RILEY WILLIAMS //.. Nico Parker
seasons 3-6A

"Tyreese used to tell me that the only way you could be loved by God is if you were pure, but I've sinned— I've killed, I've lied, I've done the very worst of sins. Meaning I am a sinner, and God does not love me."

RILEY WILLIAMS //.. Jasmin Savoy Brown
seasons 6B-11

"We all know that isn't fair. He took them! You don't know what it was like for him to take them both. It wasn't your decision."

SPOILERS

Spoilers for TWD seasons 3-11

The only character I own is Riley, all other characters belong to TWD

TWS

— Coarse language, violence, gore, HEAVY religious imagery, religion ruining a family bond/bonds in general, religious trauma, talking badly of religion/uplifting religion above others needs, pedophilia, and anything else twd has to offer you

LATER CHAPTERS
— The whisperers are going to be a religious cannibalistic cult that is in a grander community. Think Lottie Matthews and Alpha were best friends and started a little sleep away camp for other little psychos (and it will make them A LOT more creepy)

— The story begins as Riley, Sasha, and Tyreese find the prison.

FINAL NOTES

— Riley is going to be flawed, that includes sometimes making decisions that are risky or too safe. She may say something out of pocket. She is a child and flaws create different sides to every story. she is literally a child growing up in the apocalypse cut her some slack 🙏
