| 29 | !!'''David Garcia''' |
| 30 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/david.PNG]] |
| 31 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Alex Hernandez |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ->''"A soldier isn't a husband, or a father. A soldier is a soldier - nothing else."'' |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Javi's brother, Kate's husband, and Gabe and Mari's father. David was an army veteran who had a strained relationship with his brother. He was presumed dead by his family after leaving to take his bitten mother to the hospital but not returning, before reuniting with them [[spoiler:as a leader of the New Frontier]]. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Upon finding out that David exiled Clementine from the New Frontier, Javier can berate his brother for leaving a 13 year old girl to fend for herself and even ask if he would have done the same if it were Mariana. While David justifies his previous action, he is unable to answer the next question. |
| 39 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:If both Kate and Gabe survive Episode 5 while he dies, Kate will feel no guilt over David's death (feeling it was his fault) and encourage Javi to feel the same way. David will also be completely glossed over in favour of Gabe if both of them die.]] Considering his abusive nature towards Javi and seemingly his whole family, it’s not unwarranted. |
| 40 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:If he survives the events of Episode 5 and is convinced to return to Richmond, it's implied he takes it upon himself to rebuild the community, possibly alongside Javier.]] |
| 41 | * AxCrazy: David has been increasingly growing to be a more aggressive character as he has multiple violent actions due to his HairTriggerTemper. |
| 42 | * BadassBoast: Being a soldier, he seems to be the master of giving those out: |
| 43 | ** [[spoiler: Delivers a good one to Lonnie before he killed him.]] |
| 44 | ---> I'll give you family! |
| 45 | ** And another one to Max when he is exposed and tries to play the victim role in Joan's plans. |
| 46 | ---> It is too late for sorry, you backstabbing shitbag! |
| 47 | * BerserkButton: Basically anything not going his way. If the dishes aren't done right he gets pissed. Javi not doing what he needs him to do he gets pissed. He gives an order and no one follows it he gets pissed. Yeah definitely a PsychopathicManchild. |
| 48 | * BigBad: Can be considered this for the season as a whole, especially on a personal level to Javier and Clementine. |
| 49 | * BigBrotherInstinct: After the council kicks Javi and his group out of Richmond, David secretly puts a map among the supplies he gave him to meet him at a storage shed in order to direct him to the nearest town. Probably one of the few times he act as an actual big brother towards Javi instead of a BigBrotherBully. |
| 50 | * BloodKnight: Kate describes him as someone who thrives during war. He even states to Javi that he felt more at home in the army. |
| 51 | * CainAndAbel: Javi and David never got along. [[spoiler:Episode 2 reveals that David is one of the leaders of the New Frontier, which means that conflict between the brothers is inevitable.]] |
| 52 | ** Ultimately, [[spoiler:the inevitable comes when David attempts to pull a MurderTheHypotenuse on Javi in Episode 5. Fortunately, Clementine stops David from killing Javi.]] |
| 53 | * CantStayNormal: He thrived in the warzone and felt trapped by his choices when he returned home. Prior to the outbreak he contemplated rejoining the army because he felt it was the only life he knew. |
| 54 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: He only survives Episode 5 if both Javi and Clementine decide to pursue him and Gabe, which results in Kate's death. Otherwise, he is bitten and given a MercyKill by Gabe.]] |
| 55 | * CrazyJealousGuy: [[spoiler: He's possessive of his wife Kate, and he only gets more so when it becomes obvious that she loves Javi and not him. Even if Javi rejects Kate's advances at every turn and tells David as such, he insists on believing the worst and attacks him anyway.]] |
| 56 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Deconstructed, he's in and out of Gabe and Marianna's life due to the war. When the outbreak began, he left to take his mom to the hospital but she died along the way. He met up with some of his friends from the military and started the Richmond community. He didn't even try looking for his family. Prior to the outbreak, he considered reenlisting into the military because he couldn't reconnect to his old life and wanted Javier to take his place in raising his family. |
| 57 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: If Javi goes after him and Gabe alone, he succumbs to a walker bite, but he mends his relationship with Javi before he dies, and admits that he's always loved him. He also urges Gabe to save himself in his other optional death scenes (if Javi helps Kate alone or if both Javi and Clementine help Kate).]] |
| 58 | * DeathSeeker: He shows shades of this. As Kate puts it, David would talk about his own military funeral the way other people talked about retirement plans. He would even promise Kate that she would bury his dog tags with or without his body. |
| 59 | * DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:If David survives the season, he clearly crosses it, as he is convinced that his family wants nothing more to do with him and that humanity will never be able to defeat the walkers. Javi has the option of convincing him to come back to Richmond, but even then he's clearly not in the best state of mind.]] |
| 60 | * DisappearedDad: Before the apocalypse, he contemplated reenlisting with the army as he felt that he couldn't readjust or regain his sense of purpose. He selfishly wanted Javi to protect his family in his place. During the apocalypse, he was forced to abandon his family until they eventually found him in episode 2. He took no time in trying to regain his fatherly role and trying to get Javi to leave Kate and Gabe. |
| 61 | * DomesticAbuse: Before the apocalpyse, David treats Kate rather poorly and often scolds her. One particular moment is that he is doesn't bother that she injured herself while washing the dishes and is more concern over the glass she broke. |
| 62 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Beating Javi up and calling him irresponsible for something that was out of his control. |
| 63 | * EverybodyHasStandards: He is shocked and disgusted to hear that members of the New Frontier have been conducting raids on peaceful communities and killing innocent people, right under his nose. |
| 64 | * {{Expy}}: Of Shane. Both are very [[HotBlooded hot-headed]] individuals who [[HairTriggerTemper have trouble retaining their emotions often on the verge of yelling]] and are driven by [[CrazyJealousGuy jealousy.]] Also both have [[AxCrazy extremely violent and aggressive behavior]] often aimed at the person they are jealous of ie Rick and Javi who are their [[GoodCounterpart better counterparts.]] Finally they both fight for a women they love and think they are better for them rather than their rivals. |
| 65 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: [[spoiler:When we first see Richmond, we are given a shot of a Confederate flag. In the Civil War, due to segregation and differing beliefs, families would be torn apart; brother would have to fight brother.]] |
| 66 | * {{Foil}}: To Kenny. Both Kenny and David are men who care greatly for their families, but have severe flaws (such as short tempers and selfishness) that often drive wedges between them and their loved ones. They also do their best to be leaders of their respective groups, with Kenny often taking charge of his groups while David commands the New Frontier's militia. However, while Kenny stuck close to his wife and son before losing them three months into the outbreak, David was separated from his family when the outbreak happened, before reuniting with them four years later. In addition, Kenny laments in episode 5 of season 2 that before the outbreak, he was away from his family on fishing trips a lot of the time, which isn't unlike David wanting to reenlist and leave his family behind. At the same time, Kenny had a loving relationship with Katjaa and Duck, whereas David's relationship with Kate, Gabe, and Mariana was strained even before the outbreak. [[spoiler:To top it all off, David's fight with Javier in episode 5 reminds Clementine of Kenny's fight with Jane in the final episode of season 2, and the player's choice in that situation even dictates whether or not she threatens David at gunpoint or shoots him in the shoulder.]] |
| 67 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Considers himself the responsible to Javi's foolish. [[spoiler:David ''was'' the responsible sibling at first but this was zigzagged when he all but begs Javi to essentially let them switch; he's miserable in his current life married with Kate and would love nothing more than to run off and re-enlist in the army while Javi looks after the family.]] |
| 68 | * GreenEyedMonster: The flashback to the brothers' day at the bating cages makes it clear David wishes he could trade places with Javi and not have a family to care for. David seems to hate that Javi used to be famous and successful, and even after he lost it all, he still lives a life free of attachments. |
| 69 | * HairTriggerTemper: He gets pissed off if even his ''cup'' gets broken. [[spoiler:This doesn't make him easier to work with when he recruits Javier and his friends. It can cause a problem in episode 4 if you spare Joan in a deal to make her let David go, as after being released, David will take Clint hostage in a reckless revenge scheme, and in episode 5, his hair-trigger temper causes him to ''physically attack Javi'' over the (possible, depending on player choice) feelings between Javi and Kate. The worst part? He even ''[[NonstandardGameOver brutally kills his own brother]]'' if Javi doesn't fight back.]] |
| 70 | * HiddenDepths: For all his aggressiveness and anger issues, David is a coward at heart who always takes the easy way out. Not satisfied with civilian life, Davild wishes to reenlist into the military instead of something more practical like a heart-to-heart talk with his family or meeting a councillor. In ''From The Gallows'', he chooses to abandon New Richmond when it was under attacked by a herd instead of staying and fight. |
| 71 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 72 | ** He punishes Clementine for [[spoiler: stealing medicine behind his back to help treat an ill AJ, while ignoring Lingard wasting all kinds of drugs and medicine on himself purely to get high.]] In the same situation, he calls out Clem [[spoiler:for not being a team player, when he himself not only has problems working with others but also attempts to leave the New Frontier after a herd attack the city.]] |
