Line #99 Characters/TheWalkingDeadComicAlexandriaSafeZone


1	!!Characters from the Alexandria Safe-Zone in the comic series ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'':
2
3	A community of survivors built around a emergency government facility on the outskirts of Washington D.C. with a isolated power grid that was to be used in case of a major disaster. Founded by Alexander Davidson, a security liaison at the White House, and his friend Congressman Douglas Monroe, the Safe-Zone survivors quickly put up a wall around the area using materials from a nearby construction site, with the wall being expanded periodically as the community grew larger. Leadership of the community was given to Rick Grimes by Douglas a few weeks after he arrived, and under his leadership, Alexandria has become part of a network of communities seeking to rebuild civilization.

13
14	Douglas was a Democratic Ohio U.S. Congressman before the ZombieApocalypse. He is married to Regina and the father of Spencer. He founded the Alexandria Safe-Zone with his friend Alexander Davidson, but forced him to leave after learning he was sexually exploiting female survivors. Douglas viewed Rick's group as the town's greatest chance of survival due to their experience surviving in the outside world.
15	----
16	* ActionSurvivor: He survived for several months out in the open with his friends and family before the Safe-Zone was established, and killed two hostile human survivors during that time.
17	* BerserkButton: '''''Do not''''' mention Davidson. This will cause Douglas to fly into a rage.
18	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He had the patience of a saint when dealing with Rick's mistrust (he realized living outside this long made them a bit on edge) but after Rick points a gun at him and rave like a mad man that they have no chance to survive without him he calmly explains to Rick who Davidson was, what Monroe had to do to his best friend as punishment and makes it clear he will kill Rick if he points a gun at him again.
19	* BigDamnHeroes: ''Tries'' to pull this off when Rick and Carl are surrounded in ''No Way Out'' [[spoiler: but his attempts to help only make things worse]].
20	* BigGood: Of the Safe-Zone, [[spoiler: until he gives up his role as leader to Rick and eventually dies]].
21	* CelebritySurvivor: He was a congressman before the outbreak.
22	* DirtyOldMan: It's noted that he assigns all the pretty girls jobs where he'll see them every day.
23	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: After zombies breach the Safe-Zone walls, he almost shoots himself in the head, but can't bring himself to do it. He then goes outside his house to be eaten by the zombies. [[EatenAlive That attempt succeeds after he tries to help Rick and Carl]].]]
24	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Exiling his friend Davidson from the Safe-Zone after learning how he was exploiting the women in the Safe-Zone.
25	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Douglas, we know you were only trying to help, but you only succeeded in [[spoiler:bringing more zombies into the area, shooting Carl in the head and getting eaten.]]
26	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He supports Rick on most decisions, and doesn't even kick him out when Rick points a gun in his face.
27	* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: After Regina is murdered, and even more severely once the herd attacks the Safe-Zone.]]
28	* SexlessMarriage: His marriage with Regina is described as being purely political, and he uses it as an excuse to cheat on her.
29	* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: After wallowing in suicidal depression for most of ''No Way Out'', he decides not to kill himself and walks outside to help Rick and Carl...and then he's immediately devoured. His wild shooting as he dies also brings more walkers into the area and a stray shot hits Carl in the eye]].
30	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: His attempts to help during the walker attack on the Safe Zone lead to Carl getting shot in the eye (and himself eaten), which becomes the main conflict of the next volume]].
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:Regina]]
34	!!Regina Monroe
35	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 70
36
37	Regina is Douglas' wife and Spencer's mother. She is initially hostile to the Rick's group when they arrive. [[spoiler:She is later murdered by Pete Anderson.]]
38	----
39	* BitchAlert: Her first scene is marching straight past Rick and his group without acknowledging them, and then demanding that Douglas tell her everything about them while insulting their appearance and dismissing their need for them. Subverted as she is rather friendly afterward and even vouch for letting Michonne keep her sword. Turns out her bitchiness had more to do with having a large number of people with a lot of guns joining them on short notice.
40	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's abrasive and mistrustful but does mean well.
41	* JerkassHasAPoint: Given how Rick acted at first, [[spoiler: he robbed the ''armory'' and threaten Monroe with a gun]] her initial mistrust is warranted.
42	* MauveShirt: [[spoiler: Gets a handful of appearances and some personality before dying]].
43	* SexlessMarriage: Her relationship with Douglas is purely political.
44	* SlashedThroat: [[spoiler: How Pete kills her]].
45	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Walking up to an obviously disturbed man holding a knife and asking what the hell is wrong with him is not a very smart idea.]]

