**Clementine**, nicknamed **Clem** by many of her companions, is a protagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in JunoBox's Dawn of The Walking Dead. She is a deuteragonist of Season One. A mature, kind, and polite girl, she acts as the moral compass of the group and tries her best to maintain the humanity of the group in a post-apocalyptic world.

## Overview

For a little girl, Clementine displays remarkable intelligence and maturity, presumably due to the seriousness of the environment. When she last attended school, Clementine was in the second grade, which she believed to be "easy". She can be practical and improvise in situations such as helping Lee brace the door with his father's cane when the walkers close in on the drug store.

In addition to her intelligence, Clementine is also a very empathetic and compassionate person. She is shown to care deeply about the people around her, even those she has just met. Despite her maturity, Clementine still retains some of the innocence of childhood. She is curious about the world around her and enjoys exploring new places. She also has a strong imagination, which helps her to cope with the horrors she has witnessed.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Clementine was born to Ed and Diana on October 26, 1994 and lived a loving life. In "**Just One Bullet Goes a Long Way",** when helping Lee in the drugstore, she mentioned that her mother was a doctor and her father an engineer. She wears a baseball cap, given to her by her father temporarily, and carries a walkie-talkie. She was in the second grade, and presumably classmates with Rachel along with a few other friends, and found school to be easy despite her age. She's smart and can hold her own if necessary, known to spend hours building elaborate make-believe tales in her treehouse and reading books rather than watch cartoons or play with dolls. She also played soccer but admittedly she didn't like it.

Sometime before the outbreak, her parents left for a trip to Savannah and left Clementine and Rachel with a babysitter named Sandra.

During the summers, she along with Rachel and other neighborhood children would play games outside for prizes such as trading cards and candy before retiring indoors for the night.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season One

When the plague began, Clementine and Rachel Paul were having a playdate at her house when their babysitter, Sandra was attacked. The two fled to her treehouse and remained there for days. Hours after the initial attack, she and Rachel use her walkie-talkie to attempt to make contact with Rachel’s family. Eventually, the get a response from Travis, the best friend of Rachel’s brother. Until his arrival, the two girls remained in hiding and heard many gunshots at and chaos.
The two girls come across Travis inside Clementine’s house, and together they retreat back to the treehouse. For next day, the trio remained in the treehouse as the world fell apart around them. Sometime during the day, a man arrived and attempted to break into her house, so he could steal their TV, but walkers scared him away. After a long while of waiting, Rachel tells Clementine that she wants to sneak out and attempt to find her brother, much to her worry. Before they can discuss any further, a car crashes loudly in the woods behind them, and Rachel immediately leaves the treehouse, deciding to investigate. The two climb the fence and trek into the backwoods when they spot a man. When The man spots them, he tells them to go and get help, walkers arrive and the girls, obviously afraid, runs back to their hiding spot. They reunite with a worried Travis, who before he can reprimand them for leaving, quiets them down as the man from the woods enters the yard.
They are all later found by Lee while he was wandering through her house in search of help. After helping him fight off Sandra, now a walker, he begins to realize the girls’ parents may not have made it and decides to look after the girls, including Travis. Lee begins to feel affection and concern for the young girls.
After leaving the house, they encounter Shawn Greene Officer Andre Mitchell in the street, Shawn mistakes the three children as Lee's children, to which Lee gives Shawn an explanation of how he knows them, stating they were all alone when he found them. Shawn then takes Lee and the kids to his father's farm. When Shawn tells his father, Hershel, Lee's story, Hershel asks the children if they know who Lee is, to which they all respond with yes.
The next morning, The kids and Lee meet Kenny and his wife, Katjaa, along with their son, Duck. Rachel took to accompanying Duck quickly, taking a liking to his playful attitude, while Clementine was befriended by Katjaa, with her acting like a motherly figure for her. Travis sticks with Kenny to assist him in repairing his vehicle. Clementine also witnesses the walker attack that kills Shawn, which causes Hershel Greene to kick the group off his farm as he blames Kenny for not saving his son. Kenny's family offers to take Lee and the kids to Macon, Lee's hometown, to which he accepts.
The group's pickup truck runs out of gas shortly after arriving in downtown Macon. As they were exploring the streets, they were almost immediately advanced upon by walkers. The group was saved by the intervention of Glenn and Carley, who led them into a nearby drug store owned by Lee's parents. As soon as they met the rest of the group who had holed up in the store, including Doug, Lilly, and her father, Larry. As the adults argue over the fate of Duck, whom Larry believed was bitten, Clementine informs Lee she needs to use the restroom. Lee tells her to just go use the one in the store, but as she opens the door, she is attacked by a walker that had been undetected by the group. Clementine is grabbed, but Lee saves her and in turn is saved by Carley, who shoots the walker.
Clementine was then charged with the task of keeping in contact with Glenn over her walkie-talkie while he retrieved gasoline for Kenny's pickup truck at a nearby motel. While the group waited and attempted to find a way into the pharmacy to obtain nitroglycerin tablets for Larry's heart condition, Clementine and Rachel helped Lee search the office and asked him about himself and his family. Clementine also asks about the cane Lee finds while clearing the office, to which he responds it was his dad's, and that it was "better at protecting this place than any guard dog." Clementine is also present when Carley approaches Lee and tells him she is knowledgeable about his past.
After the pharmacy's alarm prompted a large-scale walker attack, Clementine and Rachel assist Lee in blocking the doors by retrieving his father's cane and handing it to him, after which he slides it through the handles. Clementine is tripped and grabbed by another walker as they escape, tearing her away from Rachel. But Lee saves her a second time.
Later, as the survivors regroup in a motor inn, Clementine expresses her distress to Lee over having broken her walkie-talkie when she fell, which she had used to talk to her parents. She is comforted by Rachel.

