I'm Aipom and today I'm here to determine who between these two characters could win a match of Fiction V. Fiction.

## Clementine

(Cue: The Walking Dead: Season 4: "The Final Season" Episode 1 "Done Running" Song: Waiting Around to Die)

Clementine was your average 8 year old girl living in Atlanta. Playing in her tree house, making up fun stories, and having a pet goldfish named Peanut. One day her parents went on a trip to Savannah, I think. Where the boats are. She was left with a babysitter, Sandra. But, on one of these days of babysitting, is when outbreak started. For an unknown reason, the dead started to come back and eat people. Biting caused some to become part of the undead as well. The undead, or called walkers in this story, rapidly multiplied. Sandra had Clementine hide out in the treehouse with food and water. After a few days, Sandra went out to try finding help, but ended up getting bitten. Clementine remained hidden inside the treehouse. But on one faithful day, she would try looking for help herself and saw a man kill a police officer that became a walker. This man was a criminal on his way to prison for murdering a man that was sleeping with his wife, that man being Lee Everett. On that day, made his way to Clementine's house and killed walker Sandra, with a hammer Clementine gave him. Lee agreed to try bringing Clementine to her parents in Savannah, and that began their journey together. A very heartfelt and heartbreaking journey.

Lee taught her Clementine many things. Keep her hair short so a walker can't grab it, how to use a gun, and most importantly, how to survive. During Clementine's travels during the apocalypse in different groups, she's learned how to use a wide range of weapons thanks to the aid of characters like Lee, Kenny, and Jane. She knows how to use a hammer, pistol, axe, rifle, sledgehammer, bonesaw, handcuffs, clever, screwdriver, baseball bat, lighter, nail filer (as a weapon), pocket knife, needle and string with proxide and bandages, machete, a shotgun, Glock 17, SIG-Sauer P250 Compact, Colt M1911A1, Remington 870 Police Magnum, and a bow. Her arsenal currently consists of a bow, a knife, and a pistol. The pistol she likely uses is a G17 and the bow she uses that was originally Marlen's looks to be a Bowtech 101st Airbome. A G17 can shoot up to 838.636 mph and the bow can shoot up to 236.591 mph. And Jane taught her a technique to kill walkers easier. She kicks them in leg, which makes them fall over onto one knee before she lands the finishing blow with a sharp object to the skull.

After a tragic death with Lee, Clementine has found her way through many groups. From a group of runaways to a prison, a civilization called the New Frontier, and a school of students who learned to survive. She's almost always been in a group of survivors, weather for better or worse. Rarely being on her own. But when she is on her own, she can easily fend for herself. Like cutting down a tree to stop a truck or covering herself in walker guts to bypass hoards of walkers.

And she's no longer a little girl by season 4. While not an adult yet, she's strong for her age. She's overpowered adults, pushed a 66 lbs German shepherd off of her, could lift a walker off of herself, could kick open a door, can stomp hard enough on a walker's head to kill it (some walkers could live being hit by an RV), could break a windshield by kicking it could punch Abel through a baluster, knocked out Minerva with two punches, could push Abel out of window into a horde of walkers, and was mentally strong enough to pull Lee out of his misery.

She's was able to survive getting shot in the shoulder by Arvo, survived getting bitten by a German shepherd (which has the bite force of 238 PSI) but was injured, survived being swept down a river while unconscious, survived falling underneath the ice of a frozen lake, lived being blasted into a wall by a bomb exploding, could stitch up her own arm, and survived falling from the top of a baluster to the ground.

She's fast enough to outrun adults and walkers and is faster than Minerva, who could react fast enough to Clementine's arrows.

And for someone who's learned her combat skill during the apocalypse, she's a skilled fighter. She could distract the stranger before Lee killed kicked his ass, fought off a man trying to kill her (even went to the point to bite his finger), fought off Abel and even outmatched him a bit, knocked out Minerva, skilled with knife in close combat, could hold Kenny and Jane off each other for a bit in their fight, could combat Lilly, and has killed countless walkers.

And even when she was just a little kid, she's a smart one. She was quick to learn how to use a gun, figured out how to use a wind turbine, called 1st grade easy before the apocalypse started, can manage to weaponize any material near her if need be, learned how to survive on her own for some quite time, learned how to protect AJ when we was just a baby, taught AJ how to survive, knows how to ride a horse and how to drive, thought of a plan to fight off Abel and Lilly in Ericson's Boarding School, and thought of a plan to in sneak onto Lilly's boat.

Though while she's a skilled survivalist, she is still technically a kid. And due to not being in school sense 1st grade, she lacks that education, even though she's quick to adapt. And she often gets disarmed or gotten the jump on, by both people and walkers. Also, luck often plays a role in her still being alive, like a weapon being there or finding means to escape a situation. And it's important to note that unlike the other combatants we've talked about in the past, she's just human.

