Combat Pragmatist: A common trait of the group members is their ability and willingness to use anything as a weapon.Carol ends up fighting alongside the Kingdom, with Maggie basically leading Hilltop, and Daryl and Michonne reclaiming their positions as his two Lancers by the end of the season. Most of the surviving group reunites by the mid-season finale, however, but circumstances end up separating them again for the time being. Aaron and Gabriel step up as Rick's right hands during the Saviors' first plunder of Alexandria. Season 7: Michonne nominally, though she has grown slightly distant from Rick after the group was subjugated by Negan, and following the deaths of Glenn and Abraham, Daryl being kidnapped by Negan, Carol being MIA, and Maggie spending time at Hilltop for treatment from Dr.Season 6: Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Glenn, Abraham, and Maggie.Season 5: Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Glenn, and Abraham.Season 4: Rick actually ends up as The Lancer of the prison community before the final battle with The Governor, and for the rest of the season, Rick is only with Carl and Michonne, who becomes another one of Rick's most trusted group members.Season 3: Daryl is his main field enforcer while Hershel is his mentor and confidant.Seasons 1 and 2: Shane ( The Lancer) and Lori (his wife).Co-Dragons: Inverted Rick generally has about two-four people who form his inner circle.Daryl, Carol, and Michonne eventually fill the role as the show's Power Trio. Changing of the Guard: Rick's disappearance in Season 9 left a huge void on The Hero and Big Good roles.Break the Badass: Amazingly, Negan and the Saviors manage to bring Rick's entire group to tears in 'Last Day on Earth.' After Rick and his friends tried so hard to fight the Saviors and actually thought that they were ahead of the game, Negan brings them to their knees and coldly murders Glenn and Abraham just to send a message to the rest of them.However, Rick and Michonne, who hook up in 'The Next World' certainly qualify. Subverted with Rick and Jessie as she died before she could truly become combat-proficient.Aaron and Eric successfully recruited for Alexandria for quite some time and both are shown to be absolute badasses in Season 6 especially.Sasha and Bob during their brief relationship before the latter's death in Season 5.Both relationships are short-lived, however, as both Abraham and Spencer are killed by Negan not too long after. After Abraham dumps her, he ends up filling this role with Sasha and presumably Rosita with Spencer.

Abraham and Rosita are The Big Guy and an Action Girl respectively, even if we don't see them fighting together too often.

Both are two of the group's most ferocious fighters.

Maggie and Glenn get together in Season 2, are married in Season 3, and are expecting a child in Season 6.

Rick is married to Lori until her death in Season 3, but this is ultimately subverted since she was mostly an Action Survivor as opposed to a full-fledged badass like her husband.

Battle Couple: Several members of the group are either married or romantically involved.

Badass Family: While they eventually treat each other as such, some of the members are actually bound by blood, specifically The Grimeses, The Peletiers, The Greenes and the Sibling Teams of Daryl and Merle, Andrea and Amy and Tyreese and Sasha.

Luckily, Carol hadn't arrived yet and promptly blew shit up good, saving them.

Badass in Distress: While this can happen at any given time in the Zombie Apocalypse, it really looked like the group's goose was cooked when they were captured by Terminus, who outsmarted and overpowered them.

The Alexandrians later join this crew for good in 'No Way Out', making it more of a Badass army.

Badass Crew: This trope begins applying in Season 3, when everyone in the group is combat-proficient and work together as a tight, cohesive unit.The Alexandrians eventually become this by the midpoint of Season 6 at worst. Action Survivor: All of them at first, especially in the first season.
