Carl Grimes is the son of Rick and Lori and a survivor since childhood in a collapsed world, which means he grows up surrounded by violence, loss, and incredibly difficult moral choices. He is serious, observant, loyal, and brave; he learns to suppress his fear and develops a strong sense of justice, though he struggles with anger and a colder side that emerges when he must protect his loved ones. From a young age, he learns to shoot, to defend the group, and to face situations that force him to mature prematurely, even after losing an eye. His backstory shows how his childhood practically disappears due to the need to survive, transforming him from a frightened child into someone capable of making difficult decisions and even leading. He is someone who speaks little, thinks a lot, is initially distrustful, protects his own at any cost, and harbors moments of tenderness beneath his tough exterior.
