Clementine (Walking Dead)

Clementine, also known as Clem, is one of the main protagonists from The Walking Dead series.
== Charactah Account ==
Clementine is a quiet and imaginative eight-year-old girl with two attentive, loving parents. She's incredibly resourceful, choosing to spend time building elaborate fantasies in her tree-house instead of watching cartoons or playing with dolls. She doesn't get scared easily but will clam up if nervous. Reserved and shy, her actions speak louder than her words.
Come Season Two, Clem has taken over the role of protagonist. Now eleven years old, the zombie apocalypse has shaped her into a quick and resourceful survivor, albeit one who is not always taken seriously by others due to her age.
Season Three rolls around and Clementine is now a pragmatic crack shot around the age of 13 to 14 who meets up with Javier and helps him and his family - she's also the deadliest thing out there when faced with humans, zombies and anything else the world can think to hurl at her.
Clementine returns to being the main protagonist in the Final Season. Now 16 years old, she continues to look after Alvin Jr. while teaching him how to survive this harsh world.

== Trivia ==
* Telltale's staff have given conflicting statements regarding Clementine's ethnicity.
** Sean Vanaman and Melissa Hutchison have stated she is mixed race in the 2013 "Saving Doug: Empathy, Character, and Choice in The Walking Dead" conference and "Walking Dead 'Cast 247: The Walking Dead: A New Frontier" podcast, respectively. Vanaman first confirmed that Clementine is mixed-race, and Hutchison later speculated her to be African-American and Asian.
*** Clementine's character design in season one was inspired by art director Derek Sakai's daughter . This further supports the idea that she is intended to be African-American and Asian.
** Jessica Brezzo stated in an online interview that Clem was African-American.
** In 2019, an anonymous commenter claiming to be Brezzo replied to a comment on the post of the interview's Wikia page stating that at the time of the interview she hadn't spoken to Vanaman or Hutchison on the subject, hadn't realized it was a topic of debate among the fandom, and never stated that Clem was solely African-American.
* Developer of the game revealed Clementine's last name was originally "Crawford" before the developers of "Around Every Corner" invented the neighborhood of Crawford .
* Melissa Hutchinson initially stated that Clementine was seventeen in Season Four, though she later amended her statement to sixteen. Melissa also mentioned that Clementine was originally supposed to start at age seven (hence her being in the first grade) because of the change Melissa says that the girl was in the second grade at the start of the game, although Lee Everett assumed she was in first, due to Katjaa's comment.

** In "Broken Toys", while choosing the color of the party's lightning, it is revealed that it is also her father's favorite color.
* Clementine has a goldfish named Peanut as pet, which is confirmed in "A New Day"
** In "Around Every Corner", Clementine can mention that she had a hamster once. (Determinant)

* In Season 2, Clementine has the torn photo of Lee from "A New Day" and her drawing of Kenny's family from "Long Road Ahead", which she keeps in her backpack from the same episode. It is unknown if she had convinced Christa and Omid to venture to Macon with her to retrieve the former after the events of "No Time Left", or if she had secretly kept it since "A New Day".
* Clementine has kept more physical mementos of people she cared about than anyone else: her father's hat, a photo of Lee, a drawing of Kenny, Katjaa, and Duck, hair clips from Lilly, a gold watch from Pete (Determinant), a jacket from Bonnie, Sarah's glasses (Determinant), Jane's nail file, (Determinant) Kenny's hat, (Determinant), Gabe's playing cards (Determinant), and Violet's button (Determinant).

** In "All That Remains", when Clementine accidentally knocks over her water bottle in the pit-stop bathroom, she will instinctively curse "Oh, shoot" or "Oh, shit" depending on Lee's words.

** Clementine's first cigarette was shared with Bonnie. (Determinant)
* It was given by Telltale that supposedly the game would involve Clementine and her brother, but due to the pre-existing relationship before the apocalypse, her brother was cut from the game, replaced by Lee Everett.
