	Personality
	Lori is someone who is incredibly sensible and realistic when it comes down to it which makes her such a good survivalist at the end of the world. She has a big heart but her main goal is to keep everyone safe and make sure they do what is best for everyone in their small remaining group. That isn't to say that she doesn't truly care for them - in fact she cares for them a lot even if she doesn't like everything that some of them do (the Dixon's and Shane are the main ones). Lori like everyone has her insecurities and fears and one of her biggest ones is being alone which is one reason she turned to Shane for comfort after he told her that Rick had died in the initial attack on their town. Because she does care so much about her friends and family she can hold a massive grudge against people who hurt them and in her mind, Shane hurt her and Carl in one of the worst ways possible. This is also one of the reasons that she befriended Carol despite the fact she truly likes the woman. She was absolutely outraged at the treatment of her by her husband which lead her to adopting her and her daughter as an honorary part of the Grimes family. A part of her is actually quite over protective of her son and husband and will go to her full extent to protect them. She will often change her mind in some regards, especially when it comes to Shane's relationship with them. Between him supposedly lying to her - though he tells her continually that he didn't and then she says that he should have tried even harder to save his best friend and then the attempted rape of her while they were at the CDC she has a very hot and cold relationship with him that quickly turns from hating to liking him at the blink of an eye, especially with how much Carl looks up to him. Lori has the ability to feel guilt about a lot of things. The biggest thing is about sleeping with Shane when she did think that Rick was dead. It is something that will haunt her for a long time but she truly hopes she can comes to term with it and move on. Most of all though Lori just wants the best for her family and friends and for everyone to get through the Apocalypse.
	Third Person Sample
	Lori looked around her carefully, trying to take everything in. During the short time the group had been traveling together she had quickly learned that they needed to keep eyes constantly on the look out for Zombies as well as on each other as the group was definitely an eclectic group of people who had come together as the few survivors that could be found. She had her friends and her son but nothing else but her instincts to make them survive as long as she could. She was grateful to have Shane and the others no matter how much she was still grieving for her husband who had died in the initial attack on their town. A part of her wished she had died too but she knew that it would have left Carl alone and she could never have done that to him which was why despite everything she was grateful for Shane for making them come with him to Atlanta where they found the others. Things hadn't been easy for them on the trip down but she tried as hard as she could to keep the group together and working. Running her hand through her hair she sighed softly watching everyone from where she stood at the edge of the clearing where she was hanging the washing out to dry. It was hard to believe that life went on in this campsite. Glancing out of the corner of her eye as she felt someone approach she smiled slightly when she saw it was Shane. If it wasn't for him she really wouldn't have managed the past few weeks here and he had been wonderful with Carl, something she was extremely grateful for. "Hi," she said softly leaning up to kiss him on the cheek after making sure no one else was looking their way.