"Starved For Help"
Three months later, Clementine is seen at the Motor Inn playing soccer with Rachel when Lee returns with his hunting party. She is called over, along with Rachel by Travis to meet one of the newcomers they'd brought back with them. It's then Rachel reunited with her older brother, Ben Paul.
Lee goes over and talks with the kids. He asks Clementine about her missing hat, and her radio. He gives the three youngest members of the group rations, and offers Ben some as well, but is turned down. Rachel forcefully gives her brother part of her rations instead.
Later once Ben and Travis return from the dairy, the group arrive at the dairy for the evening. Clementine and Rachel are adding entries to their shared scrapbook as Kenny pushed Duck on the repaired swing. After taking their picture, Duck and Rachel leave to tour the dairy on their own for a while before joining Clementine, Katjaa and Andy in the barn. Lee returns from his trip with Danny and returns her once missing hat.

## Trivia

* Her birthday is October 26th.
* In a older draft of Chapter 2, Rachel and Clementine would have met three new survivors: Deborah, Oliver and their mother, who would later be revealed to be bit.
	+ Initially, things went the same, but the person sneaking about upstairs would have been an 11-year-old girl named Deborah, who shared a personality similar to Sarah from Season 2. She would come downstairs while Clementine and Rachel were hiding and call out to them. Rachel would jump out and aim a spatula at her, freaking Debbie out. Oliver, a 14-year-old boy, would come downstairs and defuse the situation with a flashlight, but Rachel would accuse them of being robbers. Oliver would spin the accusations back on them and accuse them of being murderers, to the girls’ horror. Clementine would defend them both, saying that the house they were in was hers, and Oliver asks her to prove it. She would then point to the art on the wall near the front door with her name on it. Olly apologizes, and Rachel asks why he would call them murderers. Oliver says it’s because there’s blood all over the place, like the kitchen and on their shoes. Rachel and Clementine would look down and see they tracked blood on the floor and then freak out.
	+ Clementine asks them why they broke in, and Deborah explains they were going to the store when they got jumped in the parking lot (by a walker). They got away in their car, but their mom crashed a little ways down the street and was hurt badly, so they brought her inside and to the bathroom upstairs.
* In an older version of Chapter 2, Clementine and Rachel would've came across a walker Sandra, instead of Travis.
* Clementine and Rachel had started apocalypse differently than in the final release.
	+ In a scrapped version of Chapter 1, The chapter started with Rachel and Clementine talking to each other over the radio before a flashback started. Clementine and Rachel would have been on a bus coming from summer camp.
	+ Sandra would have been there and picked them up. She'd ask them about camp, and they'd each tell her something about camp that would have played an important role later on in the story.
	+ They arrive at Clementine's house, and Rachel's mother is outside. She hugs her and asks why she hadn’t left for Savannah yet. Mom says she wanted to hang out with her children before heading to the coast and ushers the kids to the backyard, where they see a surprise birthday party set up.
	+ Rachel's opening presents. Emily hands Rachel a gift, and she opens it. This is how Rachel would have gotten her stuffed rabbit, Captain Yellowbear. The flashback would have ended with a camera flash and picked up with the start of Chapter 2.
	+ Rachel would have actually been home instead of at Clementine’s. Travis would find her, and Rachel would say they have to go save Clementine because she’s all alone.
	+ The scene where the girls would enter the house and run into Travis would have happened, only difference is Clementine would have been alone and ran into Travis and Rachel.
	+ It's implied Clementine was also on a soccer team with Rachel. She might not have enjoyed it unlike Rachel, as she states that she didn't really enjoy playing on the soccer team.
* It's implied multiple times that Clementine is the voice of reason between her and Rachel.
	+ In "Adventure in Babysitting", she urges Rachel to not venture out of the safety of the tree house.
	+ In "Just One Bullet Goes a Long Way", Clementine reiterates her wish for Rachel to stay with them and not leave the safety of the group.
