==Overview==
===Appearance===
Hershel was a 70-something Caucasian male of average height and build. He commonly wears slacks, a beige button-up shirt, and suspenders. When first introduced he was clean-shaven with short hair but later grew his hair out into a ponytail and beard, a style which he retained until his death. Following being bitten on the leg by a walker in Season 3, Hershel had one leg amputated, which was later replaced by a prosthetic leg.
===Personality===
Hershel is the quintessential stubborn farmer. He believes strongly in what he considers to be right and was known to be uncompromising in defense of his morals. He also cares deeply for his family and protecting them (particularly his daughters Maggie and Beth) is one of the few times he would go against even his own moral code and do what needed to be done. As of Seasons 3 and 4, Hershel is shown to be a skilled diplomat, often talking down the other survivors from taking disastrous actions or talking them into taking the right ones, though these talks did not work with everyone, namely The Governor.
