Thoughts about how different The Walking Dead: The Final Season would go regarding Sophie...
@spacedlexi @twdteacakes @pi-creates @thealexchen @badgersighted
This is something I put some thought into before, and that's what would happen if Sophie didn't die and had lived in the Final Season.
(This is really one of the Beta looks for Minerva, but I always imagined this is how Sophie would look if she appeared.)
Suffer the Children - James has an accomplice who goes by the name Frida, never takes off her mask, only talks in a low whisper with very few words. She's also come to believe that there are still people in walkers as she assists James in helping Clementine and AJ survive the night and escort them back to the school.
Broken Toys - Frida isn't with James at first when Clem and AJ look to them for help on the raid, and will show up in the midst of Clem either distracting or killing walkers while James is looking for his mask and takes over by luring them all away. She's not with James when first meeting the kids, but arrives just as they applied the guts on themselves. "Herd is here... Tread carefully... Save friends..."
When Lilly takes AJ and Minerva is arguing with Clem and Violet/Louis, they all hear a loud, "Shhh" and Minerva sees Frida standing just outside the door facing downwards with a finger to her lips, menacingly. Slowly, she takes off her mask and drops it. Stepping through the door and into the light, she reaches for a ballcap, places it backwards on her head and lifts her head up to reveal who she is as she is looking directly at Minerva with a glare, "Hello... Sister."
Everyone is obviously surprised to see that Sophie is still alive. It turns out she's been going by the name Frida because the name is based on the famous artist Frida Kahlo, given how she was known to be an artsy person, and she survived thanks to James and has been traveling with him back to the school all this time while learning to be a Whisperer, but could never muster the courage to return to the school out of fear of how Marlon and/or the Raiders would retaliate if they saw her.
As Sophie approaches her twin, Minerva is in so much shock, she doesn't raise her weapon and barely forms proper sentences together until she tries to justify herself again right before Sophie snatches the crossbow and smacks her down with a backfist, loudly berating her for trying to kill her and choosing the Delta over her and Tenn. She then opens the cell Violet/Louis are in, and Minerva protests saying that she's gonna get them all killed until Sophie bashes her with the crossbow just as Clem is freed. If Louis wasn't saved in the previous episode, he'll watch in pure disbelief. If Violet wasn't saved, she will try to intervene, but is stopped by Clem and Louis. Sophie will then tell them to free the others and get out while they still can, and as for Minerva, she'll say they've got plenty of lost time to make up on as she grabs her twin and starts dragging her away as Minerva is screaming in protest as she fades out in the halls.
Take Us Back - Sophie finds Clem with AJ and Tenn just as the other kids have escaped, and after a brief hug with her little brother, she leads them to the cave with James waiting for them if he survived. Inside, they find Minerva is tied up and bruised by her twin. If James is still alive, Sophie will side with Clem and AJ about killing Lilly, that they did what they had to do and stop him from trying to take AJ, but won't like it when AJ says he liked killing Lilly. If James is dead, she'll be saddened and tell Clementine she should've had AJ kill her when he had her at his mercy, regardless of whatever reason she had not to.
When Tenn sees Minerva, at first he'll wonder why Sophie did this to their sister, and then she'll have Minerva tell him herself what she had done. Tenn will have a hard time understanding why she tried to kill their sister, her own twin, why she never tried to come back to them and had them believing that Sophie died a hero like she claimed. Minerva will then claim that she knows what she did was wrong, but they're all together again and can be a family again. Sophie is quick to berate her on how that didn't seem to matter at all when she chose the Delta as her family and tried to murder her after all her attempts to convince her to escape and get back to their brother. That unlike her, she had given up. Clem can join in the argument either showing Minerva pity or scolding her for stabbing them in the back and for telling her to let the Raiders take everyone. At one point, Clem can even have a choice to hit Minerva hard as payback for cold-cocking her and say, "Hurts, doesn't it?"
