Fan Casting Andrea in HBO's The Walking Dead

Andrea is a tough and very skilled woman, being very talented with firearms, and becoming one of the group's key defenders because of that. Once the Atlanta camp fell and she was faced with the death of her sister, she formed a relationship with Dale, who both later adopted Ben and Billy after their father's death. After the deaths of Ben, Billy, and later Dale, she mourned and moved on, forming a romantic relationship with Rick, and becoming a mother figure to his son, Carl. Andrea values her friends, family and comrades. She was ready to sacrifice herself for the sake of the others, which she did at the end after defeating the Whisperers. Andrea passed away peacefully, saying goodbye to everyone she knew. After Andrea's death, Rick and Carl would always remember her, and years later Carl would name his daughter Andrea, in memory of his adoptive mother.
