Jolenes daughter was being escorted out to the woods because she was going to be raped, near enough the same time The Stranger was hunting with his son Adam. His son Adam (equipped with a rifle) seperated himself whilst his father was distracted peeing on a tree. Adam later saved Jolenes daughter by shooting one of the bandits in the leg. Jolenes daughter ran away and Adam eventually caught up to her, the bandits were distracted by walkers who heard the gunshot.
Adam and Jolenes daughter survived but eventually found Lilly (either abandoned or with an RV). Lilly is still taking care of them to this date.
Nick knows where the fucking river is by using his trusty state of the art 'where the fuck's the river' detection system, that involves 'taking a piss on a tree' to help him locate the water source within a 10.9 mile radius. It's a brillent survival skill for the desert, although Nick tends to avoid such hot climates because that involves 'taking a piss on a cactus' and for obvious reasons he doesn't like to get too close.
This is a bit stupid, but I feel like Clementine's Mom and Carlos worked in the same hospital (Clem said she was a doctor) and they would occasionally make small talk.
All the characters in the Walking Dead heard or knew from each other in some way or another. Here's a few that I made.
* Carlos was wat… moreching TV one night whilst Sarah was in the living room reading a book, when they heard a news report conducted by Carley about Lee Everetts arrest after shortly murdering the senator. Sarah would remark how "That's horrible!" as she watched the news report.
* Shel (from 400 Days) passed Chuck whilst he was homeless and feeling pity for him, paid him some money as she passed him in the street, Becca would comment how it would be a waste of money.
* Christa and Omid would always go on road-trips, and one time as they were heading into town they drove past Clementines school whilst children were playing on the playground (including Clementine) as Omid and Christa would discuss raising a child soon.
* Uncle Pete would take Nick out during a "hunting trip" to get away from their home, more importantly… [view original content]
On a more serious note then the rest of the posts here, my main Carver head cannon is that, contrary to (seemingly) popular oppinion, he didn't rape Rebecca. When he said, "you know you loved every second of it.", he was calling Rebecca out. He thought Rebecca was acting like she had the moral high ground, and he was calling her out on it, reminding her (in the most hostile way possible), that they both agreed to their relationship.
I've got another, but this one isn't entirely my own. Gary Whitta said something to the effect of Kenny being a recovering alcoholic during a stream of "Around Every Corner" a while back, and I just can't get it out of my head, so it's become headcanon for me.
Anyways, to sum it up the headcanon is that Kenny had a drinking problem for quite a while before the apocalypse. Only a year or two before the dead rose was he able to recover from it with the help of Katjaa. He managed to stay clean from then until his family died in Episode 3, where the tiny drink Lee offers him on the train, combined with his grief for Kat and Duck, begins his drinking habits again and he falls off the wagon.

What I use for stories:
Lilly's mother didn't know she was pregnant with Lilly until she was in labor.
Omid's mom used to make him wea… morer a bag on his head when they got into fights.
Chuck lived with a group of homeless runaways - Reggie (not the same Reggie), Twig (she was very thin, so it became her nickname), Charlie (they can't have two Charlie's, so he went by Chuck), Ron, Stanley, Brenna (suicidal runaway), and Emma (who was the girl Chuck refers to while talking about a dead little girl. She was 13.) They all were a big family, but Twig and Emma caught Cholera from Reggie, all three of them died, Ron got into a fight and died from his injuries, Charlie and Brenna both committed suicide, and Stanley got hit by a car. Whoo. Long one.
I have always had this weird headcannon that Christa was adopted. I dunno why. Also, her dad was a military man in San Fran, who died during 9/11 (he was visiting a friend in one if the twin towers… [view original content]
Oh and him and Nick have also in the past gotten mistaken for being gay, despite only being best friends. Luke wonders if it’s because of his hair that people get that impression.
-Clementine hates her treehouse because she fell out of it once and hurt herself. But the main reason she doesn't like them anymore is becau… morese after the zombie outbreak started, she had to hear and see a lot of horrible things while hiding up there, like her neighbours getting attacked by walkers, gunshots and screaming, to seeing the dead walking around in the woods out back the fence. Most of it kept her awake those nights while praying her parents came home who she kept calling on her walkie talkie to come get her. The treehouse saved her life, but she can't bring herself to go up one again in the near future unless she really has to.
Oh but she still loves chocolate. She really loves chocolate.
-Lee would've been an awesome daddy!
He really wanted to teach Clementine how to ride a bike...

