Tammy Rose (née unknown) is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is a resident of the Hilltop Colony, alongside her husband and son.
Overview[]
Tammy could often be very short-tempered and aggressive, which causes her to not think rationally. After her son and his friend are badly beaten by Carl, she becomes furious with him despite numerous claims that it was her own son who was the one who attacked first. She can be extremely loud and vulgar, frequently leading to loud arguments, such as with Maggie. However, Tammy isn't completely heartless, as she later apologizes to Maggie for her short-temper and seems well-aware of her anger issues. For all her faults, she does genuinely care for her family.

Whispers Into Screams[]
When Carl Grimes defended Sophia and himself from the bullies that previously attacked Brian because of his looks, Tammy immediately showed up at the infirmary, carrying her son and his friend's bodies on a blanket. She then threatened Carl and Maggie Greene, the leader of the Hilltop, along with her husband, Morton, saying that the boy should be locked up because of his attack. Although Carl insists it was an act of self-defense, Tammy keeps arguing with Maggie. She finally convinces her of giving Carl some sort of punishment. After that, Maggie sends her and her husband to their trailer.
She is then seen sitting on a dinner table inside the trailer with her husband and the Harlan family. They discuss Maggie's power, and how no one voted or had an opinion on her new occupation; implying that she just began to yell out orders. When they start thinking about a way of ending her "reckless" power, Gregory suggests they kill her.
Tammy is later seen at the infirmary, profaning and demanding where Maggie is. The latter appears in the medical facility, and Tammy complains that she saw Carl free. Maggie says that she will punish him but won't lock him up. Tammy replicates once again, and Maggie then threatens to relocate her, to which Tammy replies that she's lived in the Hilltop longer than her. Gregory intervenes and breaks up the fight, before he tells Tammy and the other parents to just calm down and take their boys home.

Whispers Into Screams"Carl Grimes tried to murder our sons! He beat 'em both with a shovel! Wouldn't stop! He was beating them to death! HE'S A MONSTER!" "It was Sophia attacking them! They were just defending themselves. She'd done it before... they were scared of her. Your daughter is our of control." "The first thing that happened was your fucking daughter attacking my son a couple days ago. Little bitch brought it on herself." "Maggie and that boy's family... they survived together. You've heard the stories. (…) I'm saying she cares more about that kid than any of us... or our kids. No way she's going to choose us over him, no matter what he did." "Where is she?! WHERE IS THAT FUCKING BITCH?! (…) My husband saw Carl-- he's out! Free and clear! You lied to us! (…) What the hell does that mean? Are you fucking joking? Is that a joke?! You can't be fucking serious! (…) Relocation?! This is my fucking home! I've lived here longer than you, you fucking c*nt!" Life And Death"It was Gregory! It was all his idea. He's the one that brought it up. I know we should have come to you, warned you-- but we were scared of him. If he could kill you-- what would he do to us? (…) I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Maggie!" "I was angry. My son was hurt, you were acting like it was his fault. I thought I was going to lose him. So... I wouldn't have been upset if you'd died. That sounds awful. No. What I mean to say is in the moment, as angry as I was... I just wasn't thinking straight. I get that way. Always had a temper." "Well... Gregory can be really persuasive." |
