Tara is a character and a former antagonist first encountered in Issue 104 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is one of the original members of the Saviors. Unlike most of the female Saviors who became workers or 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. It's possible she lived in or near Virginia.
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.
A Certain Doom
TBA
Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Tara has killed:
- Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people
Relationships
Dwight
Tara has some respect for Dwight's authority, as demonstrated when Dwight stopped Tara from killing Paul Monroe and she didn't question his order. However, after the fall of Negan, Dwight struggles with being the leader and ultimately decides to leave, causing Tara to lose respect for him.
Sherry
Tara appears to be a highly trusted confidant of Sherry. In Issue 161, it also becomes evident that Tara and Sherry appear to have a close, possibly intimate relationship.
John
Tara and John have a good relationship. Tara respects his leadership of the Saviors, after he takes over following Sherry's death.