49	!!Spencer Monroe
50	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spencer_monroe_twdc_1015.png]]
51	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 72
52
53	Spencer is Douglas and Regina's son. He and Andrea held a mutural interest in each other after she arrived at the Safe-Zone, but she broke it off with him after he advocated [[spoiler:abandoning the others in the Safe-Zone when walkers overran it]]. He often acts as a gatekeeper for the community. [[spoiler:Then he tried to make a deal with Negan to kill Rick and put him in charge, for which Negan murders him in disgust.]]
54	----
55	* AssholeVictim:[[spoiler: His death at the hands of Negan was horrible, but very well deserved considering how much of a treacherous prick he was]].
56	* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first he seems like an overall pretty decent guy but then he shows his true colors as a selfish coward.
57	* DirtyCoward: He suggests to Andrea that the two of them [[spoiler: abandon the Safe Zone when it is attacked by walkers]]. Later on, [[spoiler: he tries to get Negan to do his dirty work and kill Rick for him. Negan does not approve and murders him in response]].
58	* EasilyForgiven: For being part of Nicholas' conspiracy, but not by Andrea for wanting to [[spoiler:abandon the Safe-Zone during the zombie attack.]] They later make up after he tells her he is happy for her after she starts a relationship with [[spoiler:Rick]].
59	* LikeFatherLikeSon: Like Douglas, Spencer can come off pretty creepy and overly aggressive when talking with women.
60	* GuttedLikeAFish: [[spoiler: By Negan.]]
61	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He seems to have become somewhat of a better person in Volume 17, even saying that he is happy for Andrea and Rick rather than try and hit on her again. However, [[spoiler: his last living action is to try and convince Negan to kill Rick because he is too much of a coward to do it himself]].
62	* MistakenForGay: Several of the women in the Safe-Zone thought he was gay, and were surprised by his interest in Andrea.
63	* NonActionGuy: Although he has taken out several walkers, he is very averse to actually going out and fighting them, prefering to remain inside the Safe-Zone's walls.
64	* StalkerWithACrush: To Andrea. The attraction was mutual at first, but after he advocated [[spoiler:leaving the rest of the Safe-Zone to die when zombies breached it]] she has wanted nothing to do with him. Spencer kept trying to talk to her to convince her otherwise, even waiting outside of her house for hours one time, although he eventually backs off.
65	* TheResenter: Towards Rick.
66	** TheStarscream: [[spoiler: He even tries to convince Negan to kill Rick so he can lead Alexandria in his place. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Negan does not approve.]]]]
67	* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler:The rapid loss of his parents.]]
68	* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: By Negan]]

