when it's all said and done,
no one remembers, how far we have run.

DARYL THOMAS DIXON
thirty nine | atlanta survivor | crossbow w/ arrows | single | brother to merle dixon

Daryl was seen as being just like his brother when they first arrived in Atlanta. He would insult other races, if given the chance. If someone made a remark about Merle or him, he'd immediately jump in their face to defend their pride. Despite being brothers, no one viewed Daryl as bad as Merle. Merle went around the camp looking for trouble, while he kept to himself. Both brothers would go in the forest, hunting animals to keep themselves alive. Keeping his distance from the group, he was never one to volunteer to go out on a run into the city. His only concerns had been his brother and himself. Being the loner for the majority of his life, Daryl has come to rely on himself as being the only one to fully ensure that this outbreak won't get the better of him. Despite keeping to himself, the campers at one point or another, most likely had the thought of shooting him. With the loss of his brother, his personality changed for the better. This was his chance to develop into a better man, judging from what Rick and Carol have said to him. After the group left the city, his true personality started to show through.

Daryl is resourceful in that he can handle himself against walkers with speed and an accurate target. The time on the cliff, he managed to wrap up his side which had an arrow in it previously by ripping the sleeves off of his shirt. He is capable of surviving on his own given the survival skills that he learned as a youngster. In the group now, he is viewed as being someone who has 'honor'. He spent the most time invested in finding Sophia. Daryl has integrated into the group as Rick's right hand man. This being because he has begun offering to go runs to find people. Even with the herd at the farm, he was the first to offer to go after Andrea. He has developed several bonds within the group and learned to accept the different race groups that have been in the group over the time that they have spent together. Daryl can often be found with the group compared to before when he would just keep to himself. This group has become his family in a way that he'll look out for all of them. Despite having a stronger personality compared to when his brother was with him, he still has his moments when he'll go back to his old ways. Such as when he was quite rude to Carol, calling her a stupid bitch when she just trying to help. When someone shows to care for him such as kissing him on the cheek, those walls go up in his mind. To not form an entirely close bond with some of these people, considering he could lose them. Also, he has never felt much affection from anyone through his entire life which is another reason why he recoils back to that former shell of his. This will perhaps continue to be his flaw as he continues his journey along with group. Despite that, a lot of the group could not imagine him not being there now.
