The FTWD press kit has released Alycia and Alicia’s cast and character bios respectively. Read them below or go here for the press site, or here for the official site.

Alicia Clark
Alycia Debnam-Carey

ALICIA CLARK is a model student who overachieves with frustrating ease. She wants the hell out of Los Angeles, and she has her sights set on graduating and escaping to college where she will be free of her family’s drama. For years, she’s watched her older brother sink deeper into his addiction, and she is close to giving up on him when the apocalypse hits. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her brother’s screw ups. She loves her mother, empathizes, but it’s time to do for herself – time to escape.

Australian actress Alycia Debnam-Carey was recently named one of the “actors to watch” from the Australians in Film trade magazine, as well as one of “10 TV actors to watch” by Variety, and was runner-up in the 2012 Heath Ledger Scholarship, which celebrates Australia’s new young talent.

Debnam-Carey starred in the AMC pilot Galyntine and has held a recurring role on The CW’s The 100. She can also be seen in the New Line/Warner Bros. disaster film Into the Storm, and she played the lead in the independent film Where the Devil Hides for director Christian Christiansen and producer Mickey Lidell. She also is the lead of the upcoming WB Germany feature film Unfriend.

The FTWD press kit also released a Q&A with the cast and producers. You can read through Alycia’s Q&A below, or here.

Who is Alicia?
Alicia Clark is really the stable one in the Clark family. Kim Dickens who plays Madison is essentially the rock of the family, but she’s dealing with her son who’s a heroin addict, and she’s lost a husband and going through her own stuff. So Alicia has really been kind of solitary and self-sufficient for a long time. She’s felt the need to compensate maybe for everyone else’s struggles. She’s a good kid, smart, ready to finish school and get out.

I think the interesting thing with Alicia in this circumstance is that she’s got a plan for her life. She knows where she wants to go; she knows she wants to move and start her own life and feel like her own person. A great deal of the spotlight has been taken from her and focused on Nick because of his addiction, so she wants to break out of that. And people will relate to her because she has a plan for her life that completely falls apart in the face of what begins to happen around her. That’s real life.

What is the family dynamic like for Alicia?
I think she feels very trapped in this city and this family dynamic that’s extreme in many ways. It’s a very modern-day family. You don’t necessarily have what is considered a nuclear family anymore. It’s a single parent family with a missing father figure and a heroin-addicted brother who’s on the loose, so it’s a very broken household, really.

What is the show about?
Fear the Walking Dead is a show about family dynamics in the midst of pre-apocalyptic circumstances, and then what happens when society crumbles and the world falls apart and how people deal with it. I guess what’s different in this one from the original is that it is centered around what happened before, and how it even got to that stage of severity, and what happens when all those structures – electricity, transport, government, medicine and all other fundamentals – just dissipate. That’s a really interesting place to start for this show.

What’s different about Fear from The Walking Dead?
With The Walking Dead, there is a very provincial feel to it because it’s very rural. This one is set in one of the biggest cities in the U.S. – and that makes it scary. If the apocalypse were to happen, it would be unlikely that many people would be able to survive in such a massive city. LA is a great backdrop for this to happen; it’s very urban and relatable for people that way. This show is really all about humans and how they survive and what they do to each other to survive, and that to me is the most amazing psychological journey to witness. People will do whatever it takes to keep their kin safe and themselves safe, and that never gets old.

Describe Alicia’s relationship with her brother, Nick.
They’ve always had a brother/sister bond. Losing their father has sent Nick on a definite and extreme path of drug use, and it’s really broken them apart. I think for Alicia, having the loss of her father, and now losing her brother to drugs, it’s become hard for her to trust people and be open. But at the same time, Nick and Alicia share that loss and no one else knows what that feels like but them, so that also keeps them close in a way.

How does Alicia feel about her mother, Madison?
Temperamental. The relationship between a mother and teenage daughter is always a tumultuous one, but essentially it’s a good one. There is a very strong family unit between Nick, Madison and Alicia, but I think it’s just been so broken by circumstance. It’s hard because Madison has had to focus so much more attention on Nick and his addiction, and so she’s demanded a lot more of Alicia without necessarily knowing it. She’s been putting her own feelings and weight onto Alicia, and Alicia has had to bear the brunt of that a little more than anyone else, perhaps.

How do you think your character will deal with what’s coming?
Like with any character there’s a journey that has to happen. Probably because Alicia has started off being so strong, the decline for her is going to be a lot worse. What’s to come in future episodes is that feeling that nothing will be normal anymore. She can’t rely on anything anymore.

Alycia also took part in an interview with Elizabeth and Frank for Access Hollywood. She talks about how her friends reacted when she told them she got the part, and it’s hilarious! Watch here!

Lastly, another interview with Alycia has surfaced, this one with New York Post. THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW AND IN THE INTERVIEW, SO BE CAUTIOUS. Alycia gets to talk about FTWD and The 100! Read a few quotes below, or check out the whole interview at New York Post.

On how the story should appeal to both fans of the original show and newbies:

“These are very regular people, members of a community with regular jobs. The show becomes much more physical as it goes on, but for now it focuses on the emotional roller coaster — it’s slow in the way a drama is.”

On her potential death (SPOILERS):

Alycia has revealed that she’ll have to learn to work with weapons in the second season, so we know she survives at least until season 2. “I try not to think about it, but if it happens, I hope it’s not from a scratch where you become infected and you just die — I want it to be very dramatic.”

On if she is prepared to handle an apocalypse:

“I handle things as they come pretty well, but I’m definitely not prepared,” Debnam-Carey says with a laugh. “If things got worse, I think Australia is one of the few places that would be safe, so I’d head straight back!”

On her The 100 character vs. her FTWD character:

“They’re both very driven, and very physical roles, but because Lexa calls a lot of the shots, she has a lot of clear-cut choices. Whereas Alicia discovers things as she goes along.”

Alycia also talked to The Wrap. Read below about Alycia’s transition from The 100 to FTWD, her character’s transition into the world of walkers, and more!

Alycia Debnam-Carey on ‘Dramatic Shift’ to ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ From ‘The 100′: I Have No Weapons, No Power!

You came to “Fear the Walking Dead” directly off of “The 100.” What was it like going from that to playing such a normal girl?
It was super weird, it was like “I have no power anymore! No weapons, no power!” But maybe eventually, Alica will be able to have her own kind of power. But yeah, it was a very dramatic shift. I’d never played a character like Lexa before, with such an iconic look and distinct wardrobe, in a different world. I love that sort of sci-fi, fantasy world, so that was a real treat to play. But this is very close to home, and this is all about family dynamics, character relationships, and I also love that. And this world, as normal as it is, is about to get very abnormal, so it’s also a little extreme.

When will we see her start to accept the reality of the situation?
In time, definitely over the season. It’s a slow burn. It’s very different from the original show, where you were thrust into this world immediately. In this, the infected look like regular people, you don’t know what they’re capable of. Everyone thinks it’s drugs, or a phase or something. She’s going to fall hard and fast. She starts off with quite a lot of hope. She’s going to get out of town, she’s got a boyfriend, she’s got a plan. And then very quickly, she’s left with nothing. So that was also very interesting. It becomes her figuring out this world, and it will also coincide with her recognizing her place, within herself, and knowing then, what she’s going to do about it.

In the early episodes Alicia hasn’t had too many zombie encounters yet, but have you gotten to do some stunts with them?
I’ve done some stunts, got some bad bruises too! I can’t say too much, but you’ll see. Everyone got their fair share to do, that’s for sure.
