->''"Mercy for the lost. Vengeance for the plunderers."''

A walled-off sanctuary raised up in a an upscale planned community on the suburban outskirts of Washington D.C. with its own solar grid, cisterns and eco-based sewage filtration with pricing starting at the U$D 800,000s. The U.S. military set it up as a supplied safe zone in the early days of the outbreak and left to face the swarms of undead but [[KilledOffscreen never returned.]]

Every member of the community is assigned a task to contribute to the community, including a group of supply runners, a construction crew that expands the community by installing new walls, and a team of two recruiters that observe survivors for several days before approaching them and offering them to 'audition' for sanctuary.
----
* {{Action Survivor}}s: The residents are not really that combat proficient sans Aaron, Aiden, and maybe Tobin and Eric before Rick and co. arrives.
* AdultsAreUseless:
** In the safe zone, several children sneak in and out of Alexandria and even go into buildings they're not allowed in. There are never any adults keeping an eye on the children.
** Several years later during the Whisperer War, nobody is willing to stop the outright bullying of teenage Lydia, not even the community’s leaders, thanks to their own paranoia and vendetta with Alpha. It's telling that after Negan kills Margo by accident after she was beating Lydia, people turn their attention more towards the fact that Negan killed someone - and not the fact that ''grown people were beating a teenager in the middle of the night unopposed''.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs:
** The Wolves attack Alexandria in Season 6’s “JSS”, slaughtering numerous residents until Carol leads the townspeople in a successful counterattack.
** In "How It's Gotta Be", the Saviors attack Alexandria with numerous explosives in what Negan specifically dubs a "scorched Earth" assault. The Alexandrians are forced to flee underground into the sewers, and the town isn't rebuilt until after the end of the war.
** Beta mounts a solo invasion of the town in Season 10’s “Stalker”, which quickly becomes a non-solo invasion when he kills several residents and lets them reanimate into a distraction for him.
** In Season 10's "The Tower", it’s Subverted. Beta leads the remainder of the Whisperer horde into town, only to find the group has already retreated to a safe location. Beta begrudgingly quickly moves on to look for the survivors elsewhere and seemingly leaves the town intact. However, the bonus episodes of Season 10 reveal that the Whisperers still wreaked havoc among most of of Alexandria's supplies and infrastructure.
* BackToBackBadasses: They become this during the second battle of Alexandria.
* BadassCrew: They eventually become this thanks to Rick inspiring them.
* BigGood: Due to being the community that first reached out to the others to rise up against Negan, Alexandria became the equivalent of a global superpower for the coalition of Washington region communities. They lose this status when Michonne implemented her hardline isolationism, but they eventually reclaim it.
* BornLucky: It turns out that whole community has survived the zombie apocalypse for so long because the walkers that would've torn down the walls have been falling into a quarry just outside the safe zone. This all changes as soon as the Wolves and Walkers locate Alexandria.
* BreakTheHaughty: In season 6, reality ensues for the town when walkers and human enemies assault it for the very first time, making the civilians finally endure the cruelness of the new world.
* BrokenPedestal: They lose a lot of faith in Rick once he becomes dominated by Negan and stands by while the Saviors take whatever they want from their community. Rick’s image is repaired when he personally works towards building the rebellion against the Saviors.
* CelebrityParadox: During the penultimate episode of Season 2, Rick mentions Senoia, Georgia, the city that stands in for Alexandria.
* DwindlingParty: The running tally, by season:
** Season 5: Aiden is EatenAlive by walkers on a supply run gone wrong. Reg's throat is slashed by Pete using Michonne's katana. Pete is shot in the head by Rick.
** Season 6: Carter is bitten in the face by a walker and stabbed in the head by Rick. A whole bunch of [[RedShirt red shirts]] are slaughtered by the Wolves. Barnes is bitten in the throat by a walker and put down by Michonne. Sturgess flees and is eaten by walkers. Annie and David are DevouredByTheHorde, with the latter also becoming a walker and being put down by Glenn. Nicholas shoots himself in the head. Deanna is bitten and later put down by Spencer. Sam and Jessie are EatenAlive. Ron is impaled by Michonne and his body is left to the walkers. Denise is shot through the eye with an arrow by Dwight.
** Season 7: Heath goes missing and is never seen again.[[note]]Showrunner Angela Kang confirmed that he was traded to the helicopter people by Jadis' group.[[/note]] Spencer is gutted with a large knife by Negan and put down by Rick. Olivia is shot in the face by Arat.
** Season 8: Several more are gunned down in battle with the Saviors, including Francine and Eric. Late in the war, Tobin and Bruce succumb to walker infection sustained due to the Saviors’ biological warfare.
** Season 9: Seven and a half years later, Enid is decapitated by Alpha and her head is put on a pike to mark the Whisperers' territory.
** Season 10: Cheryl and Siddiq are both asphyxiated by Dante, who is a spy for the Whisperers.
* TheExile: The punishment in Alexandria for anybody who becomes a threat to the community.
* TheExtremistWasRight: In "Conquer," they fully trust Rick after Pete has a VillainousBreakdown and kills Reg, and after learning that Deanna’s own son Spencer left the gate open for walkers to infiltrate the town.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: More than once the guards leave their posts and pass on their duty to lock up the gate to civilians. Their failure to keep an eye on the walls causes a whole ''group'' of barbarians to infiltrate the safe zone and kill many civilians.
* HumiliationConga: Once the Saviors arrive in town, everyone immediately gets bullied by their sadistic troops. The Saviors loot most of the town’s mattresses and burn them just to spite them.
* LastStand: Like in Season 8 when the communities all took refuge at Hilltop, the three main communities all have to live at Alexandria after the Whisperer War due to the Kingdom having long been abandoned and Hilltop having been sacked during the war.
* MassOhCrap:
** When Pete kills Reg.
** They all have this reaction again when the Wolves break in and start slaughtering civilians.
** Then [[RuleOfThree again]] when the guard tower comes crashing down on the walls of the community, allowing a huge horde of walkers in.
* NotUsingTheZWord: They call zombies "roamers" before Rick's group shows up, and then they transition to "walkers."
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Aaron tells Daryl in Season 5 that his and Eric's relationship has made them unpopular with several unseen members of Alexandria. Though it's unknown if there's similar sentiment towards Denise and Tara.
* PuppetState: At the end of Season 6, the Saviors turn Alexandria into one. Negan kills Glenn and Abraham and declares that they work for him now, and will make them tributes of half their supplies. Alexandria soon rises to become the nominal leader of the rebelling slave states against the Saviors.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: Once encountering Rick's group for the first time, Rick immediately suspects them to be similar to Terminus or Woodbury, but Alexandria proves to just be an actual safe zone full of people who're blissfully ignorant to the outside world. One exception is [[TokenEvilTeammate Pete]].
* StepfordSuburbia: Toyed with. Alexandria is not a dictatorship that eliminates other survivors to steal from them like Woodbury, a CannibalClan trap like Terminus, or a forced-labor camp like Grady Hospital. However, they are ill-prepared to face the zombie threat and leaders of supply-run team runs or the construction crew tend to abandon their injured or surrounded teammates to be devoured by the undead.
* SkewedPriorities: Due to the placid lives they lead inside Alexandria, some of the residents seem to have forgotten about the undead threat lurking outside.
* TookALevelInBadass: Rick begins teaching the entire community to prepare themselves for real threats. It pays off when they finally stand as one against the herd in "No Way Out" and wipe out a huge chunk of the herd. Going into the Savior War they are perhaps the most combat-proficient community thanks to being trained by Rick’s battle-hardened Atlanta group, even if the Kingdom has more troops at their disposal.
* TookALevelInCynic: After the Wolves' attack on Alexandria, the citizens lose a lot of morale, see no hope anymore, and some even act more antagonistic towards everyone else.
* TrainingThePeacefulVillagers: Following Pete's death, Rick and the group begin training the Alexandrians to fight the undead.
* TrashTheSet: Alexandria was overrun by the Wolves, and later a horde of walkers, during the middle of Season 6. It's repaired during the two-month TimeSkip. In mid-Season 8, the Saviors violently bombard the town, forcing the survivors to flee to Hilltop.
* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The people of Alexandria seem to believe that their walls will always protect them from the outside world, be it from walkers or other humans. Rick and his group are shocked by how blase they are, immediately trying to find ways to train Alexandrians, fortify the walls, and scout surrounding areas for threats. This complacency leads to the Wolves' successful attack and a herd of walkers breaking through the walls.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** The whole town is in shock when Rick [[KickTheSonOfABitch beats Pete]] in front of everyone and ''points a gun'' at the Alexandria civilians, giving them TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
** The entire town questions Rick again when he gives into the Saviors and allows them to take whatever they want from their community.

!!Monroe Family

[[folder:Deanna]]
!!''Deanna Monroe''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/twds6deanna.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Dolor hic tibi proderit olim."''[[note]]Latin for "This pain shall one day have meaning."[[/note]]]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TovahFeldshuh
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Ana Ángeles García (Spanish dub), Gara Takashima (Japanese dub), Viola Sauer (German dub), Cathy Cerda (French dub), Cinzia De Carolis (Italian dub), Daniela Bartáková (Czech dub), Magdolna Menszátor (Hungarian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-6)

->''"You're skeptical. You have a right to be. But it's time to decide, if you're the one to do the deciding."''

A former Congresswoman from Ohio, Deanna and her family were on their way back to their state to aid in the relief efforts during the early stages of the apocalypse, but were stopped by the military and left in the well-tended community of Alexandria. Deanna took leadership of the place and with the help of her family and other survivors either left there as well or who joined after, made the community a clean, safe place to live. Deanna personally welcomes Rick's group after determining they are good, strong people. However, she grows wary of them after they quickly become major leaders in the community, Gabriel's warning that they are going to take the place by force, and when a supply group returns to Alexandria minus her son Aiden.

After Rick has a major meltdown when she refuses to punish Dr. Pete Anderson for beating his wife, she holds a public forum on whether or not to kick out Rick. Despite heavily considering exiling Rick, she's proven wrong it becomes apparent that Alexandria's luck will not last when walkers invade the community and her husband Reg is killed by Pete. Deanna subsequently goes into mourning and puts Rick in ''de facto'' command of the town, throwing her complete support behind him. Deanna regains the will to live and gives Rick official command of the town, and dies shortly afterward in the invasion of Alexandria - but not before inspiring Rick and her people to have hope for the future again.
----
* ActionSurvivor: She ends up goring a Walker with a broken bottle multiple times. She doesn't kill it (likely because she doesn't know to go for its head, which Rick ends up doing for her), but it proves that she's not entirely defenceless. In "Start to Finish" she finally proves herself to be a badass just before dying.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, Douglas only lost Regina. Deanna ends up losing both her son Aiden and her husband Reg only a few days apart.
* AdaptationalBadass: When her counterpart Douglas made his final stand he accidentally [[NiceJobBreakingItHero lured more walkers into Alexandria with his gun and accidentally shoots another survivor.]] When Deanna makes her final stand, it was significantly [[DyingMomentOfAwesome more dignified and cooler]].
* AdaptationalModesty: Her comic counterpart Douglas was a pervert who frequently cheated on his wife and freely checked out other women in the safe zone. In the show, Deanna is HappilyMarried to Reg and never once thought about leaving him.
* AdaptationNameChange: To accommodate the GenderFlip since her comic counterpart is the one who has the Monroe surname. Here, her maiden name is unknown prior to her marriage to Reg.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She does not cheat on or flirt with the idea of cheating on her husband, unlike the comic Douglas with his wife Regina, and truly loves her husband beyond a purely political SexlessMarriage.
* AdaptationalJerkass: A mild example. In the comics, Douglas was very agreeable toward Rick's group and never really seriously considered kicking them out. In this version Deanna is much more apprehensive about the new arrivals and comes dangerously close to evicting them in the finale, only changing her mind when Reg is killed by Pete and Spencer's carelessness allows walkers into the community.
* AndStarring: She's this for the "Also Starring" list during the first half of Season 6.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Turned offscreen after the events of "Start to Finish" and comes back two episodes later as a walker, where she is put down by her son Spencer.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Asks Rick how they should take care of Pete without spilling blood. She's on the receiving end too when Rick asks what would happen when Pete kills his family and causes problems in Alexandria. She herself dispenses one to Michonne in "Start to Finish" asking her what she genuinely wants for her future.
* BigGood: As TheLeader of Alexandria. Until she hands the position over to Rick in "Now".
* BreakTheHaughty: Although she isn't a {{Jerkass}}, in "Conquer" she loses her husband and realizes that Rick was entirely correct about the safe zone a little too late. In "First Time Again", which takes place within literally a few days of the prior episode, she's become a broken shell of herself and is pretty much the leader in name only.
* BrutalHonesty: Deanna isn't afraid to say what she thinks. She even thanks Glenn for punching out her son, acknowledging that he deserved it.
* CelebritySurvivor: A minor example in that she was a congresswoman before the apocalypse.
* CompositeCharacter: She fills the role of Douglas Monroe from the comic, and also Alexander Davidson's role as the founder of Alexandria.
* CoolOldLady: Towards Rick and the rest of the group.
* DeadpanSnarker: She makes several snarky comments, particularly after noting how she was assigning everyone jobs that would benefit the community.
-->'''Deanna:''' Looks like the Communists won after all!
** She has a rather understated reaction to realizing she's been bitten:
-->'''Deanna:''' Well... shit.
* DecompositeCharacter: Her role of causing Carl's EyeScream in the comics was given to Ron Anderson.
* DefiantToTheEnd: After being bitten, Deanna ''refuses'' to go out like a coward. She instead kills as many walkers as she can despite knowing that it won't make a difference in the long run. The final shot we see of her alive is her letting out a victorious roar.
* DemotedToDragon: A heroic example. In Season 6, she realizes she is no longer fit to run Alexandria and hands the reins to Rick, and takes a supporting role to help plan the expansion of the community.
* DespairEventHorizon: Deanna crosses this in the fifth season finale, when Reg is indirectly killed by her refusal to let Rick use lethal force within Alexandria.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: In "Start To Finish", she chooses not to take the easy way out and uses all six shots in her revolver to headshot as many walkers as possible before giving a war face. It may not make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, but at least the group has six-less walkers behind them.
* GenderFlip: She is the show version of Douglas Monroe from the comics. Likewise, Deanna's husband name is Reg, whereas Douglas' wife was Regina.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Once she realizes she is bitten, she faces her demise with remarkable grace, cracking jokes and giving some sage advice to Rick and Michonne. When she runs out of ammo for her LastStand, she shows no fear and instead defiantly roars right before being taken by the horde of walkers.
* HappilyMarried: To Reg.
* HeroicBSOD: She starts losing hope after the death of her husband Reg and numerous tragedies striking Alexandria soon after, spending most of the time wandering the town with a dead-eyed broken expression and depressed that her beliefs and control on things have shattered. However, Rick breaks her out of it by telling her that she was right to be optimistic in these tragic times and offers to take leadership responsibilities to protect the town.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: With more emphasis on the heart of gold. She's blunt and disciplinary, but to be the leader this is necessary. Aside from that she's quite nice and reasonable.
* KickTheDog: After Aiden dies, Carol leaves a casserole and note on her door as condolences. Deanna ignores the casserole and burns the note in front of her family.
* KilledOffscreen: The last time we see her alive she is screaming defiantly at the oncoming herd. She turns up zombified two episodes later and is put down by Spencer.
* TheLeader: Of Alexandria. One of her main duties is figuring out the best role to assign newcomers. She eventually passes on the role to Rick as she knows he is better suited for the task.
* LivingLieDetector: She's very good at reading people and thus can usually tell when someone is lying.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: After finding out that she's bit, she simply says "Well, shit."
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: She's the tough leader of the community while her husband spends time befriending the people.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In "Conquer" she finally realizes that her refusal to control Pete was a bad idea when he kills her husband.
* NeverMessWithGranny:
** She is rather old and doesn't seem to be combat-proficient, but she still is able to run an entire community, isn't afraid to stand up to threats, and gets total respect from others.
** Deanna gets bit early on in "Start To Finish" and at the very end, just as she's about to shoot herself, she hears walkers in the hall outside the room she's dying in and makes a face that just screams "Not MY Alexandria" and throws open the door. Deanna fearlessly takes her six-shot revolver and fires all six bullets, getting not one, not two, not three, but FOUR HEADSHOTS and possibly two more off-screen. The last we see of Deanna alive is her war face. [[HeroicSacrifice She could have chosen an easy death]], but she made sure that [[CatchPhrase someday her pain would be useful to the group]]. All this as she's dying, liable to turn at any moment, and can barely stand on her own. GOD. DAMN.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[WordOfGod Her actress]] stated that she based her portrayal of the character on UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton.
* NonActionGuy: She isn't combat-proficient, although this is excusable considering that she's still the leader of the community. During the fight with the Wolves she stays on the sidelines, acknowledging that she'll only be a liability if she tries to help. However in "Now" she does go absolutely ''apeshit'' on a walker, showing that she's not completely useless. She officially breaks out of this in "Start to Finish", despite being bitten, and manages to headshot at least four walkers in a true DyingMomentOfAwesome.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: The last we see of Deanna in "Start to Finish," she's just emptied out her gun and is about to be DevouredByTheHorde. However, in "The Next World," not only has she reanimated, but there's hardly a scratch on her, possibly meaning she took out the remaining walkers in hand-to-hand combat.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Aiden dies on a supply run in "Spend."
* ParentsAsPeople: She and Reg are decent, well-meaning people, but neither of their kids turned out very well.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
** She is very welcoming to Rick and his group, recognizing all the valuable skills they bring to the community. She even thanks Glenn after he punches her son Aiden, being glad that someone finally tried to knock some sense into him.
** Possibly subverted after "Spend": when Gabriel tells her that Rick and his friends are bad people who need to be kicked out of Alexandria, she doesn't disagree with him and says she has a "lot to think about". And in "Try", it's played with. Rick thinks her "no killing" policy is out of touch with the way the world works now and she will inevitably get her people killed if allowed to continue as leader. However, it's also very easy to sympathize with her view.
** As of Season 6, she has come around and become completely agreeable to Rick's group, though this is largely because she's a broken woman in the aftermath of Aiden and Reg's deaths. Once she realizes that she is no longer fit to lead the community, she hands the reigns of leadership over to Rick.
* RuleOfDrama: How did a dying old woman not get scratched by the herd at all once they swarmed her? So her son Spencer can have CharacterDevelopment by coming to terms with being the last member of his family.
* SacrificialLion: For the first half of Season 6. Her death finalizes Rick's taking control of Alexandria, the Atlanta group and Alexandrians becoming one, and her wisdom even in death helps Rick and the others regain hope for the future.
* SanitySlippage: Is becoming more and more unhinged in Season 6 as a result of the trauma and loss she now suddenly has to deal with. She manages to recover, but sadly dies soon after.
* TheSocialExpert: Mentions herself that she's very skilled at reading people. [[InformedAbility And yet she couldn't see just how bad Pete was and how him being a doctor wasn't enough until it was too late.]]
* StillTheLeader: In Season 6. She's still the official leader of Alexandria and Rick is at least nominally subordinate to her, but he's far more assertive and focused on taking out the various threats to the community. After losing Reg and Aiden, Deanna falls into a depression and starts [[YesMan deferring to him on everything]], which causes controversy among the other residents who distrust Rick. Eventually she admits to Rick that he's the leader Alexandria needs, and he's cemented as such when she's killed in "Start to Finish".
* TookALevelInBadass: In her last episode.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: She's finally able to recover from her emotional struggles and begins planning the town's expansion.
* TranquilFury: Her LastStand in Alexandria produces from her the entire time only a DeathGlare and nothing more, although her reactions near the end were somewhat NotSoStoic due to her body failing her thanks to the infection.
* TraumaCongaLine: She loses one of her sons and her husband just a few days apart.
* TrueCompanions: In the first half of Season 6 she's one of the few Alexandrians that Rick has accepted as part of his family (the others being Jessie, potentially her sons and Tobin).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She isn't seen as a walker in "No Way Out", suggesting that she may have been eaten by the herd before reanimation. In "The Next World" she is revealed to have turned and slipped outside of the walls during the battle.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** She is the most shocked at Rick lashing out at the people and taking the law into his own hands.
** She's also disappointed in her own son Spencer after she catches him with stolen supplies.
* WidowWoman: Pete kills Reg via SlashedThroat in the Season 5 finale.
* YesMan: After the events of Season 5 leave her a broken woman, she becomes this for Rick in Season 6.
* ZombieInfectee: In "Start to Finish", she reveals she was bitten fighting off a walker and turns offscreen.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Civilization starts when we stop running, when we live together and we stop sending people away, from the world and from each other."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/SteveCoulter
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Txema Moscoso (Spanish dub), Régis Reuilhac (French dub), Saverio Indrio (Italian dub)