At the end of her story, she was able to find a place to call home, being Ericson's Boarding School. She did get bitten though on the foot and just like she had to for Lee when he was bitten, AJ had to kill her. But, AJ cut off her leg instead, cutting off the infection. While she may be missing a foot and can't do as much, she will always be a survivor.

(Cue: The Walking Dead: The Final Season (Season 4) Episode 1 - Clementine Being a Scumbag Towards AJ)

## Ellie

(Cue: The Last of Us - Theme Song)

In the year 2013, a fungus started to mutate and appear in South America. This fungus would spread across the world, making its infected targets act aggressive and try to bite anyone they can get their hands on. While people were trying to escape those who were infected, they tried turning to the government. The government killed a lot of people and made quarantine zones, places for the living to survive in. But not everyone agreed with how it was ran. The rebel group known as the Fireflies fought back against the government and were under hiding sense any Firefly that was caught was gunned down as an example. To both combat the infected and Fireflies, the military basically made a boot camp for children to learn military combat. One of the kids that was in this military training school was Ellie.

Ellie's mother was a Firefly and she lived her childhood training to kill Fireflies, as well as her friend, Riley. The two lived as normal of a childhood as the two could in a military camp during the apocalypse where the dead are ripping out the guts of the living. But Riley was picked up and trained by the Fireflies after escaping the military. On the night Riley snuck back into the military camp for one more night of fun before being shipped off, her and Ellie messed around together in an abandoned mall sense they figured out how to turn on the interior power. But, they ended up being too loud and attracted a hoard of infected. They tried getting away but both of them ended up getting bitten, deciding to wait it out to be poetic. And that's how Ellie died.... if she wasn't immune! So as Riley turned into an infected, Ellie remained alive. Obviously, not being able to return to the military, she went to the Fireflies sense her mother was part of it. This is where the leader, Marlene, found out about her immunity and so she could get Ellie across the United States in order to get her to the Firefly's labs to make a vaccine. And because she broke her arm, she called two smugglers to smuggle Ellie across the country, Joel Miller and Tess. But Tess got bitten and gunned downed. So this began Joel's and Ellie's journey across the states.

Thanks to the military training and more of her travels with Joel, Ellie is well adaptive to new weapons. She has used a switchblade, pistols, rifles, bows and arrows, bricks, a submachine gun, waterguns, machete, molotov cocktails, nail bombs, smoke bombs, trap mines, pipes, axes, baseball bats, shotguns, and wrenches. While she swaps between what weapons she uses, the weapons Ellie most recently had on her are a switchblade, a semi-auto pistol, a bolt-action rifle, a submachine gun, an axe, a pump shotgun, and a bow, as well as special bomb arrows and explosive cans with sharp shit jammed into it. She can sense where others are via some sort of hyper listening and skilled with sneaking, being able to sneak up on infected and humans to kill them, weather by strangling them or stabbing them.

During her time in the apocalypse, Ellie's been in her fair share of groups. From the military, to the Fireflies, to Joel and the Jackson Community, while learning many survival techniques along the way, like a way to get information while using others and weaponize infected. And thanks to her immunity, she can get bitten without turning and breathe in the spores that long time infected like clickers and bloaters release that would kill any ordinary person and turn them into infected.

Her journey across the country and her journey to avenge the death of Joel from Abby's hands showed her capabilities as a survivor. She can jump fairy high distances, push heavy desks, could pull Joel up from a metal rod that impaled him, could kick a man off a horse, has overpowered infected, broke David's finger and cleaved a machete into his head, lifted open a garage door by herself, kicked an infected to death, pushed a dumpster (was on wheels), pulled a crate with a bunch of junk on it, easily can shatter ballistic glass (60 pounds of force), able to push open a door with a 150 pound cabinet in front on it, have overpowered W.L.F. members, and was able to pull Joel out of his depression.

She can outrun adults, outran a pack of infected, able to dodge Abby's bullets, and caught up with Nora as she threw shit behind herself to slow down Ellie. She's also durable enough to shake off a crowbar to the face, survive falling into a rushing river, fell from several feet and was fine, got back up after falling off a horse and then down a hill, took a boar charging at her, took hits from a bloater (which can effortlessly demolish arcade machines), got shot in the shoulder with an arrow and pulled it out, fell dozens of feat, and took a beat down from Abby.

Ellie is a quick thinker as well. She's smart enough to nurse Joel back to health by herself after he got impaled, said she knows how to drive a car, figured how to work a generator quickly, was taught by Joel to play the guitar, knew how to stitch up her own arm, figured how to work a motar boat, and found was clever enough to escape and outsmart David.