71	!!!Anderson Family
72
73	[[folder:Pete]]
74	!!Pete Anderson
75	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 72
76
77	Pete is one of the three doctors in the Safe-Zone. After Rick discovers he is abusing his wife Jessie and son Ron, he attacks him in his own home. This leads to him getting kicked out of his house, and the start of some SanitySlippage. [[spoiler:He tries to kill Rick in revenge, but ends up murdering Regina instead, causing Douglas to order Rick to execute him.]]
78	----
79	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: He was abusive to Jessie and Ron and killed Regina, so nobody feels too bad when he's executed by Rick]].
80	* BerserkButton: He mentions to Rick during their first meeting to call him just Pete, never Peter. [[spoiler:When Regina calls him Peter he snaps and slashes her throat.]]
81	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems like a fun-loving and friendly family man when first introduced, but once Rick learns about his abusive tendencies he shows his true colors.
82	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: By Rick]].
83	* BunnyEarsLawyer: A dark version; Douglas knows about his abusive tendencies but puts up with it because he's one of the community's only doctors.
84	* DomesticAbuse: He beats his wife Jessie.
85	* DoNotCallMePaul: Insists on being called Pete by everyone instead of his (likely) full name Peter. [[spoiler:Regina calling him Peter instead of just Pete is one of the main contributing factors of her death.]]
86	* DrJerk: Douglas knows about his horrendous behavior but is forced to put up with it since he is one of the only doctors in the community.
87	* SanitySlippage: "This is not my house... This is not my house... and I will not live here. NOT MY HOUSE! Not my house... Not my... "
88	* WouldHitAGirl: Abuses his wife and even goes so far as to [[spoiler:murder Regina in cold blood when she calls him Peter.]]
89	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He has hit his own son and given him a black eye. One of the main reasons Rick attacks him is because he is worried that if left unchecked Pete would end up killing his own family one day.]]
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Jessie]]
93	!!Jessie Anderson
94	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 72
95
96	Jessie is a resident of the Safe-Zone. She lives with her abusive husband Pete and son Ron. She grows close to Rick as he helps her deal with her husband.
97	----
98	* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Jessie Was A Zombie]]: [[spoiler: After being eaten her zombiefied form is found and put down by Abraham]].
99	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: Her ultimate fate while trying to save Ron]].
100	* FacialHorror: [[spoiler:Her zombiefied form has most of her cheeks gnawed off.]]
101	* LifeOrLimbDecision: A nasty variant; [[spoiler:Rick makes the decision for her, and it's not to save ''her'' but to save ''Carl'' since she won't let go of his hand.]]
102	* MamaBear: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:She tries to save her son well past the point of any hope of survival and nearly gets Rick and Carl killed as well. All she earns for her trouble is a severed arm and a messy death at the hands of the incoming undead horde.]]
103	* MercyKill: [[spoiler: Abraham gives her zombiefied form a BoomHeadshot.]]
104	* NiceGirl: Jessie is very friendly and optimistic, even though she has an abusive husband to put up with.
105	* RavenHairIvorySkin: What she looks like.
106	* RomanticFalseLead: [[spoiler: She's set up as Rick's new love interest but dies just as their relationship is beginning to blossom]].
107	* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: She exists pretty much to give Rick something to angst about after her death. Even then, Rick isn't affected by her death nearly as much as he was by Lori's]].
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Ron]]
111	!!Ron Anderson
112	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 70
113
114	Ron is Pete and Jessie's son.
115	----
116	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: His fate]].
117	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler: While he's hardly the first child to die in the comic, he's certainly the first one to get killed by zombies on-panel, screaming for his mother the whole time.]]
118	* NiceGuy: He's an innocent child and never displays any particularly negative traits.
119	* ShadowArchetype: He's basically what Carl would have been if he had never been given combat training or exposed to the horrors of the outside world.
120	* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler: A normal, innocent young boy who dies brutally]].
121	* UrineTrouble: [[spoiler:Gets him killed.]]