Sophie is indecisive as to what she wants to do with Minerva, not really knowing if she wants to kill her or give her another chance because she's her twin even if she doesn't deserve it, and turns to Clementine to hear what she thinks. Clem is then given the choice to either leave her for the walkers or keep her as their prisoner.
After the decision is made, depending on what Clem says to James if he's is still alive, he'll either stay behind to fight off the walkers or leave everyone while feeling betrayed by Sophie. Upon leaving the cave, they'll run into either Violet or Louis, who will then have their own proper reunion with Sophie. She'll even be supportive with Clem's romantic relationship with either of them. And if Minerva is still with them, they'll voice their disappointments in how she lied and betrayed them. And then, upon reaching the bridge, there are many walkers on both sides and the decisions from earlier have their consequences.
Take Minerva as prisoner - Minerva spots an axe, breaks free of her bonds to grab it and Tenn with the axe held to his neck in attempt to take him with her and 'go home' back to Delta, and a fight ensues to stop her while getting across the bridge filled with walkers. This results in Clem getting her leg slashed and Minerva shot in the head by Sophie's remaining bolt. Sophie jumps with Clem over the bridge and Violet/Louis try to get Tenn away from Minerva's dead body as she is being devoured, but he won't budge and the choice to trust AJ with the hard calls or not comes into play as he can either shoot Tenn to save Violet/Louis or tell them to throw him over, but then they get devoured.
Leave Minerva to die - Clem spots an axe and takes it as they try the same tactic with walker guts to get through, but just as they stealthily make it over the truck, Tenn's foot gets stuck through the floor and the noise alerts the horde. While trying to free him and get across the bridge, the choice to trust AJ with the hard calls or not comes into play as he can either shoot Tenn to save Sophie or hesitate just as Sophie manages to save him, but then get devoured.
After the encounter on the bridge, Clem and AJ will then be separated from;
Sophie and Violet
Sophie and Louis
Sophie and Tenn
Tenn and Violet
Tenn and Louis
In the epilogue if Sophie is still alive, she arrives to grab Clem's hat for AJ. And if Tenn is alive, they talk with AJ about how Tenn wants AJ to show him how to be more like him and be less naive. Sophie wanted to hear his thoughts before deciding. AJ can either agree or let him keep being an artist.
If Tenn is dead, AJ will ask if she hates him, have the choice to apologize or justify his decision to save her/Violet/Louis and Sophie ultimately decides to forgive him. They will then see Tenn as a walker. She'll be sad seeing her little brother like this and knows she has to put him down, but doesn't know if she can as she raises her crossbow. AJ can either encourage her, offer to do it for her, or lure Tenn away so she doesn't have to kill him.
Back at the school, Sophie is happy to finally be home with everyone again while trying to get back into painting and is grateful to Clem for all she's done to lead everyone.
Whew! This went on longer than I anticipated it to. But this is all just my thoughts on how it would go if Sophie were still alive and appeared in the game. Let me know what your thoughts are on this and if you have thoughts of your own on how you think the story would differ if Sophie was alive. Follow up question, how likely would you have guessed that Frida was actually Sophie?

Between Reunions 2
Between Reunions 2
Christa sighed as she put the revolver she took from Alvin onto a table, the five-year-old glared up at her, trying to look intimidating. She wondered if her daughter would look up at her like this, if she had survived. Christa let out another sigh, she’d given Clementine a fuck-ton of grief, because she inexplicably expected a ten-year-old know how to deliver a child. Christa regretted not going back to give Clem a proper burial, or stop her from reanimating.
“Okay, Alvin,” Sighed Christa, folding her arms across her chest, “why do you have a gun?”
“To protect myself.” Stated AJ.
“Does your mother know you have this?” Frowned Christa, looking at the gun.
“My mom died when I was born.”
“Okay, does your caretaker know you have this?” AJ stayed silent, making Christa sigh, “I’ll need to speak with them at the end of the day.”
AJ turned his gaze to the floor, making Christa crouch down, “Hey, it’s good you want to protect yourself, but constantly carrying a gun isn’t going to do that.”
