Griselda Salazar (Fear)

"I came to you as a girl, poor and stupid... I engaged myself to you because I was young and I did not know your nature. I saw the devil's face. It's the same as yours. He showed me his face. It's the same as yours... All those nights, my husband and I together... waiting for them to break that door. The faces of the disappeared... waiting to curse us... with their torches, with their ropes... I did what I did. I loved whom I loved. What do you want me to do? So rip my skin, rip my flesh piece by piece if that's my penance... do it now, I will not ask why... I know your nature, you know mine..."

- Griselda's last words, moments before her death. (Translated from Spanish)

Griselda Salazar is a character in AMC's Fear The Walking Dead.

Description
She is described as being Salvadoran. Moved to the States with her husband in the 1980s and had a child. Strong. Big heart but quiet. Trusts only two people on the planet - her husband and her daughter. She'd die for either one.

El Salvador
Griselda lived in El Salvador with her husband before moving to Los Angeles to escape the civil war and opening a barber shop in the downtown area of the city.

"So Close, Yet So Far"
As the outbreak began, Griselda was residing in her home in downtown Los Angeles with her husband and daughter, Ofelia Salazar. As the riots began to spiral out of control, Griselda remained in her shop as Daniel Salazar locked it down, but not before allowing Travis Manawa, Christopher Manawa, and Liza Ortiz to seek refuge inside. As rioters looted stores and burned cars in the streets, Griselda often prayed for the safety of her family and friends.

"The Dog"
Griselda, along with her husband and daughter, in addition to Travis, Chris and Liza are inside their business. After Chris notifies the five that the walls are burning, they quickly leave as rioters enter their shop. As they try to make their way to Travis' truck, the police unleash a high-pressure hose on the rioters on the scaffolding, causing it to collapse and pin Griselda down. The five manage to lift the collapsed scaffolding up to get her out and find that she has sustained an injury on her leg as a result of the collapsed scaffolding.

"Not Fade Away"
Griselda continues to recover from her injury in bed under the care of her family and Liza. However, due to the limitation of medicine and professional help, her foot is drastically suffering from the injury. Fortunately for the Salazars, Bethany Exner arrives in the safe zone with other medical personnel and is able to assess each survivor in need of assistance. Dr. Exner makes arrangements to have Griselda and Daniel transferred to a medical facility for surgery. Later that night as Griselda rests, the National Guard comes to remove her for evacuation. However, the soldiers do not allow Daniel to come along and take Nick instead. Not fully trusting the National Guard and worried about Griselda, Liza chooses to follow them with Dr. Exner in the medical convoy.

"Cobalt"
Griselda went through surgery and her foot had to be amputated by Dr. Exner due to it being so damaged. She is found by Liza in a recovery ward, though she is suffering from septic shock and nothing can be done to save her. As Griselda's health begins to drastically decline, she mumbles about the Devil and what she is responsible for, accepting her upcoming fate as resolution for what she did in her past. She then dies once the swelling in her brain cuts off all blood supply. Before Dr. Exner can shoot Griselda in the head to prevent reanimation, Liza chooses to be the one to put Griselda down.

"The Good Man"
While escaping the refugee camp, the group encounters a mound of ash and burned bodies. Griselda's one-legged corpse is among them, causing Ofelia to break down crying.

Killed By
As Travis, Liza, Chris and the Salazars leave the Salazar's barber shop, they proceed towards Travis' van to get out of the riot. They pass through a scaffolding where riot officers blast a high-pressure hose on rioters on top of a scaffolding, collapsing it and pinning Griselda's leg and causing the injury that would lead to her foot being amputated. After she had her foot amputated by the staff at the National Guard's hospital, Griselda quickly went into septic shock. Eventually, her brain began to swell, cutting off the blood supply to her head and killing her. To prevent Griselda from reanimating as a zombie, Liza shot her in the head with a cattle gun. Her corpse is later cremated by the staff of the compound, as discovered by Daniel and a grief-stricken Ofelia.