There are like tv shows about that happening. "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant", etc etc. Sensationalized TLC stuff.
Sometimes pregnancy can be weird and you don't show physically or have any noticeably symptoms. Some women even continue to menstruate. It's rare, though.
"Lilly's mother didn't know she was pregnant with Lilly until she was in labor."
How the fuck do you not notice a huge bump appearing over 9 months, and not go to your docter. wat evn.

Jane was one of the bandits that was at 'Save-Lots'. She was involved in taking over Bens camp, and she was there when Jolene was raped, and her daughter was captured. She also had an intimate relationship with the bandit who was killed with a shotgun. She was told her partner was killed by the survivors in the motel. She felt enraged and she was the one who spoke to Ben and made the plan for him to give the bandits supplies, as she recognized him from the attack she did on his camp.
Jane was also directly involved with attacking the motel in 'Long Road Ahead'. She decided to stay back, whilst the other bandits were attacking. As soon as walkers started to appear, she knew they were losing and she fled the scene. She travelled north and she was in the same group as Michelle, Victor, Ralph and Winston.
The group leader was 'Steve', the same person Rusell mentioned in '400 Days'. It was Steve, Michelle, Victor, Ralph, Winston, Jane and two other unknown members. Every member in the group had to work, according to Steve. This seemed fine, until Michelle ended up dead, after she had killed Omid.
Things in the group weren't running well and eventually the two other members escaped the group, much to Steves frustration. Steve started treating the rest of the group poorly, due to his beliefs about "seven" being the perfect number for a survival group. He was frustrated when the other members of the group couldn't find any living survivors to add to his ranks. Victor, Ralph and Winston were convinced by Jane to uprise against Steve and kill him. They did so, and soon Jane became the new group leader.
Victor, Ralph and Winston were ordered to scavenge a forest by Jane, and as they did so they found Christa. After that situation, Victor and Ralph went back to Jane, telling her about the incident and that Winston ran off. Jane clearly frustrated, decided they should all go looking for Winston, and they eventually found him as a walker.
Jane put him down, and decided they should move down the river away from any more walkers. That was until the incident with Carvers group and other survivors (including one of the two survivors who left Steves group) occured, in which Jane luckily managed to survive, however she had to deal with the walkers attracted to the gunshots neabry. She cut open and then killed a walker that was on top of her, only to be covered in its guts. She then noticed none of the other walkers seemed to have noticed her, and realised what must have happened.
She continued moving north, managing to survive by herself using the "guts method" and she eventually found herself near Carvers group. She used the "gut method" again to move through a nearby herd, when she was caught by Troy who was on watch at the time.
Due to her exerience, she knew she could toy with Troy get what she wanted, even if she found Troy repulsive. However Troy took advantage and raped her, whilst not comitting to his end of the deal by getting Jane out of the "pen" (mostly due to his fear of Carver).
Jane forgave him and gave him another chance of the deal, but Troy only agreed to do so if he could have sex with her again. Jane agreed but actually wanted to betray Troy and kill him. However she was just waiting for the right oppurtunity.
And that's when Clementine arrived. Jane didn't recognize her at all from the motel attack.
This is the third Jane post in a row but I feel that Jane used to be the rich high school/ college girl stereotype, everyone she loved died early on and she used to be sad and weak. She learned to put walker blood on her, cut her hair real short, (I imagine it used to be about to her shoulders) and spent those two years all alone. Those two years hardened her and made her unsympathetic to other people.