| 73 | ** All his comments about Javi being irresponsible, selfish, and not caring about family ring hollow when David was the one who wanted to leave and to reenlist in the army, practically forcing Javi to step up and protect David's family in his absence. David then doesn't bother trying to find them over the next four years. In the flashback of episode 4, right after admitting of wanting to abandon them to return to the army, David has the nerve to call Javi selfish if his brother does not promise to look after his family. |
| 74 | * IWillShowYouX: [[spoiler: If Max is killed, Lonnie will frame David for the raids on other settlements that were ordered by Joan, and accuse him of betraying his "family." David snarls "I'll give you family!" and shoots him.]] |
| 75 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 76 | ** One of the core themes of David's character - lampshaded by Kate in episode 5 - is David threatening to "desert" his family by joining the military, as David is unable to cope with civilian life and is proud of being a soldier. In Episode 5 however, he attempts to leave with his family and abandon Richmond, the town he had been defending. |
| 77 | ** In Episode 3, [[spoiler:David is kicked out of the New Frontier using more or less the same speech he used to kick Clementine out]]. |
| 78 | ** Despite being a proud soldier, David is a coward who, instead of fighting to the death bravely, chooses to run away near the end of the season [[spoiler: and can potentially die a coward's death]]. |
| 79 | * ItsAllAboutMe: David only cares for his own happiness and not for others. When his wife cuts herself washing his glass, he is more angry at her for breaking it because it was a gift from his late commanding officer. He also plans to abandon his family because he is not happy with being a civilian. |
| 80 | * {{Jerkass}}: David is not a very pleasant person; he punches Javi in his first scene, and shows no concern when Kate cut open her hand (instead yelling at her about the broken cup). As he [[spoiler:is one of the leaders of the New Frontier]], the outbreak has done little to improve his mood. |
| 81 | ** What he did to Clem and AJ is despicable. [[spoiler:In retaliation for Clem stealing/trying to steal medicine for a sick AJ, he not only kicks Clem out of his group but ''keeps'' AJ (despite he and his group thinking AJ will die) for no other reason than to punish her. Clem lampshades that they don't even want to take care of him and rightly calls them monsters.]] |
| 82 | ** In episode 5, he [[spoiler:hits Gabe, potentially ''twice'', although it's an accident on both occasions as he's angry and not paying attention to where he's swinging. However he only apologizes on the first occasion, as on the second occasion he's too wrapped up in fighting Javi.]] |
| 83 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 84 | ** Although he did assault Javi after his brother missed their father's death, David is justifiably angry as he stayed the entire time. |
| 85 | ** [[spoiler:Even though he kicked Clementine out the New Frontier and took AJ from her, David was still right for punishing Clementine for stealing medicine as she did so behind his back.]] |
| 86 | ** [[spoiler:If Javi accepts Kate's love confession, then David at least has some justification to be pissed off at Javi in episode 5 as Kate is still David's wife. Of course it still doesn't justify ''assaulting'' Javi over it, especially if he did not return Kate's feelings.]] |
| 87 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In spite of the above examples, he isn't completely heartless, and absolutely has standards and morals in comparison to the other New Frontier members. In Episode 4, Paul even says that he was a hopeless drug addict before David came along and inspired him to put his talents as a doctor to use and to try to stay sober. |
| 88 | ** [[spoiler:After kicking Clementine out, Ava reveals that David wanted her to have the picture that AJ drew shortly after her exile, meaning that David knew that Ava was going to go and give a bag of supplies to Clem. This meant that he likely had a change of heart from his previously antagonistic behaviour to Clementine and either sent Ava or agreed with her plan to go and give a bag of supplies to Clem.]] |
| 89 | * KickTheDog: David had no reason to separate AJ from Clementine after the latter was caught stealing medicine as he didn't even want to give him medicine when he was sick. |
| 90 | * TheLeader: [[spoiler:He commands the New Frontier's militia. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when it turns out that Joan has been commanding most of his people from the shadows.]] |
| 91 | * LastDisrespects: [[spoiler:The player as Javi can say that they're glad that he's dead since he doesn't have a chance to abandon them again.]] |
| 92 | * MarriedToTheJob: By his own admission David's military career is his life, to the detriment of his relationship with his family. It goes as far as David lapsing into moments where he uses military jargon to order his family around. |
| 93 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler: If David gets bitten by a walker but Gabe survives, his son decides to kill him after saying goodbye.]] |
| 94 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:When Kate reveals to David that she has feelings for Javi in Episode 5 (which Javier will have either rejected or accepted in Episode 4) David's response is to attempt to murder Javi for "taking his family from him." Fortunately, Clementine stops David from killing Javi.]] |
| 95 | * NeverMyFault: He blames Javi in Episode 5 for breaking his family apart when he himself is a terrible father/husband before the apocalypse for wanting to abandon them and not even trying to look for them after the death of their mother. |
| 96 | * OhCrap: The look on his face is priceless [[spoiler: when he sees Javier with the Prescott group.]] |
| 97 | * OnlyAFleshWound: In the finale Clem potentially shoots David grazing his shoulder intentionally when he ignores her demands to stop assaulting Javi. He recoils angrily in pain but otherwise shrugs it off quickly. |
| 98 | * PapaWolf: Cares for his family very much and goes [[UnstoppableRage berserk if anyone dares to wrong them]]. |
| 99 | * ParentalNeglect: Downplayed. While David loves his family and is never outright ''neglectful'' he's disturbingly eager to leave his wife and two (at the time) prepubescent children behind to reenlist in the military. |
| 100 | * ParentsAsPeople: At the end of the day, David is an extremely flawed man who honestly does love his family, and is genuinely trying to do the right thing by them, but his shortcomings and insecurities ultimately make him unfit as a family man, something he is painfully aware of. |
| 101 | * PetTheDog: |
| 102 | ** [[spoiler:Calmly tells Clementine that AJ pulled through and is still alive after she tackles him to the ground and threatens to kill him]]. |
| 103 | ** In Episode 5 he allows Clementine to join his family when he suggests they escape town, even if she spat in his face when he exiled her from the New Frontier. |
| 104 | * QuicklyDemotedLeader: [[spoiler: It didn't take long for his leadership to get revoked by Joan.]] |
| 105 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He often gets this from everyone around him including his family members. In the season finale, Kate even berates him for using military slang on his family and refusal to save New Richmond and dumps him. |
| 106 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler: He is one of the leaders of the New Frontier.]] |
| 107 | * SkewedPriorities: David cares more about his broken cup (that was a gift from his deceased commanding officer) than his wife having a bleeding hand. |
| 108 | * SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:If you pick family-oriented dialogue choices during Javi's conversation with David in Episode 3, David will end the conversation by saying that it took the end of the world, but Javi finally "grew up" by David's standards. Alternatively, if your last dialogue choice is to say that you couldn't have abandoned Kate and her family because they had no one, David will say that the Javi he used to know would have found a way to abandon them, again implying that Javi has changed for the better. Though it may just reflect how little faith David had in his brother to begin with.]] |
| 109 | * TokenEvilTeammate: [[spoiler: He and Javi become allies after reuniting, but let's just say that David's morality is not his strong suit.]] |
| 110 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler: For The New Frontier leadership. David (unlike Clint and Lingard) thinks Joan is a twisted bitch and refuses to let her get away with what she's been doing. The fact that Joan's raids killed his daughter right before he got a chance to see her again also probably has something to do with that.]] |
| 111 | * TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: In episode 5, he chooses to abandon the walker-infested Richmond with Gabe (the only one to agree with him) and leave the others to fend for themselves. This leads to David's death unless both Javi and Clementine go after him. If neither go after him, Gabe dies alongside his father.]] |
| 112 | * TheUnfavorite: David feels this way in comparison to Javi which adds to their antagonism, especially when their father called out for an absent Javi on his deathbed despite David being directly present. |
| 113 | * UnstoppableRage: David will go berserk for basically anything that doesn't go his way. [[spoiler: If Javi doesn't kill Joan, David flips his shit and takes matters into his own hands by trying to kill her. Also occurs when he fights Javi over Kate by trying to kill his brother with a wrench.]] [[ShoutOut Remind you of anyone?]] |
| 114 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:If Javi takes Clint's deal to leave Richmond peacefully, David thanks Clint for freeing him by taking him hostage immediately in an attempt to kill Joan, triggering a firefight anyway where David kills Clint.]] |
| 115 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to discuss his character or really anything past the ending of "Ties That Bind - Part 2" without revealing that [[spoiler: he is one of the people in control of the New Frontier.]] |
| 116 | * WhatTheHellHero: Almost every character except his son will berate him for his poor decisions. This fall on death ears however as David is too stubborn to think of anyone but himself. |
| 117 | * WildCard: [[spoiler: We don't know how much of a trustworthy person he is since Kate wants Javier to be wary of him while Gabe wants us to work with him.]] |

