11	Morgan is the first survivor encountered by Rick, living with his son Duane in an abandoned house in Rick's hometown. They stayed behind while Rick took off for Atlanta, [[spoiler:but Duane was eventually bitten and turned into a zombie.]] When Rick passed through his hometown on the way to Washington D.C., Morgan met him again and joined his group. [[spoiler:He was killed when zombies breached the Alexandria Safe-Zone.]]
12	----
13	* ActionSurvivor: He survives for a very long time despite not being a capable survivor.
14	* AmazonChaser: [[spoiler:By the Alexandria arc he has begun a relationship with Michonne, quite possibly the deadliest woman in the main cast aside from Andrea. Unfortunately, the relationship is short lived and he dies afterwards.]]
15	* CallBack: just like his son before him, he introduces himself to Rick when they meet for the second time with a ShovelStrike.
16	* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler: Gets bitten on his upper arm when zombies breach the Safe-Zone, causing Michonne to cut his arm off to try and stop the infection. It fails, and Morgan dies from the infection.]]
17	* MercyKill: [[spoiler: To prevent reanimation by Michonne.]]
18	* OutOfFocus: Quickly slips into the background after rejoining the group. It's even lampshaded by Rick [[spoiler: when Morgan dies, as Rick laments that he never got to talk to him much.]]

42	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 19
43
44	A former lawyer, Michonne is a katana wielding survivor who joined the group during the Prison arc. She is slightly unbalanced, having survived on her own for a long time, and sometimes speaks to her dead boyfriend.
45	----
46	* ActionGirl: She is the best melee fighter among the female protagonists. Hell, she gives most of the men a run for their money, too.
47	* AmazonianBeauty: She's very muscular, especially compared to other women, and is considered exceptionally beautiful by pretty much everyone.
48	* AntiHero: Type IV.
49	* TheBigGirl: She is one of the most physically capable members of the group.
50	* CartwrightCurse: So far her pre-apocalypse boyfriend, [[spoiler:Tyrese]], and [[spoiler: Morgan]] have all died, forcing her to put down all of them either before or after they turned. One wonders what will happen to [[spoiler: Ezekiel.]]
51	** [[spoiler:As of issue 144 he has met his end as well. Decapitation by a villain, same as Tyreese before him.]]
52	* ColdBloodedTorture: You ''almost'' feel sorry for [[spoiler:the Governor.]] But not quite.
53	* CoveredWithScars: Following her imprisonment in Woodbury.
54	* DarkActionGirl: No pun intended.
55	* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
56	-->'''Andrea:''' Will someone come over here and stab this thing?! I want a sword.
57	-->'''Michonne:''' Andrea kill this, Andrea kill that. Stay here and protect these people, Andrea. Andrea, come with us for protection. It would get old quick. '''Trust me'''.
58	* DefrostingIceQueen: Rather cold and distant when she first shows up, but warms up eventually.
59	* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Losing three boyfriends and getting raped hasn't stopped her from continuing to survive.]]
60	* TheDrifter: Before arriving at the prison.
61	* DyingAlone: She's still alive but she admits that the reason why she gets into so many relationships is because she's afraid of this.
62	* HasAType: So far, all of her relationships have been with black men.
63	* HearingVoices: Is sometimes seen talking to no one. Turns out she hallucinates her dead boyfriend sometimes. [[spoiler:However, what happened to the Governor and a conversation afterwards imply it may be [[SplitPersonalityTakeover more than a hallucination.]]]] She seems to have mostly recovered from this.
64	* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her signature weapon is a katana, and it's been shown to be pratically magical with how effective it is at killing walkers.
65	* ManBitesMan: Bites off the Governor’s ear, and bites him in the neck later.
66	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She finally opens up about her past to Rick in issue 139, where she mentions that she has never been able to forgive herself for abandoning her daughters when the apocalypse started (she had separated from her husband years earlier, with him getting the custody of their children, and she had no chance of even reaching them when the outbreak began). Even though there was nothing she could do she has been suffering from the guilt of this one incident for most of the series and feels she doesn't deserve any happiness because of it. However, it appears that she is on her way to a redemptive arc and some closure when she learns that one of her daughters is living in [[Characters/TheWalkingDeadComicTheCommonwealth the Commonwealth.]]]]
67	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ''Four times.''
68	** [[spoiler:Seducing Tyreese, which leads to Carol's SanitySlippage and eventual suicide.]]
69	** [[spoiler:Not finishing off the Governor so he can come back and kill everyone.]]
70	** [[spoiler:Taking Tyreese on a reckless mission that ends up getting him killed.]]
71	** [[spoiler:Amputating Morgan's arm with a sword ''she was just using to kill zombies.'' That couldn't have helped the infection.]]
72	* OnlyOneName: For nearly the entire series, we only ever know her by her first name. The final issue reveals that her surname is [[spoiler:Hawthorne, which was her ex-husband's name. She even explains to Carl that she deliberately avoided using it during the apocalypse due to guilt, and only began to do so once she felt that she'd earnt it.]]
73	* PhraseCatcher: Rick will usually say something to the effect of "Michonne, could you?" when he wants her to kill a walker.
74	* PragmaticHero: Michonne is not above committing some very villainous actions to survive.
75	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Was absent from the comic after the [[TimeSkip two year time skip]] following All-Out War, before finally returning in issue 139 alongside Ezekiel.]]
76	* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler: She's raped by the Governor.]]
77	* ReluctantWarrior: Despite her skill, Michonne hates fighting and several times tries settling down and hanging up her sword for good, only to be dragged back in when the next crisis breaks out, for sheer survival if nothing else. Later in the story, she gets increasingly resentful over it. [[spoiler: It's not until the events in the Commonwealth and Rick's death that she's able to permanently give it up.]]
78	* ScarilyCompetentTracker: She's a great tracker.
79	* SerialHomewrecker: Michonne is accused of being this by Heath in ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead''; he believes it's because she feels the need to prove she's "better" than other women. There's a more likely explanation, though: her romantic history strongly suggests that she's [[HasAType only attracted]] to [[LikeGoesWithLike black men]], and there are few enough of them around that she'll go after any that seem receptive, whether they're currently attached or not.
80	* SheWhoFightsMonsters: Michonne's experiences have hardened her into someone who's not a whole lot better than the villains she faces.
81	* TheReliableOne: She can always be counted on to kill walkers, funnily enough she actually doesn't like filling this role.