->'''Reg Monroe:''' ''"How is it that you called this extremely early morning meeting, yet I'm the one bringing breakfast?"''
->'''Noah:''' ''"'Cause you're a good guy."''
->'''Reg Monroe:''' ''"The evidence seems to go in that direction."''

Deanna's husband, Reg was a professor of architecture. He used this knowledge to begin the construction of the wall around Alexandria. He emerges as a reasonable figure of authority in the community who's willing to hear out Rick and his group even when things start going to shit. However, his caring nature causes him to act at one of the worst times possible, as his attempt to pacify a deranged katana-wielding Pete gets his throat slashed, killing him.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Much kinder than Regina from the comics.
* AdaptationNameChange: To accommodate the GenderFlip since his comic counterpart's surname originally wasn't Monroe until her marriage to Douglas.
* CompositeCharacter: He fills the role of Regina Monroe from the comic, and also Alexander Davidson's role as the builder of the walls.
* CoolOldGuy: Takes Noah under his wing and is an affable, wry guy. He also defends Rick from persecution at the group meeting and his actor believed that if he could've spoken, he would've asked for Pete to be spared as it was an accident.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Dies getting his throat slashed by Pete and bleeds out in pain in front of his wife.
* DeadpanSnarker: He's got a few good quips in him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Bleeds out from his SlashedThroat in his wife's arms.
* GenderFlip: He is the show version of Regina Monroe from the comics who is the spouse of Douglas Monroe, Deanna's comicbook counterpart.
* HappilyMarried: To Deanna.

* ParentsAsPeople: He and Deanna are decent, well-meaning people, but neither of their kids turned out very well.
* SacrificialLamb: His death proves to Deanna how dangerous Pete is.
* SlashedThroat: How Pete kills him.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: When Reg tries to calm down the crazed Pete, he gets his throat slashed by him out of nowhere.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Being the only optimistic person in the show made chances of his death very high.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Look, I can be a hardass, and I know I'm a douchebag. But someone's got to call the ball around here, and that someone is me. If you are in this crew, you'll do exactly as I say."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DanielBonjour
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Juan Antonio Soler (Spanish dub), Lorenzo De Angelis (Italian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 5)

Deanna's son and head of scavenging for the community. Before the ZombieApocalypse he was in the ROTC and was about to reach the rank of lieutenant. Pampered by his posh lifestyle even after the apocalypse, Aiden has little respect for Rick's group and lambastes them when they don't follow his dangerously foolish methods. He eventually comes to listen more to Glenn, but dies a horrible death during a scavenging run gone horribly wrong.
----
* CanonForeigner: In the comics, Spencer was the only child of the Monroe family. As of "Spend", he is in the show, too.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Gets impaled on several pieces of metal, and allows himself to be devoured by walkers to give Glenn and Noah the chance to escape. Not only that, the poor guy has the dubious honor of watching his innards be ripped out and eaten.
* DevouredByTheHorde: And he gets to watch it, too.
* DirtyCoward: In his last moments, he admits to Glenn that his former supply run team died because he and Nicholas abandoned them.
* ForcedToWatch: He has a limited scope of vision in his final moments and gets a front row seat to a horde of walkers frantically tearing out his insides and devouring them.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: He lightens up considerably towards Glenn's group in "Spend." Naturally, this is his cue to do something rather stupid and suffer a damn horrific death for it.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He gets impaled on multiple pieces of metal after accidentally causing an explosion. It doesn't kill him, though; rather, it leaves him unable to do anything as a group of walkers completely devour him.
* {{Jerkass}}: Something which even he admits very quickly. Aiden is very condescending towards Glenn, Tara, and Noah when taking them out on their "first" supply run, ordering them to do everything he says without question, including attempting to chain up a walker that had killed some members of the community which he and Nicholas liked to torture. He gets pissed when Glenn ends up killing it to save Tara, and is so much of jackass about the incident that Deanna ''thanks'' Glenn for punching him over it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He does love his family, and in the episode "Spend", he lightens up considerably to the group. He dies in the same episode, but his last action is to tell Glenn to let him get eaten so the others could get away.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Shooting a grenade on a walker's belt by mistake not only caused his own death, but started the chain reaction of events that led to Noah's death and gravely injured Tara.
* PetTheDog: Offered his sincere condolences to Noah after hearing that his dad was dead.
-->'''Aiden:''' He didn't make it?...I'm sorry. I'm sorry a lot these days.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He uses "weigh each others' sacks" as a sexist euphemism for measuring bravery.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: He takes a level in kindness and respect for Rick's people just as he dies.
* SiblingYinYang: Aiden is a prick but his brother Spencer seems to be a lot more polite and civil. Ironically, these roles are reversed in their death scenes: Aiden owns up to his cowardly actions and tells Glenn to run before he is eaten by walkers, while Spencer blames Rick for all his own problems and selfishly tries to have him killed.
* SmugSnake: He clearly likes to think of himself as the "tough leader" type, but is quickly shown to be an idiot and gets knocked down with one punch by Glenn.
* TooDumbToLive: Had he listened to Glenn and stop shooting the armored zombie he would of not shot the grenade causing an explosion that impales him on the forklift, rendering him unable to move as he is devoured by walkers.
* TookALevelInKindness: He comes to respect Glenn and becomes more willing to listen to him after their first outing. Except when Glenn tells him not to shoot the undead soldier with a grenade, and he's too riled up to listen.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He clearly thinks very little of Glenn, Tara, and Noah when going out on a "training" run with them, and when he tries to punch Glenn he ducks easily and knocks Aiden down with one punch.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Aiden doesn't last too long, dying in his second appearance.

[[folder:Spencer]]
!!''Spencer Monroe''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spencer_0.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I deserve a reward."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/AustinNichols
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Juan Antonio Soler (Spanish dub), Michael Bauer (German dub), Benjamin Pascal (French dub), Daniele Giuliani (Italian dub), Radek Kuchař (Czech dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-7)

->''"Doing this will start us down the road where nothing matters. Where no one else matters. And we'll all look back at this moment right now as when we destroyed this place."''

