The defining moment....

Hey guys!!
I was wondering what you all would think the one defining moment for your Clementine is... across seasons 1, 2, and A New Frontier!
For me, I think it'd have to be when Lee taught her how to use a gun on the train. I think back to that scene a lot whenever I play.
What do you guys think?

I think defining moments were losing her people (Lee and for me Kenny with staying at Wellington, but Kenny in general). I think those two losses weigh the most on her, since these two men are the ones that were there from the very start (in terms of the game S1E1).
I'd say the scene where she saves Lee's life by giving him a hammer to help kill the babysitter walker attacking him from the very beginning of the series.
She had only known Lee for a minute or two, and yet she had already risked her life to save a stranger from a walker while she was only eight years old.
For me is Clem teaching Sarah to how to defend herself and I'm still upset it didn't affect anything.
Shooting Lee before he turned.....the moment she realized the true horror of the world.
Every single moment Clementine is on my screen is a defining moment.
Amen to that.
Shooting Lee i mean she was so young and had to see her parents as walkers and then she finds out it Lee was bit then she put him down
so sad.
It's impossible for me to choose only one.
Probably letting Jane die (and saving Kenny) or shooting Lee - but i mean... does it change anything?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Shooting Lee/Leaving him
or the Kenny endings/Jane showdown, since it decided how the next 2 years of her life would play out
S1's ending the last talk with Lee
Ah, tough, shooting Lee was a huge moment and definitely a big moment for her. I think I gotta go with the end of season 2. The choices she made in episode 5 were a huge step as far as taking control of her fate and relying less on others to make choices for her(Luke on the lake, Kenny/Jane fight and subsequent choices.)
Watching Lilly kill Carley right in front of her. Seeing someone she considered a friend who had given her something as innocent as "hair thingies" just do something horrible. I guess that was the moment she really saw what the new word in the Zombie Apocalypse did to people.
Lee saying "I'll miss you" as he was dying, and Clem replying "Me too".
That exchange broke me, I was already in tears but after that I was a complete wreck, I had nothing left. 5 years later just thinking about it can get me a little misty.
Or Lee and Clem talking about the Salt Lick, that was great too.
Pretty much
The last ten minutes of No Time Left. Killing her (determinant) first walker, shooting or leaving the man who's been watching over for 3 months since her parents died, etc. She went through absolute hell in just a couple days, and then turns into a hardened badass.
Leaving Wellington behind in order to stay with Kenny
I really liked her talk with Ava in the Episode 4 flashback...
What if they're asking us what's her most defining moment because she's about to die...?
First thing that came to mind was stitching herself up in the shed. But there are a bunch of moments. Lee teaching her to shoot. Her shooting Lee. Reuniting with Kenny.
shooting Lee
shooting Kenny
Hard to pick between them for me. For some reason I can't help but think there's a reason telltales asking this.
The one that sticks out to me is the scene in S1E3 where Lee is fending off a couple of walkers and afterwards she holds a gun, shaking, not knowing whether to fire, it's a nice moment that shows Clem struggling to come to terms with the fact that she might have to get blood on her hands in the apocalypse.
Just keep your terrible ideas to yourself please... Great now im really worried, thanks alot.
SORRY FOR SPAM

I couldn't do one but I've just got three..
One that comes to mind is the moments leading up to Lee's death, and he's trying to teach Clementine ways to survive in his last breaths. Then seeing Clem take out that walker with the baseball bat. It was a really iconic moment for her, and the scene really prepared her with the skills she needed to survive in the world currently.

The second is in that S2 flashback with Lee where they have that exchange; 'I'm scared Lee' 'What can I tell you to make it better?' 'That you won't leave me'. That with 'Alive Inside' playing in the background destroyed me.
It really reminded me of that emotional scene in The Lion King, after Mufasa saves Simba from the hyena's and tries to teach him a lesson.
Telling Kenny that she and AJ love him. My Clem is all about family.
There's been so many moments that defined Clem, but I still have to go with the end of Season 1 where she shoots Lee. That moment will always be number 1 for me.
Other defining moments for me are:
There's a reason for them asking this. Hopefully it isn't prepping us for her death.
When she cut her hair, I felt it was her first step to adjusting to the apocalypse, and how she couldn't be a little girl anymore.
Season 2 episode 1, she's just gotten out of the river to escape the bandits, she's cold, she has nowhere to go, but she keeps moving forward, even though she's only an 11 year old girl, she transcends her age, but for a moment showing true perservereance in this fucked up world.
What Lee says to Clem at the end of season 1 after she kills the walker with the baseball bat.
Lee: "You're strong Clem. You can do anything."
Clem: "But... I'm little."
Lee: "Doesn't mean nothing. You're going to see bad stuff but... It's okay."
The defining moment for Clementine was definitely either leaving or shooting Lee. By that point she had seen horrible things but she always had her caretaker and idol Lee to see her through it every step of the way. Seeing her parents dead after fighting to be reunited with them was crushing to Clementine, but even in that moment she still had her one constant light, Lee Everett. Him dying, the manner in which it happened doesn't matter, shattered her reality, and her eyes were finally opened to the world she lives in. Lee's death effectively made her who she is today, for better or for worse.
No joke, the only thing that would make me ditch Telltale completely is if they decide to kill her off. That includes making her determinant.
Lets hope to god TT isn't that stupid.
Oh fuck you (sarcasm), now I'm fucking worried.
You mean because THAT defining moment could be her last flashback, in her dying moment?
Maybe it's both Lee and Kenny standing over her, telling her it's time to come home.
I don't know if this is a defining moment but it's what always sticks with me ever since it happened. Ava making Clem promise to never lose that light. I loved that.
Ooh, now I'm suspicious as to why Telltale is asking this... Maybe for a flashback? Or as DLB said... to kill her off...
I pick just one, so I'll list a couple.
There's only very few good scenes with Clementine in S3, all of which being in episode 4. Besides the "One who wouldn't die" part in episode 3, I liked that.
tfw telltale innocently asks about ur favorite moment with clem
Distrust much.
I'm surprised nobody said Omid's death. Clem has never been the same after that.
It's for the montage for her wedding with Gabe...
