She doesn’t have memories of “jumping across rooftops” or TV shows or even disliking school because she has never been afforded that luxury. Of all the characters in The Walking Dead, Clementine is the most grown up, the most hardened because she was never given an opportunity to be a child. Of all the characters who have come and gone through The Walking Dead universe, I ask you, who has suffered more than Clementine? As a young girl she watched her parents become walkers, witnessed fellow children, friends, slain around her, and was faced with not one, not two, but at least three horrible decisions to kill parental figures under the guise of “saving” them. You see, while I agree with Leo’s assessment that fan’s affections for Clem play a role in the story at large, I think that’s for a reason: Clementine is our villain. Each of us fell into different camps based on this revelation: Leo was of the mindset that Clem’s nostalgia played too heavily on decision-making Bilal proclaimed he would go to the ends of the earth for our little heroine and I, I concluded that Clem was about to pull the rug out from under fans’ feet in a big way.
