History Characters / TheWalkingDeadComicTheWhisperers

** BaldWoman: Naturally.

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:'''[[BigNo NO!]] I HAVE NO NAME!''' No name...no...]]

* VillainDecay: The thing that makes them a threat to the very existence of Rick's allied communities is their massive herd of Walkers. After they use up most or all of their army of the dead in an attempt to finish the communities off, they're just a bunch of unhinged guys wearing freaky masks in the woods, armed mainly with knives, while the various communities have hundreds of people and at least some of those people are armed with guns. Although [[spoiler:their ''de facto'' leader Beta]] gives Jesus and Aaron a tough fight when he catches them by surprise, the rest of the group is wiped out easily. NeverBringAKnifeToAGunfight, after all.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: If she had just put up stakes to mark the Whisperer territory instead of [[spoiler: Decapitating several very well loved in the community characters, Including Ezekiel and Rosita and putting their heads on spikes, The communities would of gladly left them alone, instead it leads to the complete destruction of the Whisperers.]]

* FluffyTamer: They have managed to come closest to ''domesticating'' a fucking zombie horde. It's only partial, but them keeping an entire herd sated enough to be used as attack dogs while leaving their handlers alone enough to pretty much occupy the same space is [[HolyShitQuotient nothing short of admirable.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In a sharp contrast to her underlings who were willing to kill on sight she returned[[spoiler:Dante and Ken]] to the Hilltop in exchange for the release of her daughter. Afterwards she departs without any bloodshed and promises to leave Maggie's group alone if they stay out of her territory. [[spoiler:Becomes a lot less reasonable when she kills a dozen of Rick's men just to send a message.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: In issue 138 she finally reveals herself as the leader of the Whisperers as well as being Lydia's mother.

* NoNameGiven: Aside from Lydia, and Joshua they don't use their names because they think they're unnecessary.

A sixteen years old girl. She's taken prisoner by Jesus and imprisoned at Hilltop

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She's apparently going this way.]]

[[folder:Joushua's Mother]]

* WhatAnIdiot: If she had marked out whisperer territory with the stakes instead of [[spoiler: putting severed heads of community members on them]] the alliance would have never went to war with them and [[spoiler: wiped them all out.]]

* VillainDecay: [[spoiler:While he's still a dangerous foe, he was a lot more easily managed when Aaron and Jesus fought him than in his prior appearances, where he seemed to be a threat to all the communities and able to stand up to anyone in a fight.]]

* PragmaticVillainy: They attempt to kill any trespassers on their land, without asking any questions.

* UnknownRival: Until Issue 143, Rick and co have no idea they even exist. Though the residents of the Hilltop do know of their existence.

* LightningBruiser: Don't let his size fool you, he has the speed to match his strength. [[spoiler:Negan]] even commented that he shouldn't be able to move so fast during their fight and yells at him to slow down. [[spoiler: Justified, as it's revealed that he was formerly a professional athlete before the plague.]]

* LightningBruiser: Don't let his size fool you, he has the speed to match his strength. [[spoiler:Negan]] even commented that he shouldn't be able to move so fast during their fight and yells at him to slow down.

* TerseTalker: They talk in whispered shorthand, as they've realised that walkers don't notice this. The fact that the Whisperer with the shotgun still does this when interrogating [[spoiler: Dante]] implies this may have even become force of habit.

* BigBad: As the leader of the Whisperers, she serves as the first major antagonist following the TimeSkip. [[spoiler: This is ultimately subverted when Negan kills her just before the start of the Whisperer War.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Ends up getting killed by Negan before the end of the Whisperer arc.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: Making her a marked contrast of previous big bads [[EvilIsHammy The Governer and Negan.]] She does have rare moments when she shows emotion, [[spoiler: and in her last moments she completely breaks down in front of Negan and admits that she is full of guilt for her actions.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Issue 144 seemingly reveals a more vulnerable side to her, and she even allows Lydia to join Rick's group (although she goes about it in a cruel manner). Then it's revealed that [[spoiler: she beheaded numerous members of Rick's group (including a child and pregnant woman) to mark the boundaries between her territory and Rick's.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Negan beheads her after killing her, which is the same thing she did to many people from Rick's group.]]

* MacheteMayhem: She is seen returning to her camp in issue 143 with a bloody machete that she implied she used to kill someone from Rick's group with. [[spoiler: Turns out she used it to behead ''twelve people.'']]
* MamaBear: Played with. While she goes to the trouble of a hostage exchange to get Lydia back, [[spoiler: she allows her men to constantly rape her]].

* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: After slashing her throat, Negan cuts her head off.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In a sharp contrast to her underlings who were willing to kill on sight she returned[[spoiler:Dante and Ken]] to the Hilltop in exchange for the release of her daughter. Afterwards she departs without any bloodshed and promises to leave Maggie's group alone if they stay out of her territory. [[spoiler: Becomes a lot less reasonable when she kills a dozen of Rick's men just to send a message.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Just when she reveals a kinder side of her personality and admits to feeling guilt over her horrible actions, Negan kills her.]]

* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: How Negan suddenly kills her.]]

* AntiVillain: In issue 136 [[spoiler: it is revealed she's not as psycho as initially seen.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: She's apparently going this way.]]

* NiceGal: [[spoiler: Surprisingly, she's really not that bad at all once Carl and the others get to know her.]]
* NightmareFetishist: [[spoiler: In issue 137, she says that Carl's eye-hole is "sexy" and even licks it.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: As a result of being alone, the death of Joshua and [[spoiler: Carl being kind to her.]]

* ArchEnemy: He quickly develops an antagonistic relationship with Negan and asks for Alpha's permission to kill him multiple times. [[spoiler: It gets even worse after Alpha is ''killed'' by Negan.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Takes over this role after Negan kills Alpha.]]
* BodyguardCrush: He is clearly in love with Alpha. [[spoiler: Her death spurns him to wreak havoc on Rick's group.]]

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: After Alpha is murdered, Beta becomes the de-facto leader of the Whisperers, though he insists that he is not to be called "Alpha".]]

* TheLeader: [[spoiler: Though he insists that he is not the new Alpha, he still becomes the closest thing the Whisperers have to a leader.]]

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After Alpha is killed, Beta vows to kill every single one of Rick's people.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: She abuses her daughter both physically and emotionally and [[spoiler:decapitates Josh and Rosita (who was pregnant) with her machete.]]

* VillainsWantMercy: She begged Jesus to spare her life, even though her group was about to kill him and his group just for trespassing on their land.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Much in the way previous BigBad Negan was ''inspired'' by a young Creator/HenryRollins, Beta is drawn to resemble Creator/TylerMane (right down to his massive height).