| 122 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kate.PNG]] |
| 123 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShellyShenoy |
| 124 | |
| 125 | -->''"It's hard to say no to a fresh start..."'' |
| 126 | |
| 127 | David's wife, Javier's sister-in-law, and Gabe and Mari's stepmother. After David went missing in the first days of the outbreak, Kate has become the caretaker of her stepchildren alongside Javi. |
| 128 | ---- |
| 129 | * ActionGirl: When Javi returns to the junkyard, there are numerous dead walkers throughout the place. In addition, she appears to be in charge of planning. |
| 130 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: It's not clear whether Kate is supposed to have a Hispanic background like the rest of the Garcias. She has a fairly dark complexion along with brown hair and hazel eyes, but she has very European features and freckles across her cheeks. She also has no trace of a Spanish accent and never speaks any Spanish. Overall, she seems to either be a tan white woman or from a highly assimilated Hispanic family with a lot of European ancestry. The original concept of her character, "Grace," was more obviously Caucasian, with paler skin and blond hair. |
| 131 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Throughout Episode 5, she tries to make amends for letting the walkers into Richmond by at first trying to offer medical aide, and then trying to reseal the busted wall]]. |
| 132 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler:Kate has survived multiple car crashes and never had any injuries that will ruin her looks. Even when she became a walker in one of her endings, aside from her pale skin and bloodshot eyes, she doesn't show any obvious any bite marks or wounds that one should had when entering a herd of walkers alone and poorly equipped.]] |
| 133 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 134 | ** [[spoiler:If Javi chose to attempt leaving Richmond with Kate in Episode 3, she will return in Episode 4 to help bust Javi out of his cell. She'll later note that she had a few close calls with the patrols on her way back.]] |
| 135 | ** Attempts this at the end of Episode 4 using [[spoiler:the truck you stole earlier... only for one of Joan's goons to throw a Molotov cocktail at the driver's window, possibly exploding through it and causing her to swerve/crash right into the wall, letting the walker herd into Richmond. She is soon found alive, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone but feels immense guilt about it.]]]] |
| 136 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Kate only survives Episode 5 if Javi stays and helps her save Richmond. She goes missing and is never found if only Clem stays with her, and gets bit if both Javi and Clem leave to chase David and Gabe before being optionally put down by Javi.]] |
| 137 | * DamselInDistress: At the end of Episode 1, [[spoiler:the New Frontier shoot her in the stomach. You spend the entirety of Episode 2 trying to get Kate medical treatment.]] |
| 138 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has a rather sardonic personality. |
| 139 | * EruditeStoner: Kate has learned to figure out herd movements. In addition, she enjoys being baked. |
| 140 | * {{Expy}}: Take Lori Grimes, make her AmbiguouslyBrown, and you get this woman. |
| 141 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Falls into one briefly in episode five about cracking open the wall. Javier can help talk her out of it.]] |
| 142 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 143 | ** If Javi defends her against David in the Episode 2 flashback, Kate will actually be angry with him for straining her and David's marriage as it is "for life". Yet in Episode 4, she is ready to end things with David to be with Javi. |
| 144 | ** Despite stating that Javi is under "no pressure" to reciprocate her love in Episode 4, Kate becomes heartbroken and acts colder towards Javi if he does not. |
| 145 | * LackOfEmpathy: Toward David, to the point where one begins to wonder if she ever loved him at all. [[spoiler:By the time the events of the game happen, she's already emotionally moved on from him and wants to start anew with Javier (though if the flashbacks are any indication, [[UnwantedSpouse she was already over him for quite some time]] and would have left him if she could). Once reunited with David in the present, she's not happy to see him, calls him out on one occasion and even gets angry at Javier for suggesting that they help him save Richmond, emphasizing that it's "not their problem" (despite David still being her husband, the father of her step-child and Javier's brother). She's also coldly dismissive of David's death and encourages Javier to be the same way]]. |
| 146 | * TheLancer: Kate has been there for Javi ever since the start of the apocalypse, and is his most reliable ally. |
| 147 | * MamaBear: Despite not being their biological mother, Kate cares deeply for Gabe and Mariana, even going in the line of fire to recover [[spoiler:Mariana's body after she was shot, resulting in Kate getting shot through the abdomen]]. |
| 148 | * MsFanservice: Kate is a very pretty woman, and after getting her bullet wound treated to, she spends a bit of time in a sports bra, showing that she is quite buxom. This however also counts as {{Gorn}}, considering the situation. She is also treated to a few subtle camera shots of [[MaleGaze her butt and her cleavage]]. |
| 149 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Feels immense guilt over [[spoiler:accidentally destroying the barricade in Episode 4]]. |
| 150 | * NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Potentially in Episode 5, depending on a number of factors. If Javi and Clementine split up at the end of episode 5 with Javi going after David and Gabe and Clem staying with Kate, then Kate and Clem will get separated by a herd. Clem will barely make it through, but you'll be unable to find Kate, and a "photo wall" funeral will be held of her three days later.]] |
| 151 | * NiceGirl: Aside from some snark, Kate is a good person for the most part. |
| 152 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Makes a period reference for the first time in a [=TellTale=] ''Walking Dead'' game, during a friendly argument with Javier about blood-stained underwear being more of an inconvenience to a teenage girl than spontaneous erections are to a teenage boy. |
| 153 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:If Kate survives Episode 5 and Javi returned her affections, she asks to start a family with him.]] |
| 154 | * ParentsAsPeople: At the end of the day, Kate is an extremely flawed woman who honestly does love her family and tries to do the right thing by them, but is fairly immature when it comes to dealing with them. Her long-standing attraction to Javier despite being married to David, strained relationship with his kids, and her own proclivity for smoking weed (especially in front of the kids) makes her come off as an unfit mom, something she is painfully aware of. |
| 155 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:If Javi goes to rescue David and Gabe instead of helping Kate defend Richmond immediately, Kate gets bitten and dies saving Richmond from the herd she let in.]] |
| 156 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: |
| 157 | ** [[spoiler:In Episode 3, Kate wants to escape Richmond, calling it "a cage". Javi can choose to try and make a run for it with her, or to stay and help David with Richmond's conflicts. If he does not decide, Kate ropes him into leaving with her.]] |
| 158 | ** This gets switched in Episode 5, [[spoiler:with Kate wanting to stay in Richmond to undo the damage she caused to Richmond's defenses, and David wanting to leave to avoid a "losing battle".]] |
| 159 | * ShipTease: With Javier. How overt it is is up to the player. [[spoiler:This eventually results in a confession of love from Kate in Episode 4; you can choose whether to upgrade the ship tease or engage in cut things off, by either accepting or rejecting the confession.]] |
| 160 | * ShipperOnDeck: She's the first to notice the growing attraction between her stepson and Clementine, and hopes that something will occur between them. |
| 161 | * TheStoner: She likes to smoke weed when she can. |
| 162 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Towards David after the timeskip as she falls in love with Javi, [[spoiler:wanting to abandon him in Episode 3 and finally breaking up with him in Episode 5 (kissing Javi in front of him if he returned her feelings). If Javi rejects her confession in Episode 4, however, she too will give him the cold shoulder.]] |
| 163 | * UnkemptBeauty: For somebody who has suffered from a car crash, she sure is lucky to have come out completely unscathed. |
| 164 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: It is hinted that Kate has feelings for Javier despite the fact that she is married to his brother, David. [[spoiler:When Javi, Clementine, and Eleanor/Tripp return to the junkyard, one of the options when helping Kate out of the truck where she and Gabe were hiding is to kiss her, something she doesn't seem to mind. It is resolved for good in Episode 4, as Kate confesses she can't be David's wife anymore, as she wants to make it work with Javi instead. You can choose whether to resolve the tension by accepting Kate's confession or by rejecting it.]] |
| 165 | * UnwantedSpouse: Appears to hold little affection for David, and is unsure if she misses him four years into the outbreak. [[spoiler:In Episode 4, she finally confesses outright that she can't be David's wife anymore.]] |
| 166 | * WickedStepmother: Downplayed. She loves David's kids but admits that she is fairly immature when it comes to dealing with them, having told David when they got married that she wouldn't change how she was around them. She is also pragmatic, which results in her denying the kids fun. She {{lampshades}} this if Javi sides with the kids over her at the junkyard, calling herself the mean stepmom and Javier the CoolUncle. |
| 167 | * WomanScorned: [[spoiler:In Episode 5, she decides to divorce David while surrounded by walkers. She then ''kisses Javier in front of David'' out of spite if Javier accepted her feelings for him. If he didn't, she spitefully remarks that she can't believe she developed feelings for either of them.]] |