Deanna and Reg's other son. He sometimes takes shifts in the church tower outside of town as a lookout, a duty he begins to alternate with Sasha after her arrival at Alexandria. Following the death of his father and brother, Spencer begins to blame both Rick and his mother for his losses, and begins stealing supplies for himself, having lost hope. However, when Rick proves his loyalty to the town, Spencer is soon spurred into action and takes part in the battle of Alexandria. To his dismay, he learns his mother fell victim to the horde, leaving him as the last surviving member of his family. After putting down his reanimated mother, Spencer begins a casual relationship with Rosita, and develops some faith in Rick that is shattered when the Saviors overwhelm Alexandria shortly thereafter. He approaches Negan and asks him to kill Rick and install him as leader, but Negan is repulsed by Spencer's underhanded motive and kills him for his treachery.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: He is blond in the comic but is brunette in the show.
* AdaptationalBadass: Takes a more active role in defending Alexandria than in the comics, albeit reluctantly.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. Unlike his comic book counterpart, this version of Spencer was likable when first met, whereas his original character was ''always'' unlikable by people in and out of universe. The Spencer from the comics was a DirtyCoward who'd gladly abandon his family to the walkers in a millisecond. The show's version is clearly devastated about being the SoleSurvivor of the Monroe Family and actually left outside of Alexandria to MercyKill Deanna. His dislike of Rick is also slightly altered since in the comics he hated Rick for being the leader of his community when he desired to be Alexandria's noble hero, but the show's version implies that he doesn't respect Rick anymore because he lost faith in his leadership and wants to resurrect Deanna's legacy of Monroe leadership. Also his death is taken a lot harsher by the Alexandrians despite his jerkass behavior, to the point where Rosita tries ''avenging him'', whereas Comic!Spencer was originally an AssholeVictim.
* AlasPoorVillain: When Spencer gets GuttedLikeAFish in front of the whole town after trying to get on Negan's good side, all of Alexandria reacts in sheer horror at his brutal death and Rosita actually tries to avenge him by using her one bullet on the Savior leader. Even Rick, the man who Spencer plotted against, shows some sadness for him and provides a MercyKill on him. It’s easy to sympathize with him since he is clearly not coping well with losing his family, lost his faith in Rick, and simply thought he was honoring his mother’s legacy by asking Negan to replace Rick with him.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Briefly turns into a zombie after his death, but Rick gives him a MercyKill.
* AscendedExtra: Becomes a regular supporting character in the sixth season after a minor role in the fifth.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He's actually a {{Jerkass}} like his brother, just better at hiding it. The whole town sees him as a well-meaning, charismatic protector when in actuality, he's revealed to be a cynical, selfish {{jerkass}} and a DirtyCoward.
* BreakTheHaughty: Negan calls him out on what a cowardly fool he is in his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and ends up butchered by the Savior after he says he has no guts compared to Rick right in front of the whole town.
* CallingTheOldWomanOut: He tells off his mother for her misplaced optimism.
* CasanovaWannabe: Implied; he tries to hit on Sasha almost immediately after meeting her, but she brushes him off very quickly. Later not long after Abraham and Rosita break up, he has sex with her to take her mind off things, and later is trying to chat her up and eventually gets her to half-heartedly agree to dinner.
* CharacterDeath: Negan kills him by stabbing him in the gut and letting his guts spill out onto the street in the mid-Season 7 finale.
* LesCollaborateurs: After the first offering, he comes to oppose any attempt to resist the Saviors and considers paying them tribute to be the post-apocalyptic equivalent of paying taxes.
* TheCoup: It's possible he was compliant in Carter's plan to take down Rick, as he was shown listening in on it. Though he immediately shifts the blame to Carter once Rick catches them during their meeting.
* CowardlyLion: Spencer is cowardly and cynical most of the time, but he still fights alongside his friends during the battle against the horde in "No Way Out".
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Negan decides to rip his intestines out after becoming disgusted by how he plots against Rick despite everything he's doing for Alexandria and leaves him to bleed to death on the street where he reanimates as a walker.
* TheCynic: Behind his friendly demeanor lays a depressed {{jerkass}} with no hope for the town and only looking out for himself. He starts to grow out of this once he comes to terms with being the last of his family and developing some faith in Rick. Unfortunately, he slides right back into this trope in Season 7, blaming Rick for their situation with Negan and mocking the deaths of Abraham and Glenn.
* DeathByIrony: His death almost mirrors his late brother Aiden's fate, by getting stabbed, having his guts ripped out, and left to suffer intense pain. He also dies in a mid-season finale like Deanna did.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: The first half of Season 7 provides Spencer a character arc about him trying to overpower Rick and become the great leader Alexandria needs so he can carry on Deanna's legacy, but sadly he dies getting killed trying to negotiate with Negan.
* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** He planned to lure away the walkers surrounding Alexandria by climbing a grappling line without any help in order to get to a car. He almost gets killed for this, but Rick and Tara save him just in time as soon as this plan fails.
** His attempt to forge an alliance with Negan also blows up in his face when the Savior leader kills him on a whim.
* DrowningMySorrows: After the events of the previous few episodes, Spencer decides to start drinking heavily in "Now."
* EnemyMine: Tries to make a deal with Negan on a diplomatic level, but it doesn't work out since he's killed by a disgusted Negan.
* EvilIsNotAToy: He goes to the mass-murdering leader of the Saviors who allows his troops to bully and humiliate his fellow townspeople and asks him to kill Rick for him over drinks and pool. He didn’t realize how bad of an idea it was to try peaceful negotiation with such a man until it was far too late.
* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much a grown up version of Ron Anderson, with his immature grudge against Rick Grimes, blaming him for his entire family's demise, and plotting to take him out.
* FailedASpotCheck: In "Conquer", he completely misses the fact that Gabriel is totally unhinged and entrusts him to close the gate, which Gabriel fails to do which results in three walkers getting into the town.
* FriendlySniper: As one of the lookouts for Alexandria. He's not nearly as competent at it as Sasha, though.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one in the group is particularly fond of Spencer, except for Deanna. Rick calls him "small and weak" to his face and even Rosita (who has sex with him) treats him poorly. Even the mild-mannered Father Gabriel puts him down by telling him he is a "tremendous shit" in an almost cheerful tone of voice. Possibly subverted when the town reacts in horror upon witnessing his brutal death.
* TheGenericGuy: In Season 5. He didn't get too much characterization besides being the "nice son" of his family. He becomes a more fleshed out character in Season 6.
* GuttedLikeAFish: Courtesy of Negan, who discovers that Spencer does, in fact, have guts.
* HateSink: Downplayed. After he TookALevelInJerkass in Season 7, he's grown pretty unlikable, complaining about how Rick failed to kill the Saviors even though he's never done much for his own safe zone, and ultimately plotting to usurp Rick. However, his sympathetic death and motivations, and generally being a small fry next to Negan, mean he’s far from the worst HateSink on the show.
* HeroicWannabe: He wants to be a great hero like Rick, but he doesn't have the skills or intelligence to back him up.
* HiddenDepths: As revealed in "Sing Me A Song", he knows how to read Latin, having been taught it by his mother as a child.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He admonishes the other Alexandrians for stealing rations after the Wolves attack, but then begins doing the exact same thing himself later on.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He truly desires to be an independent fighter in the zombie world, but he's not exactly competent at it just yet.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Negan stabs into his torso, then has him GuttedLikeAFish.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Stole supplies from the town's storage for himself.
* {{Jerkass}}: At first he appears to be the more polite brother compared to Aiden, but it soon becomes clear that he's a self-entitled dick.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** When his attempt to climb out of Alexandria fails and he’s rescued by Rick and Tara, Rick angrily chews him out for doing so and says he should’ve asked him about it first. Spencer points out that Rick doesn’t respect him or the other native Alexandrians and would never have listened to him anyway.
** When Rosita chastises him for saying he intends to hand the supplies he has just gathered over to Negan, he replies that that's exactly what Rick ordered them to do. In general, he seems to be one of the few in the group actually trying to make the new situation work, despite how much he complains about it.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His helping defend the town from the herd in "No Way Out" and his interaction with Michonne in "The Next World" show that he really does care for the safety of others. Unfortunately, he slips right back into his {{Jerkass}} demeanor in "Service", where he blames Rick for the situation they're in with Negan and taunts him about the deaths of Glenn and Abraham.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He calms down the town when they try consuming too many supplies when they lose hope for the future, but after he tells them off for stealing rations he steals them for himself. Claiming that he deserves it more.
* KarmicDeath: After throwing Abraham and Glenn's deaths in Rick's face, he's later killed by the same man who murdered both of them.
* KickTheDog: In "Service", after Rick reminds him he's lucky his group showed up, Spencer coldly responds that Glenn and Abraham "must have been lucky, too".
* KillTheOnesYouLove: He's the one who puts out his reanimated mother.
* TheLancer: To Gabriel when he's left in charge of Alexandria during "Last Day On Earth".
* LeaderWannabe: He desires to become the leader of his community after Rick caved in to the Saviors, thinking that he'll be able to be a more qualified leader. This stems from the fact that his mother Deanna was previously Alexandria's great leader and Spencer hopes to continue her legacy of leadership.
* MercyKill:
** In "The Next World", it's shown that Spencer has been sneaking out of Alexandria to find his undead mother and put her to rest. Understanding what he wants to do, Carl purposely leads an undead Deanna through the forest and back to Spencer, who finally puts his mother down with the help of Michonne.
** Ironically, Rick, the man Spencer grew a grudge against, provides him one too after he gets killed by Negan and turns into a walker.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Shooting the Wolves' driver causes his corpse to land on the car horn, setting it off for a good minute and attracting a massive herd of walkers toward Alexandria. Admittedly, the only other option was letting them ram the gates of Alexandria.
** Gets even worse when the tower the vehicle crashed into falls and destroys a section of the wall keeping the walkers out. Still better than letting them ram the gates down, but not by much.
** His stealing of supplies nearly costs Olivia her life since he hid two guns from the community under his house, prompting the Saviors' wrath.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: After he loses faith in Rick and plans to convince Negan to help him kill him so he can take over as the leader, Negan kills him out of disgust, but it is his death that causes Rick to finally see that there is no way Alexandria can work with the Saviors peacefully, so he gears up for war to end Negan's reign once and for all after getting pissed off thanks to Spencer and Olivia's unnecessary fates.
* NeverMyFault: He takes absolutely no responsibility that he nearly caused the death of Olivia by stealing guns from the armory when Negan demands all guns on their list.
* NonActionGuy: Downplayed, but there. He's technically a sniper and does his best to help, but is largely ineffective in actual fights (such as the first battle with the Wolves) until "No Way Out", when he finally steps up and fights for his home.
* OhCrap:
** When Rick reveals that he found the gate open and that walkers had gotten inside, Spencer realizes that Father Gabriel failed to close the gate earlier when he asked him too and quickly rushes to make sure it is secure.
** He also has a pretty clear one on his face when he realizes that his attempt to convince Negan to kill Rick and let him take over...isn't going the way he'd hoped.
* PrettyBoy: Rosita points out that he's adorable in an awkward sort of way and informs him that he could attract anyone he wants.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Takes Eugene's place as the guy Rosita gets together with after Abraham dumps her, though it doesn't last too long, as she gets fed up with him in Season 7 and whatever chance they might have had of getting back together comes to a grinding halt with Spencer's death in the midseason finale.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Negan kills him for going behind Rick's back and trying to get Negan to kill him and put Spencer in charge.
* SexForSolace: Rosita sleeps with him presumably after he tried to cheer her up after her harsh break-up with Abraham.
* ShipSinking: Any chance he had to win Rosita over again ends with his death.
* ShipTease:
** Rosita starts half-heartedly seeing him in "Twice As Far".
** He also gains the attention of the Savior Laura, who checks him out and offers to bring him home with her.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: His character arc is mainly about how he desires to be a competent survivor like Rick and Rosita, but that ultimately fails when Negan cruelly murders him for his attempts.
* SiblingYinYang: He is far nicer and politer (at least at first) than his brother could ever hope to be.
* SoleSurvivor: The last surviving member of his family until he perishes in the mid-season finale of Season 7.
* TheStarscream: He kept a stash of guns with his stolen food back when Rick first took charge of Alexandria, and in "Service", implies to Rosita that he's considering overthrowing Rick again. In "Sing Me a Song", he says he could be a better leader than Rick. Finally, in "Hearts Still Beating" he asks Negan to kill Rick so that he can take charge of Alexandria.
* StupidEvil: Plans to take out Rick Grimes so he can replace him as the leader of Alexandria, even though Rick has still proven himself to be an intelligent, competent fighter who's killed more powerful foes.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: He's very confident that he'll be able to remove Rick from power and be the strong leader his community needs to deal with the Saviors. He dies trying to convince Negan to help him.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He starts to slip into this trope in "Service", where he constantly antagonizes Rick and makes it clear that he doesn't respect him as a leader.
* TooDumbToLive: Oh, there's Negan. I hear he's a complete psychopath. Kills people at the drop of a hat. Oh, Rick's not here. Let me walk on over there to Negan and explain to him that he's better off killing Rick and putting me in charge. He doesn't know me, but I'm a smooth talker. Hey, we're playing a friendly game of pool together and he's being really sympathetic and agreeing with everything I say. He's clearly a man who listens to reason. Knew this would be easy-peasy. Uhhh... What's this? He's saying Rick has guts? Wants to know why I'm trying to get him to do his dirty work? Wants to know why I just don't kill Rick myself and just take over? Now he's saying I...have...no...guts... I sure DidntSeeThatComing.
* TookALevelInBadass: Fights in the battle of Alexandria and kills numerous walkers, and is one of the first to join the battle. He also becomes a better scavenger in Season 7.
* TookALevelInDumbass: He actually has [[GuttedLikeAFish (or had)]] the guts to say that he can be a better leader than Rick and plots to overthrow him so he can deal with the Saviors (a villainous presence he's never had a serious discussion with) all by himself.
* TookALevelInJerkass: After the assault on Alexandria in "JSS". Takes another level in "Service", where he slips back into his {{Jerkass}} demeanor and takes it a step further by taunting Rick over the deaths of Abraham and Glenn.
* TragicVillain: He's grown an intense dislike of Rick for the fact that his family died once he showed up in Alexandria and how Rick's leadership eventually landed them in hot water with the Saviors, but he's also deluded himself into thinking that his idealized vision of bringing back hope in his town would work out in his favor.
* TraumaCongaLine: Loses his brother and father just a few days apart. He loses his mother as well in Season 6, leaving him as the last living member of his family until he is eventually gutted and disemboweled by Negan.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite Rick saving Alexandria and helping it adapt to new threats, Spencer thanks him by plotting behind his back to throw our hero under the bus, stating how he could take care of all the community's problems himself.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He accidentally sets off a car horn in the Wolves' truck, causing a large part of a massive walker herd that Rick was leading away from Alexandria to turn back in its direction.
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted. At first he and Negan are hitting it off pretty good when they start hanging out together, with the Savior even stating that Spencer could be his new best friend. It fails when Negan shows disgust towards Spencer's desire to have Rick killed and he guts him out of hate.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-6)

->''"I'm just saying... we all lost things but we got something back. It isn't enough but its something."''

Pete's wife and mother of Ron and Sam. She was a hair stylist before the ZombieApocalypse and now works in Alexandria's pantry. Though she initially comes off as a cheerful and pleasant woman, Rick and Carol soon realize that her husband Pete is a {{Domestic Abuse}}r who has made her life a living hell.

Following the death of Pete at the end of Season 5, Jessie decides that she wants herself and her children to learn how to defend themselves against threats, all the while becoming even closer to Rick. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out, as both Ron and Sam become more mentally unstable; the former developing a murderous vendetta with the Grimes' and the latter losing his mind to fear. When walkers invade Alexandria, an escape plan goes awry when the coddled Sam is unable to face his fears, and succumbs to the horde. Overwhelmed with despair at watching her child die in front of her, Jessie does not resist when she is killed immediately afterward.
----
* ActionSurvivor: Becomes this during the fight with the Wolves when she brutally stabs one of them to death.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Jessie's hair was [[RavenHairIvorySkin black]] in the comics but is blond in the show.
* AdaptationExpansion: She is a far more prominent character than her comic counterpart.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: She's a lot cheerier and more assertive than her comic counterpart, though it's largely a facade so no one realizes she is the victim of DomesticAbuse.
* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, Jessie couldn't defend herself, failed to protect her family, and died a rather embarrassing death while failing to save Ron from walkers. This version of Jessie is able to defend her family by killing one of the Wolves singlehandedly and intends to teach her family to prepare for fights against bigger enemies. While she does break down and it gets her killed, it's not in a fruitless attempt to save her son.
* AdultFear: During the Wolf invasion, she's unable to shelter Ron and she's got to defend her other son from the gang of invading barbarians. During the herd invasion, her mentally unstable children are forced to traverse the herd in extremely risky conditions and her youngest son soon succumbs to his fears. She then has to watch as the walkers tear Sam to pieces and even witnesses one walker rip a hunk of Sam off like a sandwich. She's so devastated that she doesn't even try to save herself.
* AnArmAndALeg: Even after she dies her hand doesn't let go of Carl's. Rick is forced to chop it off to save Carl.
* BrokenBird: Thanks to being abused by Pete. Like many real-life abuse victims, she's so broken that she has become dependent on Pete and initially rejects Rick's offers to help.
* ButtMonkey: She is constantly beaten and abused by her husband. What's worse, Deanna actually knows this is going on but can't do anything about it as Pete is the community's only surgeon. She then loses her son to walkers before immediately getting eaten herself.
* CharacterDeath: She dies when she shuts down after Sam is eaten, and is left to the walkers by a horrified Rick.
* CompositeCharacter: She gets Olivia's stylist job in the comics.
* DesignatedGirlFight: The Wolf she fights and kills in "JSS" just so happens to be one of the group's few women.
* DespairEventHorizon: She completely shuts down in horror when Sam is killed and eaten, and makes no effort to save herself from the herd.
* DevouredByTheHorde: Her fate in "No Way Out" after watching walkers eat Sam.
* DomesticAbuse: Carol realizes she's on the receiving end of this from Pete.
* DrivenToSuicide: It's subtly implied that she allowed the walkers to devour her after witnessing Sam's death.
* ForcedToWatch: She's forced to watch her youngest son get eaten alive and reduced to lunch meat in the teeth of the walker herd.
* KillTheCutie: Despite being Rick's cute new love interest, she's eaten by the herd in "No Way Out".
* MamaBear: Goes berserk defending her children in "JSS." Or, as Paul Bettany put it on ''Talking Dead'' afterward...
-->'''Paul''': When you have a child, you find you're capable of incredible love and brutal murder.
* MauveShirt: She has a role in the plot, but isn't the most developed character and dies a sudden death in "No Way Out".
* NiceGirl: She's incredibly friendly to Rick immediately, even though he was still tense about being in Alexandria in the first place.
* OnlySaneMan: Comes off as the most normal and stable member of her family.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: She ever so briefly outlives poor Sam.
* ParentsAsPeople: She may be a loving parent to her sons, but she makes her fair share of mistakes with them. She coddles Sam and allows him to mentally deteriorate without ever really helping him, and also fails to rein in the nasty grudge Ron begins carrying towards the Grimes family. Ultimately her inability to deal with the mental illness her sons suffer from brings about their deaths.
* RomanticFalseLead: The show builds her up as Rick's SecondLove, but she dies before their relationship can blossom. Literally the next episode after her death, Rick gets together with Michonne.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one to the Alexandrians in "Now", demonstrating how much she's adopted Rick's mentality.
* SacrificialLamb: Her death in "No Way Out" is one part of a watershed moment for Rick and the entire cast as it leads to them standing together once and for all in a great battle.
* ShaggyDogStory: Her attempts to teach her children Sam and Ron how to endure the new world end up going nowhere since the entire family ends up dead.
* ShipTease: With Rick. They kiss at the end of "Now." Sadly, she dies a few episodes later.
* StepfordSmiler: Her friendly demeanor in public hides the fact that her husband is abusing her.
* TeenPregnancy: Because of Ron's AgeLift. [[WordOfGod Her actress confirmed]] that she had Ron when she was in college.
* TookALevelInBadass: As of Season 6, she's learning to defend herself. In "JSS", she kills one of the Wolves using a pair of scissors.
* TookALevelInCynic: After the Wolves attack Alexandria.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Is much colder towards everyone in Season 6. She does stay fairly kind though and it's implied she's trying to deal with the stress of everything that's happened.
* WhatTheHellHero: She ends up on the end of this by her son, Ron, when he expresses his distaste of Rick for murdering Pete, which she tries to defend by saying Pete was dangerous but Ron replies that Rick, despite all his good intentions, is also just as if even not more dangerous. When questioned if she now made friends with the man who killed her husband, she sadly confirms this which breaks down her relationship with Ron.
* WidowWoman: Rick kills Pete in the Season 5 finale with Deanna's permission.

