Mercer's cool-headed, pragmatic Savvy Guy.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She decides to [[spoiler:break up with Mercer and leave the Commonwealth]] after becoming disillusioned with the community's attempts to sweep its corruption under the rug simply because the Commonwealth is the best the apocalypse has to offer and it could always "be worse." Princess likens this mindset to the abuse she suffered as a child and condemns Mercer for enabling their way of thinking, letting him know he's better than that.
* SheCleansUpNicely: While Princess is always pretty, she is initially somewhat unkempt, not to mention clad in a rather garish and oversized pink jacket. Being TheAloner, she likely hasn't been concerned about her appearance for awhile. After moving to the Commonwealth, she starts wearing more flattering clothes and looks a lot more polished.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: Yumiko spends most of "The Tower" convinced Princess's eccentric persona is merely a front for a darker nature and that she's leading the group into a trap. Turns out Princess really ''is'' a good-natured person who is a bit kooky from living on her own.
* ShipperOnDeck: She's supportive of Eugene's interest in Stephanie, playfully teasing him about it and later warming up to "Stephanie" pretty quickly.
* ShipTease: She quickly becomes interested in Mercer, calling him a "fine ass dude" and hitting on him directly in "Out of the Ashes" (albeit also to provide a distraction). They later attend the masquerade ball together in "New Haunts", and by "Trust", [[RelationshipUpgrade have begun sleeping together and forming a more serious relationship.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: The first thing that attracts her to Mercer beyond his physical appearance is that he makes sure her $2 bill is returned to her after the screening process.
* SixthRanger: Well, ''fourth'' ranger. Yumiko invites her on the journey to meet Stephanie with Eugene and Ezekiel.
* SmarterThanYouLook: At first glance one might think she's just a ditzy loon, but she's in fact quite perceptive.
* SweetTooth: In "The Tower", she suggests bringing some candy on the trip to meet Stephanie. In "Out of the Ashes", she helps herself to Eugene's raspberry ice cream after he hands it off to her. In "Promises Broken", she eagerly takes a lollipop from Ezekiel after he reveals he hoarded a few from his trip to the doctor's office.
* TheTeamWannabe: It's immediately clear that she wants Eugene's group to stick around and keep her company. To show how helpful can be, Princess eagerly mows down a few walkers with her machine gun... [[EpicFail which scares away the group's horses and puts her on thin ice with them for the rest of the episode.]]
* ThinkingOutLoud: She does this to keep from freaking out after the Commonwealth soldiers separate the group into train cars. [[TruthInTelevision It's actually a recommended coping mechanism for people suffering from ADHD.]]
* TraumaButton: She counts in Spanish and recites state capitals as a way of keeping her cool whenever things get bleak.
* TrueCompanions: Comes to accept Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko as this, which is why she goes back to help them despite having an opening to escape.
-->'''Princess:''' Not everyone was bad. There was Mrs. Travis. Sammy and his people. And ''them''.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Joins Eugene's group as the second female member heading to rendezvous with Stephanie at the railyard.
* UndyingLoyalty: As they're the only people she's encountered in over a year, she quickly grows attached to her new companions Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko. She spends most of "Splinter" worrying about Yumiko after she gets hit over the head by one of the Commonwealth soldiers.
* WeaponOfChoice: She carries a machine gun that's as loud and flashy as she is.
* WeNeedADistraction: She flirts with Mercer to keep him from discovering Eugene and Stephanie using the Commonwealth's radio equipment without permission.
* WickedStepfather: She had one who relentlessly abused her both physically and emotionally.
* WomanChild: Chirpy demeanor, colorful wardrobe, handles a machine gun like a toy, has a bit of an appetite for sweets... yep, she qualifies.

Daryl's pet dog, a Belgian Malinois he acquired during the six-year TimeSkip in Season 9. He originally belonged to Leah, but upon her disappearance he was adopted by Daryl.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her introduction to the group is yelling an excited, "OH MY GOD, HI!" at the top of her lungs. Before that we also see the walkers she has set up around the city as if they were living people (e.g. a walker in a police uniform with a notepad chained to their hand as if they were giving out a traffic ticket). This demonstrates her kooky sense of humor.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm a goddamn superhero on my own."'']]

* TheAloner: She's been living by herself in the city for over a year.

* BigBrotherBully: She had a stepbrother who would join in on her stepfather's mistreatment of her.

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Splinter", which delves into her traumatic backstory and gives the audience a peek into her psyche and motivations.

* {{Foil}}: To Lydia. Both are outsiders with a history of parental abuse struggling to integrate into society. However, while Princess is loud and outgoing, Lydia is quiet and withdrawn. Princess spent a year living in a city by herself; Lydia spent a decade in the company of her mother and her psychopathic followers.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Every episode after the part of Season 11 has avoided any reference to him. Unlike other characters who have not appeared on the show for some time like Luke and Cyndie, there's no indication what happened to Virgil and he seems to have all but vanished into thin air.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:He makes it clear he feels terrible for what he did to Michonne, and vows to help Connie get home and inform Michonne's friends of her departure to make up for it.]]

* DirtyCoward: Drags Michonne away from a war simply because he couldn't put down his zombified family himself and also because he wanted protection from three people he'd kept locked up and was considering letting go. [[spoiler:He stops being this in Season 11.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:"On the Inside" shows he's become TheAtoner who teams up with Connie to escape a house of animalistic savages.]]

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:He tells Connie to leave him behind if he becomes a burden as they try to escape. Connie refuses, and helps Virgil to his feet even after he gets stabbed in the back three times.]]

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Even after being stabbed in the back three times, he's still able to get to his feet and escape the Ferals' house before passing out. Two episodes later he's walking around just fine, albeit a bit weak.]]

* NonActionGuy: Impressively, he's managed to survive a ''decade'' into the apocalypse without ever getting the hang of killing walkers; he's able to kill one to save Luke, however, so he ''is'' still capable of handling them in a one-on-one scenario. [[spoiler:He outgrows this in "On the Inside", where he takes down at least two Ferals to save Connie.]]

* SixthRanger: [[spoiler:He joins Alexandria after he and Connie are found at the end of "On the Inside".]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:He's ''much'' more combat-proficient in "On the Inside" than he was previously. Justified as he's now fighting to protect someone other than himself.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:He was not a jerk before, ''per se'', but he was still a selfish coward who kept prisoners locked in a cell and lied to Michonne about having guns on his island. In "On the Inside" he's mellowed out significantly and has a solid rapport with Connie as they work together to survive a house full of feral savages.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:He's last seen heading upstairs to take shelter from walkers invading Alexandria in "For Blood". Even when the main storyline moves to the Commonwealth, there's not a mention of what happened to Virgil or if he's still living in Alexandria.]]

* ShipTease: Shown to have a crush on Lydia in "Warlords", and they have a RelationshipUpgrade prior to "A New Deal".

* ShipTease: Shown to have a crush on Lydia in "Warlords".

Daryl entrusts him to guard Lydia, and he later pounces on a Whisperer who is about to kill Henry, holding the attacker down long enough for Henry to get to his feet and subdue him.
