->''"I can't profess to understand God's plan, but when Christ promised a resurrection of the dead, I just thought he had something a little different in mind."''
Hershel is the owner of a farm that was mostly spared by the zombie apocalypse. He allowed the survivors to stay on the farm during their search for Sophia, but secretly kept a barn full of walkers, including his wife and step-son, believing they were simply sick. After the group is forced to leave the farm, his medical knowledge is vital to their survival and makes him one of their main assets and leaders.
When the group occupies the prison, Hershel tries to keep Rick on a moral path during the conflict with Woodbury and encounters with other survivors.

* AdaptationalBadass: He is more emotionally stable than his comic counterpart ever was. He's also more combat proficient as evidenced in the Season 2 finale. [[spoiler: Also, losing his leg later on didn't stop him from [[HandicappedBadass kicking]] Walkers' ass. He even conceals a gun on his leg stump.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: He is more doting and compassionate than his comic counterpart.
* AgeLift: Went from being a few years to a decade older than Rick in the comics to being old enough to be his father.
* TheAlcoholic: Got sober the day Maggie was born.
* AnArmAndALeg: Due to getting his leg bit [[spoiler:while searching for Maggie and Glenn in the prison]], Rick promptly makes a tourniquet [[spoiler:then uses a hatchet to cut off the leg to stop the spread of the infection.]]

** BadassGrandpa: Possibly older than Dale, and even more badass than him.
* ClosestThingWeGot: Despite being a veterinarian, Hershel mostly treats the various scrapes, bullet wounds, and arrow wounds that the survivors tend to accumulate.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: Because of Dale's [[DeathByAdaptation early death]], his characterization for the prison arc (specifically the leg amputation) was fused with Hershel.]]
* CoolOldGuy: "Triggerfinger" shows that Hershel is a fair shot, and he later prepares to amputate a man's leg while walkers are approaching on all sides.
* CrusadingWidower: Twice.
* DespairEventHorizon: When he sees first hand his walker neighbor shot and then put down by Shane. Then Shane forces his own group to massacre the walkers in the barn, including Hershel's zombified family and neighbors. He manages to recover quickly.

