Clem probably most likely won't die physically, but instead more so spiritually die....(possibly).
Perhaps if before the season finale everyone that has survived with her to a point ends up dead and without anyone's death being ambiguous and the characters are truly all dead this time. Sort of hence the title "Amid The Ruins" Amid-means to be surrounded by something or among it, and in this case "ruins" or destruction and devastation. And at this point in the game it could just be Clem and Rebecca's baby with Clementine being sort of forced to look after Rebecca's baby the best an 11 year girl can and knows how since she's not old enough to even think about being a mother in spite of being very intelligent for her age and Clem and the newborn end up together for awhile alone. Until heaven forbid something happens to the baby as well and she's actually to blame for that and she realizes it, with that being the final straw that breaks her mentally emotionally and physically. because at the beginning in the first episode she tells Luke with sorrow that people die because of her. Like with Lee and Omid she was referring to. And in the second episode she tells Kenny or at least it is an option for her to say to him that she got Lee killed. I think the game also took note about (Luke remembering that) after Clementine tells him that at the dinner table. Could all her self guilt over the past couple years be a build up to something that might set her off mentally? To a point of no return? "No Going Back"? I tend to believe that the final episode has to have some sort of meaning to it. And it might be some transformation Clem will go through besides becoming a walker like Lee did last season. Like when Luke asks Clementine in the second episode by the bridge "Are you crazy?" Clementine responds "Maybe I am". And when on the bridge Luke says something about how Matthew would not shoot a little girl and Clementine makes a remark saying " Why not? I'd shoot me". Why would she say that unless she felt herself to be a possible threat to others lives? Psychologically Clementine may not be what everyone thinks she is, especially after all the emotional hell and psychological trauma she has seen and the mean writers of Tell-Tale have put her through. If she went insane I couldn't blame her. Look at the kinds of fits of rage Kenny and Lilly displayed for going through similar or less than Clementine. And Clementine is only a child, How is it a child can keep from breaking down and remain much calmer while the grown ups loose their cool time and again throughout this series? She's tough but not tough as Lee, Rick or even Michonne. Maybe we will see a side of Clementine that has never been witnessed before at the end I'm guessing. And we could see more hardened and cold she has become in season 3. Because I seriously don't think they would kill off Clem as she is the heart of these games they are doing ever since the beginning all this time. I know they pulled it off perfectly with Lee but killing Clementine would be like.....be like ....killing Rick, unless you have an equally interesting character developed enough. To take over and continue the story through them.

TTG wobt kill her cause they cant make a better or similar charakter
That would be a really crappy direction which I truly hope they don't take. If that were to happen then we'll be playing Season 3 with a completely different Clementine who we don't know, it's basically the same as killing her off and giving us a new character.
I hope not, but I can't really see any other direction for things to go. The events of the pre-time skip period clearly left a mark on her and the writers have wasted no time in piling fresh, new trauma and guilt on the poor girl. Personality, I'd rather she break down than continue to harden until Clem as we know it is dead.
She can't keep her innocence forever sadly, I have a feeling Episode 4 will be the episode where we see a drastic change of character from whom we know now.
Yeah I see what you mean, I think this is the most likely direction the creators will take her character. She may go from the sweet, innocent adorable clem we knew and grew to love from day one into something completely the opposite towards the end, due to the after effects of all the events that have changed her and molded her into whatever she will become. She may even become harder and colder than Carl or Michonne was. eventually by the time TellTale is through with her. A fate Which most likely won't be for the better much, after all this is The Walking Dead we are talking about here, where the most unfortunate and worst pessimistic outcomes can be expected.
Shouldn't you change your title to a less spoilery one?
I just edited it, to warn of spoilers.
Well done, man
The creators might want to take her character down a certain path but we are the ones who are controlling Clementine and it will upto us to ultimatly define her personality and how cold or hard she might become, I personally will try and make her keep her humanity and try not let the bad things she has experanced turn her into another Carl or Michonne.
Decent theory. I really hate how people bring up the whole conversation w/ Luke on the bridge as being negative though. It was supposed to be a joke. I really don't get how people do not understand that. Did no one honestly laugh..? Same thing for when Luke asks Clem if shes crazy and she responds "Maybe I am". It was a joke. The whole situation was comical (if you have Clem insist on taking on the large walker instead of the small one just before crossing the bridge).
Its possible that she could psychologically crumble, but we haven't seen any evidence of that yet.
Oh that's a lot to read.
Nod and agree
Definitely true, I completely forgot about that! Taking Clem's personality out of the player's hands wouldn't exactly make sense. At the same time, she has to change somehow...
Playing Clem as a pint-sized sociopath can be fun, being forced to play that way would kind of suck.
Who says shes still has her innocence anyway? I really don't think she does at this point. She has matured past that.
She still has some innocence. She's pretty monotone and worn down, but she's still got some empathy.
Yup, exactly what I was going to say. She has some of it left, it's not completely torn away. Though I think this Season will be the one where she completely loses it, and by Season Three she will have evolved into someone different.
Obviously people will be annoyed about this, but realistically, it's impossible for Clem to stay innocent forever.
There's a difference between innocence and empathy. You can outgrow your innocence and still be a great person..
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/innocence
Innocence (as we're using it here): "Lack of experience with the world and with the bad things that can happen in life."
I really don't think Clem fits that definition at all.
nods
If the OP is saying what i think he's saying (or she), then do you mean like the end of the walking dead rise of the governor? (if you've read that book OP)
No I haven't read that book, but I have heard of it before. I may check it out if it is worth it.
If clems new group dies i dont think she could trust anyone else. How many people can you lose before you crack?
As bad as it sounds, you might just get used to it after awhile.