She's caught trained guards off-guard, killed a hunter, fought off hunters, killed countless infected, fended off against raiders, able to sneak around and kill David, have had military training, murdered countless W.L.F. members, killed dozens of Seraphites members, and infiltrated Seraphites' base.

Though Ellie is far from perfect. She has a hard time trusting others and isn't fully stable, feeling guilty for the death of her friends and having PTSD of Joel's death and being unable to prevent it. Ellie does get farley reckless at times, getting bitten twice and not wearing a mask like everyone else when going into a spore infected area. And it's important to note that while Ellie has matched Abby in combat once before, but it was only when Abby was already heavily wounded and tired out from an attack by Seraphites.

At the end of Ellie's quest to get revenge on Abby for killing Joel, her hand got bitten again. While she was able to defeat Abby in combat, she didn't kill her. Whether it was because she didn't want for there to be more murder or because the writers had already pissed off the fans and said fuck it, she let Abby go and went off alone, leaving a guitar gifted to her by Joel in her home to live off herself, unknown to where she would end up to.

## Results

(Cue: The Walking Dead: Season 4: "The Final Season" Episode 4 "Take Us Back" Song: Safe And Sound)

(Clementine gets back to Ericson's Boarding School with the rabbit and hugs AJ, and Ellie plays the guitar with Joel)

K.O!

Geez. All that work for a rabbit.

This was a nightmare to figure out. Their feats weren't too far off from each other, mainly having slight advantages that couldn't make this a clear-cut victory.

Let's look at their strength. Clementine can crush walker skulls and Ellie easily shattered ballistic glass. We already know that it takes 60 pounds of force to shatter ballistic glass. There's been walkers that survived being hit by an RV. Given the weight of the RV (16,000 pounds) and the weight of riders (17,196.2 pounds), as well as assuming Kenny was going as fast as he could when driving sense they were escaping a hunter and raider attack (70 mph). We can get that walkers can survive 99,139.4462754 joules of energy. And when transferring that to TNT, it's worth 2.36 tons of TNT. While it's not an exact comparison, it's more than Ellie's 60 pounds of force. Giving strength to Clementine.

Durability was a bit more simpler to figure out though. Ellie can take hits from bloaters, which can demolish arcade machines with ease. But Clementine survived the knockback from an explosion that sunk Lily's ship. This explosion sent her flying directly into a wall on the ship automatically in just a second. While it did knock her unconscious, that explosion is worth more than the bloater breaking a claw machine.

Though speed is different. Clementine can keep up with Minerva and Ellie could dodge a gunshot from Abby. Minerva dodged Clementine's arrows, which we already determined travels at 236.591 mph. The gun that it looks like Abby used was a military pistol, which bullets traveled at 852.273 mph. That's 3 times faster than the arrow Clementine shot, giving speed to Clementine.

Arsenal was easy to figure out however. While both of them have used a lot of different weapons, Clementine only has three weapons on hand. Ellie has much more weapons with her at all times, and even including the weapons in Clementine's arsenal, only a different bow. But already almost having Clementine's exact arsenal and then some, gives Ellie the edge in arsenal.

Though intelligence isn't as easy, though it is fairly obvious. Both are very clever and has outsmarted older characters, but Clementine has come up with more plans for an attack than Ellie. Ellie usually goes off of instinct, where Clementine would make strategies to bypass larger forces like Carver's prison and Lily's ship. While both are smart, Ellie hasn't shown intelligence on a level like that, making Clementine have the advantage in intelligence.

Experience is difficult to answer however. Clementine has been in small groups and even by herself for most of her life in the apocalypse, only being in one type of civilization, and being the leader of Ericsson Boarding School after the death of Marlin. And she was on her own for about a year, and then only accompanied by AJ for around 2 years until finding Ericsson Boarding School. But Ellie has been in the apocalypse for the entirety of her life and had military training for the majority of her life, but has always been in a civilation besides in her journey across the country with Joel to the Fireflies base and when trying to get revenge on W.L.F. and Abby with Dina. Even comparing the undead they deal with is a challenge. While walkers are slow, they're far more durable. And while the infected can actually run as fast as a person, they can be stranged to death, where walkers can be impaled and cut in half, but still function if the brain isn't ruined. But infected like bloaters are stronger and more durable than walkers, but are rare to run into, with Ellie only going up against one or two. It's difficult to say who has the experience advantage. But with Clementine being alone or in much smaller groups than Ellie more often, where Ellie is in civilizations for almost her entire life, Clementine has the slight advantage in experience.

This was a close matchup and Ellie could have won. Ellie had the speed and arsenal advantage, but Clementine had the strength, durability, and slight experience advantage to make her come out on top.

This just wasn't Ellie's Clemen-time.

The winner is Clementine!

## Trivia