84	[[folder: Gabriel]]
85	!!Father Gabriel Stokes
86	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabriel_stokes_twdc_874.jpg]]
87	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 61
88
89	Gabriel is a preacher who survived in his church by himself until he ran out of food, and encountered Rick's group on the road. After arriving at the Alexandria Safe-Zone, he took over a church that was within the walls.
90	----
91	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:He was too scared to open the doors when his congregation tried to get into the church and had to listen as they were devoured. This almost repeated itself during the herd attack on Alexandria, but this time he was able to act.]]
92	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: He's one of the people who show up to help Rick and Michonne clear out the inside of Alexandria.]]
93	* CannotTellAJoke: Mostly an InformedAttribute but he says that people find that his sense of humor needs improvement.
94	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Breaks his leg while climbing down a ladder and is left dangling from one of the rungs before Beta guts him. To add insult to injury his corpse is immediately devoured.]]
95	* DemotedToExtra: It's only the occasional appearance that keeps him from becoming a case of ChuckCunninghamSyndrome. Robert Kirkman actually had to confirm that he was still alive in the aftermath of All-Out War, since he appeared so little during that arc that it was entirely possible that he had been killed off screen during one of the battles. Finally starts getting averted when he takes a more proactive role and joins Rick's militia, [[spoiler: though it doesn't last long before he's killed.]]
96	* DirtyCoward: At the start of the apocalypse he locked out his congregation and let them get eaten to save himself. Later on he starts to grow out of this. [[spoiler:Unfortunately he slips back into this when he panics at the sight of the huge herd of zombies that the Whisperers have. He attempts to run from his tower instead of sounding the warning bell, which leads to his death.]]
97	* GoodShepherd: Completely averted at first, since he [[spoiler:let his entire congregation die to save his own life.]] He later grows into this role for the Alexandria Safe-Zone.
98	* GuttedLikeAFish: [[spoiler: At Beta's hands.]]
99	* HisStoryRepeatsItself: [[spoiler:Gabriel tells Rick about how he kept a door to his original church closed when the dead came, keeping people locked out in fear. In Issue 82, Eugene yells for him to open the Alexandria Safe Zone church doors during a horde invasion, and he does so, letting them in. In Issue 84, he ups this further by going out to help fight off the hordes.]]
100	* {{Hypocrite}}: Is disgusted by the "unspeakable" actions of Rick's group, while he himself was the one who let his entire congregation die horribly out of self-preservation.
101	* LaserGuidedKarma: What he thought Rick's group might be, [[spoiler:hoping that Rick had been sent by God to kill him for locking his congregation outside of the church.]]
102	* NonActionGuy: Although he managed to gather some courage and kill a few zombies when [[spoiler:the Alexandria Safe-Zone was overrun.]] After the TimeSkip he starts training with Rick's army and becomes a surprisingly good shot, [[spoiler: but dies before he can be of much use.]]
103	* OutOfFocus: Hasn't gotten much to do ever since his character arc was completed in "No Way Out". He gets a little more focus after the TimeSkip.
104	* PreacherMan: He was a priest before the apocalypse.
105	* RetiredBadass: It's all but stated that he's ex military.
106	* TokenReligiousTeammate: Obviously, being a priest. He becomes the Safe-Zone's main priest as well.
107	* TookALevelInBadass: He manages to help out and kill a few walkers when a herd overruns the Safe-Zone. Later on, after [[OutOfFocus staying on the sidelines for over fifty issues]] he tells Rick that he wants to join the army that is training to fight the Whisperers.
108	* UngratefulBastard: In return for protecting him and helping get him to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, Gabriel tries to get the rest of Rick's group kicked out because he thinks their [[spoiler:ruthless killing of the cannibals makes them unfit to be part of the community. Douglas disagrees, telling him that nearly everyone there has had to commit murder or worse to survive before the Safe-Zone was built and to never bring it up again.]]

