The Walking Dead has always featured an assortment of compelling characters. The villains and heroes reflect our own morality in different ways. They let us peek into how we might respond in a zombie apocalypse, enduring the horrors of flesh-eating monstrosities and precarious sociopaths thriving under a ghastly new paradigm requires more than brute force and determination. Each character succeeds due to their unique abilities.
Whether they're resilient loners, compassionate diplomats, or myopic authoritarians waging war on the "Rick-tatorship," each character may be easily classified through Chinese Zodiac designations. These character classifications may help readers see exactly how they'd survive a cannibalistic cataclysm.
12 Year Of The Rat: King Ezekiel
King Ezekiel is undoubtedly one of the most interesting characters in The Walking Dead. His ability to establish a "kingdom" adhering to archaic traditions proves his relationship to the year of the Rat. Those born in this period are resourceful and versatile. The King demonstrates his ingenuity and proves his adaptability through command and presence.
The year of the Rat is said to foster the kind and quick-witted. Ezekiel displays these qualities regularly. From the moment Carol is welcomed to the community to his rabble-rousing speeches, King Ezekiel proves himself as benevolent.
11 Year Of The Ox: Daryl Dixon
Anyone born in the year of the Ox is known for diligence, strength, dependability, and determination. They are also basically Daryl Dixon. Audiences met Daryl after his brother went missing. He never lost faith in his brother and proved to be one of the most powerful assets to the survivors.
Like an Ox, Daryl never gives up. Even after being locked away in Negan's compound and losing his other "brother" Rick, Daryl remained a reliable Ox. So if you too are an Ox, get your crossbow and chopper ready.
10 Year Of The Tiger: Carl Grimes
Carl Grimes' bravery knows no bounds. His confidence is unflappable, and his competitive nature drives him to a level of greatness unmatched in the series. Carl represents the year of the Tiger perfectly.
Carl faces a hideous reality with relative calm. He not only braves the apocalypse and confidently enjoys an alarming amount of chocolate pudding on a roof, but challenges Negan single-handedly. Carl loses an eye but keeps his cool and gets the girl, Enid, if only for a moment, proving himself a Tiger through and through.
9 Year Of The Rabbit: Michonne
The characteristics of those born in the year of the Rabbit are being quiet, elegant, kind, and responsible. Michonne perfectly matches every aspect. She doesn't speak when first introduced and only offers concise one-line statements.
Examples of Michonne's depictions as a Rabbit are too numerous to recount. Every swing of her katana illustrates her elegance, but her true magnificence lies in other graces. She proves to be an affectionate and caring mother of two. If you are a Rabbit you may, too, navigate the apocalyptic wastelands with enough poise and allure to steal the heart of your very own Rick Grimes.
8 Year Of The Dragon: Rick Grimes
Rick Grimes truly is the Dragon of the series. His ability to command the group and maintain control throughout chaos is a remarkable feat. Beyond his confident command, he accurately assesses danger and formulates brilliant plans of escape and miraculous assaults against all the odds.
One of the essential aspects that define the dragon is enthusiasm. Rick never loses sight of his overall goal of returning society to its original brightness. He strives to relinquish his leadership roles and establish a free civilization. Enthusiasm is present in all those born in the year of the Dragon, and proves to be a valuable asset.
7 Year Of The Snake: The Governor
For anyone born in the year of the Snake, fear not. The Governor meets the criteria, but that doesn't mean all Snakes should dread losing their minds with unbridled power. Snakes are enigmatic, intelligent, and wise.
Philip Blake, or "The Governor" as he's most commonly known, manages to fool the Woodbury residents into believing he is a benevolent leader. However, he never fully expresses his goals or allows alternative perspectives. Knowing how to portray himself to assume authority demonstrates this Snake's wisdom. What Snakes do with their abilities is up to them.
6 Year Of The Horse: Negan
Everyone's favorite filthy-mouthed sociopath proves to be the Horse of the series. His animated reactions and energetic persona resonate with the personalities of those born in the year of the Horse. It's hard to deny how active Negan remains, even while incarcerated.
Horses appear to exaggerate and steal the show, but this is due to dominance and intensity. Negan may seem unpredictable, but proves to be perfectly consistent. It appears that while Horses are quick to respond with their distinct extravagant demeanor, they too are swift in offering violence.
5 Year Of The Goat: Hershel Greene
Goats are calm, gentle, and sympathetic. No other character represents these traits more so than Hershel Greene. From his introduction to his untimely end, Hershel manages to remain collected, watchful, and responsible.
Hershel, a veterinarian before the zombie uprising, provided his skills to save Carl with little delay. He offered his land to the survivors and proved to be so sympathetic to the dead when he opted to lock them away in the barn instead of putting them down. Goats stay relaxed and seldom tend to lose their heads.
4 Year Of The Monkey: Eugene Porter
People born in the year of the Monkey are sharp, smart, and curious, just like Eugene Porter. Eugene is capable of developing an arms manufacturing plant as well as a diabolical plan designed to thwart enemy combatants.
It's important to realize this Monkey's ability to glide out of danger at all costs. He forcibly vomits on an aggressor. Eugene asserts his intellectual dominance to obtain pickles and a gremblygunk. Eugene repeatedly confirms his Monkey skills throughout the series.
3 Year Of The Rooster: Glenn Rhee
Glenn Rhee was a fan-favorite character from the first episode before he even appeared on-screen. Glenn was always observant, hardworking, and courageous. His ability to go on supply runs and effortlessly return showed his desire to provide and his diligence.
Glenn was able to squeeze out of challenging circumstances by using resources to his advantage. His tremendous level of courage is demonstrated by his proposal to Maggie and her subsequent pregnancy. It takes the guts of a Rooster to plan a family at the end of the world.
2 Year Of The Dog: Maggie Greene-Rhee
Maggie Greene-Rhee is the year of the Dog's representative. Loveliness, honesty, and prudence are her principal traits, and no other survivor represents this sign more than the gorgeous, straight-shooting farmer's daughter type. Maggie is loyal to Glenn after his death to a fault, proclaiming her name to Gregory at the Hilltop.
She demonstrates prudence in her ability to not only plan for the future, but through her capacity for determining threats and analyzing vulnerability. Maggie leaves the group to ensure continued prosperity. Her inevitable return further illustrates her position as the shows loyal Dog character.
1 Year Of The Pig: Paul "Jesus" Rovia
Jesus proved to live up to the generosity necessitated by his moniker. Those born in the year of the Pig are considered compassionate and diligent. Jesus served as a scout and look-out for the group, journeying day and night, keeping up his guard relentlessly.
Aside from his ninja-like moves, Jesus introduced the Hilltop to the rest of the survivors and the possibility of a bright future spanning communities. He showed compassion and generosity beyond what the group believed was possible and pulled them back from the brink.
