Who is Lori Grimes?

Lori Grimes (née unknown) is the former tritagonist first encountered in Issue 2 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She was the tritagonist from Volume 1 to Volume 8. She is the wife of Rick and mother of Carl and Judith Grimes, and part of the camp located outside of Atlanta. At the start of the outbreak, Lori and Carl traveled to Atlanta with Shane Walsh hoping for a safe haven, only to find it in turmoil.

They joined a group of survivors outside the city hoping the city would be cleared of the undead in the near future and that the military would rescue them. She was reunited with her husband and soon became pregnant with Shane's daughter Judith because of the affair they had while Rick was in a coma.

Prior to the apocalypse, Lori was married to Rick, and the two shared a relatively happy union. When Lori found out Atlanta was overrun, she was wrecked with guilt about abandoning Rick in Cynthiana and grew increasingly depressed. In a moment of weakness, she shared one passionate night with Rick's partner, Shane, which she would come to deeply regret once she was reunited with Rick. After their reunion, Lori becomes staunchly loyal to her husband and fiercely protective of Carl. A few months into her pregnancy, Lori becomes somewhat prone to emotional outbursts, which occasionally cause tensions between her and her husband.

Being rather ineffectual as a combatant, Lori is often kept out of dangerous situations with the children and is usually delegated to doing day-to-day chores in the group, a role she is quite comfortable with. Lori has displayed overall emotional stability, and will often, though not always, act as the voice of reason in the group. She is often frustrated with Rick's willingness to risk his life and leave the safety of the prison, fearing that she might lose him again. Lori often objects to some of Rick's more radical decisions, such as letting Carl carry a gun or executing Thomas. This causes friction between the two, but the couple is always able to reconcile. Over time, Lori learns to trust Rick's decisions more and understands their necessity. Ironically, Rick would try to implement some of Lori's philosophy long after his wife's death. Notably, when Rick decided to spare Negan, he cited his belief that they can do things better in the new world as his main reason for doing so, which was the reason Lori wanted to exile Thomas instead of executing him.

If you are given the role, I will provide all of the details you need to start recording: Notes (For Recording Lines), Notes (For The Character), The PDF’s of all the Issues Lori appears in with lines, etc. 

I will need you to record the last two issues in the 4th Volume as soon as you can because we are mainly waiting for Lori’s lines to start editing issues 23 and 24.

Any questions you have about the role/auditioning, be sure to private message me.