| 174 | |
| 175 | ->''"I'm sick of feeling like this, feeling powerless! Next time, I'm not gonna sit back and watch. I'm gonna do something. I have to."'' |
| 176 | |
| 177 | David's son, Kate's stepson, Javier's nephew, and Mari's brother. Gabe is currently going through puberty, with all the emotional turmoil that entails. |
| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | * ActionSurvivor: Gabe is a capable survivor, but a big part of his character arc is him wanting to become a "real man" like his father. |
| 180 | * AlliterativeName: '''G'''abriel '''G'''arcia. |
| 181 | * AmazonChaser: Aside from her being the first girl his age he seen in years, Gabe apparently is attracted to Clem's survival skills. |
| 182 | * AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: His and Mariana's mother is never talked about (Kate is their stepmother). We know Kate was married to David before the apocalypse, so she was out of the picture before all hell broke loose. She's mentioned briefly by Mariana, where she says her mom used to tell her bedtime stories. There's a photo in the Garcia household in episode three that features a blonde woman, with many fans assuming this was David's ex-wife. This, however, was actually a beta version of Kate (who was named Grace). It's unclear if she is supposed to be David's ex-wife, or if this is a remnant from an earlier version of the story and doesn't mean anything. |
| 183 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:If Javi chose to stay and help David in Episode 3, then in Episode 4 Gabe will return to bust Javi out of his cell.]] |
| 184 | * BrokenPedestal: Downplayed in regards to David in episode five. He comes to realize his dad is not the perfect man he thought he was as a kid, but he still very much loves him and thinks that he can change. |
| 185 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Dies in Episode 5 if both Javi and Clementine choose to stay behind and help Kate save Richmond, leaving Gabe to get bitten by a Walker off-screen after a truck crash; you find him just in time to have one last conversation before he dies. Otherwise, he survives.]] |
| 186 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: He's definitely not a villain, but he is considered an annoyance. [[spoiler: If he dies in Episode 5, he apologizes to Javi for giving him such a hard time, and admits that he was his ''real'' father.]] |
| 187 | * EmoTeen: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since he's going through puberty since the outbreak began. He even admits to hate feeling moody. |
| 188 | * FirstLove: He is the first person that Clementine develops feelings for. |
| 189 | * {{Foil}}: Was meant to be one for Clementine. Like her, Gabe is forced to grow up in a CrapsackWorld and lost their innocence after losing people they love. Unlike Clem however, Gabe is already a moody kid even during the early days of the apocalypse and his survival skills are a joke. While Clem loses her parents during the early days of the apocalypse and spends most of years growing up alone, Gabe is with his family during those four years but takes everything for granted. |
| 190 | * HeroicWannabe: He wants to be a tough guy like his father, but his survival skills aren't that great. [[spoiler:However, in episode 5, he does come up with a great idea by using a generator to make noise to lure the walkers away. David praises Gabe for this.]] |
| 191 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Despite David's clearly being a horrible parent, he will still side with him over Javi. |
| 192 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: If Javi kills Conrad in Episode 2, Gabe rats him out for it in Episode 4 in front of everyone and criticizes him for being a killer (despite Gabe pleading for Javi to shoot him). But if Javi instead accepts Conrad's deal to take Clementine prisoner, Gabe criticizes him for being a coward.]] |
| 193 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Some of his comments regarding his three parents actually saddens Clementine since her own parents died during the early days of the apocalypse. |
| 194 | * IWantToBeARealMan: His goal after [[spoiler:Mariana's]] death. But like Ben in season 1, he often tends to undermine the dangers of the world he lives in, which frequently gets him, his family and friends into serious trouble. |
| 195 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gabe has quite a temper, but he loves his family and will fight to the death for them. [[spoiler:He's also the one who criticizes you if you agree to Conrad's plan late in episode 2.]] |
| 196 | * TheLoad: He wants to prove his use to the group, but all his attempts seem to make things worse. |
| 197 | * MissingMom: Kate is his stepmother, and he doesn't really regard her as a mother figure, but his biological mother (David's first wife) is never even mentioned. |
| 198 | * NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:After revealing to Tripp and Eleanor that Javi killed Conrad two episodes ago which got the Prescott survivors to break their ties with the Garcia family, Gabe didn't apologize to Javi for his mistake and sees Javi's plan to make put him on watch as a way of getting at him back]]. |
| 199 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:In episode 4, Gabriel accidentally rushes an enemy too soon, which indirectly results in Javi getting stabbed in the shoulder with a knife. Gabe is very remorseful about this, especially if Javi is hostile to him about this, and he does turn out to be helpful for the ''rest'' of the episode if you still invite him along later, such as helping Javi push a truck.]] |
| 200 | * ShipTease: With Clementine in the latter half of the season. [[spoiler:Both deny it, but Javi can choose to give them his blessing. If he dies, one of the dialogue possibilities is Clem admitting she loves him. The two share a kiss, and then a few seconds later, he is put down to prevent reanimation.]] |
| 201 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Javi can give him a short speech in episode 4, telling him that Javi is tired of Gabe trying to be a lone warrior or martyr when he's actually a boy trying to prove himself a man. |
| 202 | * TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:In the ending where he dies, Kate laments that they let him die under their watch like Mariana, but they're at least together in death.]] |
| 203 | * TookALevelInJerkass: After [[spoiler:Marianna dies.]] |
| 204 | * TurnOutLikeHisFather: Kate worries that he will take from David, whom Gabe considers to be a "real man." [[spoiler:Indeed, in episode 3, when the family reunites with David, Gabe idolizes his dad, and if near the end of episode 3 you choose to try to make a run for it with Kate, Gabe will leave the group to go help his father with Richmond's brewing civil conflict. And in episode 5, when Kate and David split up for good with Kate staying behind and David leaving, Gabe decides to go with David, even after David ''hit'' him by accident.]] |
| 205 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: If Javi kills Conrad in Episode 2 (an act which saves Gabe's life), Gabe will rat him out to Tripp in Episode 4 and ruin Javi and Tripp's friendship. Even if Javi doesn't kill Conrad to save Gabe, Gabe will still be angry and call Javi a coward.]] |
| 206 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 207 | ** [[spoiler:Gabe will be angry Javi no matter how handles Conrad's threat to capture Clementine in Episode 2, either immediately accusing him of being a coward if Javi agrees to it or by ratting him out to Tripp and Eleanor in Episode 4 if Javi kills him ([[UngratefulBastard seemingly forgetting that Conrad had a gun to his head at the time).]]]] |
| 208 | ** [[spoiler:In Episode 5, Gabe criticizes Javi if he killed Joan in Episode 4, as well as David for either killing Clint (if Javi instead accepted his deal) or supporting Javi if he killed Joan.]] |
| 209 | * YoureNotMyFather: Unsurprisingly comes up a bit with his uncle Javi (and more often, with his stepmother Kate). [[spoiler: If he dies in Episode 5 he tearfully admits that he was wrong, and that Javi was a better father to him than David ever was.]] |