AJ continued to stare at the ground, “Everything we’ve been through, she keeps getting hurt. She was almost killed by the guys at the last place we went to because she found out they sold their own people.”
Christa placed her hand on AJ’s shoulder, “We’re not going to do that here, you’re both safe.”
“Clementine knows the leaders here,” Said AJ, making Christa freeze, “I got hurt and Clem said we needed to find somewhere safe.”
“H-how long had you two been looking for ‘somewhere safe’?” Asked Christa, getting a frown from AJ.
“Three years.”
BR
Clementine frowned at Sophie, there was something familiar about her, but she couldn’t tell what.
“Are you sure you’re up to this?” Asked Sophie, wringing a scarf in her hands, “You know, with your leg and all.”
“I’m sure I can milk some cows,” Said Clementine, “What’s it gonna do? Bite me?”
“I saw a guy get impaled by a bulls horns.” Shrugged Sophie, “Where’d you come from?”
“It’s a long story, do you want the full story or where we’ve just come from?” Asked Clementine, tipping her hat back to look up at Sophie.
“I’ll hear the full story tonight over a couple of drinks,” Offered Sophie, “I’ll take the immediate history.”
“We got in a car crash, looking for supplies.” Started Clementine, neither her or Sophie noticing Christa watching them from afar, she and Kate were teaching the children about animals. Normally Conrad would be with them, but he had guard duty.
“You still haven’t spoken to her?” Asked Kate, as the children clamoured around a horse.
“No, I can never find the time.” Sighed Christa, getting a sigh from Kate.
“Lingard said her boot’s coming off next week, you could approach her then.” Suggested Kate, before she noticed AJ wandering over to Clementine, “Or you could speak to her now.”
Christa spotted AJ, before walking up to him and Clementine.
“Marlon really tried to say you and AJ were the problem?” Demanded Sophie, “And Brody said nothing, after you saved her life?”
“Pretty much.” Sighed Clementine, leaning back and spotting AJ, “Hey, there, Goofball.”
AJ launched himself at Clementine and wrapped his little arms around Clementine’s neck.
“Whoa, AJ, what’s the matter?” Asked Clementine, placing a hand on AJ’s back.
“I missed you.” Said AJ, his voice muffled by Clementine’s neck.
“I’m okay, Goofball.” Murmured Clementine, gently rubbing AJ’s back.
Christa was taken aback at how old Clementine looked and sounded, despite the girl being no older than seventeen.
“The teacher wants to talk to you.” Mumbled AJ, burying his face into Clementine’s shoulder.
“Why?” Asked Clementine, frowning and looking at the top of AJ’s head.
“I took your gun into school.” Mumbled AJ, making Clementine groan and pinch the bridge of her nose.
“AJ,” Sighed Clementine, moving AJ away from her so she could look him in the eye, “it’s good that you know how to deal with walkers and protect yourself, but we’re safe here. We don’t need to keep carrying guns everywhere we go.”
AJ looked down, “Are, are you angry?”
“No, goofball,” Clementine ruffled his hair, “I’m worried about it, but I’m not angry.”
AJ gave a small, hesitant smile.
“What are you doing here, anyway?” Asked Clementine, frowning, “I thought you were supposed to be in school.”
“The brought us here to look at the animals.” Said AJ, as Christa slowly walked up to them.
“I take it AJ didn’t tell you about the gun incident.” Said Christa, making Clementine look up.
“Christa?”
“Hey, Clem,” Christa swallowed, “it’s been a while.”
BR
Javí heard Clementine scream. AJ had run up to him and Conrad, saying one of the walls had fallen down and Sophie needed help. When they arrived, they found Clementine and Gabe helping Sophie deal with the Muertos, allowing Javí, and the small group that came to help, to spread out and cut the flow off. Then there were two gunshots and Clementine was screaming as she kicked a Muerto off her, with a chunk of her leg in its mouth. He saw Sophie raise an axe above her head, and swing it down. Once. Twice. The third blow severed the leg with the bite on it. Gabe had Clementine’s head in his lap, a make-shift tourniquet wrapped around Clementine’s leg, just above the knee.
