## Character

Carley appears much more Hardened than she had been in the start, a direct result of the hardships she and her group have endured throughout their survival. She frequently recalls on past events; such as The St. John's dairy, Lilly's outburst & the motel attack the culmination of all of these events toppled with losing lee & what they've had to endure since leaving Savannah had caused her to act quite violent towards anybody who she perceived as a threat to her & her group. She justified her growing unstable behavior towards outsiders by telling herself that she had done it to keep a promise she made to lee the last time they'd spoke; which was to find & protect Clementine if he'd managed to get her out.

### **"Long Road Ahead"**

Carley would be defending Lee and Kenny while Lilly went on one of her usual angry rants. Lilly mentioned something about their group not being above murder, Carley glares at Lee after Kenny reveals what Lee did to the screaming woman in Macon (determinant), as she is still the only person in the group who knows about Lee's past (except for Larry, Lilly and Clementine, who knew a small part if Lee told her in "A New Day"). Shortly after, she tries to convince Lee to speak to Lilly in order to calm her down about the traitor situation. Carley also suggests that Lee should reveal his past to some of the survivors in order to gain their trust or at least ensure that they hear it from him and not someone else. She warns Lee to be careful about who he tells, as some of the group may react differently to the others. He doesn't understand but agrees when he knows Carley cares about him and is right. She kisses him on the cheek and goes on with her day. During this conversation, Lee can tell her that he thinks about her, suggesting that they may be starting a relationship. This is further backed up by a conversation that Lee has with Katjaa at the train when he tells her that a proper romance wouldn't be possible in the apocalypse, but he did have feelings for her.

After Lee finishes investigating the possible traitor in the group, Carley is rounded up with the others (except Lee and Lilly) by the bandits when they invade the camp after they don't get their promised supplies but escapes when Lilly shoots one. Lee rescues her and Ben first when the first wave of bandits breaches the wall. She then helps Lee defend the RV against the invading walkers. After escaping on the RV. Lilly cracks under the emotional pressure and violently questions her and Ben with threats, believing one of them is the traitor. Lilly at first thinks its Carley, but then goes after Ben when he starts to panic at the thought of being thrown out of the group. She defends Ben, and will either be happy or mad at Lee, depending on who he sides with. No matter what, Carley insults Lilly, telling her that she is acting like a "paranoid, scared, little girl", which leads Lilly to believe that Carley is the traitor, and she shoots Carley; grazing her in her left eye when she turns to face Lilly after being distracted by Kenny killing the walker trapped under the RV; Lee grabbed Lilly and disarmed her as Carley fell to the floor yelling in pain. After They'd realized the wound luckily was not fatal; Lee yelled at Kenny to get Carley inside of the RV and help her. Everybody else followed, except for clementine who was still peaking outside of the door as lee made his decision to leave Lilly on the side of the road.

### All That Remains

She can first be seen in a flashback with Duck, Christa, Omid & Clementine; in this scene the five approach a bathroom behind "Gil's Pitstop" which happened to be the place Roman's first Group inhabited. Upon approaching the bathrooms, Carley & Clem enter the women's room while Duck, Christa & Omid enter the mens room. Clementine and Carley began washing their faces with some of their bottled water and exchanged a few words. As Carley put her makeshift bandages back on; the door had opened with them assuming it to be Christa.. though it happened to be Michelle "The Bathroom Bandit" who made an attempt to rob them, that Carley swiftly put a stop too. Upon hearing the shot Carley let off the other two adults rushed in with Omid headed outside to keep duck from seeing the corpse. Christa and Carley exchanged a few words with Clementine defending Carley's actions, after they where finished discussing what had happened Omid suggested they search the Rest-Stop and then head on their way.

#### **16 Months Later**

Following a bandit attack in the woods, Carley & Clementine had gotten split off from Duck, Christa & Omid, The two of them had been chased until they'd both lost their footing & fell into a River attempting to avoid their captors.

Upon waking up Carley had not landed in the same spot as Clementine but did have her backpack which let her know she was close-by; She had found that her leg was somewhat hurt when standing up but decided to hobble along anyways. It is unknown exactly what happened in-between this and her finding Clementine but she would eventually have come up on the young girl who'd been sitting on a log in the forest at an old run-down campsite. As she approached her, she noticed a dog politely sitting beside her on the floor. After the two exchanged a few words, she heard clementine mention something about a can of food she'd been holding onto; Carley pointed out it was dog food and she probably did not want to eat it. Clementine opened the can & fed it to the dog while they continued to talk about where to go from there; as the dog finished eating two people could be heard approaching the forest which caused them to hide in the bushes; Sam the dog would've instinctively followed as Clementine into the foliage.

Two unidentified men approached with the older of the two pointing out that people had been at the campsite recently. In the middle of their conversation; Carley would've jumped out and held the two men at gunpoint explaining that they where victims of an attempted robbery and needed to know if they where involved with the same people, the younger man would explain that their names are Pete & Luke, that **THEIR** group was back at a cabin & that they "did not rob nobody"; The older man pointed out that she had a leg injury. After they managed to Calm down Carley, they convinced her to come back to their cabin where Pete would take a look at her injured leg.

After walking through the woods for a short while they arrived at the cabin where Luke sat them down and gave them some food to eat in the kitchen; they conversed until Pete came down with the med-kit. Though he did not need to actually use it and told her that it was probably just a sprain at worst. After Carley pointed out Luke was oogling her with his eyes he decided to introduce her to Nick, Sarah & Diego the latter of which would bring up ask if she was clementines mother which caused her to freeze, thinking back to Clementine crying in her arms about her parent's being walkers & having to shoot lee to prevent him from turning. This caused clementine to lie and say that she was; in fact her mother and that bringing it up brought "Bad Memories" up because of her father.

The Next Morning Carley & Clementine woke up, reminiscing about the past together until Carley decided to go downstairs while clementine got ready. Luke would have offered to take Carley looking for them as Clementine came down asking to come along. Carley denied her request and instead told her that she would go and "Find Christa." telling her that it was "Too Dangerous" Clementine reluctantly stayed behind as Carley, Luke, Pete & Nick all went to the river.

While walking to the river, Carley and Luke conversed for awhile until stopping because nick had to use the restroom. Luke opted to stay behind and wait as Pete was fed up with Nick, Both Pete & Carley headed on-wards to the river where Pete would give Carley some insight into their lives; Telling her a story about nicks first time hunting & towards the end of the story nick had caught up with them asking why they did not wait. Pete had told him that he did not even wait for his brother & to shut up continuing his story which angered nick when he realized what the story was about he asked why he was telling her, he responded saying it was relevant information nick huffed off towards the river as Pete further explained that "his father wasn't around much & was an asshole when he was, so it was up to me to raise em' right.. couldn't just be 'Nice uncle Pete' implying that nick resents his Uncle for trying to be his father.

Just then, Luke had caught up to the two of them