->''"You're not one of us! YOU'RE NOT ONE OF US!"''

A skilled surgeon and doctor for Alexandria. He lives with his wife Jessie and sons Ron and Sam, and the state of his home life quickly draws the attention of Rick and Carol after their arrival in Alexandria. He engages in a brutal confrontation with Rick when Deanna refuses to punish him for beating his family, and is separated from them. Losing the last of his sanity, he tries to attack Rick at the town forum with Michonne's katana, but when he accidentally kills Reg, Deanna orders Rick to execute him. Pete's body is buried outside of Alexandria, and his death triggers the mental breakdowns of both of his sons and leads to grave ramifications for the Grimes family.
----
* AbusiveParents: He beats Ron and Sam.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His comic counterpart has a badly receding hairline.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He has black hair in the comics. Here, he has [[EvilRedhead strawberry-blonde]] hair.
* TheAlcoholic: He's rarely, if ever, seen sober.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: It takes two episodes after his introduction to reveal his bad side.
* ArchEnemy: Very quickly becomes this for Rick in the second half of Season 5. Rick finally kills him in the season finale.
* ArcVillain: In the second half of Season 5. The mysterious group called "The Wolves" are the looming threat, but they never really take center stage in the season. Pete is the more direct enemy to Rick and causes most of the conflict in the last few episodes, alongside Nicholas and Father Gabriel.
* AssholeVictim: Rick shoots him in the head on Deanna's orders after he murders Reg in full view of everyone.
* AxCrazy: In "Conquer" he completely loses it and murders Reg with Michonne's katana when trying to kill Rick.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Gives a warm and friendly demeanor to Rick after giving him a CrazyJealousGuy vibe in his first appearance.
* BoomHeadshot: How Rick kills him.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: A dark example. Deanna knows that Pete is a wife beater but doesn't do anything about it, as he is the only surgeon in the community. Lives would have been lost without him, but even Deanna doesn't enjoy this state of affairs - and she pays for it dearly.
* CharacterDeath: He's [[BoomHeadshot shot in the head]] by Rick
* CrazyJealousGuy: He makes a nasty snark about Jessie cutting Rick's hair, and when he's one on one with Rick he's very passive-agressive, and pats him in an unnecessarily rough fashion on the back as he leaves.
* DirtyCoward: He's too scared to fight Carol when she threatens him and puts a knife to his neck.
* DomesticAbuse: Carol figures out pretty quickly that he hits Jessie, and possibly Sam as well.
* DrJerk: He's a surgeon and is a shitty person.
* DueToTheDead: Rick gets Deanna's permission to simply dump his body far away from the community, but this is ultimately subverted when Rick begrudgingly gives him a proper burial both to acquiesce Morgan and to try to earn Ron's trust.
* EvilAllAlong: The people of Alexandria ''finally'' realize this in the end of "Conquer," when he murders [[NiceGuy Reg]].
* EvilRedhead: He has strawberry blonde hair and is revealed to be a shitty person.
* FalseFriend: As you can tell by the other tropes, he is this in Alexandria. This doesn't become obvious until his talk with Rick.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Almost from the start, he puts on a friendly facade, but there's clearly something off about him and he leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. The fact that he's a domestic abuser helps, too.
* FreudianExcuse: WordOfGod says that he secretly blames his wife and kids for "forcing him" into taking med school as he originally wanted to be an artist.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Pete is introduced to the audience, smoking alone in the dark, bitterly remarking that his wife cut Rick's hair. It's not much, but it casts a pretty sinister shadow on Pete's character early on.
* HateSink: He is the most despicable member of Alexandria and the only one shown to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: His sons inherit his mental instability bordering on outright insanity, though Jessie does little to help her children get through it either.
** Sam is completely traumatized by Carol's threat and begins to completely shut down mentally. His final, complete shutdown leads to his own death and that of his family.
** Ron inherits Pete's vengeful nature and hates Rick and Carl for his father's death, and Jessie doesn't devote much time to getting him to let go of his hate. Ron ultimately dies in a crazed, vengeful rampage as his father did.
* KickTheDog: He punches Jessie in full view of everyone when she tries to stop his fight with Rick. He later murders [[NiceGuy Reg]] in cold blood when he tries to defend Rick.
* MadnessMantra: THIS IS MY HOUSE! THIS IS MY HOUSE! After his fight with Rick, the community makes him stay alone in one of the other empty houses away from his wife and children: he really starts losing it and just incoherently bellows "THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE! THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE!" while smashing up the furniture.
* TheMedic: It's the only reason why he was never exiled from Alexandria.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Tries to kill Rick in a desperate attempt to reclaim his wife.
* NeverMyFault: Blames Rick for convincing his family to leave him. [[SarcasmMode It's probably not the fact that]] he's a {{Domestic Abuse}}r. After he accidentally slices Reg's neck open, he keeps yelling "IT WAS HIM! IT WAS HIM!" (referring to Rick) despite having done it in front of the whole town.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is on both the giving and receiving end of one in his fight with Rick.
* OneSteveLimit: With [[Characters/TheWalkingDeadTVShowOtherSurvivors Pete Dolgen]].
* SacrificialLamb: He's by no means a sympthetic character, but his death (which Deanna ordered Rick to carry out) is the first sign of the changes to come in Alexandria.
* SanitySlippage: ''Flips out'' when Rick tries to help his family escape him. This quickly escalates into a brutal fight.
* TokenEvilTeammate: In his family, being a {{Domestic Abuse}}r. He's also the most despicable person of Alexandria.
* UnstoppableRage: Completely loses his shit after Rick tells him to leave and fights him to a standstill with animalistic ferocity.
* WouldHitAGirl: Hits his wife to assert himself.
* WouldHurtAChild: Carol suspects that he beats his son Sam as well as his wife. It's confirmed in Season 6 that he's beaten Ron so badly that he can't even lift one of his arms.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Even with AdaptationalAttractiveness on his side, Jessie is ''still'' considered out of his league.
* UnskilledButStrong: Even though he's not a fighter, and actually is a little bit overweight, he's able to match Rick's skill through sheer force. He only barely counts as this, as his reflexes are too slow for him to put up much of a fight against Glenn or Carol.
* VillainousBreakdown: He ''snaps'' and tries to kill Rick one last time, only to kill Reg in a fit of rage.

[[folder:Ron]]
!!''Ron Anderson''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/season_six_ron_anderson_2.png]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Austin Abrams
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Miguel Antelo (Spanish dub), Daigo Fujimaki (Japanese dub), Julien Crampon (French dub), Arturo Valli (Italian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-6)

->''"Your dad's just gonna get more people killed. Cause that's what he does, that's who he is."''

The eldest son of Pete and Jessie. His girlfriend is Enid. When his father is executed by Rick, he slowly begins to lose his mind out of grief and despair, despite having also been a victim of his father's abuse. He comes to desire to murder Rick for his actions, and ultimately centers most of his rage on Carl. After a few botched attempts at killing Carl, he ultimately loses his family to the walker herd during the walker invasion. Though he fails to kill either Grimes, he does succeed in destroying one of Carl's eyes, but is quickly slain by Michonne for his betrayal.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's very antagonistic compared to his comic counterpart.
* AgeLift: Similar to Carl, he's about 8-10 in the comics.
* AlasPoorVillain: You can feel sympathy with him in his final moments as you recognize his true despair at having just watched his little brother and mother die horrible deaths. Even as he’s turning his weapon on Rick, his expression isn’t of rage, but sorrow, as if he desperately wants to avenge his family by killing the man he blames for it. Add to his clear mental decline and trauma from his father’s abuse, and it’s hard to not see the poor kid as a disturbed, tragic villain. Even after foiling his murder attempt and telling him his father was an asshole, Carl admits that he understands where he’s coming from.
* ArcVillain: He's the closest character to a main antagonist in the beginning of Season 6. However, he's mostly a villain to Carl's character arc.
* ArchEnemy: Towards Carl. He blames him for losing his father and his girlfriend.
* AscendedExtra: Becomes a more substantial character in Season 6.
* AssholeVictim: Nobody is going to miss him. It's telling that only a moment after realizing his betrayal, Rick accepts Ron's death with a satisfied look.
* AvengingTheVillain: He wants Rick dead for killing his father Pete.
* BigBadEnsemble: Technically fits this role with the Alpha Wolf and walker herd in the first half of Season 6. In terms of threat level, however, he doesn't hold a candle to the other antagonists and is pretty pathetic.
* BigBadWannabe: He's such an [[StupidEvil incompetent villain]] that Carl doesn't even see him as a big threat and quickly brushes off his pathetic murder attempt.
* BullyingADragon: Carl's not going to be easy enough to kill himself, but Ron was deranged enough to try to kill him while his father (a cannibal-hacking, throat-biting PapaWolf if there ever was one) is in the other room. And then there's the matter of Carl's surrogate mother Michonne, who impales him with her katana for his final attempt to kill Rick.
* CharacterDeath: Killed by Michonne after attacking Rick in a vengeful craze in "No Way Out".
* CompositeCharacter: Takes Douglas Monroe's role in the comics of causing Carl's EyeScream. His hatred of Rick and Carl are reminiscent of Brandon Rose, a Hilltop survivor that debuts later in the timeline.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Jealous of Carl's budding friendship with Enid.
* DeathGlare: Constantly delivers an angry grimace towards Carl. This is pretty much his default expression during Season 6, and just about the only time it's not present is when he's trying to comfort Sam and get him to keep moving.
* DecompositeCharacter: His CharacterDevelopment in the comics was given to his younger brother Sam in the show. Even his comics death was given to him.
* DespairEventHorizon: Goes cracker jacks when his entire family is DevouredByTheHorde and attempts to kill Rick and Carl in a last ditch effort. Unfortunately for him, he dies by Michonne's sword.
* DevouredByTheHorde: His body is left to the walkers after Michonne kills him.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being an irredeemable asshole, he loves his family, even his abusive father Pete. His entire SanitySlippage comes about because he's distraught over the loss of his father, genuinely believes he's protecting his mother by denouncing Rick, and you can see the love he has in his eyes as he tries to comfort his equally unstable little brother when they're surrounded by the herd.
* EvilCounterpart: Eventually becomes this to Carl. Both their mothers found new love after their respective fathers' disappearance, both have younger siblings, and both have loyalty to their respective fathers despite their complicated relationship with them.
* FaceHeelTurn: He's stolen ammunition for his gun from the safe zone supplies. In "Start to Finish", Ron directly tries to kill Carl and very nearly succeeds in "No Way Out".
* FalseFriend: Had more sinister intentions in mind when seemingly making amends with Rick in "Now". He soon afterward tries to kill Carl.
* ForcedToWatch: Like his mother, he's forced to watch his little brother get torn to pieces by the herd. Then he has to watch his mother suffer the same fate.
* TheGenericGuy: In Season 5, he is mostly just the "extra son" in Pete's family. He gets more characterization in Season 6.
* GreenEyedMonster: He's ''very'' jealous of Carl. As he blames all of his emotional problems on him.
* IdiotBall: Instead of taking shelter with Carl and Enid during the invasion of Alexandria, Ron chooses to hide by himself simply because he hates Carl.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Michonne does this to him with her katana to kill him.
* InNameOnly: Has little resemblance to his comic counterpart sans name. His younger brother Sam [[DecompositeCharacter essentially fills that role]].
* InTheBlood: His petty rivalry with Carl and AmbiguouslyEvil personality mirrors his father Pete and his vendetta with Rick.
* ItsPersonal: He wants Carl dead because of his father's death and the loss of his girlfriend Enid.
* {{Jerkass}}: In Season 6. At first it's understandable because he is lashing out in grief following the death of his father, but his behavior starts to become inexcusable and downright malicious as the season goes on.
* JerkassHasAPoint: His refusal to let Carl run off to find Enid after Walkers have surrounded Alexandria is motivated by jealousy and spite rather than caring about Carl's life, but he makes a pretty valid point when he points out how stupid it is and that it could cost more lives when people would inevitably run after him.
* KarmicDeath: After trying to kill Carl and Rick for killing his own father (and also blaming them for the death of his mother), he's killed by Carl's surrogate mother.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: He's become a CrazyJealousGuy and an enemy towards the Grimes family exactly like his father. He's then killed by an honorary member of the Grimes family, Michonne, with the katana his father stole that ultimately led to his execution.
* TheLoad: This guy can't do anything right.
* LoveMartyr: He loves Pete despite the abuse he caused on his family.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His fight with Carl in "Start to Finish" draws the walkers to the house where they are hiding.
* PetTheDog: Genuinely tries to comfort Sam when he starts to get scared of the walkers.
* SanitySlippage: He becomes more and more deranged as Season 6 goes on, and like his younger brother, always has a glazed over look in his eyes.
* ShutUpHannibal: When he tells Carl that his father Rick is an idiot who gets people killed, Carl immediately points out that his father [[AxCrazy Pete]] was a real monster who also got people killed.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Subverted. In the comics, he dies before his mother. Here, he outlived her and his brother ([[DecompositeCharacter with the latter even taking his comics death]]) shortly before Michonne finished him off for good.
* StockholmSyndrome: Like many unfortunate real life cases, he dearly loves his father even though Pete beat him so badly that he can’t raise one of his arms.
* StupidEvil: He attempts to kill Carl while in his garage with an army of walkers on the outside of their house and [[PapaWolf Rick]] inside the house. Later, he does actually try to kill Carl, while in a herd of walkers, with [[MamaBear Michonne]] right there.
* TeensAreMonsters: Probably the worst kid on the show after [[SanitySlippage Lizzie]].
* ThickerThanWater: Even though Pete abused him, he qualifies for this trope since he's upset that Rick tries to basically toss his father's corpse outside the walls of Alexandria. He even blames Carl as well, to the point where he refuses Carl's help when the Wolves are attacking and Carl proves himself to be more than capable of protecting him.
* TooDumbToLive: In the mid-season finale, his attempts to kill Carl accidentally lures zombies to his family's location, endangering everyone. After his mother and brother are DevouredByTheHorde, he crosses the DespairEventHorizon and tries to kill Carl and Rick, [[MamaBear right in front of Michonne.]] [[KilledOffForReal It ends as badly as you think.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Jessie begins teaching him to defend himself, and he starts receiving gun training from Rick and Carl as well. Unfortunately, he decides to use these skills to take vengeance on Carl.
* TookALevelInCynic: Throughout the first half of Season 6, we see how much he sinks from the previous NiceGuy he used to be.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He absolutely hates Rick for killing his father. He's much more colder and distant towards everyone as a result of the event.
* UngratefulBastard:
** When Carl saves his life from the Wolves, Ron tells him that he didn't need help and runs off instead of staying to help Carl and ''his girlfriend'' defend themselves.
** Despite Rick and ''his mother'' doing everything they can to fortify their house from a walker attack, all he does is criticize Rick's attempts to save them and declare that they're all screwed.
* UnknownRival: Has a strong vendetta against the Grimeses, but both Rick and Carl had other things in mind. Carl finally figures it out when Ron tries to kill him, though Rick is still oblivious until "No Way Out".
* YouKilledMyFather: The reason why he starts hating Rick.

[[folder:Sam]]
!!''Sam Anderson''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_anderson_twdtv.png]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MajorDodson
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Amparo Bravo (Spanish dub), Daniele De Ambrosis (Italian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-6)

->''"You kill people...do you turn into one of the monsters?"''