“What happened?” Asked Javí, as Gabe stared down at Clementine’s pale face.
“A, a walker grabbed her,” Said Sophie, breathing heavily, “she fell, I tried to shoot the walker, honestly, I did. Both times I shot, I, I hit Clementine. The,” Sophie swallowed thickly, “that walker bit into her leg.”
“Jesus.” Muttered Mike, moving closer to Clementine, “I’ll take her to Lingard or someone.”
Mike picked Clementine and took off running, leaving the group with a severed leg and a large patch of blood.
“Get guards here,” Said Javí, after a moment, “that hole in a weak spot in our defence.”
Conrad nodded and left, Javí gave everyone an assignment, except Gabe, Sophie and AJ. He looked at them, before sighing, “Go see Eleanor, I’ll go talk to some of the R&D guys and see about getting a leg made for Clementine.”
BR
“Do you think they actually survived?” Asked Tenn, looking at Violet.
“Who?” She responded, staring up at the sky.
“Clem and AJ.” Said Tenn, making Violet freeze.
“I hope so, but it’s unlikely.” Said Violet, after a moment, before looking at Tenn, “Hopefully, if they did die, they prevented themselves from turning.”
“I hate that Marlon and Brody got off easy.”
“Me too.”
BR
Clementine shakily walked across the room she and Eleanor were in. They were testing the new leg that Javí had made for her, she’d managed to make her way around the sides of the room.
“Okay,” Said Eleanor, moving into the centre of the room, “Clem, I want you to walk towards me.”
Clementine felt her foot twinge, and limped towards Eleanor. She got half-way, before her leg gave out on her. She crumpled to the floor, with Eleanor catching her before she could hit her head.
“You did great,” Soothed Eleanor, as Clementine took deep, shaky breaths, “you got closer to me than you did last time.”
“That’s only because I fell.” Gasped Clementine, staring at the leg, “I hate this. I hate this room, I hate this settlement, I hate this fucking leg!”
Clementine’s voice broke, “Why does it still hurt?”
“Phantom limb syndrome.” Answered Eleanor, sitting down next to Clementine, “The brain still thinks it has the leg and is send commands to it.”
“Why didn’t they kill me?” Whimpered Clementine, the cramp in her missing foot growing.
“We wanted to save you.” Said Eleanor, making Clementine snort.
“‘Save me’,” Scoffed Clementine, “I’m fucking useless. I can’t fight, I can’t hunt. I can’t every use the bathroom without someone helping me!”
“It’s all part of the process, Clem,” Sighed Eleanor, “let’s call it a day. Would you like help with your crutches or…”
“I’m fine.” Mumbled Clementine, getting up and hopping towards her crutches.
“Leave the leg on,” Ordered Eleanor, “the more you use it, the easier it’ll be.”
Clementine grunted.
BR
The prosthetic chaffed Clementine’s healing stump. She gritted her teeth and looked around before she limped over to the nearest cow.
“I can handle things if you need to rest.” Offered Sophie, before recoiling at the glare Clementine threw at her.
“I’m. Fine.” Ground Clementine, before sitting down and knocking over the bucket she’d just put down, “For fucks sake.”
Bonnie wandered over from her post and picked the bucket up, before nervously looking at Clementine.
“Sophie, why don’t you take Clem to Eleanor or Paul?” Suggested Bonnie, getting a nod from Sophie.
“I don’t need to see them, I’m fine.” Protested Clementine, as Sophie pulled her up.
“You’re getting all het up about your bucket falling over,” Said Bonnie, looking at her, “you need more rest.”
“I don’t need to rest,” Clementine bit out, jerking out of Sophie’s grip, “I need to get this FUCKING JOB DONE WITHOUT KNOCKING SHIT OVER!”
Clementine’s yell made the cow jump and start to move away.
“FOR FUCKS SAKE!” Clementine pinched the bridge of her nose and tried to control her breathing.
Sophie quietly moved towards Clementine.