* LastStand: Tries for one in the second season finale but gets rescued at the last moment.
* TheMedic: As a veterinarian, he's the closest thing the group has to a doctor. Also serves as the CombatMedic in Season 3, [[spoiler:until he loses his leg]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Hershel saving Rick's son and letting the survivors stay on his farm ends up being something he later regrets. His oldest daughter gets into a relationship with Glenn, much to his disappointment. Rick and the survivors refuse to leave the farm and guilt trip him about it. And he watches in disbelief as his family and friends (whom are walkers) in the barn are slaughtered by Shane and the survivors after they find out about it.
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Hershel reveals to Lori that he's a veterinarian, not a practicing surgeon. This does not comfort Lori at all considering that he's about to attempt a complicated surgical procedure on a critically injured Carl.
* OffTheWagon: Following the barn massacre of the walkers. Luckily, he gets better quickly.
* OpenHeartDentistry: After Carl is shot, Hershel has to operate to remove the bullet fragments, but he had only done the procedure on animals before, since he is a veterinarian.
* OverprotectiveDad: Both to his blood relatives and his step-kids.
* ThePatriarch: Both of his family and somewhat for the group.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He initially only refers to Glenn as the "Asian boy", although he never treats him poorly. He later tells Glenn the country was built on immigrants, however. Eventually averted, as he gives Glenn his father's watch after realizing that Glenn and Maggie are attracted to one another, saying, "No man's good enough for your little girl until one is."
* SelectiveObliviousness: Towards the fact that walkers are no longer people. Shane shooting one without it dying convinces him he was wrong.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Hershel didn't survive the prison attack in the comics.
* TeamDad: Takes the role over from Dale after he dies. It helps that he's actually the dad to two members of the group. By Season 3 he advises on how to care for Judith, advises the rest of the groups on relationships, is Rick's main source of advice, and is the one who tries hardest to help Rick with his loosening grip on sanity.
* TechnicalPacifist: He knows how to use a gun, but just doesn't like to.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: One of the few group members to keep any faith in God after the apocalypse started.
* ZombieAdvocate: He considers them merely sick people who could one day be cured until Shane finally demonstrates otherwise by shooting one through various vital organs to no effect. After this, he has no trouble helping to kill walkers.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"We just can't stand around here with our asses hanging out."'']]
->'''Portrayed by''': Lauren Cohan
Maggie is Hershel's oldest daughter, and the most welcoming member of the farm to the group. She quickly established a relationship with Glenn and became one of the groups defenders. She accepted Glenn’s proposal near the end of Season 3.
----
* ActionGirl: [[CharacterDevelopment Developed]] [[TookALevelInBadass into becoming one]].
** In Season 2, after making her explosive entrance [[BigDamnHeroes stunning a walker]] [[BatterUp with a baseball bat]] [[HorsebackHeroism from horseback]], Maggie did nothing but remain on the farm and freak out the one time she gets attacked by a walker on a scavenging trip with Glenn. Taken in account before she met Rick and company, she lived and worked on a farm, was a FarmersDaughter, and had little to no real experience in killing Walkers (especially ones that would become faster and aggressive). It would make sense why Maggie wasn't a Walker killer like the rest of the group, who had experience and had worked in team formation.
** As of Season 3, however, she begun to get better; showing herself able to hold her own along with Rick and the men. By the time the season ends, she's the most skilled gun user of all the women.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While her comicbook counterpart isn't unattractive, she's notably [[StatuesqueStunner taller]] and [[MaleGaze well-endowed]] in this adaptation.
* AdaptationalBadass: Probably the straightest example.
** Compared to her initially fragile comicbook counterpart, she's more assertive and emotionally strong from the get-go.
** She's also a credible ActionGirl here. In fact, she is the most competent female member of the group in Season 3 until Michonne joins them. [[note]]But as Michonne is literally a bad shot, Maggie is still the group's best ActionGirl in terms of firearms[[/note]]
* AgeLift: From around 17 in the comic to 22 in the show.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She has dark red hair, tall and is usually composed.
* {{Badass}}: Smacking a walker in the head with a baseball bat while charging it mounted on a horse is the most inventive attack on a walker we've seen so far.
* BatterUp: Though Season 3 sees her switch to MacheteMayhem alongside Glenn.
* BattleCouple: With Glenn.
* CallingTheOldManOut: When Hershel wants to kick Rick's group off of the farm.
* DawsonCasting: Maggie is 22-23, while actress Lauren Cohan is 30.
* DistressedDamsel: Kidnapped [[spoiler:by Merle]] alongside Glenn, but gets rescued.
* FanservicePack: Helps that she's played by former model Lauren Cohan.
* FarmersDaughter: {{Lampshaded}} by Glenn.
* FakeAmerican: Sort of. Lauren Cohan was born in the United States, but lived in the UK for some time and naturally has a British accent.
* FieryRedhead: She's never afraid to voice her opinion or back down in an argument.
* HorsebackHeroism: When she saved Andrea at the beginning of Season 2.
* JackOfAllStats: After becoming a well-rounded ActionGirl in Season 3. She's good with firearms, but not as great as Rick, Daryl, Hershel or Carl. She's effective in melee combat, but not as competent as Rick, T-Dog, Glenn or Michonne.
* MsFanservice: She takes off her shirt and bra on more than one occasion, although the [[spoiler:ShamefulStrip by the Governor in Season 3 is most definitely [[FanDisservice not fanservice]].]]
* OfficialCouple: With Glenn.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Beginning in Season 3.
* PromotionToParent: Helps take care of [[spoiler:Lori's]] baby after her death in Season 3.
* ReligiousBruiser: Not as much as her dad, but she's a bonafide devoted Christian and ass kicker.
* ShamefulStrip: Forced to do this in season 3 [[spoiler:by the Governor.]]
* StatuesqueStunner: Stands 5'8 and is good looking.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: In "Cherokee Rose".
* WomanInBlack: Wears mostly black outfits in Season 3.