The youngest son of Pete and Jessie. When he discovers Carol stealing supplies, his first instinct is to tell his mom, but Carol refuses, and instead threatens to tie him to a tree far away from home and leave him for the walkers. Despite being traumatized by this threat, Sam nonetheless confides in Carol that his father is abusing their family, leading to Rick eventually executing Pete. Traumatized even further, Sam slowly grows more withdrawn and begins imagining a death at the walkers' hands. Ultimately, his worst fear comes true when he gets devoured during the herd invasion of Alexandria, after suffering a breakdown upon remembering Carol's threat.
----
* BreakTheCutie: When he stumbles on Carol hiding supplies and says he'll tell his mom, Carol scares him into silence by saying that if he does that she'll tie him to a tree and leave him to be eaten by walkers. He's not had a pleasant childhood to begin with, considering that Carol suspects that he's beaten by his father. Not to mention when he comes to Carol seeking advice, she simply tells him that he should accept his father beat him, suck it, up and move on before angrily telling him to go home, further worsening his condition. In Season 6, the constant trauma he has had to endure at such a young age starts to take a visible toll on his sanity. He suffers a complete mental breakdown when trying to camouflage with the herd, after remembering Carol's threat, and is killed.
* CannotTellALie: He tells Carol that Jessie has taught him to never keep anything from her.
* CharacterDeath: Gets devoured when he freezes up and starts to whimper in the middle of the herd.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: He's young enough to be easily swayed when Carol bribes him with cookies. He also still tries to make friends with Carol, even though she's hostile towards him. This innocence is completely destroyed after watching his father fight Rick and his subsequent death. Finally, his innocence gets him killed because he ultimately can't handle seeing walkers.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Sam has the dubious honor of having the ''worst'' fate suffered by a child in the series so far. After losing his mind to fear thanks to Carol's threat, he's forced to face them and suffers a complete breakdown in the middle of the herd. Despite his dependance on his mother, she is unable to save him from his worst nightmare and he's grabbed and torn to pieces screaming for her.
* DecompositeCharacter: Though Pete and Jessie only had Ron in the comics, he's the one receiving the story arc in the comics that his older brother is supposed to be receiving. He even received his comics death.
* DeconstructedTrope: A little kid who's known nothing but safety his whole life (even with the trauma of an abusive father) is more than likely going to break down like Sam has when faced with the relentless horrors of a post-apocalyptic world. Sam's had to witness the threat of flesh-eating, undead monsters and gleefully murderous living monsters. It's more tragic than anything to see Sam panicking and crying for his mom when he's surrounded by the herd.
* DespairEventHorizon: Has a complete breakdown after remembering Carol's threat at the worst possible moment and can't be convinced to keep moving. He's immediately eaten.
* DevouredByTheHorde: Carol threatens that she will cause this to happen if he rats her out. It tragically becomes a reality in "No Way Out" when after remembering Carol's threat, he freezes up and begins whimpering, and is then grabbed and devoured.
* FacialHorror: The walkers munch into his head like an apple.
* HeroicBSOD: Suffers several in "Start to Finish". It eventually culminates together in "No Way Out" when Sam can't handle being in the walker herd and starts to whimper for his mother, causing several walkers to descend upon and devour him.
* InNameOnly: Inverted. He's essentially [[DecompositeCharacter his older brother's comicbook counterpart]] in all but name.
* IWantMyMommy: Of the PlayedForDrama kind. He lets out a horrifically heartbreaking one of these when he's slowly EatenAlive by the herd. Jessie is unable to save him.
* KillTheCutie: Poor kid is devoured while screaming for his mother in "No Way Out".
* TheLoad: Being a child and all, there's not much use he can really provide. Thanks to his SanitySlippage he becomes a ''major'' problem for Rick when they're hiding from the herd. He ends up causing his own death as well as Jessie and Ron's.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: See TooDumbToLive. Him freezing up in the middle of the herd causes a chain reaction that results in the death of himself, Jessie, and Ron, as well as Carl getting shot in the eye.
* SanitySlippage: He inherited his father's mental instability, for sure.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: He tells his mom that he can brave through the walker herd and work with Rick's group. He was wrong.
* ThousandYardStare: When the walker herd breaks into Alexandria, he's shown staring off into space several times while everyone else is trying to fortify the house. Sam doesn't even turn the music off after his mother tells him to, seeming to have completely shut down. After remembering Carol's threat back in Season 5, he stares out across the herd. He breaks as a result and meets his end.
* TooDumbToLive: He didn't turn off the loud music in his bedroom being told to do so when their house rapidly became a hotspot of walker activity. After escaping the main herd, Sam is told by his mother to go with Gabriel and hide where he'll be safe. Despite this being the best thing one could do for Sam, he refuses to because he's afraid to leave his mother's side, even though '''everyone''' there is begging him to do so. Failure to do so results in him causing him, his mother, and his brother to die and causes Carl to lose an eye.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cookies. A remorseful Carol later leaves one at his grave.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"The more afraid they get, the more stupid they get. Fear shrinks the brain."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/RossMarquand
!!!'''Voiced By:''' David Robles (Spanish dub), Marius Clarén (German dub), Thibaut Lacour (French dub), Edoardo Stoppacciaro (Italian dub), Marek Libert (Czech dub), Dávid Szatory [Seasons 5-9], Lehel Kisfalusi [Season 9-present] (Hungarian dub)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-11)

->''"What we're doing is gonna keep people living. We get to do that, it doesn't matter what happens to us. But either your heart's beating, or it isn't. Your loved ones' hearts are beating, or they aren't."''

Before the ZombieApocalypse Aaron worked for a NGO organization. His good heart, people skills, and ability to recognize good people from bad led to him becoming Alexandria's chief recruiter, screening wandering survivors to see if they'll make worthy additions to the town. He is in a relationship with Eric, something that makes the two of them outcasts in Alexandria.

Aaron approaches Rick's large, powerful group during their trek to Washington, D.C., and offers them sanctuary. It takes quite a bit of effort on their part, but they ultimately see Aaron's benevolence and allow him to escort them back to town. Aaron is one of the group's closest friends during their transitional period, understanding their hesitation about their new home, and gives Daryl the job of fellow recruiter after Eric was injured during their initial meeting with the group.

In Season 6, Aaron discovers he was, unwittingly, the responsible party for the Wolf invasion of Alexandria. Horrified, Aaron begins striving to make amends, and is the first of the group to learn of Maggie's pregnancy. Aaron takes part in the subsequent battles against the walker herd and the Saviors, and pays the price when he is among the lineup at Negan's mercy. Despite surviving several more beatings and horrors under the Saviors' control, Aaron nevertheless steps up to become one of Rick's right-hand men.

During the Savior War, Aaron adopts the orphaned baby Gracie, and later becomes one of the leaders of Alexandria and their general on the frontlines. He learns more advanced fighting skills from Jesus, but further losses incurred by the Whisperers cause Aaron to become a much harder, less forgiving man. He comes around when he forms a bond with “Gamma”/Mary, one of Alpha’s lieutenants, convincing her that civilization is possible. Aaron subsequently helps lead the communities in their battles against the Whisperers, but after the war, is traumatized when he and Gabriel are briefly at the mercy of a hostile survivor named Mays who mocks their friendship and ways.
----
* AbusiveParents: Mentions that his mom was a "very confused woman" who forced him eat foods he did not like in an attempt to [[CureYourGays make him more "manly"]].
* ActionDad: As of Season 8, he has adopted a Savior baby named Gracie and is still a regular on the frontlines during the Whisperer War.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart is blond but he's a brunette in the show.
* AdaptationExpansion: Zigzagged since he's heavily OutOfFocus in Season 6, but he does end up in the infamous Negan lineup in "Last Day On Earth", something his comic counterpart was lucky to avoid.
* AdrenalineMakeover: By Season 9, he's become practically unrecognizable from the idealistic young recruiter we met back in Season 5. He's ditched his clean-shaven appearance for a more rugged beard and even an ArtificialLimb (due to the severe injury mentioned below).
* AnArmAndALeg: After getting trapped under a log pile and pulled out in "The Bridge," he ends up needing his injured arm amputated by Enid.
* ArtificialLimbs: He has a metal arm created after losing his real one in the freak accident mentioned above. In Season 10, he gets a mace attachment to use as a weapon in fighting both walkers and human attackers alike.
* TheAtoner: After inadvertently being responsible for the attack on Alexandria, Aaron strives to make amends by helping Maggie find Glenn, not wanting anyone else to die if he can help it.
* AttackHello: In "Stradivarius", he shows off his improved fighting prowess by tackling an unsuspecting Jesus off of his horse.
* BadassBoast: Telling Rick that the only way he's going to stop him from being with Eric is by shooting him.
* BashBrothers: He's been a combat partner to Rosita, Daryl, Rick, Jesus, and Gabriel.
* BattleCouple: The standard plan is for Aaron and Eric to ride out in search for fellow survivors. Then if one gets in trouble the other rescues them. They also fight back-to-back against the walker horde in "No Way Out", during the raid on Oceanside, and in the attack on the Saviors' Insurance Office outpost in Season 8.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: He does this with Gamma (Mary).
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Isn't afraid to kill people if they pose a threat to him or his friends.
* BreakoutCharacter: Aaron quickly became a fan-favorite on the show, and after spending Season 6 OutOfFocus, he becomes a major character in Season 7, having a lot more to do including becoming one of Rick's right-hand men, and also being a part of the infamous Negan lineup. By Season 10 he’s one of the main leaders of the communities.
* BreakTheCutie: Despite being one of the only competent Alexandria survivors from the get-go, Aaron's still got one of the kindest hearts of the cast. However, he grows increasingly shaken by the brutality Alexandria begins to suffer from at the hands of the Wolves, the walker herd, the Saviors, and the Whisperers.
* TheConfidant: He is the first person to be aware of Maggie's pregnancy at a time when she is uncertain if Glenn is alive.
* CureYourGays: He tells Rick that his mother attempted to force-feed him with food he doesn't like to be more "manly".
* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets a heavy amount of focus in "Now". He also shares the spotlight with Gabriel in "One More", which is a BottleEpisode centered almost completely around their characters. [[spoiler: In "Out of the Ashes" a large amount of focus is dedicated to showcasing Aaron's PTSD.]]
* DeathGlare: He develops a severe one as time goes on, and looks positively murderous with it by Season 10.
* DecompositeCharacter: In Season 9 he takes Rick’s place as the one who loses his hand, and then takes over Dwight’s role as the vengeful general of Alexandria’s armed forces since Dwight left the show for its’ spin-off after Season 8. This includes having to reluctantly team up with Negan during the conflict with the Whisperers and leading the survivors on the frontlines during the war.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart never lost an arm.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He didn't want to taste Judith's baby food, which made Rick distrust him. It wasn't poisoned, he just didn't like it because it was one of the foods that his mom force-fed him.
* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: He says this almost word for word when he's gutting a Savior in "Not Tomorrow Yet".
* FishOutOfWater: Tells Daryl that he and Eric still struggle to fit in at Alexandria because of their relationship and experiences outside the walls.
* FriendToAllChildren: Mentions that Rick's group including Judith is an important reason for him extending an invitation, as he considers their care for her a strong consideration of character. He then readily offers her food. After the time-jump, he is still concerned for her safety and falls to his knees in relief when he discovers that she's okay after running off to save Magna's group. In season 10, Aaron puts the safety of his daughter, and the rest of the children first, and argues with Earl over an evacuation plan instead of fighting.
* GoodAllAlong: The group is highly suspicious of him when he is first introduced, but he soon proves to be one of the nicest and most good-hearted people on the show.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Aaron is one of the nicest people on the show, but that doesn't make him naive or stupid. He's fully prepared to kill potential threats if he has to.
* GoodParents: To Gracie, who absolutely adores him.
* HandicappedBadass: After losing his arm. He's even ''more'' badass now than he was before due to Jesus teaching him to fight.
* HeroesWantRedheads: His first boyfriend in the series is the redheaded Eric.
* HeroicBSOD: When he realizes that it's all his fault the Wolves found Alexandria, Aaron is beyond devastated.
* HonorBeforeReason: Despite the fact that Alexandria needs all the fighters it can get as the risk of an assault from the Saviors is imminent, Aaron invites himself to the mission to get an ailing Maggie to Hilltop because he claims he owes her.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Despite being a popular and prominent character, he does not appear in the series until late into Season 5.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Very downplayed as Aaron is already quite the badass by Season 10; however, in "Lines We Cross", he expresses a desire to move away from his usual NiceGuy persona after becoming fed up with the survivors' losing streak against the Whisperers. In "Ghosts", he plays up his new tough guy facade to intimidate [[ReformedButRejected Negan]], who quickly sees through it and calls him out for "pretending." Aaron ends up scaling it back a notch when he is nearly blinded by an infection from a walker and has to be saved by Negan.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Kills a few walkers with one of his precious license plates.
* TheLancer: Acts as one of Rick's right hand men in Season 7 with Rick's previous lieutenants all either missing, dead, or otherwise occupied. He also becomes Michonne's second-in-command/confidant when she takes over leadership of Alexandria in Season 9.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: His arm is mangled from having a heavy log dropped on him by Jed, and he's faced with the choice to either remove the arm or succumb to blood loss. He chooses life.
* MacheteMayhem: In Season 5, he carries a machete as his primary weapon for melee.
* MadeOfIron: Takes on a pretty serious beating from two muscle-bound Saviors and can still walk afterwards.
* MercyKill: Gives one to Buttons the Horse after it is partially devoured by walkers.
* TheMourningAfter: He refers to Eric as the love of his life, and several years after his death has had no other romantic partner and still grieves for him. Ross Marquand does not rule out the possibility that Aaron had a fling with Jesus at some point during the second TimeSkip of Season 9, however.
* MutilationInterrogation: [[spoiler:As punishment for not talking, Aaron allows a Walker to bite Keith's hand in Season 11. This forces Keith to have an amputation in order to survive.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Aaron discovers his backpack on one of the Wolves, with all the photos of Alexandria's layout inside. Realizing that it was all his fault that the Wolves located their safe zone, he suffers a HeroicBSOD.
* MyGreatestFailure: He blames himself for the Wolves attacking Alexandria.
* MythologyGag: Aaron enters the show in the exact costume and pose he used in his first comic appearance, similar to Abraham's group.
* NiceGuy: He's pretty kind to the group, even after Rick treats him roughly. He's grown a bit more weary and cynical as the series has progressed, but is still a decent man at his core.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: After losing his backpack on a scouting mission, it ends up in the hands of [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the Wolves]]. They take advantage of the photos of the safe zone's layout and attack and slaughter countless innocent civilians. Aaron soon finds his bag and discovers that the attack on Alexandria was unwittingly caused by him.
* NightmareSequence:[[spoiler: Aaron has a brutual nightmare in Season 11. He dreams that he is lost in the woods with his daughter, Gracie, and is suddenly surrounded by all his past enemies [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Walkers]], [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the Wolves]], [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the Saviors]], and [[AlwaysChaoticEvil the Whisperers]]. He is stabbed to death before a brief flash of [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Mays]] screams at him to wake up.]]
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: On the receiving end of a vicious one from the Saviors in "Hearts Still Beating".
* NotSoStoic: Aaron is remarkably calm through interrogation and threats. When he is surrounded by walkers and/or Eric is in danger this slips though. He's also just as shaken and terrified as the others when he's on Negan's chopping block.
* OddFriendship: With Daryl. Despite their wildly different personalities, they quickly become good friends as Aaron helps Daryl acclimate into Alexandria.
* OnlySaneMan: He is the only Alexandrian who has been outside the walls long enough to realize how incredibly sheltered and naive his people are.
* OutOfFocus: Aaron doesn't appear that often in Season 6, despite having been made a regular for the season. He gets exactly one episode in the spotlight, and is mostly in the background if he appears at all. He returns to prominence in Season 7.
* ParentalSubstitute: In Season 8, he adopts a girl named Gracie whose biological father is a Savior that Rick killed.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In Season 8.
* RedBaron: Alpha and Gamma (Mary) refer to him as "The Man With The Metal Arm," on multiple occasions.
* RevengeIsNotJustice: [[spoiler: Carol tells Aaron this after he tortures Keith for information and revenge on the Whisperers.]]
* SheepInSheepsClothing: Rick's group are initially very hostile to him, as they think his safe zone is like another [[EvilOverlord Woodbury]] or [[ImAHumanitarian Terminus]]. However, Aaron proves that he's not manipulating them and was GoodAllAlong.
* StepfordSmiler: Has shades of this in early Season 10 when he decides the best way to be proactive against the Whisperers is to return his roots and approach them as a friendly party, similar to how he first encountered Rick's group. Given Aaron's anger earlier in the season, however, and his desire to be "no more Mr. NiceGuy", it's clearly a facade this time around. Aaron is now a more experienced, world-weary man who has seen the depths of evil people can sink to and is aware that weaponizing his old persona can actually yield positive results against the enemy.
* StraightGay: He doesn't have any effeminate or stereotypical traits, unlike Eric.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In "Ghosts", he’s forced to team up with Negan when most of Alexandria’s fighters have been exhausted by the 48-hour siege of the dead. It goes without saying Aaron has nothing but contempt for Negan, to the point of not allowing him to pick up a crowbar to defend himself from walkers. He also knocks Negan on his ass when Negan refuses to tie himself up for Aaron's own safety while they head back to Alexandria.
* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: After Negan says that it was Aaron's fault Eric died, Aaron returns the sentiment by telling Negan ''he'' failed his wife and that she died hating him.
* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes even more badass when he proves himself in the battles of Alexandria and in the raid on the Saviors' compound in "Not Tomorrow Yet". Throughout the war, he's frequently on the front lines. He further ups his badass credentials when Jesus teaches him how to fight in Season 9.
* TookALevelInCynic: Losing Eric and Jesus (as well as the aftermath of the pike massacre) drains him of much of his optimism.
* TranquilFury: After witnessing the sudden and horrific death of Glenn, Aaron has a look of pure disgust and quiet rage on his face.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Losing his backpack on the Wolves' walker trap allows one of them to find Aaron's photos of Alexandria. The fallout of this causes many people in Alexandria to die when the Wolves attack, and later causes the wall to collapse, resulting in the deaths of several people such as Deanna and the rest of the Anderson family.
* WhatTheHellHero: He's mortified when Gabriel suddenly bashes Mays' head in after promising they would take him back to Alexandria for rehabilitation.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In "One More", he and Gabriel are taken hostage by a crazed man named Mays, who forces them to play Russian Roulette and gives them the option of either turning the gun on themselves or each other. Not once does Aaron ever consider shooting Gabriel, even when Mays brings up Gracie and how Aaron might never get to see her again.

