You don't have to fill his cup up anymore, baby. Grandpa's... sleeping.
―Mrs. García to Mariana about Salvador.[src]

Mrs. García (first name and née unknown) is a character in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. She is the wife of Salvador and mother of David and Javier.

Overview

Mrs. García is a somewhat strict, but loving woman. She does seem to be quite feisty, such as slapping Javier on the face and Salvador choosing to not tell her of his cancer so he can, "get her off his ass". Despite this, Mrs. García greatly cares for her family and is heartbroken when Salvador dies. However, when Salvador reanimates into a walker, due to it being early in the outbreak, she and her family are oblivious to what's going on, and Mrs. García believes Salvador is just confused. This allows Salvador to bite Mrs. García on the cheek, sealing her fate.

Pre-Apocalypse

Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Little is known about Mrs. García's life prior to or as the outbreak began. She had a husband, a brother-in-law, two sons, a daughter-in-law, an ex-daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren.

Post-Apocalypse

A New Frontier

"Ties That Bind - Part 1"

During the early stages of the outbreak, her husband died in their house from cancer while her whole family (minus Javier) was present to witness his passing. Javier only arrives as Hector and his son were comforting her. Mrs. García was furious at Javier and slaps him for not being there for his father during his final moments, then hugged him in her grief. When Mariana goes upstairs to refill Salvador's cup, Mrs. García, wracked with sobs, tells her that she no longer has to refill his cup. Mariana startlingly tells her that her grandfather was awake.

Confused, everyone follows Mariana to discover Salvador standing in his bedroom. Hector approaches him after pushing Mariana away, only to be attacked by his reanimated brother. Javier and David try to restrain their father when Salvador's wife storms in and asks what was happening. David tells her that Salvador had just attacked without warning. Mrs. García tries to comfort her husband, but gets bitten in the process. Stunned, she backs away into the arms of Javier and Kate and watches in shock as Salvador attacks David. Javier breaks a part of Salvador's bed frame and strikes Salvador in the head with it as the children scream.

With Salvador dead, the rest of the family scrambled to get Mrs. García to the hospital, the matriarch herself being too shocked to walk herself to David's car. After Javier directed David to avoid the highways, David drove off with her as the rest of the family got into Hector's van. Years later, David confirmed to Javier that they never made it to the hospital. Their mother reanimated after succumbing to her bite given David's lack of knowledge about reanimation during the early days of the outbreak. David is assumed to have put her down before or after reanimation.

Death

Killed By

When Salvador reanimated in his bedroom and attacked his children, Mrs. García came in to find out what was happening. In the attempt of calming Salvador and reassuring him that he was among family, Salvador bit her on the cheek, stunning her. Later, while stuck in traffic with David on the way to the hospital, she succumbed to the infection and died.

It is very likely she was put down by David before or after reanimation, considering he was with her by the time of her death.