->'''Portrayed by''': Emily Kinney
Beth is Hershel's youngest daughter, and the girlfriend of Jimmy. She develops a friendship with Carl and helps keep the groups spirits up through her singing.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: "18 Miles Out".
* AngstComa: Following the barn walkers being shot and being attacked by her own undead mom. She snaps out of it, but starts thinking about suicide.
* BrokenBird: In Season 2, she outgrows it in Season 3
* BreakTheCutie: The loss of her mom and brother plus the barn massacre traumatized her pretty heavily. Her emotional state after Jimmy's death isn't really shown due to the time skip between season 2 and 3, but she seems to have recovered pretty well.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* TheCastShowoff: Because Emily Kinney is a singer, Beth gets a couple big singing scenes in Season 3, performing the traditional ballad "The Parting Glass" (along with Maggie) in "Seed" and TomWaits' "Hold On" in "I Ain't a Judas".
* TheChick: Compared to all the women in the group (and cast), Beth fills every aspect of the trope in spades.
* DawsonCasting: Beth is 16-17. Emily Kinney is 27.
* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses it following the barn massacre of the walkers. She eventually recovers.
* DrivenToSuicide: Halfway through Season 2, she comes to believe there is no hope left in the world, and tries to convince Maggie that they should kill themselves together. When she tries, she only makes a shallow cut on one wrist and can't go through with it. Ultimately it's {{Interrupted|Suicide}}.
* FanservicePack: Thanks to her wardrobe
* FarmersDaughter: Not so obvious as with Maggie.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: By far the most innocent and sweetest character on the show.
* TheHeart: On her way of becoming this.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out to have quite a pleasant singing voice.
* MauveShirt: Some were fairly surprised she survived to see Season 3, considering how little she contributed up until that point. Fans were even more surprised when she was made a main cast member for Season 4.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Until ''Arrow on the Doorpost'' where she switched on wearing a white blouse. She dons a pink jacket at the season 3 finale, though.
* PromotedToParent: She's the main caregiver [[spoiler:for Judith.]]
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Promoted to series regular for Season 4.
* TechnicalPacifist: If firing a pistol just to stop three of her teammates from arguing are any indication.
* TookALevelInBadass: Pretty much the everyone in the group did (to varying degrees) during the time skip between Seasons 2 and 3, Beth included. She doesn't take part in much on-screen action and is presumably still pretty low tier in her group, but the sole fact that she even ''can'' fight is a huge step up in and of itself.
** During the Season 3 premier, she's briefly seen standing watch with a gun. Later that episode, we see her stabbing walker-heads through a chain link fence and then joining in with the rest of the group as they open fire on the horde.
** After a fight breaks out between Maggie, Glenn and Merle, she promptly storms into the room and fires a pistol into the air to stop them.

->''"I can't profess to understand God's plan, but when Christ promised a resurrection of the dead, I just thought he had something a little different in mind."''
Hershel is the owner of a farm that was mostly spared by the zombie apocalypse. He allowed the survivors to stay on the farm during their search for Sophia, but secretly kept a barn full of walkers, including his wife and step-son, believing they were simply sick. After the group is forced to leave the farm, his medical knowledge is vital to their survival and makes him one of their main assets and leaders.

----
* AgeLift: From the comic version, going from being in her mid-20's to her mid-40's.
* BitCharacter: No pun intended.
* DeathByAdaptation: In the comics, she died when the Governor attacked the prison.
* DemotedToExtra: None of the characterization given to her in the comics made it into the show.
* EatenAlive: In the second season finale as the group flees the farm, a walker comes out of nowhere to grab her and proceeds to munch down as a few other walkers join him.
* MauveShirt: Gets very little screen time or characterization before dying.
* WidowWoman: After Otis died.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Hershel! It's happened again."'']]
->'''Portrayed by''': James Allen [=McCune=]
A young farmhand on Hershel's farm, and the boyfriend of Beth. He was eaten by walkers when Hershel's farm was attacked.
----
* BitCharacter: He's such a minor character that most reviewers didn't even bother to learn his name.
* CanonForeigner: Never appeared in the comics.
* EatenAlive: While driving the RV, walkers manage to burst in while it's parked during his rescue of Rick and Carl and eat Jimmy before he can escape.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: To Beth, though this might be partially excusable due to the following episode taking place months later.
* HeroicFireRescue: During the second season finale, Jimmy takes the RV and rescues Rick and Carl from the burning barn as the walkers attack. Unfortunately, he gets eaten when walkers break into the RV.
* GangstaStyle: He holds his gun like this during training. After T-Dog tells him not to, he is much more accurate.
* TheGenericGuy: He has pretty much zero discernible character traits.
* RedShirt: So much so that the cow Dale finds mutilated in the field was originally meant to be Jimmy's body. Jimmy is such a bit part that his death was replaced with a cow and it made very little difference.
