Go To

Bridget

Consuelo

  • Hate Sink: There's absolutely nothing redeemable about her.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: It's harder to find a line she says without any swearing.
  • Would Hurt a Child: She has no problem physically assaulting Clementine and Sarah.

Gertrude

Shaffer's resident poultry farmer and Bridget's mother.

  • Mama Bear: After Bridget's death, where she hatefully declares to hunt down the people who killed her.
  • Nice Girl: One of the kindest people at Shaffer's.

Lauren Bostwick

Shaffer's resident gardener, and very bitter about said occupation.

  • Hates Everyone Equally: Tells Clem and Sarah to their faces she doesn't care who they are and seemingly despises everyone at Shaffer's.
  • Insufferable Genius: Not humble in the slightest about being the only one who can maintain the greenhouse she built.
  • Jerkass: Boasts about her genius and rants about how much she loathes everyone else to a couple of children upon meeting them, and only gets more abrasive from there.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Her bitter attitude is due to the fact that if not for the outbreak, she'd be doing better things than growing food for a community of people.
  • Skewed Priorities: Tells Clem and Sarah that she values spiders more than either of them and breaks down crying when a single flower is knocked off a table.
  • They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: It's Dr. Bostwick, as she loudly reminds anyone who calls her Lauren.

Matt

  • Berserk Button: Whatever you don't, DO NOT insult his brother after the latter's death. Seriously, don't. Don't. DON'T.
  • Cluster F-Bomb:
    "Fuck you!" Matt yelled to Gene. "You fucking fraud! Like you give a fuck? You're the one who kept that fucking freak around!"
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Kills Bridget and becomes eager to kill Clem just for insulting his dead brother.
  • Groin Attack: Clementine gives this to him when she starts beating him up.
  • Hate Sink: After Mick's death, he's as detestable as possible.
  • Jerkass: Much like Mick, his time at Shaffer's made him this. More so after Mick's death.
  • Morality Pet: A rare example who's just as unpleasant as the character he is this to. He's the only person his brother genuinely cares about, which Mick actually proclaims at one point.

Mick

  • Asshole Victim: Adam smashes his head in when he refuses to relent in his attempts to force Sarah to kiss him.
  • Big Brother Instinct: His brother is pretty much the only person he has any genuine affection for. He hides food for him and even has sex with Consuelo in exchange for her giving Matt food. He even says at one point that Matt's his only reason for staying alive.
  • The Cynic: If his speech to Walter about how he thinks humanity is over and there's no point in helping others is any indication.
  • Entitled to Have You: He has this attitude towards Sarah when he tries to convince her to kiss him in exchange for providing her food.
  • Facial Horror: His face gets brutally smashed in by Adam.
  • Jerkass: He becomes this due to his time at Shaffer's, being belligerent, rude and cynical, as well as his unwanted advances towards Sarah.
  • Mouthy Kid: He frequently badmouths the people running Shaffer's, either to their faces or behind their backs.
  • Mr. Exposition: He explains how Shaffer's works to Clementine and the others.
  • Took a Level in Cynic: Implied, since he says he was actually hopeful enough at one point to ask for help at Shaffer's, only to become more bitter and cynical after being imprisoned and overworked.