111	[[folder: Derek]]
112	!!Derek
113	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 75
114
115	The leader of a small group of scavengers in Washington D.C. who come across the Alexandria safezone and try to force their way inside. He is quickly killed before the ensuing firefight between the Alexandria survivors and the members of his group.
116	----
117	* ArcVillain: To an even lesser extent than the Hunters. His group only gets a few appearances before they get to Alexandria and are killed within minutes of arriving. The only real point of his existence is lead to the next arc where [[spoiler:the safezone wall is breached due to Rick's group attracting a herd of zombies with gunfire when they killed him and his people.]]
118	* BadBoss: Shoves one of his own group members into the zombies so that he and the others can escape.
119	* BaldOfEvil: Dangerous murderer who tries to use force to get what he wants? Check. Not a single hair on his entire head? Check.
120	* BoomHeadshot: Courtesy of Andrea when he attempts to pull a gun on Rick after failing to talk his way inside.
121	* KilledMidSentence: By a well-deserved bullet to the brain.
122	* TooDumbToLive: Despite being heavily outnumbered, outgunned and in no position to be making threats he tries to force Rick to open Alexandria's gates for him. Unsurprisingly, this gets him a bullet to the head from Andrea and his entire crew wiped out in the span of a few minutes. He does say that the group was desperate, but he still could have been civil and did as he was told by Rick.
123	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Threating the guy with a walled community and a badass sniper under his command was not a good idea.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder: Pete]]
127	!!Pete
128	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 139
129
130	A fisherman who is Michonne's companion after the TimeSkip. See [[Characters/TheWalkingDeadVideoGameMichonne the video game series page]] for more information on him.
131	----
132	* TheLancer: To Michonne after the time skip.
133	* NiceGuy: See below.
134	* ShipperOnDeck: Points out to Ezekiel that Michonne obviously still has interest in him, and encourages him to get back together with her.