“I’m fine,” Stuttered Clementine, her voice breaking, “I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine…”
Clementine started to break down, her breaths coming out in short gasps. Bonnie wrapped an arm around Clementine’s shoulders, before looking up at Sophie, “Go get Eleanor.”
Sophie nodded and ran off towards the hospital.
BR
Gabe silently looked down at the top of Clementine’s head, Eleanor had given her some sleeping pills and a couple of pain killers. Clementine’s leg had kept her awake for almost three days, before she finally collapsed out of exhaustion on top of Gabe. He winced as a small leg kicked his side, as AJ flopped out into a starfish as he slept. Gabe glanced up when someone knocked and opened the door.
“How is she?” Asked Kate, followed by Javí and Eleanor.
“She passed out about an hour ago,” Answered Gabe, shifting carefully, trying not to wake Clementine, “her leg’s been hurting her.”
“Phantom limb syndrome,” Said Eleanor, carefully walking around the sofa, “the brain still thinks the leg’s there, so it keeps sending signals for it to move.”
“That’s great.” Said Clementine, her voice muffled by Gabe’s chest.
“Clem,” Said Kate, surprised, “Sorry, we thought you were asleep.”
“The knock woke me.” Clementine pushed herself up and frowning at Javí, “What’s that?”
Gabe looked at the object in Javí’s arms.
“It’s a mirror.” Said Javí, “Eleanor found something that might help.”
“What, like looking at my reflection?” Snarked Clementine, throwing a glare at Javí, “I already know I look horrible.”
“Actually, the mirror’s for your leg.” Said Javí, “You’re going to need to roll over.”
Clementine huffed, but did as Javí said. He placed the mirror between her legs and positioned it so the reflection of her remaining leg was in line with the thigh of her amputated leg.
“Okay, Clem,” Said Eleanor, “I need to you to tense your leg up.”
“Why?”
“Just do it.”
“Ugh, fine.” Clementine tensed the leg, curling her toes to speed it up.
“Starting to cramp yet?” Asked Eleanor, getting a grunt from Clementine, “Okay, look at the mirror and release.”
Clementine did as she was told, looking at the mirror before releasing the tension she’d made in her leg.
“Oh my god.” Gasped Clementine, as the cramping feeling in her absent foot vanished, “What the fuck was that?”
“Mirror therapy, it helps with phantom limb syndrome.” Answered Eleanor, getting a sleepy nod from Clementine.
“Okay.” Was all Clementine could say before she fell asleep.
“Well,” Said Kate, after a moment, “that was quick.”
BR
Clementine limped into the paddock holding one of the cows. AJ had suggested wrapping her stump in something so it wouldn’t chafe against the prosthetic. Eleanor had taken one look at it and, along with Lingard, given her some Vaseline and showed her how to roll the fabric of the liner and suspension sleeve onto her stump, instead of pulling it on. Gabe had also made a strap to help keep the prosthetic on.
“Clementine?” Asked Sophie, poking her head out, “You’re back?”
“Yeah, how long was I out?” Asked Clementine, limping toward the red-head.
“It’s been three days since we last saw you.” Answered Sophie, getting a wince from Clementine.
“I was asleep for three days?”
“Two-and-a-half.” Corrected Gabe, bringing a bucket into the paddock, “You’re supposed to be resting.”
“Eleanor and Lingard said I could work, so I am.” Retorted Clementine, giving him a short scowl.
Her face softened, before she stood on her toes and gave Gabe a kiss, “I’ll be fine. Sophie’s with me.”
Gabe put the bucket down and wrapped an arm around Clementine’s waist, “I know. I just can’t get the image of you all pale after… y’know…”
Clementine gave him another kiss, “Babe, trust me. I’ll be fine.”
Gabe sighed, before give Clementine a peck, “I’ll see you later.”
“Back at you.” Responded Clementine, as Gabe walked away, “What?” she asked when she noticed the disgusted look on Sophie’s face.
“That was so cute, I think I’m gonna be sick.”

Marlon: *to the new young woman working there* "My dad said everyone needs a job when they grow up. Why don't you have one?"