127	!!Nicholas
128	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nicholas_twdc_6910.jpg]]
129	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 71
130
131	Nicholas is a citizen of the Safe-Zone who lives with his wife Paula and son Mikey. He attempted to lead a conspiracy against Rick and his people, believing him to be a dictator trying to kill the original inhabitants of the Safe-Zone. When Rick spared his life, Nicholas realized he was wrong, and joins Rick's inner circle of advisors.
132	----
133	* BatterUp: Uses this fighting tactic on occasion.
134	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He's one of the people who show up to help Rick and Michonne clear out the inside of Alexandria.]]
135	* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: Dies from the zombie infection after being wounded by one of the Savior's infected weapons.]]
136	* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Is fatally wounded while helping an injured Rick, who he hated and had tried to murder several volumes earlier]].
137	* DefeatMeansFriendship: After his conspiracy is stopped, he becomes one of Rick's advisors.
138	* EasilyForgiven: He suffers no repercussions after beating up Glenn and almost shooting him while trying to rally the inhabitants of the Safe-Zone to kick Rick's group out. This leads to him becoming extremely loyal to Rick, although Andrea questions Rick on how wise this was.
139	* EpicFail: His coup gets 2 people on his side, he's found out by Glenn before he can do much, and is then talked down by Rick when he has him surrounded. To rub salt in the wound he's treated like a nuisance by Rick.
140	* FaceHeelTurn: After the ''No Way Out'' arc, Nicholas starts becoming paranoid that Rick is trying to kill all the original members of the Safe-Zone and leads a rebellion against him. However...
141	** HeelFaceTurn: Rick ends up sparing Nicholas when he could have easily killed him, leading to Nicholas realizing how wrong he was. He quickly tries to make amends and becomes one of Rick's most loyal men.
142	* HappilyMarried: From what little we see of the relationship with his wife Paula, they have a very solid and loving marriage.
143	* HotBlooded: Describes himself as this when apologizing to Rick.
144	* InTheHood: After winter arrives, he constantly wears a hoodie with the hood up, although one would think that would restrict his peripheral vision, which is pretty important in a ZombieApocalypse.
145	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be a hot-headed asshole, but is also a loving family man who will utimately do the right thing when it comes down to it.
146	* OnlyAFleshWound: {{Averted}}: he is shot in his right arm by a Savior in Issue 114 and begins bleeding heavily. Dr. Cloyd tends to his wound, but his arm is now in a sling and he cannot participate in the war against the Saviors. He recovers in time to participate in the battle at the Hilltop.
147	* PapaWolf: He will do anything to protect his family. Part of the reason why he started the conspiracy was out of fear for the safety of his son and wife.
148	* {{Pride}}: What leads him to try and start a conspiracy against Rick: having worked in construction before the ZombieApocalypse, he can't stand being reduced to a "dirt digger" again while Rick and the other newcomers begin taking over leadership positions.
149	* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler: He is wounded by one of the Savior's infected weapons during the battle at the Hilltop, which results in him becoming infected.]]

153	!!Paula
154	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 72
155
156	Nicholas' wife.
157	----
158	* ActionMom: Issue 151 shows her fighting zombies alongside the other members of the newly formed Alexandria military.
159	* AscendedExtra: Even more of an extreme example than Mikey; though she was seen in the background as far back as Issue 72, she didn't get a line until Issue 125.
160	* DevouredByTheHorde: [[spoiler:She is ripped apart by the massive walker horde when it breaches Alexandria's walls in issue 163.]]
161	* TheGhost: For the longest time, Paula was frequently mentioned but never seen. She appeared in a few crowd shots, but that was it. Averted in Issue 125 onward when she starts getting lines.
162	* HappilyMarried: To Nicholas. [[spoiler: She's devastated when he dies.]]

182	----
183	* AintTooProudToBeg: He begs for forgiveness when brought before Rick at a town meeting after [[spoiler:joining Morton in a surprise attack that almost killed him and left Morton dead.]] Rick is quick to stop him [[spoiler:but still decides to spare his life anyway.]]
184	* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Despite joining Morton's ambush Rick doesn't hesitate to spare his life and tells him that now isn't the time for them to be killing each other.]]
185	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He and Morton attack Rick for not taking action against the Whisperers, but when Vincent realizes that Morton is going to kill Rick he has a change of heart and tries to stop him. After being captured by Michonne he genuinely apologizes and promises to redeem himself.]]
186	* PapaWolf: Mentions that protecting Josh was the only thing that kept him sane. [[spoiler: Josh's death hits him ''hard''.]]
187	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tries to pull this when [[spoiler:Morton nearly beats Rick to death.]] He doesn't get very far.
188	* TookALevelInJerkass: It is implied that he was more well-adjusted before [[spoiler: Josh's death.]] After [[spoiler: the failed attempt on Rick's life, it seems that he is trying to redeem himself.]]

