Daryl is at first a brazen, surly, impulsive redneck but develops himself as an integral part of the group due to his survival skills, tracking, hunting, knife-wielding, and his abilities with a crossbow. His aggression is unprecedented, and it remains one of his most valuable assets, as well as one of his most noticeable. Following the deaths of Ed and Sophia Peletier, Daryl has developed a close bond with fellow survivor Carol Peletier. Daryl grew up in the mountains of Northern Georgia alongside his older brother Merle, under the roof of their neglectful redneck parents, their father, an abusive alcoholic alongside their chain-smoker mother. Merle was the only inspirational figure he had during his youth and thus inherited his backward views on society, however, due to his older brother's service in juvenile detentions, he became frequently absent from Daryl's life and thus he was reluctantly forced to fend for himself, upon where he developed a hard-boiled survivalist mindset. At a young age, the brothers lost their mother in a house fire which had been caused by a cigarette while she was asleep or presumably drunk. At some point after this event, Daryl found himself lost in the woods for nine days during which he was forced to consume wild berries and utilize poison oak as a substitute for toilet paper. Eventually, he managed to find his way back home. Upon arrival, however, he discovered that his father had not noticed his absence and thus Daryl simply walked through the back door and made himself a sandwich. For several years, the brothers were mentally and physically abused by their father, which eventually caused Merle to abandon the family and join the military, subsequently leaving Daryl in the process which resulted in severe scars located on his back, this abuse however was unknown to Merle. Following their father's death, Daryl moved out from his birth home and eventually reconnected with Merle and thus simply followed his brother's lead upon which they entered into a drifter lifestyle, where the pair utilized their survival instincts upon which Daryl grew into a proficient hunter and tracker, hunting for food and dealing in contraband.

Merle shared his brother's trauma, unable to move forward from it. Merle hadn't changed his ways and became somewhat similar to his father. He used intimidation and aggression as a way to control the people under his wing. He acts cocky, is easily angered and doesn't hold back when snapping at anyone who tries to say anything about his narcissistic tendencies. In his eyes it was the only way of keeping the people around him safe. Even if he would never admit it. For example he was strictly against "fancy shit" which was anything that didn't count as a survival necessity. And you better listen to his rules while you're under his roof. He makes decisions for others and believes they owe him for it. He is a tough son of a bitch that often looks down on people below him without realizing the damage he was causing. Merle's view on surviving is taking whatever they needed without sparing anyone. He was arrogant unlike his cold more silent younger brother. But generally both men are jerks who rarely show compassion. .
