Lie face down on the ground and put your hands behind your head! Or we'll cut your balls off!
―Tara threatening Paul Monroe[src]

Tara is a character and an antagonist first encountered in Issue 104 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is is one of the original members of the Saviors. Unlike most of the female Saviors who became Negan's wives, Tara decided to join his army. During Volume 27: The Whisperer War, she is convinced to join Sherry's rebellion against the other survivors.

Personality

Tara is a vicious and volatile woman with a quick temper. She is highly aggressive and responds to conflict with violence and threats. Despite this, she also knows when to be pragmatic, as she attempted to retrieve Vincent's horse to prevent any potential conflict with the other communities.

Pre-Apocalypse

Location Unknown

Nothing is known about Tara's life before the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse

Here's Negan

Tara is seen in Part 11 of Here's Negan talking to Sherry when Negan and Dwight arrive to camp. Negan calls her name in when escaping the shopping mall confirming that it's her.

What Comes After

Tara is first seen with John, attempting to capture Paul Monroe. Tara confronts Jesus, threatening to cut off his testicles while brandishing her knife. Paul kicks Tara, John, and another Savior down, but she manages to whack Paul on the back of the head with her knife, knocking him down. Tara is about to kill Paul when Dwight intervenes, stating that Negan wishes to question him.

No Turning Back

As Dwight takes his leave from the community, members of the Saviors make remarks as he packs. Tara is seen along with Mark and Sherry where she comments that the group is better off without him, unhappy with his decision to leave.

The Whisperer War

When Vincent arrives at the Sanctuary to ask for aid against the Whisperers, Tara threatens him and refuses to help. Sherry later asks Tara to go and find Vincent before he is able to arrive back at Alexandria. Tara attempted to find Vincent, but he had already been found by Heath. Heath tells Tara to leave after she refuses to assist in defending against the Whisperers.
