That's what I told myself. But you want to know something I didn't tell you? I never had a plan. I never knew where we were going. I never knew anything. I just fought and fought and fought, and hoped you didn't notice. Hoped we'd find something before you did. Did I do a good job? | „ |
| ~ Clementine to AJ (determinant) |
Clementine is the main protagonist of the Telltale Games' The Walking Dead video game series, serving as the deuteragonist of the first and third seasons and the main protagonist of the second and fourth seasons. She is also the titular main protagonist of the one-shot comic Clementine Lives, and Skybound Comet's graphic novel trilogy Clementine.
In the first season, Clementine was an eight-year-old little girl of mixed ethnicity, living with her parents in a suburb in Atlanta. While her parents were away, she was forced to join a group of survivors in an effort to find safety in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
Through the plot, Clementine develops a strong bond with Lee Everett, a former fugitive who becomes her new guardian. Being one of the first elements created for the game, Clementine was designed to act as a moral compass for the player in addition to an influence on the player's decisions, to which the player would have to reflect upon.
She is voiced by Melissa Hutchison.