!!''Eric Raleigh''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eric_raeleigh.png]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JordanWoodsRobinson
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-8)

Aaron's boyfriend and fellow recruiter for Alexandria. After getting injured during the recruiting of Rick's group, Aaron decides he no longer wants him on the front lines and asks Daryl to take his place as fellow recruiter. Eric, however, ends up growing gradually more distressed with the danger Aaron keeps finding himself in, especially after the group comes into conflict with the Saviors. He is killed during the opening salvo of the Savior War; when he is mortally wounded, Aaron returns to the battle to finish things up, only to return to find Eric had turned and wandered off in his absence. Aaron is unable to put him down as he joins a horde.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: His comic counterpart has dirty blond hair. He's a redhead in the show.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Suffers this fate in "Monsters", after bleeding out from a gunshot wound fired by one of the Saviors. What's worse, Aaron is unable to put him down afterwards.
* BattleCouple: See Aaron's section.
* BuryYourGays: He's killed off early in Season 8, leaving Aaron heartbroken.
* DemotedToExtra: He wasn't a very major character in Season 5, but he's just an extra in Season 6, with a grand total of only one line. He gets more screentime in Seasons 7 and 8.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: His comic counterpart dies via BoomHeadshot.
* FishOutOfWater: Aaron mentions that neither he nor Eric fit in well at Alexandria due to their relationship and them also being some of the only people to regularly venture outside the walls.
* HandicappedBadass: In "No Way Out", Eric joins Rick and everyone else in fighting back the walker horde while still suffering from a broken ankle. It doesn't slow him down one bit.
* KilledOffscreen: His actual passing occurs offscreen, though obviously from the gunshot wound sustained in the previous episode.
* MythologyGag: He wears his comic counterpart's scarf.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In a way. His last name, which was never revealed in the comics, was stated to be "Raleigh" by the actor.
* NiceGuy: Indulges his boyfriend's hobby of collecting license plates.
* OddFriendship: With Daryl, though not as much as Aaron.
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: He makes it clear that he hates that Aaron has become a regular soldier on the front lines and doesn't want him to get hurt, especially after he's beaten up by some Saviors.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: He only serves as a LoveInterest for Aaron and receives very little screen time and development of his own.
* StraightGay: Downplayed. He's more effeminate than Aaron, but otherwise lacks any "stereotypical gay traits".
* TookALevelInBadass: Despite being extremely hesitant about joining open combat against the Saviors, in late Season 7, he's rallied to help raid Oceanside and is an active participant in the war against the Saviors.

!!''Nicholas''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b1fd9e3364aab7b806a701c8216a5958.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"You left them. We both did. That's who we are."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Michael Traynor
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-6)

A guard and scavenger for Alexandria. After a disastrous supply run ends with Aiden dead, Noah dead through Nicholas' cowardly actions, and Tara critically wounded, Nicholas becomes embroiled in a conflict with Glenn, who attempts to convince him to stay inside the walls in order to never get anyone killed again. Furious at being threatened and his cowardice potentially being exposed, Nicholas attempts to kill Glenn but fails, although Glenn spares his life. Realizing that his own fears and cowardice have caused many deaths, Nicholas resolves to become a better man and defender of Alexandria under Glenn's leadership. Though he does prove his mettle in several skirmishes, when he and Glenn are cornered by the herd with seemingly no way out, Nicholas commits suicide - but not before thanking Glenn for giving him another chance. Though his body knocks Glenn into the horde, it actually narrowly saves his life as the walkers instead eat his corpse, shielding Glenn from a horrible fate in death.
----
* AccidentalHero: It turns out that his suicide actually ''saved Glenn's life''. After his body accidentally falls on Glenn, the walkers assaulting them eat his corpse first, allowing Glenn time to crawl to safety while the walkers were distracted.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Has brown hair in the comics.
* AdaptationalJerkass: His comic book counterpart could be an asshole at times but he was also a badass family man and a loyal ally. Here, he's a DirtyCoward who will abandon his friends at the first sign of trouble and pin it on whoever witnessed his cowardice. He starts to get better, though.
* AdaptationalWimp: If only because he's a DirtyCoward in this version.
* AdaptedOut: While the show does have a younger character named Mikey who appears briefly in Alexandria, there is no indication that he is Nicholas' son as in the comics. His comic counterpart's wife, Paula, is also completely absent.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Starts sobbing and pleading when Glenn has a gun to his head. Luckily for him, Glenn can't go through with it.
* ArchEnemy: Becomes one for Glenn after he gets Noah killed, but Glenn sparing Nicholas' life leads him to becoming very loyal to Glenn and determined to prove himself.
* TheAtoner: After his botched attempt to kill Glenn, Nicholas strives to redeem himself for his actions.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: He seems to have honestly deluded himself into believing that he is one of Alexandria's main protectors, judging by what he says during his confrontation with Glenn. Once Glenn nearly kills him, he finally admits that he's nowhere near the badass he thinks he is.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When he first appears in "Remember", he doesn't seem too bad. He is kind of a dick to Rick's group but mostly comes off as just being loyal to Aiden. In "Spend", he's even shown joking around with the others during a supply run. However, as soon as shit hits the fan in that same episode, he proves himself to be a DirtyCoward who will abandon others to save himself.
* BlatantLies: He tries to convince Deanna that he heroically attempted to save Noah and Aiden, only to be stopped by the "dangerous" Glenn. In truth, he abandoned the two of them as soon as he got the chance.
* BoomHeadshot: How he kills himself.
* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a DirtyCoward to TheAtoner after befriending Glenn.
* CombatPragmatist: Beats Glenn in a fight by shooting him from a distance, aiming his blows at the gunshot wound and then leaving him for walkers.
* DeathByAdaptation: His comic counterpart lasted far longer and was killed in a completely different way.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: "Thank You" heavily focuses on Nicholas' character and ultimately ends with him dying tragically.
* DecompositeCharacter: His most major comic book storyline (plotting a coup against Rick) is given to Carter. His death by succumbing to the walker infection thanks to an attack from a Savior’s knife is given to Tobin.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Glenn spares Nicholas when completely at his mercy, he becomes a loyal ally to him and seeks to improve himself.
* DespairEventHorizon: Passes it in "Thank You" when faced with an inescapable scenario.
* DevouredByTheHorde: Which ironically saves Glenn's life.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: His comic counterpart succumbs to an infection after being stabbed with a knife covered in walker guts. This version of Nicholas commits suicide by shooting himself in the head.
* DirtyCoward: On the run to find the power converters, his preferred action is to abandon the others at nearly any chance. Moreover, when he takes Glenn out into the woods to kill him he's full of bravado when he has the upper hand, but quickly turns into a sobbing, pathetic mess when Glenn attacks him. This breakdown seems to make him realize how wrong all his actions have been, and he begins stepping up to atone for his past cowardice. Sadly, he is never able to fully grow out of this trope, and ends up committing suicide when faced with a hopeless situation.
* DrivenToSuicide: He and Glenn are cornered atop a dumpster with hordes of walkers on both sides. Nicholas snaps and zones out for a moment before drawing his gun. Completely giving up, he shoots himself in the head, taking Glenn down with him.
* DyingAsYourself: In his final moments he reverts to the scared human being he was in Season 5, showing that despite his best efforts to change he is not strong enough to survive in the harsh zombie infested world.
* GreenEyedMonster: He hates Glenn for calling him out and proving to be a better man than him.
* HateSink: Probably the second biggest douchebag in Alexandria after [[DomesticAbuse Pete]], at least in Season 5. In Season 6, he goes through CharacterDevelopment and becomes a much better person.
* HeelFaceTurn: After Glenn spares him.
* HeelRealization: He tries to kill Glenn, but is defeated. Glenn not only shows him mercy, but saves his life and covers up Nicholas' actions. This seems to shame Nicholas into realizing what a prick he's been, spurring him on to be come TheAtoner.
* HeroicBSOD: In "Thank You", Nicholas begins having PTSD upon returning to the town where he abandoned his original group. It eventually drives him to suicide after passing the DespairEventHorizon.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Nicholas' top priority is keeping himself alive, and as poor Noah found out, he'll let his friends get killed while he runs. Once Glenn beats some humility into him, this goes away and he becomes a team player.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's not as much of a dick to Glenn, Tara and Noah as Aiden, but it's still there. Then come his actions in "Spend" that solidify him being ''much'' worse than Aiden. He gets over this in "First Time Again".
* JerkassHasAPoint: Although he is a HUGE asshole, he's ''not entirely'' wrong about telling Deanna that Rick's group doesn't fit in with the community. From what we've seen from [[SanitySlippage Rick]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Carol]], and [[BrokenBird Sasha]] he is right about seeing Rick's group as a threat to the community.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In Season 5, Nicholas is an unrepentant jerk and DirtyCoward of the worst kind. But after Glenn spares his life, he realizes just how horrible of a person he is and tries his best to change, showing that deep down he is a good man.
* KarmaHoudini: Played with. He gets two VERY well-deserved beatdowns from Glenn (the latter one being particularly satisfying) but Glenn ultimately ends up sparing him and taking him back to Alexandria even though Nicholas had tried to kill him. He does die in Season 6 but it's by his own hand, and he had become more sympathetic by that point.
* KickTheDog:
** When trapped in a life threatening situation with Glenn and Noah he willingly abandons the two to die to save his own skin and then tries to take the truck from Eugene so they can depart immediately. Noah suffers a CruelAndUnusualDeath because of this.
** In "Conquer," he tries to kill Glenn.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He's on the receiving end of this twice, both times from Glenn.
** Glenn beats the shit out of him for leaving them behind which helped lead to Noah's death.
** Happens again in "Conquer", when Glenn beats Nicholas to a pulp for trying to kill him, and puts a gun to his head. Nicholas was lucky to get out with his life.
* MercyKill: A belated one, but he finds the zombified version of one of his former group members that he previously abandoned to the walkers and puts him out of his misery.
* MyGreatestFailure: In "Thank You", he returns to the town where he lost his first group that he abandoned to the walkers. He suffers a major HeroicBSOD while walking around the area.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** While he's hardly a "hero" at first, him panicking and running caused Noah to get killed.
** In "Thank You", after he shoots himself, his body falling accidentally causes Glenn to fall with it into the attacking walker crowd. Ironically, this ends up saving Glenn, as Nicholas' body lands on top, which allows Glenn to crawl to safety under a dumpster.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Is on the receiving end of a ''brutal'' one from Glenn in "Conquer".
* NumberTwo: For Aiden on the supply run team. He starts to become one to Glenn until his death.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In Season 6, he begins taking steps to make up for what he did, only to die soon after, albeit by his own doing.
* TheReveal: "Try" reveals that he was the one who stole the gun that Rick had hidden outside Alexandria. In the next episode, he uses it to incapacitate Glenn.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: He likely didn't check if Aiden was dead or not when he was impaled by metal, and abandons Glenn and Noah to save his own hide (which results in Noah's death). Then he tries to strong-arm Eugene into leaving; luckily, Eugene realizes pretty quickly that something's up, and Glenn is able to pummel Nicholas' ass before he gets the chance to go anywhere.
* SmugSnake: He thinks he's one of the main protectors of Alexandria, but he is instead a DirtyCoward who will leave behind everyone to save his own ass. He also quickly flips over from cocky and smug to pathetically pleading for his life as soon as the tables turn out of his favor. He finally grows out of this after being nearly killed by Glenn.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Although there have been many cases throughout the series of cowardly characters who TookALevelInBadass, Nicholas' suicide proves that for some people it is just impossible to change.
* ThousandYardStare: He looks at nothing from a distance while suffering a HeroicBSOD.
* TookALevelInBadass: In Season 6, he's fully capable of killing zombies with the team. Doesn't do him much good in that he gives up and shoots himself when he and Glenn are surrounded.
* TookALevelInKindness: After Glenn spares his life, he begins to genuinely listen to him and stops running away from trouble.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks he's better than Glenn. He finds out the hard way that he's not in "Conquer" when he tries to kill Glenn.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite Glenn saving his life after he left him for dead and caused Noah's death, Nicholas blames him for screwing up the mission and tries to convince Deanna to kick his group out. In "Conquer", he tries to kill Glenn despite the latter having spared him and kept to himself he abandoned Aiden caused Noah's death. However, when Glenn spares him, he turns around and becomes loyal to Glenn. His last words acknowledge this, thanking Glenn for giving him a second chance before committing suicide via BoomHeadshot.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/CoreyHawkins
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 6-7, 10 [[note]]Hallucination (archive footage)[[/note]])

->''"He's taking them all on, we need to go get him. We have to, this is it."''

