Characters
Quick notes
- Key characters and figures. This directory covers the central first-season group.
- Group relationships to track. Understanding who is responsible for whom makes several difficult votes and arguments easier to follow.
- Clementine observes more than dialogue prompts. Lee’s treatment of other people becomes part of her experience.
- A character directory is not a survival guarantee. Being important to the group does not make someone safe.
