Full Name: Charlotte Ferguson
Age: 44
Gender: Female
Relationships: Jesse was her son
Occupation: Unemployed
Biography offered by user: She is very closed minded and self-centred. She dislikes her son, Jesse, for his sexuality (a homosexual). However, she has an internal struggle revolving her son and her relationship.
User: survivorken23
Introduction episode: Season 1, Episode 1
Final episode: Season 1, Episode 7
Episodes lasted: 7
Time survived: 48 hours
Character’s she has killed: No one directly. Although, her re-animation has caused uprising within the Hughes household which could result in lethal effects.
Cause of death: Bite from an unknown walker. Was killed by the bite/fever. Her re-animated self was murdered by Josh Hughes with a screwdriver.
Best quotes: “I didn’t mean it,”-S01E01. She spoke this line after rejecting her son’s phone call and breaking her phone in the process. It reflect her internal battle with her son, and how she did want to change. This was sentimentally reinforced by her saying, “I love you no matter what,”-S01E03.
Best moment: Her death scene(s), as seen below.
Death scene: Blood unexpectedly squirts from her shoulder as a strange man rips the flesh from it. Charlotte’s drunk personality instantly shakes off and a single tear rolls down her eyes as she scream her heart out in the utmost pain.
----
Charlotte’s fingers twitch in Jesse hand, gently. Her other hand also moves swiftly in discomfort. Jesse’s anger fades and his tears holt for a single moment. Everyone in the room stares at Charlotte. Her eyes burst open and her body is vigorously thrown by some force unnatural force onto her son, Jesse. Her limbs have minds of their own, grasping at clamping at Jesse face.
----
All of a sudden, a screwdriver drops into her skull from above, piercing her eyeball. Her aggression stops immediately. Charlotte’s limbs relax onto the carpet. Colby rolls off onto his back, pulling his hands to his face in stress, flooding his face with steamy blood. Josh stand above him, the one who murdered Charlotte.
Perception by audience:
• “I'm not counting Charlotte because she was already bitten.”
• “She was pretty forgettable.”
• “I am not sad about her dying. I never cared much for Charlotte, so her dying does not in any way affect me.”
• “How is she still not a walker yet?”
• “she did have her moments but its very early on and I wasn't really as attached as some were.”
It is safe to say she was not an audience favourite, most likely due to her short scenes and early death. There was not enough room for attachment. Also, because of her anger issues towards her son, this created a negative first impression.
Author's reason for killing her: Simply because the user who submitted this character was not active and wanted to make room for active users' characters.
Please add anything in the comments you would like to contribute to the first death in the walking dead, but DEFINETLY not the last!

Reading this actually made me more emotional towards her death LMAO. Still, as you said, first death but definitely not the last.
TheStan I didn't intend her death to be too emotional. It was more to get the ball rolling, although I did want some people to think 'actually, anyone to die is a loss', hence this tribute XD and im glad it influenced you. But despite this, i will do a tribute for every character.
Also, a main reason I did not kill off characters for so long was because:
1. I wanted enough time for each character to have some highlighted moments.
2. Because I wanted the characters to 'mix' before one died. I was originally gonna have Charlotte die in episode 3, but then literally, the only person who would have known would have been Jesse. Her death would have been practically meaningless and would not have really developed the plot in anyway. Every death I do in this blog series, I want to be at the right place, at the right time, for the right cause. So that means, FOR EXAMPLE, if Aria's right time to die was next episode, I would kill her, despite her being possibly the most favoured character. I believe that killing favourite characters gives the story power.
Anywho, great tribute! :) It didn't make me feel for Charlotte anymore than I already did, which was probably about zero, but this DOES provide a taste of what's to come once a character I like more ends up getting the ax, and I think that's what we need to prepare for as this blog series continues to grow. So in a sense, killing someone off like Charlotte first for a major death makes about the most sense out of anything.