The leader of a scavenging team that has been a multi-week run, Heath and his team return to Alexandria the day after Pete's execution for the murder of Reg. Heath takes part in the walker mission, and is shocked by the horrors the group endures when the plan goes awry. Heath later musters up the courage to take on the walker herd, and later is partnered with Glenn for a raid on the Saviors. Shaken by having to take his first human lives, Heath departs for a lengthy run with Tara. Their supply run turns up little, and the two are separated from each other during a walker attack. Though Heath was last seen being surrounded by walkers, Tara later finds evidence that he may still be alive.
----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: He's introduced at a later point in the story than his comic counterpart.
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being advertised as a major new character for the season (and being known to comic fans as a major character) he only appears in ''four'' out of sixteen episodes in Season 6. This is partially justified as [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Corey Hawkins was injured and had to take time off during filming of Season 6A]], and was also cast in the ''24'' reboot.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has a dry sense of humor.
* DecompositeCharacter: His comic book relationship with Denise is given to Tara in the show.
* DemotedToExtra: He is ''much'' less prominent than his comic counterpart, and his relationship with Denise (which was his most important storyline in the comics) is given to Tara here. He is officially PutOnABus in Season 7.
* DreadlockWarrior: Like his comic counterpart.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: He doesn't die, but aside from a cameo in a hallucinogen-induced vision in "What We Become", he is never mentioned again following his disappearance in "Swear".
* GainingTheWillToKill: In "Not Tomorrow Yet" he and Glenn admit to each other that neither has ever killed a living person, and dread entering the Saviors' compound for fear that they may finally have to do so. Once arriving, they find themselves tasked with killing a couple of Saviors in their sleep. Glenn goes through with it, but Heath does not. However, Heath ends up being forced to kill anyway just a short while later when some more Saviors open fire on them.
* HeroicBSOD: He is shaken pretty badly when he has to kill several Saviors, and two weeks later is still deeply remorseful.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Highly mistrustful of Rick's group at first, but he is still a good person who doesn't want to see his friends get killed.
* TheLeader: Of his scavenging team that consists of himself, Scott, and Annie. In "No Way Out", he's shown to be quick and effective when decisions need to be made, rallying others to join Rick and his group in saving Alexandria from the walker horde.
* NoManLeftBehind: Heath initially doesn't want to see any of his friends get left behind, even after Scott, Annie, and David are all injured, but he abandons this mindset after Michonne gives him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Scott still ends up making it home, but Annie and David don't.
* PutOnABus: He and Tara head out on a long supply run halfway through Season 6B and don't return by the end of the season. Presumably, a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot: Tara had to be temporarily written out so that Alanna Masterson could take maternity leave, and selecting her companion might have been influenced by Corey Hawkins' injury during filming.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Ends up on the receiving end of an ''epic'' one from Michonne, with her pointing out that even though he is more battle-hardened then most of the Alexandrians he still is relatively sheltered and has not had to face true loss in the apocalypse.
* RememberTheNewGuy: In Season 6. Heath has always been living in Alexandria, but was on a scavenging mission when Rick's group arrived.
* TheScrounger: His main role in Alexandria seems to be to lead teams of scavengers, collecting supplies for the community.
* TheSixthRanger: For the Alexandria storyline, as he is introduced at a later point than the other characters.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Swear", he is separated from Tara and isn't seen again before Tara returns to Alexandria, though she believes he is alive. The tire tracks he left behind suggests he did escape but no explanation is given yet to why he hasn't returned to Alexandria. According to Angela Kang, Heath was traded by the Scavengers to the mysterious helicopter for supplies.
* WhatTheHellHero: Calls out Michonne when he overhears Rick telling her to leave people behind if they slow her down.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"We have a system."'']]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/JasonDouglas
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-8)

The head of Alexandria's construction crew. He steps down from this position after realizing that Abraham is a better leader, although he retains a position of seniority within the community as one of its more capable and skilled survivors. Following the battle of Alexandria, Tobin strikes up a closer relationship with Carol, and it ultimately ensues in a brief relationship before she goes into exile.

When the threat of the Saviors arrives, Tobin reluctantly steps up to defend his community from the hostile human threat. After Alexandria is forced to evacuate to Hilltop, Tobin meets his end during Simon’s assault on Hilltop, getting infected after being stabbed by a Savior’s knife dipped in walker entrails. After making amends with Carol for her ditching him, he later dies and turns, sparking a walker outbreak until she puts him down.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: He has more scenes fleshing out his character than in the comics, and even a few minor subplots where he forms a friendship with Rick and a relationship with Carol.
* AdaptationalBadass: He is more of an active fighter here than in the comics.
* AdaptationalCurves: He is taller and more muscular than his comic counterpart.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Had black hair in the comics.

* AgeLift: Is much older than his comic counterpart.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Reanimates after being stabbed with a knife dipped in walker guts and goes on to kill quite a few survivors before being put down by Carol.
* BatmanGrabsAGun: In Season 6 he’s unwilling to participate in the raid on the satellite outpost, not wanting to fight other humans if he can help it. However, the brutality Alexandria suffers during their subjugation and the threat Negan poises convinces Tobin to finally take up arms by the end of Season 7, first by taking part in the raid on Oceanside (which at least was just to take their weapons), and joining the Savior War as a full-time combatant.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of the largest and strongest members of Alexandria, and even led the town's assortment of [[TheBigGuy Big Guys]] through the construction crew before handing the position over to Abraham. After Abraham's death, he becomes one of the chief holders of this position for Alexandria alongside Rosita and Tara.
* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: After being on the frontlines for most of the war and surviving several injuries, he ultimately dies when he is stabbed by a Savior with a knife coated in walker entrails.
* TheCoup: Is present when Carter explains his plot to take out Rick, though his level of compliance in the plan had it gone through is unknown since he shows absolute loyalty to Rick in his other scenes.
* DearJohnLetter: Receives a break-up letter from Carol.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: In "Do Not Send Us Astray", he gets some closure regarding his relationship with Carol and the impact the war has had on him, and dies that very night of wounds sustained in battle.
* DemotedToExtra: He does nothing in Season 7A, and never even speaks. He has a few more lines in Season 7B and 8A and takes part in the action, before meeting his end in Season 8B.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: His comic counterpart is devoured by walkers when they break through Alexandria's gates. Here he's stabbed in the gut by a Savior via infected knife.
* GracefulLoser: When he proves that he's not a capable leader, he accepts that Abraham is better at the position than he is and vouches for him to become the new construction head.
* MauveShirt: Survives for quite some time before dying from wounds sustained in a skirmish at Hilltop in Season 8.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he realizes that Francine could have died a completely preventable death because of him.
* NiceGuy: He's friendly in welcoming Carol to Alexandria. And despite nearly causing Francine's death by ordering the crew to not help her, he's not a bad person. When Abraham proves far more adept at leading the crew than him, he humbly hands over the reins.
* NoManLeftBehind: Averted; he tries to leave Francine to the walkers to follow Alexandria's rules, though not out of any malice of his own.
* PapaWolf: He mentions in "Conquer" that he will happily support evicting Rick from Alexandria if it means protecting his family.
* PetTheDog: Despite Rick coming across as cruel to the community, Tobin begins helping him in his efforts to fortify the town and befriends him.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: Steps down as TheLeader of Alexandria's construction team upon seeing the fact that Abraham is better on the job.
* ShipTease: With Carol. He's very friendly when welcoming her to Alexandria in "Forget" and it escalates in "Not Tomorrow Yet" when they share a kiss and are lightly implied to have interacted several times before. They end up sleeping together, but soon afterward Carol leaves Alexandria.
* SmarterThanYouLook: At first, Tobin appears to be another cowardly, TooDumbToLive HeroicWannabe that heavily populated Alexandria. However, he seems to fully grasp that he isn't as strong as he seems and immediately begins taking advice from the stronger survivors and follows Rick's leadership without question. He even realizes that Carol is faking her innocence and becomes well-aware that she's more badass than she lets on.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart was killed and eaten while defending a breach in the wall during the massive walker attack. Here, he survives the attack and is instead a casualty of the latter “All Out War” arc.
* TookALevelInBadass: By Season 6, he has become much more brave and competent when it comes to dealing with walkers. In "No Way Out", he joins the main group's fight to take out the walker horde despite knowing he could die. In the mid-Season 7 finale, he has to be restrained by a Savior after he's one of the few willing to try to lash out after Olivia is killed, and later takes part in the raid on Oceanside despite previously being uncomfortable with the idea of participating in the attack on the satellite outpost. He also joins the firefight in the Season 7 finale and is on the frontlines throughout the war in Season 8.

A member of the construction crew whose life is saved by Abraham during his first day on the crew. She becomes a proficient combatant for Alexandria, but is their first casualty during the Savior War during the raid on Regina’s outpost.
----

* CharacterDeath: He dies offscreen in “Do Not Send Us Astray” when he realizes he has been poisoned by the Saviors’ biological warfare, and asks someone to put him down.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/EthanEmbry
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 6)

An Alexandrian citizen who is part of the construction crew who helped Reg design and build the town's walls, having been a contractor before the ZombieApocalypse. He is opposed to Rick's growing leadership within the community, but eventually comes to respect Rick, only to quickly die afterwards.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: In the comics, there was a Carter who lived at Alexandria prior to Rick's arrival and got killed due to Alexander Davidson's failed leadership.
* AdvertisedExtra: Carter was hyped up to be a major character in Season 6, but he dies in the ''first episode'' he's introduced in.
* CharacterDeath: He's bitten in the face and put down by Rick.
* CompositeCharacter: In addition to being named after a PosthumousCharacter from the comics, he is given comic book Nicholas' most major storyline (plotting a coup against Rick).
* TheCoup: Plots one against Rick and his group, but Rick quickly puts a stop to it before it can go anywhere.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Right when he gets a good deal of characterization and screentime, he gets bitten by a walker and has to be put down by Rick.
* FacialHorror: A walker bites off half of his face, forcing Rick to kill him when he won't stop screaming in agony.
* HeelFaceDoorslam: Just when he's about to reform and become a faithful ally to Rick, he gets killed.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He does have the right to question Rick's forceful leadership since Rick did seemingly hijack control over the safe zone from Deanna, not to mention that his beef with Rick is largely thanks to the fact he pointed a gun in a violent rage at numerous citizens during Season 5.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a whiny asshole who tries to forcibly remove Rick from power, but it's clear that he does care about the safety of the community and does eventually come to respect Rick.
* MauveShirt: Dies after having a major supporting role in his first episode.
* NonActionGuy: He's not the least bit capable of defending himself against walkers. Even when Rick tests his skills, Carter panics and complains that Rick was trying to kill him. His inability at combat eventually winds up killing him, when he gets killed by ''one zombie''.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Comes to respect Rick and makes amends with him after plotting to kill him, only to die literally a minute after the fact.
* RememberTheNewGuy: He doesn't appear in Season 5, but, according to Scott Gimple, he "has been there the whole time, just quite busy.”
* SacrificialLamb: The first casualty of Season 6.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His screaming after having half of his face bitten off by a walker starts to derail the plan to move the herd away from Alexandria until Rick puts him down.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: He's a PosthumousCharacter in the comics. It didn't take long for him to be one here too.
* TheStarscream: He questions Rick from the get-go, distrusting him after the whole holding the community at gunpoint debacle. He tries to rally support to assassinate Rick, but when he nearly kills Eugene after he overheard him, Rick quickly stops it right then and there.
* TooDumbToLive: He wanders ahead in a humongous forest by himself until a single walker jumps him from behind a tree. The trope is mentioned specifically by Rick as the reason he lets Carter live after thwarting his coup; he figures that Carter is too stupid and weak to survive much longer anyway, and he is correct.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's the first casualty of the season, dying before the end of the sixth season premiere.
* WhatTheHellHero: The townspeople are shocked that Carter tries to execute Eugene when he listens in on his rebellion plot.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Ann Mahoney
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 5-7)

A woman who monitors Alexandria's supply building and armory. Before the ZombieApocalypse she worked in a coffee shop. When the Saviors take over Alexandria, Negan forms an attraction to her and torments her for her weight until she is killed at random by Arat. Her senseless death more than anything convinces Rick that they must go to war against the Saviors.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Unlike her comic counterpart, she actually fights when walkers overrun Alexandria.
* AdaptationDyeJob: She is a redhead in the comic but is brunette in the show.
* AgeLift: From roughly her mid/late 20s in the comic to mid 30s here.
* AscendedExtra: She gets more screentime in Season 7.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Is tasked with keeping Judith safe while Rick and Aaron are out scavenging for supplies, but Negan shows up and bullies her, makes her sit with him, and is shot dead by Arat to send a message to Alexandria for all her troubles.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Negan seems to think so. He makes fun of her for being fat but then says he wouldn't mind having sex with her. And after she slaps him, he admits it just turns him on even more.
* BigEater: A lot of her conversations with pretty much everyone [[YouAreFat (especially Negan)]] revolve around food. She mentions how she had cured meat in her basement and hopes that somebody kills a boar soon so she could do so again. Negan keeps making cruel jokes about her weight and after she's dead, jokes that Rick doesn't have a big mouth to feed anymore.
* ButtMonkey: Isn't taken seriously by most of the Alexandrians, who walk right over her when they want to steal food from the pantry. Taken further in Season 7, where Negan repeatedly makes fun of her weight, threatens to kill her for a minor infraction, and randomly propositions her for sex when she breaks down crying after all of this.
* CharacterDeath: Gets killed by Arat to hammer it in how the Saviors still enjoy killing innocent people to strike terror in their slaves.
* TheCoup: Is shown listening to Carter's plan to take back the community from Rick, but it's likely she wouldn't have gone along with it as she does point out how bad of an idea it is.
* DeathByAdaptation: She dies long before her comic counterpart, who was decapitated by Alpha before the start of the Whisperer War, an event which doesn't happen in the show until near the end of Season 9.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: She gets more screentime in Season 7A before being killed in the midseason finale.
* DecompositeCharacter: She was a stylist in the comics. That role was given to Jessie.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Slaps Negan in the face when he comes onto her. This could have easily gotten her killed, but fortunately he just finds it amusing.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Her comic counterpart is decapitated and has her head put on a pike by Alpha. Here she suffers a PrettyLittleHeadshots from Arat.
* ExtremeDoormat: When the town forces their way into the storage room, she doesn't even try to stop them from stealing rations.
* FacialHorror: She was supposed to be killed via head shot, but the bullet hit her in the face.
* FriendToAllChildren: She's willing to deal with Negan's rudeness just to make sure that Judith stays safe. She also fosters Enid.
* HiddenDepths: She has the courage to ''slap Negan'' when he tries to talk her into having sex with him. This just turns him on even more.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Falls for Carol's housewife facade. Unlike Erin and Shelly, she lives long enough to realize her true nature.
* KillTheCutie: A sweet and innocent person who dies a tragic and meaningless death.
* MamaBear: She's very protective of Judith.
* MotorMouth: She's very talkative; Carol finds it annoying.
* NervesOfSteel: She refuses to back down against Negan, even slapping him when he steps out of line with comments about her weight. He seems to find a respect for her, remarking that she wouldn't be the one he killed if he made the choice.
* NiceGirl: She is friendly and sociable to everyone she meets.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Rick has her babysit Judith and she ends up getting a visit from Negan, who bullies her and bosses her around, and she's shot dead by Arat when Negan gets pissed off.
* NonActionGuy: She only handles the supplies of Alexandria, not protect it. Grows out of this in "No Way Out" when she actively fights against the walkers to protect Alexandria.
* PrettyLittleHeadshots: She gets shot in the cheek by the Savior Arat in "Hearts Still Beating."
* SilkHidingSteel: Kind, demure, and wouldn't hurt a fly, but she also is strong enough emotionally to not only stand up to Negan's treatment of her, but also refuse to leave Judith's side when given the chance by Tara. Call Olivia whatever you'd like, but you cannot call her a coward.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's a secondary character who rarely fights, instead opting for behind the scenes work. However, her senseless death, probably more than anything else that happens in the same period of time, finally wakes Rick up and riles him to fight against the Saviors.
* TooDumbToLive: Fortunately, a non-lethal example. When the Wolves invade the town, she hides in the storage closet instead of ''grabbing one of the weapons'' in the armory she's working in. Possibly justified, since she's a NonActionGuy (at least until "No Way Out").
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: She was gentle, motherly, and caring to everyone. On a show like this, that doesn't get you far.
* TookALevelInBadass: Surprisingly, she actually picks up a weapon and joins in on the fight against the walker herd in "No Way Out."
* UltimateJobSecurity: She is still Alexandria’s quartermaster despite the fact that, under her watch, items have been stolen repeatedly, she forgot to lock the door during the Wolf attack, and she did absolutely nothing to stop the pantry raid. This almost gets her killed by Negan in "Service," when several guns go missing yet again.
* VillainRespect: She gains some from Negan for slapping him for offering to have sex with her. He doesn’t retaliate in his usual bloody, violent way and laughs it off, claiming he’s even more attracted to her now.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Has little characterization before she's killed off.
* WeightWoe: She is somewhat overweight, like her comic counterpart. Negan cruelly jokes about this to Rick, as he mocks the idea of an overweight woman being in charge of the food supplies. When Negan mocks the idea of the town starving given her size, she breaks down crying, implying she is self-conscious about her weight or has endured similar taunts before.
* WhatTheHellHero: Her poor performance at rationing all the community's supplies lands her in hot water when Negan calls her out on not managing the weaponry better and nearly executes her for not providing him all the guns in her inventory.
* YouAreFat: Negan keeps making fat jokes at her expense, from implying she eats more than her fair share as the town quartermaster to laughing at her claim that the town, running on low supplies, is starving.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MerrittWever
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 6)

->''"I think I'm really trying to lower expectations here."''