We know Kate was married to David before the apocalypse, so she was out of the picture before all hell broke loose.

| 223 | * HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Mari owns a cassette player she listens to during her family's travels. However, she reveals to Javi that the batteries died a couple weeks and sometimes wears her headphones to fool that she's tuning him and Kate out. |
| 224 | * KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: A sweet, innocent girl who dies tragically.]] |
| 225 | * MissingMom: Her biological mother is never mentioned, and Kate fills in as her stepmother. |
| 226 | * NiceGirl: She's quite kind, especially four years into the outbreak. |
| 227 | * PinkIsFeminine: The clothes Mari wears are predominantly pink. |
| 228 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: The first major casualty of Season 3, and her death redefines the entire group dynamic and establishes the New Frontier as a very real threat.]] |
| 229 | * SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler: Right in the middle of a lighthearted conversation with Javier, she is abruptly shot through the back of the head.]] |
| 230 | * SweetTooth: She desires, even prays, to find at least a candy bar whenever she and her family are scavenging. |
| 231 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Mari is the youngest and most innocent member of the group. [[spoiler:The New Frontier shoots her dead at the end of Episode 1. In fact, in episode 3, if you pick the "she deserved better" dialogue option after Javi tells David what happened to Mariana, Javi even paraphrases this trope by saying that Mariana was too sweet for this screwed-up world.]] |

| 240 | Javier and David's father, who died of terminal cancer and reanimated as a Walker at the beginning of the outbreak. |
| 241 | ---- |
| 242 | * AndThenJohnWasAZombie: He died of terminal cancer, and then came back as a Walker and bit his wife and brother, forcing Javi to put him down. |
| 243 | * ContinuitySnarl: Episode 1 stated his name was Rafael, but the credits to Episode 5 state it is Salvador. |
| 244 | * DeadpanSnarker: When he was alive, he had a wry sense of humor that he used to scold his quarreling sons. |
| 245 | * DramaticIrony: Of course, he starts talking to Javier and David about how they need to take care of each other when he's "just a name written in stone". Not only is there still nasty conflict between the brothers during the apocalypse, but in all likelihood, Javi, Kate, and the kids buried Salvador in the yard with a makeshift funeral when they were at the house. |
| 246 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's long-dead by the time of the main story, and only properly appears in a flashback in the fifth episode. |
| 247 | * SecretlyDying: In the Episode 5 flashback, he reveals he had terminal cancer with a very small amount of time left to live, and wanted to keep it a secret from his family. He would have succeeded had Javier not found a document in his wallet. |
| 248 | * TurnOutLikeHisFather: He wanted to have daughters rather than sons who would turn out like him. Unfortunately, both David and Javi came to separately embody what he viewed to be his worst traits. |
| 249 | --> '''Salvador:''' You know, I prayed for daughters every night your mother was pregnant with both of you. "Please, God, a daughter. Anything but a son, anything but another me.

| 267 | ---- |
| 268 | * KilledOffscreen: Not confirmed, but his death was almost a certainty as he gets bitten before the survivors knew that bites spread the infection and doesn't appear later on in the story. |
| 269 | * UncertainDoom: The narrative heavily implies that he died alongside Mrs. Garcia since he doesn't appear again after the intro and was bitten. However, the bite was on the arm, which isn't fatal if the limb is removed quickly enough, though he doesn't know about that. Most sources (including the wiki) officially list him as deceased but note that his survival is possible, if extremely unlikely. |
| 270 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets very little screen time compared to the rest of the Garcia family. |

| 289 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Tripp can potentially die in episode 4 when Joan forces Javi to make a SadisticChoice between sparing either Ava or Tripp. And in a nasty twist, Tripp dies if you choose to ''spare'' him, as Joan wants to teach Javi a lesson about betrayal. He'll only survive if you counter-intuitively pick Ava instead.]] |
| 290 | * DeathByFallingOver: [[spoiler: If he lasts into episode 5, he'll die by falling over. Unlike Ava where she fell because a walker was inside the abandoned car, he'll toss it over, but he can't swing over when the helicopter blade bends. Tripp tries to kill a swarm of walkers, but he falls over instead over the edge.]] |
| 291 | * {{Expy}}: Bears a lot of similarities to Sgt. Abraham Ford from the comics, both in appearance and personality. |
| 292 | * HairTriggerTemper: Borders on this, but most of the time he's able to keep his emotions in check. |
| 293 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As aggressive as Tripp can sometimes be, he's fair and reasonable, always willing to help good people in need. |
| 294 | * TheLeader: He's the closest thing Prescott had to one before Javier came along. |

| 296 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tripp is a strict lawman, but he is quite reasonable and helps Javi reunite with his family out of the goodness of his heart. |
| 297 | * SirSwearsALot: Comes up with a lot of inventive profanities, compared to the other characters. |
| 298 | * TemptingFate: At the end of episode one he expresses joy at [[spoiler:Javier managing to save his entire family and telling him that happy endings like this are rare. Right on cue The New Frontier cut the happy ending short by killing Javier's niece and seriously wounding her stepmom.]] Fittingly, the player can actually call him out on jinxing them. |
| 299 | * TookALevelInJerkass: As the season progress, Tripp begins to lose his temper further and further. [[spoiler: This cultivates in him lashing out at Javi in Episode 4 if Conrad is killed in Episode 2]]. |

| 334 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:In episode 5, it's revealed that the reason Eleanor told Joan about Javi's plan in episode 4 is because Eleanor was trying to protect the lives of the people in Richmond; Eleanor claims this was "triaging a bad situation", since in Richmond she can at least save lives instead of just patching them up and hoping for the best.]] |
| 335 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last we see of her is tending to patients in Episode 5, so presumably, [[spoiler:she's still doing that after everything blows over]]. Since [[spoiler:Tripp, Conrad, and Francine]]'s pictures are on the memorial board at the end, it can be assumed she was the one who put those there.

