Lydia thanks her mother for saving her, but she replies that Lydia should call her Alpha like everybody else. The trade proceeds, with Ken and Dante returning to the Hilltop and Lydia goes back with the Whisperers. In exchange, she will give back Ken and Dante, who are unharmed. She claims to only want her daughter, Lydia. Alpha removes her mask and shows her face, claiming to mean no harm. She introduces herself along with her army to Maggie. Later, Alpha comes up behind him and aims her shotgun at him.Īlpha holds Dante at gunpoint, explaining that these are the Whisperers' lands, and his people will learn to fear them.Īlpha is then seen at the gates of the Hilltop. Based on what she said to another Whisperer, she may have fought for her place as leader several times before.Īfter Dante attacks the Whisperers who killed Doug and the other Hilltop guard, he goes to check to see how they had attacked him. Very little is known about Alpha's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she had a daughter named Lydia.Īlpha survived the initial stages of the outbreak, after which time she and her daughter either joined or formed a group of many survivors that eventually evolved to become the Whisperers.

She is highly intelligent, using her people to contain one of the largest herds ever encountered by the survivors. Later she breaks down, revealing she truly misses her daughter and hoped by giving her away she would become stronger.ĭespite that, Alpha's savageness is very evident, being almost completely remorseless, killing not just for survival but as a message towards her enemies and those who defy her. Despite this she does show care for her child, when she asked Rick to protect her after she is disowned for being weak, tearing up in secret. She emotionally and physically abused her daughter by allowing others to rape and abuse her. She gives the impression of no longer possessing any emotions or affection, as shown when she coldly rejected her own daughter's attempt to embrace her, telling her to call her "Alpha" instead of mother. She appears to take great pride in her leadership abilities and seems to enjoy the position of power. Alpha is shown to be a cunning, cruel and sociopathic woman who is a strong leader to those in her group.
