"Gamma" (real name unknown) is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She is the sister of Frances and the aunt of Adam Sutton. After saving Alpha's life to prove her loyalty, she becomes the third-in-command of the Whisperers.
Overview
Gamma is a loyal follower of Alpha, believing in her leadership and the group's animalistic way of life.[1]
Pre-Apocalypse
Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Gamma's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she had a sister named Frances.
Post-Apocalypse
At some point following the outbreak, Gamma and her sister found and joined a large group of primitive survivors known as the Whisperers. She and her sister became adept at sniffing out locations for the dead and assisted the group in accumulating their many herds. At least 8 years into the apocalypse, her sister gave birth to a baby boy though she would eventually be forced to abandon him on Alpha's orders.
Season 10
"We Are the End of the World"
Gamma and Frances accompany Beta to collect more walkers for their herds under Alpha's orders. While luring the walkers, Gamma notices Frances looking at the sun and acting odd. She tells her sister to focus and not jeopardize their place among the Whisperers. When they are corralling the herd on a field, Frances starts crying and causes some walkers to try to attack her. Beta kills them and says she will pay for this.
At their camp, Gamma watches as Beta throws Frances to the ground and orders a Whisperer to kill her. As she starts screaming that her son is in a better place, Alpha demands they leave her alone. Later, Gamma listens as her sister screams when she is forced to talk with Alpha. Then, as Frances goes back to her sister, a Whisperer questions whether they should go back to the other communities, but Gamma pulls her sister away. At night, Frances tells her sister about Alpha showing mercy and how it felt to talk with her. Gamma says she should forget about her son like how Alpha sacrificed her daughter for the pack. She also hopes Frances starts behaving better.
The next day, Gamma follows Alpha as she leads a group of Whisperers to a field to gather more walkers. Suddenly, a satellite crashes through the sky and the herd starts to scatter. When Gamma witnesses Frances attacking Alpha, she runs to save Alpha and pushes her sister to the ground to be devoured.
At their camp, Alpha questions Gamma on whether or not she regrets letting her sister die. She confesses she will always be loyal to Alpha. She is then sent away. That night, Alpha anoints her "Gamma" and the group praises her. The next day, Gamma questions Beta's feelings about her. They both claim to be empty as Alpha wants.
"Ghosts"
Gamma is sent on Alpha's orders to Alexandria to inform Daryl and Michonne to go to the north border, lay down their weapons, and wait for Alpha that night. Michonne asks her to call off her walkers but Gamma swears they're not theirs. She then instructs them again to go wait for Alpha at the border that night and leaves.

Relationships
Frances
Frances and Gamma had a poor relationship. Following the outbreak and joining the Whisperers, Gamma decided to put her loyalty fully towards Alpha and the group rather than her own sister and showed no remorse for her having to abandon her own child on Alpha's orders. She later expressed disgust and annoyance for Frances showing regret for abandoning her son and even claimed she should have left her for dead when she had the chance. Despite this she appeared pleased when Frances apparently renounced her feelings of regret though she did hesitate to feed her alive to the Walkers after she attacked Alpha to kill her as revenge for making her leave her son for dead. Although Gamma says that her death was necessary and she feels nothing for having done it, she still sheds a single tear. She likely completely gets over it quickly.
Adam Sutton
It is evident that Gamma does not care at all for her infant nephew as she showed no apparent remorse for her sister having to abandon her child to be eaten alive by the Walkers and was angered that her remorse over the deed distracted her and posed a threat to their place in the group. Gamma even killed her own sister following her attempt to kill Alpha for making her abandon Adam.
"Alpha"
Gamma is shown to be fiercely loyal to Alpha and fully committed to the Whisperer way of life. Alpha likewise appears to respect Gamma for her ability to sniff out key locations for walkers and views her as a valuable member of the group.
After saving Alpha's life in "We Are the End of the World" when her own sister attempts to kill Alpha as revenge for making her abandon her infant son, (to which Gamma pushes her to be devoured by walkers) Alpha is impressed at her dedication to the group and her desire to protect her leader and for her remorselessness over killing her own sister. As a reward for her actions, Alpha personally gives Gamma her title and makes her the group's third-in-command.
"Beta"
Beta does not appear to be very fond of Gamma due to her sister Frances almost causing Whisperers to be killed and later appears disgusted that Alpha appoints her as the group's third-in-command and sees it as her way of coping with her abandonment of Lydia. Despite this Beta respect's Alpha's decision nonetheless, though he claims to have no feelings towards Gamma.