| 359 | ** If Javier [[NiceJobBreakingItHero opens fire on the New Frontier members]], Conrad's anger toward him is understandable since Francine's subsequent death really was his fault. |
| 360 | ** While his reaction was extreme, he was somewhat justified in his anger about [[spoiler:Clementine being part of the New Frontier, especially since it was the group that killed his wife.]] |
| 361 | * TheManyDeathsOfYou: Conrad is the first Telltale character [[spoiler: who can be killed in three different episodes, but also can possibly survive all of them depending on your actions.]] |
| 362 | * MauveShirt: [[spoiler: He gets some characterization, but can potentially be killed at the end of Episode 2 or midway through Episode 3.]] |

| 366 | '''Conrad:''' No. You're not a man. You're nothing. |
| 367 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: If he is alive in Episode 3, he will insist that Javier doesn't give him a gun at the warehouse as he feels that his actions have made him undeserving of it. Agreeing with him on this will then get him devoured as he has no means of defending himself when the walkers grab him.]] |
| 368 | ** [[spoiler: In Episode 4, if Javi fails the prompt to dodge Kate's out-of-control vehicle, Conrad will save him by shoving him out of the way and get fatally run over himself.]] |
| 369 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: If he survives Episode 2 and 3, Conrad is against the group's plan to save David from Joan and plans to leave Richmond once the Herd dissipate. Subverted later as he returns to help Javi when things become out of controlled.]] |
| 370 | * TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:In Episode 2, becoming rude and hotheaded after Francine's death.]] |
| 371 | ** TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:However, if Javi agrees to his plan to capture Clementine, he later realizes the error of his ways and returns to this trope, opting to leave the group and Richmond after Badger's death to find some composure.]] |
| 372 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If Conrad is spared from all three of his deaths throughout the entire game, then he will be seen reading Lonesome Dove outside of the memorial, and smiling at Javier once he noticed the book. However, it is unknown if he has even heard of Tripp's deaths in Episode 4 and 5. In 2019, Kent Mudle confirms that if Conrad is still alive and well, then he will continue to be so in Richmond at the time of Season Four. |
| 373 | * WhatTheHellHero: He is appalled to learn that [[spoiler:Clementine was once with the New Frontier.]] |
| 374 | * WouldHurtAChild: Late in Episode 2, [[spoiler:after Conrad overhears that Clementine was once part of the New Frontier, he insists on using her as a hostage to negotiate with them. When Javi protests, Conrad takes Gabe as a hostage and won't relent unless Javi agrees to his plan or kills him. If Javi does nothing, Conrad kills both him and Gabe.]] |

| 421 | |

| 423 | ---- |
| 424 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:If Javi shoots her in the eye, nobody really seems sad over her death (except perhaps Fern). Considering how much of a sociopathic megalomaniac she is, it is certainly justified.]] |
| 425 | * TheBigBadShuffle: The first two episodes suggested that [[spoiler:David]] was the one and only boss of the New Frontier and was responsible for all the atrocities. "Above the Law" reveals there are three others that make the decisions too, including Joan. |
| 426 | * BigBadWannabe: While she is certainly in a position of power, she is ultimately a coward who relies on her soldiers to do all the dirty work. [[spoiler:She even leaves herself wide open for Javi to shoot her, evidently banking on him taking Clint's deal.]] |
| 427 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Sure she looks nice, but [[spoiler:she's the one that's been ordering raids on peaceful communities like Prescott.]] |

| 429 | * ControlFreak: [[spoiler:Her 'I run this town!' attitude after being outed really drives home the megalomania.]] |
| 430 | * DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:If Clint is killed instead of her, Joan immediately runs away as walkers break in, abandoning her own people to be devoured and leaving her fate unknown.]] |
| 431 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Potentially can be this. [[spoiler:In episode 4 if Javier doesn't accept the deal to leave Richmond then he will shoot her [[EyeScream in the eye]], killing her.]] |
| 432 | * DistaffCounterpart: She is essentially one for William Carver, being a dictator who [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist claims to have people's best interest]], but is just a {{sadist}}ic {{control freak}} who only cares for herself. |
| 433 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She gives off the vibe of a warm, friendly Southern grandma but beneath the facade is a [[spoiler: ruthless sociopath who has no issues wiping out peaceful communities for her own gain.]] |
| 434 | * FreudianExcuse: Tries to justify her actions for the sake of the New Frontier because of the losses they had during a terrible winter in the past. |
| 435 | * HateSink: [[spoiler:She manages to rival ''William Carver'' in sheer atrociousness. Not only is she an oppressive control freak, she conducts raids on numerous settlements and massacres innocent people all to satisfy her own gratification ([[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist despite saying otherwise]]). What's worse is that she has other people carry out her atrocities, never bothering to get her hands dirty while remaining shamelessly sadistic and arrogant about it, even obnoxiously declaring that she can do whatever she wants and that her enemies [[NeverMyFault brought their fates upon themselves]]. After she orders the death of either Ava or Tripp, Javi has the option of killing Joan and wiping the smug smirk off her face.]] |
| 436 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Said word for word. Her justification [[spoiler:for raiding the other communities behind the other leaders' backs]]. |
| 437 | * ILied: [[spoiler:Towards the end of episode 4 she reveals she has captured Tripp and Ava and says she will execute them along with David, but she tells Javier to pick which one of them to spare. After Javi makes a choice between the two, Joan immediately orders for that one to be executed instead, saying Javi must learn about betrayal.]] |
| 438 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: When she gets outed as being the one behind the [[spoiler:raids]], she starts pouring in alcohol in a cup and drinks it during her MotiveRant. |
| 439 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: Controls The New Frontier like a shadow dictator and orders raids on other communities for supplies they don't need.]] |
| 440 | %%* JerkAss: Is obviously smug and arrogant to those she deems a threat to her position. |
| 441 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:If Javi takes Clint's deal instead of killing her, Joan escapes scot-free.]] |
| 442 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:After her constant gloating and betrayal, Javi can suddenly shoot and kill her (just like how Mariana was killed).]] |
| 443 | * KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Murders the person Javi chooses to be spared, simply to be cruel.]] |
| 444 | * LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler: [[BitchInSheepsClothing She puts up a decent front,]] but Joan only seems capable of feeling her own pain.]] |
| 445 | * ManipulativeBitch: She is capable of manipulating hoards of people into doing what she wants. [[spoiler: Not only does she have Clint and Paul wrapped wrapped around her finger, but if evidence of her treachery is brought, she manages to keep their trust by claiming her action were necessary for Richmond.]] |
| 446 | * MoeGreeneSpecial: [[spoiler: If Javi refuses Clint's deal in Episode 4, he instead shoots Joan through the eye.]] |
| 447 | * NonActionBigBad: [[spoiler:In comparison to Carver, Joan prefers to let her goons do her dirty job. She herself is not even seen holding a gun at all]]. |
| 448 | * {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:Maybe not as obvious as with Badger, but Joan smugly relishes the pain she has caused David, Javi, and the others.]] |
| 449 | * SmugSnake: [[spoiler:Her confidence mostly seems to come from having managed to flip David's muscle (Max, Badger, Lonnie, and others) to her side, and she feels comfortable offering Javi and his friends a deal when they're surrounded by her men and will be vulnerable to walkers if they leave; if Javi goes for broke and just shoots her, her expression makes it pretty clear she didn't see it coming.]] |
| 450 | * TheSociopath: [[spoiler:While she could've just been a condescending WellIntentionedExtremist when first outed as the BigBad, her insanely barbaric and sadistic actions in the climax of Episode 4 prove she is nothing but a bloodthirsty monster.]] |
| 451 | * VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:If Javi agrees to leave Richmond peacefully, David takes Clint hostage and kills him while Joan runs away in the confusion. The character status screen at the end lists her whereabouts as unknown.]] |
| 452 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: The reason why [[spoiler:she's been ordering raids]] is because in [[NoodleIncident the winter season]], the New Frontier had lost so many people due to lack of supplies. It crosses over into NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist when [[spoiler:it's shown that she is raiding and hoarding supplies the New Frontier doesn't actually need, and it quickly becomes apparent she's DrunkWithPower]]. |
| 453 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:If Javi takes Clint's deal, then Joan vanishes when the herd invades Richmond. Her final fate is never revealed.]] |
| 454 | * WouldHurtAChild: She claims that she's sorry for the loss of Mariana (which was indirectly caused by [[spoiler:her raids]]), but the way she stoically says it while [[INeedAFreakingDrink drinking]] suggests she might just be saying that to save face. |