I'm not exactly sure how I would answer that, we have no idea what occured at the river to begin with. All I said was, Jane, Victor, and Ralph just happened to be in the situation, which is there to set the events of Jane realising zombie blood can hide you and that Victor would be at the river.
Skoothz is right. In fact, my dad is a twin, and you know how people get REALLY big when they have twins? My gran didn't. You could barely tell that she was pregnant. My dad was 2 pounds and his brother like, 2 and a half. They didn't know they were having twins.
And I have that headcannon for some reason, I dunno why. But... Larry just thought she (Lilly's mother) was getting sick in the bathroom after drinking too much wine on New Years, but it turned out she was in labour.

Clementine is actually a titan shifter and she'll turn into the Short Haired Titan in episode 5.
Ok, on a serious note: Russell grew to accept that the only way to survive was to become apathetic to people outside your group between 400 Days and S2, which is why he's still with Carver and seems to be ok with his ways. Tavia was also much nicer before the cabin group escaped and became less sympathetic after said incident and as the community started becoming more ruthless, partially to "impress" Carver and make sure to keep her entirely on his good side.

Jokes aside, My canon would be that Carley can be saved from Lilly, And then Carley shoots Lilly. Then, Russel finds Lilly's body instead. If you couldn't prevent Lilly from Shooting Carley, Carley dies instead.
I dunno, I feel like Carley shooting Lilly just like that would be a bit out of character. I mean, Carley was against leaving people to die and was really opposed to letting Irene kill herself, not to mention she also stops Lee from beating Andy to death. She just doesn't seem like she would actually just kill someone, especially someone in her group, just like that.

Prior to the outbreak, Nick didn't want to be like his alcoholic father. He wanted nothing to do for him ever since he left for good. So, Nick changed his last name to his mother's maiden name. His mother's maiden name is 'Randall' according to Nick in Episode 2 where he states Pete's full name, them being brother and sister, you get the gist.

Boom.
I'd like to imagine, that Roman and his group was having an argument with Carver (perhaps over something trivial) and as soon as Carver spotted Jane, Victor, and Ralph nearby he thought they were with Roman and started shooting in case Roman was setting up an attack. Victor got caught in the cross-fire while Jane and Ralph fled.
Okay so I got some new-ish silly headcanons on the Luke (and Nick) which I have no doubt in my mind are absolutely 100% plausible.
So, once a upon a time in a farmboy town/place/thingy far far away, this once happened to Luke:
That led him not to drink coffee for a entire month, with his scorched taste buds being gone just as long.
And this, also happened to Luke about a year after the dead started walking:
He has vivid flashbacks even to this day...horrible, horrible flashbacks of the very moment he gazed at his own reflection in the mirror, and realized he'd never grow a funky ass beard like Carlos or Alvin. Lucky bastards.
Oh! And also Luke and Nick totally did this when they were kids: (pic source):
And even that business failed too...although that's mostly because they set it up on a rural dirt track and nobody ever friggin saw it! But Luke still wakes up in a cold sweat about it all. He fails to mention this to anybody though because it's just stupid childhood stuff bugging the hell out of him, like those constant recurring nightmares of being chased by giant lemons.

Jolenes daughter was being escorted out to the woods because she was going to be raped, near enough the same time The Stranger was hunting with his son Adam. His son Adam (equipped with a rifle) seperated himself whilst his father was distracted peeing on a tree. Adam later saved Jolenes daughter by shooting one of the bandits in the leg. Jolenes daughter ran away and Adam eventually caught up to her, the bandits were distracted by walkers who heard the gunshot.
Adam and Jolenes daughter survived but eventually found Lilly (either abandoned or with an RV). Lilly is still taking care of them to this date.
Nick knows where the fucking river is by using his trusty state of the art 'where the fuck's the river' detection system, that involves 'taking a piss on a tree' to help him locate the water source within a 10.9 mile radius. It's a brillent survival skill for the desert, although Nick tends to avoid such hot climates because that involves 'taking a piss on a cactus' and for obvious reasons he doesn't like to get too close.
The Stranger was only unconscious after Lee choked him (but not shot afterwards) and he's still alive, probably still looking for Adam and Clem.
That's true though.
Luke and Nick got too drunk one night and they vandalized their neighborhood, and then they got arrested, and uncle Pete had to bail them out
