original character for amc’s ‘the walking dead’. face claim: michelle trachtenberg.

wlw tag is just because she’s sapphic; it doesn’t determine the plot at all. riley’s 18 btw.

riley smith’s backstory:

riley smith always knew the sanctuary was built on secrets. growing up under negan’s rule, she’d learned early on that knowledge was power—and that the wrong information in the wrong hands could be deadly. negan’s world was a web of lies and manipulation, and riley had spent years pretending not to see the cracks in the façade. but she had always watched, always listened, carefully piecing together the darker truths he tried to keep hidden.

her curiosity was both a survival instinct and a quiet rebellion. negan kept her close, but riley knew better than to trust his attention. she’d heard the whispers about people disappearing, about the “lessons” he taught to those who crossed him. yet, it wasn’t until she stumbled upon a locked room filled with documents and photographs that the true scope of his ruthlessness came into focus.

riley’s initial searches were cautious, her hands trembling as she sifted through folders and maps. she thought she was being careful, thought she’d covered her tracks well enough to go unnoticed. but when she uncovered a file containing a list of names—people marked as “priority” threats—and realised she recognised some of the faces, her fear deepened. this wasn’t just a ledger of enemies; it was a kill list. and by the way the entries were annotated with supply routes and coded notes, it was clear negan was keeping tabs on everyone, including his own people.

one name on the list sent a chill down her spine—her own. not marked as a target, but listed among “loyalty risks.” the revelation made her blood run cold. she wasn’t just under scrutiny; she was already considered a threat.

it wasn’t long before her worst fear materialised: negan caught her. the weight of the folder in her hands, the accusatory smirk on his face as he stepped into the room—it was all riley could do to keep her breathing steady. she knew she couldn’t run, not with the doorway blocked and no time to think. talking her way out of it would require every ounce of composure she had left.

the encounter left riley more determined than ever to find a way out of negan’s grasp. but it also reinforced the stark reality of her situation. knowledge might be power, but in the sanctuary, it was also a death sentence. riley’s survival now depended on how well she could play the deadly game of deceit negan had forced her into. every step, every word, every glance had to be calculated, or it might be her last.
