History

Married to a former salesman, Carol and her daughter, Sophia, journeyed to Atlanta to be with Carol's sister after her husband committed suicide following his parents' death. They never made it into the city, and joined up with the original camp members.[1] Shy and guarded, Carol bonded most closely with Lori, both being mothers to kids of similar age.

Carol developed a romantic relationship with the newcomer Tyreese. However, their relationship would only last a few months, until Carol discovered Michonne getting intimate with Tyreese.[2] They split shortly afterward, and Carol entered into a deep depression, to the point of slitting her wrists in front of her daughter.[3] She survived, but she turned emotionally unstable.

Desperate for companionship, Carol attempted to convince Lori, while Rick was on an outside operation, to engage in a polygamous marriage between both of them and Rick, raising Carl and Sophia together.[4] Logically, the idea didn't sit well with Lori, who noticed how messed up Carol's mental state was at that point. Lori's refusal was the drop that spilled the glass, and Carol started to feel more alone than ever. Seeking attention and comfort, she approached Billy Greene at his room and seduced him to have sex. Still, nothing could feel the void in Carol's life, and ended up committing another suicidal act: walking straight to the arms of a zombie, getting bitten in the neck.[5] Carol died in seconds, and she reanimated shortly after, attempting to bit Tyreese, who was holding her on his arms. She was ultimately killed by Andrea with a bullet to her head and buried next to Allen at the prison's yard.[6]