142	[[folder:Juanita "Princess" Sanchez]]
143	!!Juanita "Princess" Sanchez
144	-->'''Debut:''' Issue 171
145
146	->''"Look, I get it. Trust issues, am I right? I understand, you guys don't know me, and I have this crazy but adorable pink jacket and these snazzy goggles and I dyed my hair purple because there's more hair dye than people now, so why not? I'm a little loopy from not being around people for so long and I probably seem totally kooky. We gotta build trust. Cool, I'd like that, too. I'm on board with that. I'm not handing over my gun, because as much as I need someone to talk to before I go all-the-way crazy, I don't know if I trust you either. So here's what it is-- there's five of you. One of me. So if I were to cause trouble, or if I wanted to kill one of you, I'd barely be able to get one-- maybe even two of you before the others killed me. So I'd have to have a death wish to try and do that, right? But I've been living here alone for a long time so that very much proves I want to be alive -- right?"''
147
148	A strange young Mexican-American woman that Eugene's group encounters on their way to meet Stephanie in Ohio. She comes off as extremely eccentric and refers to herself as the "Princess of Pittsburgh" due to being the only survivor left in the city.
149	----
150	* ActionGirl: She carries a large LMG type gun and isn't shy about blasting walkers with it.
151	* AmbiguouslyEvil: She seems fairly harmless (though perhaps a little insane) but time will tell if she's really as nice as she seems or if its just an act.
152	** Ultimately averted. She really is a good person, and ends up forming a relationship with Mercer. The time skip reveals that [[spoiler:they're still together.]]
153	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Go ahead and make fun of her fashion sense and odd quirks, but don't think for a second that she's just some harmless loon with colorful hair. [[spoiler:As Sebastain and several Commonwealth soldiers can attest to she definitely knows how to use that spear of hers in combat.]]
154	* GoMadFromTheIsolation: It's implied that her odd personality and sense of humor come from spending nearly a year alone in a city filled with nothing but empty buildings and stray zombies.
155	* MoreDakka: Her weapon of choice is the machine gun.
156	* MotorMouth: Especially given she hasn't had anyone to talk to in quite some time.
157	* {{Troll}}: She leads the group back to a building to collect some things, then loudly declares to unseen people that she's brought them back some horses. The group panics and prepares for an attack, believing they've been ambushed... and Princess starts cackling up a storm, having just been kidding. The others aren't amused. Also counts as TooDumbToLive, since Michonne had explicitly said that she'd shoot her at the first sign of trouble.

177	Negan's wife from before the apocalypse whom he named his infamous baseball bat after. [[spoiler:After being diagnosed with cancer she passes away in the hospital during the early days of the zombie apocalypse and is abandoned there as a walker when her husband can't bring himself to kill her.]]
178	----
179	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:She passes away from her terminal disease and reanimates during the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Unfortunately, Negan can't bring himself to kill her and leaves her inside the hospital.]]
180	* TheLostLenore: While most readers probably saw it coming a mile away [[spoiler:her death is what breaks Negan and starts him down the path he takes.]]
181	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:She is the first casualty and dies right at the beginning of the book, but as Negan's wife her death carries huge ramifications for not just the rest of Here's Negan but the main series as well.]]

204	* MustNotDieAVirgin: To add insult to injury [[spoiler:he dies mere seconds after resolving to find the girl he had a crush on and protect her from the walkers in the hopes of getting laid after confessing to Negan that he was still a virgin.]]
205	* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:He is abruptly pounced on and eaten by a walker while he and Negan were sharing a bonding moment while leaving the hospital.]]

219	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:The entire group save for Negan is wiped out when a small swarm of walkers surround them during the night.]]
220	* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:Which leads to their deaths.]] Even Negan calls them out on this.
221	-->You pricks could have TOLD me that we were surrounded...
222	* GuttedLikeAFish: [[spoiler:Happens to Paul himself.]]

283	* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of Here's Negan. He serves as the only real antagonist in the story and his death is what inspires Negan to create the Saviors.]]
284	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:After getting into a fight with Negan he becomes Lucille's first victim and perishes in much the same way Glenn did... having his head pounded into mush.]]
285	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:During his fight with Negan he gets one of his eyes knocked out of his skull by Lucille.]]
286	* KnightOfCerebus: Up until his introduction the only threat to the survivors came from the walkers and their own stupidity. Not only is this guy the first human Negan has to fight [[spoiler:and kill]] he is also an unrepentant rapist who views the women in his group as bartering tools and flies into a rage when Negan speaks out against it. [[spoiler:His death also marks the point where Negan crosses the threshold into the mindset that would lead him to become what he is in the main comic.]] Here's Negan was by no means a ray of sunshine before, but his appearance is what firmly establishes the HumansAreBastards mentality that the main comic has become known for and teaches Negan that the living can be even worse than the dead.
287	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He views the women in his group as utilities and offers Negan a night with Amber when he shows an interest in her. Negan is appalled by this and the two get into a fight.