195	The mother of Josh and husband of Vincent.
196	----
197	* CoolOldLady: See below.
198	* NiceGirl: Seems to be a caring wife and mother. She is also one of the few Alexandria residents who does not persecute Rick when he refuses to take immediate action against the Whisperers.
199	[[/folder]]
200
201	[[folder:Josh]]
202	!!Josh
203	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 70
204
205	A young boy who has become friends with Carl during the TimeSkip after Volume 21.
206	----
207	* AscendedExtra: He appeared in a few crowd shots in Volume 12 and 14, and didn't even get named. He finally starts getting a bigger role in Volume 22.

209	* TheBusCameBack: After being absent since Volume 14 he returns (and starts getting more lines) in Volume 22.

219
220	->''"This place is a shining beacon of hope in the middle of a waste land."''
221
222	Aaron is a recruiter for the Safe-Zone alongside his partner Eric.
223	----
224	* AfraidOfBlood: Self-admittedly so. It's part of the reason why he panics when Eric gets a minor stab wound.
225	* BattleCouple: With Eric, and he is the better fighter of the two. [[spoiler: Currently this with Jesus.]]
226	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He's one of the people who show up to help Rick and Michonne clear out the inside of Alexandria.]]
227	* DeadpanSnarker: He's a little too quick with the snarky comments, which gets people annoyed at him sometimes.
228	* DespairEventHorizon: We don't see a whole lot of his reaction, but [[spoiler:he's almost certainly crossed it now that Eric is dead]] And then averted when it turns out this has only fueled his drive to fight the Saviors; he actually handles it quite well.
229	* TheIdealist: He always looks at situations from the best point of view possible, and is convinced that Alexandria can be the start of civilization returning. However, he is also a realist about human nature, since his experience recruiting people resulted in him encountering many dangerous individuals, so he knows that humans can be just as big a threat as zombies.
230	* LoveInterest: For Eric [[spoiler: and later Jesus]].
231	* MacheteMayhem: He is seen using a machete a few times to dispatch zombies.
232	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: When Eric is stabbed by a women they were attempting to recruit, Aaron panics and rushes him back to Alexandria. The wound turns out to not be very deep, and Eric barely lost any blood before Dr. Cloyd treated the wound. Aaron tells Rick that he would have no idea what to do if he lost Eric, making his reaction understandable.
233	* NiceGuy: Despite Rick's initial suspicion about him, he turns out to be a friendly and loyal ally to the group.
234	* NumberTwo: To Douglas. Since Aaron was the main recruiter, it was often his decision on if people were admitted into the Safe-Zone or not, but once inside, he followed Douglas' orders and decisions while giving him some advice.
235	* OpenMouthInsertFoot: His brand of snark is not very appreciated by some of the other characters, and he admits it has gotten himself into trouble on a few occasions. It even earns him a DeathGlare from Abraham at one point.
236	* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler: He and Jesus get together.]]
237	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After [[spoiler:Eric is killed]], the war with the Saviors becomes [[ItsPersonal personal]] for Aaron, and he swears that he won't stop until they are all dead.
238	* StraightGay: He's in a relationship with Eric, but has no stereotypically gay traits.
239	* TheSneakyGuy: He was able to follow Rick's group of experience survivalists around for several days without ever being noticed. During the conflict with the Saviors, he is chosen to go with Jesus to scout out Negan's outposts due to his stealth skills.
240	* ThoseTwoGuys: He is almost always seen with Eric [[spoiler: until the latter's death]].

