Tavia (Video Game)

"I give you my word."

- Tavia's last words to the group about telling the truth. (Determinant)

Tavia is an original character, the tritagonist in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC, and a returning character in Season Two.

She appeared for the first time in the epilogue of "400 Days" and is the final playable character. She claimed to be a scout for a growing settlement that finds the pictures left by the 5 main characters and makes an offer to join her.

Later she reappears in Season 2, which reveals the settlement she recruits for is actually Howe's Hardware.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Tavia's life before or as the outbreak began.

"400 Days"
Tavia is seen at Gil's Pitstop (which appeared to be overrun) looking for survivors. She contacts an unknown man through a walkie-talkie and then sees smoke in the distance. She rides there to investigate where she discovers a campsite and meets with Vince, Wyatt, Shel, Becca, Bonnie, and Russell, all of whom are worried when they see her. She explains to them that she is from a large settlement from the north. Tavia tries to convince the survivors to come and join her in her legitimate community.

Tavia's Offer
Whether or not the characters go with Tavia depends on the choices you made whilst playing as them:


 * Vince will only join if he shoots Danny and leaves with Justin.
 * Wyatt will join if he leaves Eddie behind, or if he's left behind and Tavia told that there might be people he knows in Tavia's community, because he wants to find Eddie.
 * Russell will only join if he's told that there might be people he knows in Tavia's community, because he wants to find his grandmother.
 * Bonnie will join regardless of choices in her story.
 * Shel and Becca will join if Shel decides to execute Roberto, and leaves with the RV. If Shel did kill Stephanie, they will instead join if told there are people of all ages in the camp.

"In Harm's Way"
Tavia is first seen after the truck holding the cabin survivors arrives at Howe's Hardware. She is standing with her group protecting Carver while they unload the prisoners. If Alvin survives, she will take him to Carver's office. The next day she is next to Carver while he gives a speech to the group. After that she takes Clementine to her next job. A minutes later, after taking Clementine to Bonnie, she takes her again to work in the greenhouse with Reggie in charge.

At night, Clementine breaks into the storage area where she finds Tavia guarding a stock of walkie-talkies. Tavia is distracted by talking to Hank over the radio, allowing Clementine to steal a pair of walkie-talkies. If Vince left with her at the end of "400 Days", he will be mad at her because she is trying to smoke and run after him before he tells Carver. The next morning, she takes Rebecca, Nick (Determinant), Sarah and Jane to the bathroom and tells the others that Troy will take them to their chores.

Tavia is also present while Carver interrogates the group about the walkie-talkies. She is briefly seen running through the store after Clementine turned the PA System on. Later that night, after the walkers surround the compound and Carver is killed, Tavia, along with Carver's other men, are seen shooting from the roof of the store.

"Amid The Ruins"
Tavia along with other community members are seen on the roof defending Howe's Hardware from the herd. If Nick is alive, Tavia would be seen pointing her rifle to where Nick is running with Luke and is shot on the shoulder, it is possible that she was the one who responsible for the bullet, and It is unknown whether the shot was intended directly to Nick whom is seen far ahead, or it was accidental like the one that caused Carlos' death. Walkers are seen entering the store, and onto the roof cornering her, and her fellow survivors just before Clementine escapes with Jane and Rebecca.

"No Going Back"
Later on, if Clementine shoots Kenny, and returns to Howe's Hardware with Jane, and baby AJ, the building would be found empty, with only Carver's rotting corpse, the bodies of the walkers, and bloods splattered everywhere. It is unknown what happened to her, and the rest of the group.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Tavia has killed:
 * Carlos (Caused, Assumed)
 * Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people.

William Carver
"Bill? You there?"

- Tavia asking for Carver over the radio.

Little is known about the relationship between Tavia and Carver, however, it can be assumed that Tavia and Carver have a stable relationship, as Carver holds enough trust in Tavia to allow her to be a main member of Carver's group.

Bonnie
"Go on inside. Bonnie's waiting."

- Tavia to Clementine about Bonnie.

Bonnie and Tavia seem to have stable relationship, although Bonnie shows disagreement towards her when she criticizes the sweater she found for Clementine.

Troy
"The loading bay door is jacked. Troy really knocked the shit out of it."

- Tavia to Carver over the radio about Troy.

Little is known about the relationship between Tavia and Troy, however it can be assumed that Tavia and Troy had a stable relationship as they are both members of Carver's group. However, Tavia does show some annoyance at Troy for damaging the door to the compound.

Hank
"I know what you mean. You figure we'd be used to it by now."

- Tavia to Hank over the radio about walkers.

Tavia and Hank rarely interact, but they are assumed to have a stable relationship. When the two are seen talking over a walkie-talkie, they appear to have a general conversation that isn't solely focused on work, showing they hold a stable relationship.

Vince
"You can't be smoking back here."

- Vince to Tavia about her smoking.

At first, Vince didn't trust Tavia and suspected her when she arrived at their campsite, saying that they can join her community. If Vince shot Danny's foot, he eventually trusts her and urged the group to come with him, saying that they could use some good food and water. If Vince shot Justin's foot, he will refuse to go with her and tells the group they have to stick together until the end. In the episode "In Harm's Way", Tavia and Vince seem to have stable relationship, however Vince criticized her for smoking and went to tell Carver.