A psychiatrist, Denise becomes the new medic of Alexandria after taking over the infirmary following Pete's execution. Denise struggles to find a foothold in her new position, but ultimately succeeds after being taken hostage by the alpha wolf Owen. After Alexandria is saved, Denise enters a relationship with Tara and strikes up a friendship with Daryl. When Tara leaves for a supply run and tells her she loves her, Denise is unsure how to respond until an ill-fated supply run in which she is killed by Dwight. She dies unable to have told Tara that she loves her, leaves Alexandria without a medic, and proves that the Saviors are far from defeated.
----

* AdaptationalSexuality: Revealed to be either a lesbian or bisexual when she kisses Tara in "Now", while her comic counterpart was only ever indicated to be interested in men (specifically Heath).
* AdaptationalWimp: Her comic counterpart was an experienced and knowledgeable medic, but this version is not very skilled (at first) and even fails to save her first patient. Fortunately, she gets better.
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Her twin brother, Dennis, died early in the outbreak, causing Denise to go into HeroicBSOD and survive more or less by accident. She characterises him as brave and angry, as opposed to her own anxious personality.
* AnnoyingArrows: Averted. She dies from a headshot with an arrow.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Denise finally gets to go out in the open on a scavenging mission in order to become a battle competent survivor just like her friends Tara, Daryl, and Rosita. Unfortunately, her first time out is also her last since she's shot in the head with an arrow.
* BoomHeadshot: Gets shot by a crossbow no less.
* BuryYourGays: She's killed not long after Tara tells her she loves her.
* CharacterDeath: Dwight kills her [[AccidentalMurder on accident]] by shooting an arrow through her skull towards the end of "Twice As Far".
* ClosestThingWeGot: She is actually a psychiatrist, but is forced into the role of medic after Pete dies as there is no one else in Alexandria with any sort of medical experience. Thankfully, Denise's medical school training gradually starts to come back and she becomes quite the effective surgeon in mid-Season 6.
* CompositeCharacter: She has some training but actively studies medicine so she be a better medic for the group, similar to Alice Warren, a Woodbury character from the comic who was AdaptedOut. She also receives comic Abraham's death in "Twice as Far."
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially when she's nervous or agitated, which is often.
* DeathByAdaptation: Her comic counterpart died towards the end of the "All Out War" arc, which was well past this point in the timeline. She ends up receiving Abraham's death instead in order to start the beginning of Rick's casualties in the Savior War.
* DeathByDisfigurement: Dies with an arrow {{impaled|WithExtremePrejudice}} to the back of her head through her right eye.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: She receives more focus in the second half of Season 6 and is dead by the end of "Twice As Far", her most prominent episode.

* DistressedDamsel: Gets taken hostage by the Alpha Wolf when he breaks out of his cell.
* EyeScream: Dwight shoots an arrow through her eye from the back of her head, killing her.
* FakeGuestStar: She gets the most screentime out of any of the new characters in Season 6, but is still listed as a recurring character. It makes sense considering she doesn't survive the season.
* HeroicWannabe: Denise finally tries to step up her combat skills by joining Daryl and Rosita out in the open. She almost improves her skills until she's abruptly killed.
* IdiotBall: Daryl and Rosita call her out on almost dying against a single walker just to find out what was inside of a cooler trapped in a locked car with it.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Denise desires to become a true survivor like Daryl and Rosita. Sadly, that dream never comes after her unfortunate demise.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Dwight shoots an arrow through her skull.
* KilledMidSentence: Dwight's arrow comes so suddenly that she still keeps talking for a little bit after the arrow goes through her skull.
* KillTheCutie: One of the nicest people on the show, she meets a tragic and senseless end in "Twice as Far" at the hands of Dwight.
* LoveEpiphany: In "Twice As Far," she eventually realizes her feelings for Tara and plans to finally tell her, [[CruelTwistEnding only to suffer a headshot from an arrow before the end of the episode]].
* MauveShirt: She gets a hefty amount of character development, but dies without even living past her first season.
* TheMedic: Her new role is to take over as the medic of Alexandria. However, she's highly inexperienced and fails to save Holly's life during her first emergency surgery, though she eventually grows more skilled. Her death is a great blow to Alexandria as it leaves them without a doctor.
* MoeGreeneSpecial: Fatally shot by an arrow that pierces through her right eye.
* MythologyGag: She suffers Abraham's comic death.
* NiceGirl: Treats everyone in her office with respect. She even sympathizes with Owen the Alpha Wolf and tries to help him.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her desire to go on a supply run with Daryl and Rosita results in her death, leaving Alexandria without a medic. This causes the domino effect of events that ends with the group being captured by the Saviors, and Glenn and Abraham dying.
* NervesOfSteel: Starts to develop these in "No Way Out", where she's shown standing up to the Alpha Wolf, ordering people around her ward, and performing emergency surgery like a [[TookALevelInBadass true, full-fledged surgeon]].
* NervousWreck: According to her, she quit being a surgeon and moved to psychiatry because of this (and this is why Pete didn't want her as his assistant). She is very afraid of failing and has a momentary breakdown when she has to perform an emergency surgery on Holly, but ends up outgrowing this in "No Way Out" when she saves Carl's life.
* NonActionGuy: Her skills as a surgeon improve greatly but she's still hopeless in a fight, and is barely able to kill her first walker.
* OddFriendship: The shy medic befriends the BadassPacifist Morgan and HotBlooded, BadassBiker Daryl.
* OfficialCouple: With Tara starting in "The Next World", but ending with her death in "Twice as Far".
* ThePowerOfLove: Despite her low self-esteem in becoming physician and surgeon, she manages to save Scott's life thanks to Tara's repeated encouragement. She thanks Tara for it by [[BigDamnKiss kissing]] her.

* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Introduced in "JSS", the second episode of Season 6.
* SecretKeeper: She starts secretly helping Morgan treat the Alpha Wolf imprisoned in Alexandria. This comes back to bite her when he takes advantage of her kind nature and captures her after breaking out.
* ShipTease: With Tara. They share a kiss together after comforting one another and have a RelationshipUpgrade after the TimeSkip in "The Next World."
* ShrinkingViolet: Not an overt example, but still present. She's very timid around other people and is incredibly insecure about herself. Tara tries to [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre help motivate her]].
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Gets KilledMidSentence during her heartwarming speech.
* ThemeTwinNaming: Dennis and Denise. She says her parents came up with it on a bender.
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: One of the nicest characters on the show, she becomes Alexandria's first casualty at the hands of the Saviors.
* TookALevelInBadass: She begins learning how to improve her medical skills, which end up saving Scott's life from a wound infection. When kidnapped by the Alpha Wolf, she stands up to him several times and even appears to be turning him around before Carol shoots him. And unlike earlier times, when Denise returns to the infirmary and sees an injured Carl being brought in, she immediately slips into doctor-mode and gives everyone orders to help prepare her ward for emergency surgery. She finally gains her first walker kill as well while joining Daryl and Rosita on a scavenging mission, but dies rather abruptly after this.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: After killing her first walker, she vomits onscreen.

->''"Just Survive Somehow."''

A teenage girl who joined Alexandria eight months before Rick's group arrived. Her boyfriend is Ron Anderson, though to his dismay, she begins to form a relationship with Carl. When the Wolves invade Alexandria, Enid leaves after helping Carl protect Judith, though she later encounters Glenn, who is able to talk her into returning to Alexandria. She forms a strong bond with Glenn and the pregnant Maggie, often looking out for them since they helped restore her faith in life.

After Glenn's death and the subjugation of the survivors at the hands of Negan and the Saviors, Enid moves to the Hilltop with Maggie and helps her assume control of the settlement and plot the rebellion against the Saviors.

A teenage boy living in Alexandria.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Blond in the comics, brunet in the show.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics, Mikey was introduced when he got into a fight with Carl, although they do eventually become friends. This version of Mikey is nice to Carl from the start and becomes friends with him.
* AgeLift: The same age as Carl in the comics, and on the show, which is to say he's been aged up to his mid-teens.
* DeathByAdaptation: He's possibly KilledOffscreen. He's is still alive and well in the comics.
* DemotedToExtra: His comic counterpart is one of the longest-surviving supporting characters who becomes one of Carl's close friends in Alexandria, while here he disappears after two episodes and is apparently KilledOffscreen without much characterization.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: Regardless when he's KilledOffscreen, Carl never seems to remember him.
* KilledOffscreen: He's never seen and seemingly forgotten after only appearing for two episodes. So, it's very likely that he's killed off-screen by the Wolves or Saviors.
* NiceGuy: Immediately offers to play video games with Carl upon first meeting him.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Mikey is possibly a nickname for "Michael", but there's a character named Michael in Alexandria, who is portrayed by different actor, so he's not the same character with Mikey.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart's father is Nicholas, but there is no indication of this in the show.

----
* AdaptationExpansion: There is an Alexandrian named David in the comics, but he is TheGhost and only gets mentioned briefly in one issue.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Glenn finds his zombified self exactly where David had perished. Somehow, the zombies didn't devour David entirely.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: As if being a ZombieInfectee wasn't bad enough, he ends up getting DevouredByTheHorde slowly while crushed up against a fence screaming in pain as his friends watch in horror. Made all the more worse when his friends ''don't mercy kill him''.

* KilledOffscreen: He was DevouredByTheHorde offscreen and by the time his group finds the walkers chowing down on him, he's already dead.
* NiceHat: He wears a gardening hat. The group stumbling upon it once they've reached the town lets them know that the walkers got ahold of him.

But everything else, from being the woman whom Abraham leaves Rosita for right down to her CharacterDeath, was given to Sasha.
* DemotedToExtra: Her comic counterpart is a major supporting character, but all of her storylines are given to Francine and Sasha in the show. This version of Holly only appears briefly in one episode before dying without even speaking.

An unnamed Alexandria resident who has participated in many battles throughout the Town's history, and is present several years later aiding the residents of the AHK Safe Zone as they deal with the Whisperers and other threats.
----
* ActionGirl: From the outset, she proves herself to be a capable fighter, starting from when she helps Abraham rescue Francine from walkers in "Spend," and continuing through her participation in nearly every major battle in the show since then.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Very'' briefly, and more like a ''moment'' in the limelight. In "Hunted", she gets a focusing shot that sees her happy to see Carol's group return to Alexandria with four of their horses.
* BadassInDistress: Gets captured by the Scavengers in "The First Day of The Rest Of Your Life," forcing other rescuers from the Hilltop and Kingdom to come to her aid.
* JackOfAllTrades: Among other feats, she is shown with construction proficiency (dismantling walls and building lookout towers in various settlements), taking on numerous zombies [[OneManArmy hand-to-hand]], knows how to wield and service a rifle, and regularly takes part in guard duty and scouting missions.
* NoNameGiven: Despite not being given an on-screen name, Resident 9 appears frequently through various episodes from Season 5 onwards. Even when it's established that she's established a friendship with Magna in Season 10, she still isn't identified.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Tries in vain to hold off numerous walkers on her own as the Hilltop gets razed during Season 10's "Walk With Us," only fleeing when she realizes the horde is too large.
* RecurringExtra: Despite being nothing but an extra, she has appeared in more episodes than any other unnamed character in the series, lasted longer than nearly every other supporting character outside the main group of survivors, has participated in nearly every major event from the time Rick's group arrived in Alexandria, and (as of Season 11) is the longest-living unnamed character in the series.
* TookALevelInBadass: After spending nearly two seasons as a non-combatant, she aids Rick's group during the initial assault on the Sanctuary at the beginning of Season 8, and proves to be capable with a weapon, gunning down several Saviors on her own. By the time Season 10 begins, she's also shown to have learned hand-to-hand and melee tactics from Ezekiel and Jerry, and joins the coalition protecting the AHK Safe Zones.
* TheVoiceless: Despite appearing in 37 episodes (as of the end of Season 10), she doesn't utter a word, despite taking part in numerous town meetings, fighting zombies in a group and on her own, and cultivating a friendship with at least one person (Magna). Even in the one episode where she is shown to be having a conversation with someone (the Season 6 finale), she still isn't heard.

[[folder: In General]]

* MacheteMayhem: Carries a machete as his primary weapon for melee.

* HandicappedBadass: After losing his arm. He's arguably even ''more'' badass now than he was before due to Jesus teaching him to fight.

* BashBrothers: He's been a combat partner to Rosita twice and they make quite the team.

* BreakTheCutie: Despite being one of the only competent Alexandria survivors from the get-go, Aaron's still got one of the kindest hearts of the cast. However, he grows increasingly shaken by the brutality Alexandria begins to suffer from at the hands of the Wolves, the walker herd, and the Saviors.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets a heavy amount of focus in "Now". He also shares the spotlight with Gabriel in "One More", which is a BottleEpisode centered almost completely around their characters.

* FriendToAllChildren: Mentions that Rick's group including Judith is an important reason for him extending an invitation, as he considers their care for her a strong consideration of character. He then readily offers her food.

* RedBaron: Alpha and Gamma (Mary) refer to him as "The Man With The Metal Arm" on multiple occasions.

* AdrenalineMakeover: By Season 9, he's become practically unrecognizable from the idealistic young recruiter we met back in Season 5. He's ditched his clean-shaven appearance for a more rugged BadassBeard and even an ArtificialLimb (due to the severe injury mentioned below).

* BadassBeard: Grows one during Season 7 as he gradually grows more cynical following the arrival of the Saviors.

* BadassBeard: Sports a beard and is combat-proficient from the get-go, unlike some of the other Alexandrians.

* CampGay: Downplayed. He's more effeminate than [[StraightGay Aaron]], but otherwise lacks any "stereotypical gay traits".

** In ''Thank You'', after he shoots himself, his body falling accidentally causes Glenn to fall with it into the attacking walker crowd. Ironically, this ends up saving Glenn, as Nicholas' body lands on top, which allows Glenn to crawl to safety under a dumpster.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks he's better than Glenn. He finds out the hard way that he's not in "Conquer" when he [[MoralEventHorizon tries to kill Glenn.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Averted. Although there have been many cases throughout the series of cowardly characters who TookALevelInBadass, Nicholas' suicide proves that for some people it is just impossible to change.

* HeroicBSOD: In ''Thank You'', Nicholas begins having PTSD upon returning to the town where he abandoned his original group. It eventually drives him to suicide after passing the DespairEventHorizon.
