"Hérisson" (real name unknown) is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. He is a resident at the École Maternelle Simone Veil.
Overview
Hérisson is a courageous and outspoken young man. He is shown to be a fast learner, quickly being able to use a rifle shortly after being taught by Daryl. He can also be very vengeful and suggests tossing R.J. into the moat for what he did.
Pre-Apocalypse
France
Nothing is known about Hérisson's life prior to or as the outbreak began.
Post-Apocalypse
École Maternelle Simone Veil
On Monument Day, Hérisson attended preschool at École Maternelle Simone Veil, but his parents didn't come to pick him up at the end of the day, presumably falling victim to walkers. Along with the other students whose parents never came, Hérisson remained at the school under the care of their teacher, Madame DuBois, eventually taking in some orphaned children that they came across over the years.
12 years into the outbreak, Madame DuBois became ill. At some point into Madame DuBois' six-month illness, Lou led Julien and Hérisson on a raid of the castle where the man that they dubbed La Tarasque was hoarding supplies. The raid went badly, resulting in Hérisson being captured and Julien dying, reanimating and joining the castle's walker moat. Unsure of what to tell everyone, Lou lied that Hérisson and Julien were out on a mission and would eventually return.
Season 1
"Alouette"
Hérisson is mentioned several times, including when Moof rebuffs Laurent's attempt to sit in his brother's seat and when Lou tells Daryl the truth about the previous raid on the castle prior to their own raid.
Daryl uses his makeshift rope and hook to climb the drawbridge and finds a storeroom loaded with supplies that he begins gathering. Daryl hears a voice from another room yelling at La Tarasque to be let out, and finds a teenage boy locked in a dungeon who reveals that he speaks English. Daryl realizes that it's one of the kids from the raid, and the boy introduces himself as Hérisson, which Daryl has trouble pronouncing, leading him to call the boy Hedgehog - the English translation of his name - instead.
As they try to leave, La Tarasque opens fire on them from a window. Daryl shows Hérisson how to use his rifle and orders the boy to keep La Tarasque busy while Daryl rushes inside to confront the man. In the toolshed, Lou is found and released by a hooded figure. As La Tarasque exchanges shots and insults with Hérisson, Daryl sneaks up on the man and forces him to disarm himself at knifepoint.
Daryl and Hérisson lead a horse-drawn cart full of supplies over the lowered drawbridge, dragging RJ, tied by a long rope to the back of the cart, behind them. RJ desperately continues trying to bribe an uninterested Daryl before the side of the cart falls open and several large fuel tanks roll out and into the moat. As RJ taunts them, Daryl goes to secure the remaining supplies and try to fix the damaged wheel, and he orders Hérisson to shoot RJ if he tries anything. RJ continues taunting the two, offering to help them if they let him go. RJ makes a run for Daryl's gun, and the two men struggle over it, eventually falling off the edge of the drawbridge and into the moat.
Daryl immediately draws his knife and morning star to fight the walkers, but RJ is left dangling helplessly within the herd's reach from the rope that he's still attached to. The walkers devour RJ while Daryl retrieves his rifle and shoots the fuel canisters, causing a large explosion that blows up a large number of the walkers, including the walkers gathering behind Daryl, while Daryl is protected by crouching behind the corner of the wall. Moof tosses down a rope from the top of the wall while Lou and Hérisson cover Daryl from the surviving walkers with bows. Once Daryl's tied onto the rope, Moof has the horse pull him out of the moat. Lou sarcastically asks Daryl if he's still better off by himself and notes that Daryl at least got his horse. Hérisson shows a grateful Lou that Daryl got them the medical supplies that they need too. A horrified Moof recognizes one of the walkers in the moat as his brother, Julien, and realizes that Lou had lied to him about Julien being off on a mission. Moof refuses to leave his brother like that, and an emotional Lou raises her bow, but struggles to bring herself to shoot her friend. Sympathetic, Daryl shoots Julien with his crossbow instead and saves Lou from having to put her friend down.
Daryl, Lou, Moof, and Hérisson triumphantly return to the school, where the other children celebrate the return of their lost friend. Isabelle notes that Daryl's lie worked, and Daryl quips that "well, I ain't a nun" as they watch the celebration. Sylvie comes out with the news that Madame DuBois has died of her illness, and Daryl apologetically admits to the devastated Lou that the meds were never going to help her and that he had lied to get a horse. Lou wonders what they're going to do without her, and Daryl tells the girl to keep doing what they've been doing. The other kids look up to Lou, and that's a good thing. Daryl offers to take care of putting Madame DuBois down, but Lou decides to do it herself as she owes it to the old woman. Daryl, Isabelle, and Sylvie leave Lou alone as she draws her knife and says goodbye to Madame DuBois before stabbing her in the head. The children build a memorial to their beloved teacher, and Laurent comforts Hibou, telling her that his teacher is also with the angels, and then leads the kids in doing "nanu-nanu" from Mork & Mindy.
Daryl boards the group's now horse-drawn cart, but Laurent wants to stay at the school with his new friends. Laurent reluctantly agrees to leave, complaining to Sylvie that Isabelle never listens to him and deciding to walk instead. The children see Daryl's group off as they leave and resume their journey to Paris.

Trivia
- Although Hérisson provides covering fire for Daryl with a bow and arrow, he doesn't appear to be much of an archer, visibly struggling with his bow in between shots, suggesting that it was probably Lou who took most of the walkers out.
