But when AJ has to choose between ending Clem’s life or letting her turn, he makes a decision not available to the heartbroken players who were forced to put down an infected Lee years before: he amputates her leg, saving her life and allowing her the chance for a happy ending.īoth Telltale’s The Walking Dead and the comic book series came to an end this year, but with the release of the full collection - featuring every episode of the game - we’re looking back at Clem’s journey with the brilliant voice actress who brought Clementine to life with her pitch-perfect performance. She is bitten in the leg while trying to save AJ from a walker horde in the final episode - mirroring decisions Clem’s own guardian, Lee, had to make in the first season. It’s a story we don’t see enough of in a universe where children and teens are too often cut down by a zombie horde or enemy faction.Ĭlem doesn’t survive The Walking Dead unscathed, though. From her first zombie kill to a final showdown with an old nemesis, we follow Clem all the way to adulthood, watching her evolve from helpless child to a mentor and protector to little AJ.

At just 8-years-old, she loses her parents and is forced to do things no child her age should ever have to do to survive.

We first meet Clem at the very start of the zombie outbreak. Through all of these trials and tribulations, there has been one constant: Clementine as The Walking Dead‘s badass protagonist.
