Daryl is both physically and mentally strong. He is often surly and very resourceful, but his compassion and loyalty towards the people he cares about are second-to-none. Despite his hardened personality, he is not without a softer, more emotional side. He is often volatile, but still significantly more level-headed than his older brother, Merle Dixon. Usually distant, Daryl is often shown to be caring and selfless under extreme circumstances. Without being asked, he attempts to find the lost Sophia Peletier on multiple occasions, one of which nearly cost him his life. He also takes the initiative to go back to find Andrea when she gets separated from the group.

Daryl is portrayed as a southern specialist tracker who constantly lives in the shadow of his older brother, Merle. Despite his hostility and distant behavior, he is a member of the team for a multitude of reasons - some of which being his hunting and tracking skills, his creativity in dealing with walkers, and his uncanny knack for surviving some of the worst possible conditions.

Daryl becomes more complacent and cooperative within the group, showing signs of respect and affection to the members he's growing closer to through mutual respect. He also begins to develop a special bond with fellow survivor Carol, helping her find her lost daughter, Sophia. Daryl begins to realize his older brother's way isn't the only way to do things, taking on more responsibility for his actions and the group itself. Having been an outsider for most of his life, he is now starting to become a loyal member of the increasingly closely-bound team. However, after Sophia's death, he reverts to his original hostility and becomes emotionally detached from the group. With the help of Carol and the rest of the group, he is involved in some issues (eg. helping Rick and Shane handle Randall) and seems to care about the farm and his shelter. On the night the farm is destroyed, he escapes with Carol and while she tries to persuade him to leave with her, Daryl, with a sense of respect for Rick, seems to be committed to keep the group safe.

Daryl proves to be invaluable, helping Rick and the rest of the group to clear the prison from the walkers so they can turn it into their new home. Moreover, he helps defend the prison after Rick's psychological collapse due to Lori's death, takes care of Judith, and also demonstrates his leadership capabilities by keeping the team united. The group has now become a large family, for which he is willing to kill or die for. Not surprisingly, when he learns that Glenn and Maggie are detained by The Governor at Woodbury, Daryl is one of the first members of the group to voluntarily go with Rick and penetrate the town to get their people back. However, Daryl ends up imprisoned there and after many hardships manages to escape with his brother, Merle. Daryl is then forced to choose between his old family and his new family. He finally decides to go with his brother. Daryl and Merle meet a family that is threatened by walkers. Daryl shows his altruistic mentality, leaping in to save them while Merle ignores them and then tries to plunder their car. However, Daryl prevents him, deciding to leave his brother behind and return to the prison. Merle then decides to follows him as he has nowhere to go. Merle eventually sacrifices himself while trying to kill the Governor. Daryl later finds that Merle has turned, and for the first time Daryl shows his conflicting feelings. He is understandably devastated by his brother's death, yet he unleashes frustration and anger he's felt for his brother since childhood on Merle's body.

His role in the group is even more important. He has become a member of the Prison Council, being responsible for the prison administration and is also one of the key members of the group. However, the security of the prison does not last long, as the Governor leads a new team that manages to eventually destroy the team's shelter. After the Governor's assault, Daryl and Beth are separated from the others and Daryl firmly believes that they all died during the assault. He feels guilty about not being able to protect Rick, Hershel and the rest of the group. However, everything changes when Daryl meets Rick, Michonne, and Carl once again just before they all head to Terminus. Rick's relationship with Daryl has become so strong that Rick considers him a brother.

the group is trapped in Terminus. They all face great risk, but an explosion gives them the opportunity to escape. Thanks to Carol, the group is able to reunite. During the fifth season, Daryl and Carol's bond gets stronger, having been separated from each other for a long time. However, Daryl hasn't forgotten what happened to Beth. At the same time, the group meets a new survivor, Father Gabriel. At one point, Daryl sees the car he had seen the night Beth was lost and follows it with Carol. In their effort to find Beth, they meet Noah, who informs the pair that there are people kept as hostages and Beth, who had helped him escape, was one of them. Throughout the previous seasons, Daryl has begun to mature. He prevents Carol from killing Noah, saying "He's just a kid". Later in the season, the group who captured Beth, captures Carol as well after being hit by one of the hospital's scavenging cars. Daryl returns to Father Gabriel's church with his main motivation being revenge. The whole group is preparing to get back its members. Unfortunately, only Carol manages to come back as Beth ends up with a bullet on her head. Daryl responds with swift vengeance on Dawn Lerner. After a long search for a shelter, the group finds a barn and temporarily stays there, but a new and seemingly suspicious survivor named Aaron approaches them and suggests they follow him. After a lot of discussion, they finally join Aaron and end up in Alexandria. At first, Daryl cannot adapt to Alexandria's life and is isolated.
