Hello dearies and welcome to the eighth round! Before we get into the voting, it's time to finally reveal the results from the last round.

The supporting characters have officially been named and casted. Thomas Brodie-Sangster will portray Eden's son, Jason "Jace" Howard. Then we have the Howard siblings (Eden's late husband and sister-in-law), Jesse and Sloane, who are potrayed by Skeet Ulrich and Anna Torv. Charlie Hunnam will portray Eden's older brother, Owen Hill. And lastly, we have Laura Linney and Will Patton as Eden and Owen's parents. Their names are Thomas and Amelia Hill.

In this round, we will continue building our main character by choosing a plot/group for her! I went ahead and compiled a list of a few groups throughout the first seven seasons of The Walking Dead for you all to pick from. Regardless of what you choose, Eden, Jace and Sloane will be together meanwhile Owen and Amelia are separated from them. Which will allow for that family reunion to take place that some of you voted on.

Also, now that I'm active on Pinterest again and have been organizing boards for all my original characters/fics, I decided to create a board for this story. And I would absolutely love for you all to be part of it as well. So, if you would like me to add you to the Pinterest board so that you may save pins to it, just let me know and I'll happily do so! And if not, I'll still make the board public so you can still view it.

The deadline for this round will be 11:59PM on Monday, April 29th, 2024. Both the results and next round will be posted the following day.

Remember to leave your vote as an in-line comment and have fun!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE ATLANTA GROUP
Eden, her son and sister-in-law have been with the Atlanta group since the beginning. Having been stuck on the highway with them at the time of the Atlanta bombing, Eden followed them to the quarry where they have resided ever since. However, like Morales and his family, Eden decided to leave with Jace and Sloane to find their remaining family in their hometown. They would later reunite with the Atlanta group some ways down the road.

THE GREENE FARM
Eden has always known the Greene family. Although they were never relatively close to each other, they were still friendly when they saw each other in town. When the outbreak began and Eden was separated from her family, she was fortunate enough to cross paths with the Greene family. Hershel provided Eden, her son and sister-in-law with shelter and they have remained there ever since.

MICHONNE'S GROUP
Eden, Jace and Sloane had been refugees at a military encampment after losing and being separated from their family. Along with a woman named Michonne, they were the last four standing when their camp became overrun with the undead. They remained together after losing their sanctuary. After stumbling across a woman named Andrea, Eden believed it to be fate finding the blonde woman, for had they not, she never would have reunited with the family she's been searching for since the outbreak.

TYREESE'S GROUP
Eden, Jace and Sloane were on there own for the longest time. They were separated from their remaining family and constantly moved from one place to the next, never able to find a safe place to lay low for a while. While scavenging for some food, they crossed paths with Tyreese, Sasha and their small group and were welcomed with open arms. However, as time went on, their group became small in numbers. But they were fortunate enough to come across a prison that would change their lives forever.

WOODBURY TOWN
Eden, Jace and Sloane were stranded, unable to find refuge since the beginning of the outbreak. And never able to scavenge the supplies they would need to search for their remaining family. But when they are found by a group of men who offer them sanctuary, although hesitant at first, Eden, her son and sister-in-law go with them. As time passes, Eden and Sloane become valuable members of the community at Woodbury. But when a war breaks out and they finally find the family they've been searching for, they are forced to pick a side.

ALEXANDRIA SAFE ZONE
Eden had been born and raised in Virginia. But after marrying her husband, she moved to Georgia and they started a family. When the outbreak began, Eden was deteremined to get to Virginia to be with her parents and brother. It took a while, but Eden, Jace and Sloane eventually made it there. However, the neighborhood was overrun by the undead and they wouldn't have even made it out alive had it not been for a man named Aaron. He saved their lives and brought them back with him to a place called Alexandria. They would remain there, becoming valuable members of the community. When an all out war breaks out amongst the communities, Eden will reunite with the family she's been searching for, though not in the way she expected.

THE SAVIORS
Her son was sick. Jace would have died if it hadn't been for the Saviors finding them. In exchange for the medicine Eden needed for her son to survive, she and Sloane were forced to pledged their lives to the Saviors. They would become members of their group, forced to remain with them until their last breath, forever indebted to Negan. When an all out war breaks out amongst the communities of Virginia, Eden will reunite with the family she's been searching for since the world went to shit. But how can she ever be with her long lost family if she is unable to escape the Saviors?