247
248	Eric is a recruiter for the Safe-Zone alongside his partner Aaron.
249	----
250	* ActionSurvivor: Compared to Aaron, who is a legitimate badass.
251	* BattleCouple: With Aaron, although he is less combat-proficient.
252	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He's one of the people who show up to help Rick and Michonne clear out the inside of Alexandria.]]
253	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:He is shot in the head and killed in "All Out War" during an attack on one of the Savior's outposts.]]
254	* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Though he lasts a while]].
255	* TheCynic: Unlike Aaron, Eric is fairly cynical about the problems Alexandria has to deal with, a fact which sometimes causes conflict between them.
256	* DeadpanSnarker: Less so than Aaron but he has his moments.
257	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When ordered by Negan to throw Carl over the wall he responds by saying "Fuck you, psycho!"
258	* LoveInterest: For Aaron.
259	* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: His death affects Aaron greatly]].
260	* SatelliteLoveInterest: His role in the comic centers almost solely around his relationship with Aaron, and he has very few conversations with other characters.
261	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Attempts to do this after the Negan and the Saviors force Rick to submit, trying to convince Aaron that Alexandria is no longer safe and that they would be able to survive fine on their own. Aaron manages to convince him that they need to stay and help Rick keep the community together.
262	* StraightGay: Less so than Aaron, but he still has virtually no stereotypical gay mannerisms.
263	* ThoseTwoGuys: He is almost always seen with Aaron.

270
271	->''"We were a naive, sheltered bunch of weaklings... most of us at least. Just waiting to get killed inside these walls. We had no idea how unsafe we were. That's why Douglas put Rick in charge-- and that's why I'm '''glad''' that we're taking steps to make this place safer-- things we '''never''' would have thought to do."''
272
273	Heath is a scavenger for the Safe-Zone. He was initially mistrustful of Rick, but quickly became loyal to him after his experience saved the Safe-Zone and made it safer. He is in a relationship with Doctor Denise Cloyd.
274	----
275	* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Most of his left leg is blown off by a grenade thrown by Negan during the Savior attack in Issue 120. By Issue 127 (which takes place two years after 126) he's gotten a prosthetic leg.]]
276	* HandicappedBadass: He is shown to be this after the time skip. Despite his missing leg he still takes part in patrols and zombie exterminations.
277	* BatterUp: Uses a baseball bat several times to kill zombies.
278	* BlackAndNerdy: Downplayed example. He wears glasses and is somewhat pudgy but other than that he isn't defined by being a nerd.
279	* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Averted and actually helps save his life. When he and a few other group members are captured by Negan and the Saviors, Negan passes Heath and Glenn over when he is looking to make an example of someone because he does not want to be thought of as a racist. Nearly subverted when Negan resorts to eenie meenie to pick his victim and choses [[spoiler:Glenn]].
280	* CharacterDevelopment: At first he was extremely weary of Rick and his group, but after seeing how their experiences allowed them to protect Alexandria and working closely with Glenn, Heath became extremely loyal to Rick and one of his main advisors.
281	* DreadlockWarrior: He has dreadlocks and is a badass.
282	* AFriendInNeed: He goes on a dangerous scavenging run to get medicine for Scott, whose broken leg becomes infected. Unfortunately, the medicine doesn't help and Scott dies.
283	* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: The loss of his leg midway through ''All-Out War'' puts a stop to his contributions to the war. He spends most of his time in the second half of the arc offscreen.]]

425	* SmallRoleBigImpact: By speaking with Stephanie on Eugene's radio (alongside Siddiq), Annie nearly cuts off Alexandria's communication with Stephanie (and by extension, the Commonwealth as a whole), which would have prevented both the rest of the comic's following storylines and severely halted (if not outright prevented) the large-scale rebuilding of organized society that occurred due to all of the communities working together. It is only thanks to Eugene's fast response and apology to Stephanie that this did not transpire.