| 462 | |

| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Paul ''really'' seems to be devoted to David after he saved his life, [[spoiler: and even begs to die when he hears that David will not be there to help him anymore.]] |
| 466 | * BeingEvilSucks: Fully admits that siding with the dark actions of the New Frontier has taken a toll on his mind, which has likely caused the doctor to develop a drug addiction as well as [[spoiler: having suicidal thoughts in Episode 4]]. |
| 467 | * BungledSuicide: If Javi refused to kill him. |
| 468 | * DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: He admits that he was dangerously close to it before joining Richmond until David got him back on his feet. After David's fall from power in Episode 3, he has no one to keep him relatively on the wagon (and quite possibly also from getting exiled in disgrace due to his addiction), so he feels he has no choice but to ask Javi to put him out of his misery. If you don't, he gets better in Episode 5.]] |
| 469 | * DirtyCoward: Javier accuses him of being one, and he's right considering Paul refuses to do anything to stop the morally questionable acts of his community, even though Paul has the authority to do so as one of Richmond's leaders, and he owes David quite a bit. [[spoiler: He admits to being one when he asks Javi to kill him.]] |
| 470 | * DrivenToSuicide: In episode 4 he is found in a drugged up stupor and [[spoiler:requests that Javi murder him in exchange for the location AJ is being held at. If killed, his death will be used by Joan to justify executing David and his allies later in the chapter.]] |
| 471 | * DrJerk: Played with. He's outwardly friendly but is shown to be pretty callous at times, [[spoiler: heartlessly telling Clem that Alvin Jr is going to die and going along with the ruthless actions of his community.]] |
| 472 | ** He also denies Clementine's choice to accept Paul's offer to [[spoiler: mercy kill him if Javier refuses first. Even though he knows that Clementine would be more than happy to take the deal if it means that Paul will disclose AJ's whereabouts to her, Paul instead calls the deal off for no reason other than to spite her]]. |
| 473 | * FunctionalAddict: [[spoiler: He's a brilliant doctor, but he has a crippling drug addiction; he admits that David was the only reason he became functional in the first place rather than just a plain addict. With David gone after Episode 3, he's ready to let the drugs take over, though if Javi refuses to kill him, he gets better in Episode 5.]] |
| 474 | * MercyKill: [[spoiler: After David gets kicked off the council, he can no longer bear the thought of having to face Joan's tyranny, and asks Javi to give him a fatal overdose in exchange for AJ's location.]] |
| 475 | * NonActionGuy: He isn't a fighter. |
| 476 | * OneSteveLimit: He has the same first name as Paul "Jesus" Monroe, which is probably why he's usually referred to as "Dr. Lingard" in a series that runs on FirstNameBasis. |
| 477 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler: If you refuse to kill him, Lingard will reject Javi's "Thank you" for keeping him alive. But he'll become a better doctor.]] |

| 487 | One of the four leaders of the the New Frontier, Clint is the Head of Rations and Food. |
| 488 | ---- |
| 489 | * AntiVillain: He has genuine regard and wants what's best for the people of Richmond, but his refusal to stop the raids and his continuous support of Joan lands him here. |
| 490 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:It's possible for David to execute him this way at the climax of episode 4.]] |
| 491 | * TheGenericGuy: Gets the least amount of characterization out of the New Frontier members. |
| 492 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He still has trust in Max and Badger despite the fact that they destroyed Prescott and killed Javier's ten year old niece, while having Javi kicked out because he stole gas (even though Max and Badger were the ones who escalated it). |
| 493 | * KarmicDeath: Similar to Joan, he’s responsible for his own death since he assumed David would cooperate (even though he made it clear he wouldn’t). |
| 494 | * OnlySaneMan: Of the four community leaders. The head of their military is a violent soldier with a HairTriggerTemper, their doctor is a suicidal stoner and their final member is a power tripping sociopath who [[spoiler:was conducting raids on innocent settlements and attempts to execute several members of Javier's group in episode 4.]] By contrast, Clint at least tries to do the right thing and shows some remorse when things start going south. |
| 495 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is the most fair and honest out of the leaders in his community, and seems shocked to hear that [[spoiler: Joan is raiding other settlements.]] |
| 496 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: If Javi kills Joan rather than accept his deal, he runs away in the resulting confusion and isn't seen again. The character status screen at the end lists his whereabouts as unknown.]] |
| 497 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed, he isn’t as bad as Joan and genuinely wants to keep Richmond a safe place, but his refusal to take any action to stop the raids and constantly going out of his way to side against Javi makes him a villain or, at the very least, an antagonist. |
| 498 | * TooDumbToLive: He still has Javi kicked out even though he is outright told that Badger and Max killed his niece and destroyed Prescott. Later on, Even if Max reveals Joan’s horrific crimes, he still sides with her and continues to remove David from power, during the trial he also expected David to cooperate with the exile and for things to go smoothly, even though David made it very clear that he wanted to kill them. To say he wasn’t thinking straight throughout the whole story is an understatement. |

| 542 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: He remains spiteful and mocking even as Javier is about to bash his head in.]] |

| 569 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:She can be executed this way in episode 4 if Javi chooses to spare her life over Tripp, which cause Joan to order her death instead of his.]] |
| 570 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Ava can potentially die in episode 4 when Joan forces Javi to make a SadisticChoice between sparing either Ava or Tripp. And in a nasty twist, Ava dies if you choose to ''spare'' her, as Joan wants to teach Javi a lesson about betrayal. She'll only survive if you counter-intuitively pick Tripp instead. Even if you do save her in that situation, she'll fall off a narrow ledge after being grabbed by a walker.]] |
| 571 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:If Ava survives to Episode 5, she's killed by a walker with very little buildup.]] |
| 572 | * FauxActionGirl: Despite being one of the very few female soldiers among the New Frontier, Ava does not showcase any amazing fighting skills at all when compared to the other fighters. The only remotely awesome thing she does is sucker punch Tripp. Otherwise, she mostly is never seen fighting onscreen. [[spoiler: In fact, she even dies from a sneak attack by a single walker while Tripp dies fending off ''multiple'' walkers.]] |
| 573 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Can turn good in Episode 4 and help Javier expose the evils of the New Frontier. [[HeelFaceDoorslam Can be killed off before fully turning into an ally for Javier]].]] |
| 574 | * NumberTwo: To one of the leaders of the New Frontier, [[spoiler:David]]. |
| 575 | * OnlyFriend: She is pretty much the only person Clementine can have a positive opinion on in the New Frontier. [[spoiler:Not only does she allow Clementine to say goodbye to AJ, she later secretly meets Clementine after her exile to give her some supplies.]] |
| 576 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Ava is ''short'', being dwarfed by pretty much everyone around her. She's also fully capable of knocking the much larger Tripp on his ass with one punch. |
| 577 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While she still supports [[spoiler:David's ruthlessness]], it's mainly because she thinks being strict is necessary ([[JerkassHasAPoint which isn't wrong]], it's just that the New Frontier is [[MoralEventHorizon a bit too much with it]]) and the two have been friends for almost the entire apocalypse. She's otherwise friendly and reasonable as she can be in this circumstance, like offering Clementine & AJ a place at the New Frontier when she comes across them, and despite supporting [[spoiler:David kicking Clementine out for stealing medicine for AJ]] she manages to allow him and the others to let [[spoiler:Clementine say goodbye]]. Also, as a flashback in episode 4 reveals, [[spoiler:Ava actually tracked Clementine down after Clementine was kicked out of the New Frontier so she could give Clementine some advice about needing her head to be clear so she could survive the walkers.]] |
| 578 | * TokenGoodTeammate: She's the only kind person in the whole New Frontier. |
| 579 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: She'll either die getting executed in front of everybody or die getting jumped by a single walker, unceremoniously causing her to fall to her death off a bridge.]] |
| 580 | * UndyingLoyalty: Completely loyal to David. When Joan takes control of the New Frontier, she joins Javi in rescuing David. |
| 581 | * VasquezAlwaysDies: [[spoiler:Compared to the rest of the female cast, Ava is the least feminine looking as she's a bald soldier with no romantic ties to the main cast. In episode 4, she will be executed if she's chosen to be spared. If spared in episode 4, she will be unceremoniously killed by a walker when it lunges at her from a car, causing the both of them to fall off a bridge.]] |
| 582 | * WeakButSkilled: As a scout, Ava is supposed to be quick, quiet, and observant, avoiding confrontation and violence unless it's necessary. When she's caught off-guard by a walker while crossing a bridge, she ends up falling to her death. Whereas Tripp is able to just throw the walker over his shoulder. The only reason he was able to survive is that he was stronger than Ava and had more ties to conflict due to his former role as a perimeter leader in Prescott. |
| 583 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 584 | ** To Clementine if Clem [[spoiler:spits in David's face rather than saying goodbye to AJ]]. Considering Ava just managed to [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure convince the others]] to let Clem do the latter, she comments that Clem "deserves" whatever she gets. |
| 585 | ** Gives one to Javi if he [[spoiler:attempted to leave Richmond during Episode 3, being angry that he almost abandoned his brother when Ava had a plan to help him.]] |

