Willy is a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. He is a lookout for the Boarding School.
Overview
Willy is a troubled, immature, but generally friendly kid with a puckish sense of humor. He tends to act impulsively, such as punching Aasim and shoving Tennessee. He is shown to be lacking self-awareness, such as when he stares at Clementine for an uncomfortable amount of time and tells the group he was sent to the school for "chronic masturbation". Despite this, he tries his best to contribute and help the group in any way. He comes up with the plan to use Mitch's bombs to blow up the Delta's boat, which would eventually succeed.
Pre-Apocalypse
Mid-Atlantic United States
Willy was born in 1999. It is unknown where Willy lived before being sent to Ericson's Boarding School; however, he claims to have been sent there for "chronic masturbation". Due to the fact that he would have been at most five years old when he was sent to Ericson's, it is unclear whether he was joking or not.
Post-Apocalypse
During the early days of the outbreak, the teachers at the school left Willy along with the rest of the children to fend for themselves. Willy was often looked after by Mitch, and they soon became close friends.
The Final Season
"Done Running"
Willy is first encountered by Clementine while Marlon is giving her a tour around the school. He is visibly both fascinated and shocked at the presence of Clementine, staring at her until she either asks him to stop, greets him, or threatens him. Either way, he ends up running away nervously. Later on, he calls Marlon to the gate, alerting him about the walkers.
In the evening, Willy is seen relaxing with Mitch. When Clementine and AJ speak to them, depending on Clementine's response to AJ swearing earlier, Willy will either laugh at Mitch being corrected by AJ for swearing or think AJ is hilarious by repeating what Mitch said.
He is last seen among the rest of the group during the standoff between Clementine and Marlon. He remains mostly silent during the entirety of it; however, he does blurt out about how the situation is "fucked up".
"Suffer The Children"
Willy is first seen in flashbacks depicting Marlon's death. Then, he is seen at Marlon and Brody's funeral. As a result of AJ shooting Marlon, he is visibly angry at both AJ and Clementine, and it can be assumed that he voted against them staying. He is later seen on guard duty and impulsively fires an arrow at James , confusing him with an actual walker, though he misses.
Later on, Willy is seen arguing with Aasim about setting up traps for the upcoming Delta raid. Aasim is heard insulting Willy for proposing the idea of using log traps to defend against the raiders, while Aasim claims they should use duffel bags filled with bricks. Eventually, Clementine will need to make a decision on which trap is more practical. Either way, Willy will lose his temper with Aasim and end up punching him in the abdomen before rushing off.
He is then seen being greeted by Aasim after Louis' game of truth or dare. He is asked by Aasim if he would like to help set up the whichever trap Clementine agreed on, to which Willy agrees, and they make up.
Willy is lastly seen toward the end of the episode, moving stealthily along with Mitch during the Delta raid. After Mitch is suddenly killed by Lilly, he is clearly upset and can later be seen mourning over his body. As the Delta soldiers flee, Willy joins Clementine in firing after them with his bow. As a herd swarms the school, Willy uses a rock to bash in the head of one of the walkers that's pinned down. The kids then all turn their attention to a badly injured and captured Abel for information on where their friends were taken.
"Broken Toys"
Willy has a much larger role in this episode. The morning after the events of "Suffer The Children", a distraught Willy is seen mourning over Mitch's body while Ruby digs a hole to bury him in. Tenn offers to help Willy carry Mitch to his grave, but Willy shoves him down in anger. An enraged Willy yells at Tenn, claiming he is responsible for Mitch's death by ruining the plan. Hurt, Tenn runs off in guilt.
He is later seen walking to the Delta's boat docked in the river outside the safe zone along with Clementine, AJ, and Louis/Violet (Determinant). He expresses his frustration against Tenn and is threatened by AJ. The group set up in some brush near the riverbank and plot the search and rescue of Aasim, Omar, and Louis/Violet (Determinant). Clementine can visit Willy to see if he has gotten any ideas, to which Willy will say they can release the raft holding the raiders' supplies down the river as a distraction. AJ later speaks to Clem about Willy, claiming he wanted to punch Willy in the face for saying what he did about Tenn.
Willy is later seen in the headmaster's office, showing Clementine a collection of books on ships he had been reading. He proposes a plan to use one of Mitch's bombs to blow up the boiler room of the Delta's ship in order to prevent them from returning. He then confesses his guilt for lashing out at Tenn for Mitch's death, and is told by Clementine to apologize directly to him.
He follows Clementine down to Ruby's scheduled party, where he approaches Tenn with the homemade bomb and they make up. Clementine mingles with them soon after, where Willy suggests they give the bomb a name. Clementine can optionally give the bomb a selection of possible names, one of which is "Willy Junior". The group then gets together to play a game, where Willy jokingly claims he was sent to Ericson's for "chronic masturbation", to which the group sits in an awkward silence.
Willy is lastly seen later that night, when the group sets out to rescue the captured students. Upon seeing James, he is fascinated by his face mask, calling it "cool" and asking if he could try it on. Once Clementine begins the operation, Willy does his part by sending himself along with the raft carrying their supplies down the river. A raider notices and chases him down, allowing Clementine, AJ, and Louis/Violet to progress down the pier. It is unknown what happens to Willy for the remainder of the episode.
"Take Us Back"
Willy appears near the wreck of the Delta's ship, defending Ruby from walkers. When Sullene spots him, she orders Gina to open fire on him. Willy takes cover beside the carriage. After Minerva sets off a grenade, the horse carrying the carriage panics and runs off with Willy and the rest of the group, besides Clementine, AJ, and Tenn.
He is lastly seen toward the end of the episode, dining at the picnic table with the others. He tries to amuse the group by shooting a piece of food at Omar. Omar stares Willy down before breaking out in laughter. If AJ burps (Determinant), Willy will laugh hysterically.

The Final Season"Aasim! Mitch! Check it out! Food! (…) You're our savior, Clem." "You didn't even like Brody! You were always mean to her." "Talk about what? He murdered our friend!" "Hey. (…) Yeah, I got some ideas/Um, yeah. It's pretty heavy. (…) Sorry I punched you." "Mitch... I... I... At the start, I was so little, and... and Mitch looked after me. People said he was a dick sometimes, but he was always nice to me. And now, now he's gone. Stabbed in the eye by some asshole who never even knew his name. "If Mitch were here, he wouldn't cry. He'd find a way to get our friends back. Then he'd bash Lilly's brains out with a rock. "Get away from him! You're the reason he's dead! (…) Well, it's true! We had a plan and that idiot messed it up! (…) I can't believe you're defending him! This... this is bullshit!" "Yeah, if Tenn doesn't fuck it up this time. (…) Yes, it was! Mitch died because he--" "Hey, Clem! Check it out, I found a bunch of books on ships. There's some awesome stuff about fires at sea and explosions and stuff. The key is the boiler. (…) I have an idea about how to stop those assholes coming back to the school after we've rescued the others. And from hurting anyone else ever again. We're gonna blow up the boat. It's the only way to make sure they don't come back. Besides, it feels right. You know...for Mitch." "And, uh, Clem. I'm sorry for before. About how I treated Tenn. I didn't mean to get so angry. I know it's not his fault." "You guys want to know why I got sent here? (…) Chronic masturbation. "So. Cool! How do you get the skin like that? (…) Can I try it on? (…) Come on, please? (…) But I just want to-- (…) Yeah. Right... sorry. I didn't mean to be weird or anything. Oh, and sorry I tried to shoot you that one time. Your mask looks so real." "Seconds, please!" |
