** In the first episode of season four, Clem (age 17) carries around a small backpack that is somehow capable of storing a deer skull. Even after losing the bag, she can still put a boar skull into her pocket and later pulls out a bow with arrows (without a quiver) out of thin air (which she in game technically has [[BottomlessMagazines limitless amounts of)]].

* {{Motif}}: Adopted children are a major recurring subject throughout the series.
** In season one, Lee effectively adopts Clementine as his daughter.
** In season two, Kenny quickly becomes interested in treating AJ as his own son, which causes some strife. In one possible ending, Kenny plans to raise Clementine and AJ as his adopted kids. In another possible ending, Clementine resolves to raise AJ and has his name tattooed on her hand. She also encounter a husband and wife with a boy who is clearly not their biological son.
** In season three, Javi takes charge of raising his niece and nephew alongside their step mother, which causes strife when [[spoiler:their father comes back into the picture]].
