Lilly Chambler is a character from the fourth season of The Walking Dead. Appearing in the three-episode "Governor" arc, she is the sister of Tara Chambler and mother of Meghan Chambler. She is portrayed by Audrey Marie Anderson.
History[]
Prior to the zombie outbreak that devastates the world, Lilly worked as an oncology nurse. The man she had married and who had sired their daughter Meghan left them three years before the outbreak occurred.
When the apocalypse began, Lilly, her daughter, her father David and her sister Tara took refuge in her apartment, surviving off the non-perishable foods stored in David's work truck. They lasted in this manner for a long time until the arrival of an eye-patched stranger calling himself "Brian Heriot" (who was actually Philip Blake). The Chamblers allowed Brian to stay in their building until he was fit enough to take care of himself, but over time they grew to depend on him as he taught them how to properly destroy walkers and also acquired oxygen tanks for the terminally-ill David. Brian then saved Tara's life when David died and reanimated as a walker; when David attacked Tara, Brian was the one who put him down.
When Brian decided to leave the Chamblers' home, they followed him. While on the road, Lilly and Brian shared a night of passion together and from then on Brian accepted the Chamblers as his new family.
After joining Caesar Martinez's survivor camp, Brian soon took over after discretely killing Martinez and his successor Pete. Determined to protect Lilly and the others as well as take his revenge on Rick Grimes' group, Brian rallied his band of survivors together to attack the West Georgia Correctional Facility. Lilly tried to talk him out of it, but to no avail. Having no real combat or survival experience, Lilly stayed behind with Meghan while Brian led the others to war.
Death[]
In the episode "Too Far Gone", while Lilly and Meghan waited for Brian and the others to return, Meghan was attacked by a walker and killed. Lilly takes her daughter's body and joins Brian as he leads the attack on the prison and after seeing Brian coldly put a bullet through Meghan's head, she watches despairingly as the man she fell for leads his people to their doom.
After Brian is stabbed by Michonne, Lilly finds him lying bleeding on the ground. Seeing him for the cold-blooded murderer that he is, Lilly bitterly raises a gun to Brian's head and finishes him off.
Following "Too Far Gone", Lilly is never seen again. It is not until the episode "Inmates" when it is confirmed that Lilly did indeed die following the prison massacre. Tara is heard telling Glenn that she watched as Lilly allowed herself to be overwhelmed by zombies and devoured.
