□ Name: Carol Peletier

□ Series: The Walking Dead

□ Canon point: After the events of 02x07

□ History: Wiki link for Carol Peletier

□ Personality:

Carol is quite a reserved, well-mannered and quiet person. Her personality in this sense at least is a lot different to most of the people in the camp that she finds herself in when the apocalypse hits. She is first and foremost an extremely kind and compassionate woman and will do anything and everything that she can to help people out in difficult situations that they might find themselves in. For example, she tries to break up a fight between Andrea and her husband Ed, receiving a slap on the face from her husband in response. Shane beats Ed up in response to this and Carol rushes to her husband’s aid afterwards. She seems completely distraught and apologizes to him over and over again. It’s clear she loves her husband, or at least did in the past but right now she’s more scared of him. She also always tries to think of the positives of a situation and she never gives up hope. Hope that everything is going to be okay and that the Lord will protect them in their time of need.

However, when it comes to her husband Ed she can become quite a meek and helpless person. She doesn’t tend to say too much when he’s around, possibly afraid that she’s going to say something wrong or something that he won’t like. He has quite a short temper and she’s extremely wary of setting that temper off especially around her daughter and the other members of the camp. As a result of this she is extremely protective of her young daughter Sophia. She tries to protect her not only from her father but also from the horrors and dangers of the new world that they seem to find themselves in now. This shows that she is an extremely dedicated and protective mother who will do anything and everything she can for Sophia even if she risks getting hurt in the process.

"This isn't right. You can't just keep us here. My daughter doesn't deserve to die." - Carol at the CDC

After her husband Ed’s death quite early on in the outbreak she becomes a lot braver and more confident in herself. In fact, while Daryl goes through each of the zombies with a pickaxe she stops his when he comes to Ed’s body. She takes the pickaxe off him and does the job herself, stabbing him multiple times. This is clearly a release of the anger that she’d felt for her husband building up inside of her for so long now. She definitely feels a lot more relaxed around the rest of the camp members and her smile which was almost never seen with Ed around shows much more often. She feels like she no longer has to hold back on anything and as a result of all of this she becomes a lot closer to some of the other people in the camp, especially Lori as their children spend time together. Carol is also very religious and is a devout Christian. She often prays for the well-being of her daughter and the rest of the camp.

When Carol loses her daughter she is absolutely distraught and rightly so, Sophia was all that she has left in this world now. Carol never gives up hope that he daughter is still out there and neither does Daryl. As a result she becomes closer to him and she’s more than glad to have someone on her side when many of the other members of the camp want to stop searching for her daughter. He puts his own life at risk to try and find her and she’ll always be grateful to him for that.

"You did more for my little girl today than her own daddy ever did in his whole life" – Carol to Daryl Dixon

As time goes on however, her faith in finding Sophia starts to waver telling Daryl that they might now find her daughter and she doesn’t want to lose him too. She is able to open up more to Daryl even though he’s not exactly the most affectionate of people. When Shane releases the walkers from the barn and Sophia is in there she completely breaks down. Again this clearly shows how much her family meant to her. As a result she becomes more determined and ruthless when it comes to walkers as she’s shown in the S3 trailer shooting them herself for the first time.

□ Age: Mid/late thirties

□ Gender: Female

□ Appearance:

Her skin is tanned from living in the South her whole life. She does have a few wrinkles but hell she has a lot to be worried about. Her hair is cropped short and is grey in colour. Her eyes are also a grey/green colour.

She is very slim and without much food available to them during this apocalypse she's bound to get even thinner. However, she's still strong despite her small frame.

□ Abilities/Powers:

Carol is just a human and doesn’t have any special abilities. Being a housewife she’s not exactly and expert in weaponry either but if it came down to it there’s no doubt she could find a way to protect herself. She’s an intelligent woman and a quick learner so it wouldn’t take her long to pick up a new skill if she has the right teacher!

□ Personal Items:

· A small knife which she used to defend herself.

· A crucifix necklace.

· One change of clothes

□ First Person Sample:

[She pauses for a moment before starting to speak in her Southern accent. She feels strange speaking when she doesn’t even know who she’s talking to right now. Her voice is quiet and soft.]

I’m not sure where this place is or where I am. I’d appreciate it if someone could let me know what’s goin’ on around here. How did I end up here in the first place, last time I checked I was on a farm.

And I thank the Lord that there’s none of those walkers around here either. [At least none that she’s seen] It’s nice not to be scared of them all the time.