| 592 | |
| 593 | A soldier in the New Frontier that first encounters Javier's group in episode 1 under Max's command. [[spoiler:He is later revealed to be one of Joan's raiders and will side with her during the confrontation scene near the end of episode 3 and blame David for the leader's actions, possibly resulting in his death.]] |
| 594 | ---- |
| 595 | * AssholeVictim: Attempting to lie about David causing the raids and trying to play victim certainly didn’t earn him any sympathy points when David punches him in the face and shoots him after. |
| 596 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:He seems to become this for Joan after Badger is killed and will back her up when Javi and David confront her in episode 3.]] |
| 597 | * KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:It's possible for him to be killed by David between episode 3 and 4.]] |
| 598 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:It's possible for Javi and David to kill both Badger and Max, which leaves him as the only surviving member of Joan's enforcers left. Unfortunately, this also means no else is left to stick up for Javi's group when he and Joan blame David for the raids.]] |
| 599 | ** [[spoiler:However, if the above scenario does happen then [[SubvertedTrope Lonnie will be killed by David at the end of Episode 3.]]]] |
| 600 | * TooDumbToLive: He doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in the Frontier. [[spoiler:Especially when he arrogantly mocks David for betraying and killing his family. Considering how David is an experienced military man, it's obviously not a good idea to piss him off, as Lonnie learned the hard way.]] |
| 601 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:If he isn't killed by David he disappears from the story, leaving his ultimate fate unknown. WordOfGod is that he and Max were imprisoned separately from Javi and David to await exile, so it's possible they survived the battle with the walkers and were banished later.]] |

| 610 | ---- |
| 611 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:If he makes it to episode 5 he'll be shot in the head by David to prevent his infected corpse from reanimating.]] |
| 612 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He may be a member of the New Frontier, but he seems to be good friends with Lonnie and threatens Javi for harming him in episode 1. [[spoiler:Episode 5 reveals that he had a wife and a little girl]]. |
| 613 | * JerkAss: He is rude and hostile to Javi even if the player spared his life in episode 1. |
| 614 | * LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:Happens if he made it to episode 5, but the infection has already spread too far to save him. If Javi severs his arm he'll die immediately.]] |
| 615 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:He is revealed to have a little girl in episode 5 who was killed in the chaos following the wall breach. Sadly, he seems to be completely unaware of this fact and tells his wife that they have to find her while dying form a bite on his hand.]] |
| 616 | * ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:Gets bitten on the hand in the aftermath of the wall coming down. Unfortunately, it is too late to try and remove the arm as the infection has already spread too far into his body. Attempting to remove his arm will straight up kill him.]] |

| 626 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: {{Downplayed}} but [[spoiler:she's one of just ten characters from the Telltale stories who survives the series no matter what happens, not to mention the most minor character to be confirmed as alive at the end. While we don't know for sure that she's happy, it's kind of heartwarming to know she got another chance.]] |
| 627 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She is a member of the New Frontier [[spoiler:alongside her husband]] and may have taken part in some shady business but she is overcome by grief when [[spoiler:she loses both her husband and daughter to the zombies.]] |
| 628 | * NeverMyFault: She blames Javi's group for everything bad that happened to Richmond, including [[spoiler:the wall breach and the death of her family]] even though she had a direct impact on the events that unfolded as one of Joan's soldiers. |
| 629 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:She is completely distraught over the death of her young daughter, which she blames on Javier's group.]] |

| 639 | |
| 640 | A strange but skilled survivor that Javi's group finds while en route to Richmond. Click [[Characters/TheWalkingDeadComicHilltopColony here]] for more information on him. |
| 641 | ---- |
| 642 | * AdaptationalBadass: Granted show and comic Jesus is no slouch himself, but game Jesus pulls off some downright [[Franchise/TheMatrix Matrix like]] moves during his time with the group. |
| 643 | * AscendedExtra: While he was already a fairly important character in the comics he becomes part of the main cast here in episode two when he encounters Javier's group near Richmond. |
| 644 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: While comic readers know that he's friendly, he simply comes out of nowhere for Javier's group; they have no idea who he is or what his motivations are. Episode 3 solidifies him as a good guy. |
| 645 | * BackForTheFinale: He left near the end of Episode 3 and return during the climax of Episode 5 to help Javi. |
| 646 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: As easy going and affable as Jesus is, he is more than capable of beating a walker to death without a weapon. |
| 647 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 648 | ** In episode 3, when [[spoiler:David]] is pounding on the door begging to be let in from the walkers outside, if you choose to [[spoiler:leave him out there on Clementine's advice, or if you don't make a decision before the timer runs out, Jesus will save David himself. He'll also scold you by saying "I thought you were a good man" if you outright chose to back away, though if you just let the timer run out, Jesus won't say anything to Javi after saving David.]] |
| 649 | ** In Episode 5, [[spoiler:Jesus and his pals show up and rout the herd invading Richmond.]] |
| 650 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:After leaving in episode 3, Jesus temporarily comes back in episode 5 to help save Richmond.]] |
| 651 | * ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:He leaves the group shortly before the end of Episode 3.]] |
| 652 | * TheCavalry: [[spoiler:After leaving in Episode 3, he returns in Episode 5 with reinforcements from Hilltop to drive the herd away from Richmond]]. |
| 653 | * CombatParkour: Has ninja-like fighting skills that he puts to good use against the walkers. |
| 654 | * ForegoneConclusion: Despite being nominally the GayOption for Javier, it's unlikely their relationship ever goes anywhere, since [[spoiler:the comic books confirm that Jesus and Aaron canonically end up together]]. |
| 655 | * HolierThanThou: Jesus is ridiculously judgemental of Javi's actions. He chews out Javi if he doesn't open the door for [[spoiler:David]], despite Clementine holding Javi at gunpoint warning him not to. Yes, Jesus shames you for ''being held at gunpoint''. |
| 656 | * GayOption: A {{Downplayed}} example. The player has the option of flirting with him while playing as Javi. WordOfGod confirms that Javier is bisexual and that they're genuinely attracted to each other. |
| 657 | * LooksLikeJesus: Hence the nickname. |
| 658 | * NiceGuy: Jesus is a pretty friendly guy who goes out of his way to help a group of people he barely knows, though he won't hold back if he feels Javi has done something wrong. |
| 659 | * OneDegreeOfSeparation: What Clementine and Jesus don't know is that they share a mutual acquaintanceship with the same Glenn. [[spoiler:Well, did. Poor Glenn.]] |
| 660 | * OneSteveLimit: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], since he has the same first name as Paul Lingard. |
| 661 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Parts ways with Javi at the end of episode 3 to warn his community of the threat of the New Frontier.]] |
| 662 | * SavedByCanon: Being a major character of the comic series, he'll almost certainly survive his appearance here. [[spoiler:He survives, but leaves the group near the end of episode 3 so he can warn his people about the raids. He returns in Episode 5 to help drive the walkers out of Richmond, but makes it through and departs afterwards with nary a scratch.]] |
| 663 | * ShipTease: Can potentially flirt with Javier in the finale. |
| 664 | * StraightGay: If not for the fact that Javier can flirt with him in Episode 5, you'd never suspect he's homosexual. |
| 665 | * TheSixthRanger: Shows up late in Episode 2 to help out Javier and his friends. |
| 666 | * TheTrickster: He props up some old pieces of clothing against a wall to look like himself, fooling Javier in time for Jesus to get the drop on him. |
| 667 | * WhatTheHellHero: Can give up to ''three'' to Javi if he does any of the following: shoots Jesus' dummy figure, does not let David inside when he is trapped, and/or [[spoiler:crushes Badger's skull and shows no remorse for the act. Oddly enough, Jesus doesn't lash out on Conrad for killing Badger if Javi lets him.]] |
| 668 | * YouLoseAtZeroTrust: His relationship with Javi depends on whether what he does is right or wrong. |
