1 | Daryl Dixon

He's in love with a 25-year-old woman!

He is a man in his forties or fifties, with an athletic build and a slim but sturdy physique, of medium to tall height (approximately 1.78 m). He has dark blond or brown hair, somewhat long and unkempt, piercing blue eyes, and a thin beard and mustache. His skin is tanned from the sun and bears scars (many from childhood abuse) and tattoos.

His attire is functional and durable: his famous leather vest with angel wings on the back, flannel shirts, sturdy trousers, and sometimes a poncho. He always carries his crossbow (his iconic weapon), a knife, a red bandana, and hunting gear; he often carries game slung over his belt. He is skilled with motorcycles.

• Beginnings: reserved, rough, distrustful and strong-willed, a "lone wolf" marked by an abusive childhood and extreme loyalty to his brother Merle.
  ​
• Evolution: becomes protective, loyal, selfless and brave, a pillar of the group although he avoids formal leadership.
  ​
• Skills: An exceptional hunter, tracker, and explorer, resourceful and precise, he adapts perfectly to the post-apocalyptic world.
  ​
• Interior: tough appearance but loyal, compassionate and deep, processes pain in silence; evolves from isolation to trust.
