"The Walking Dead" season 6 recently aired its mid-season finale and is set to return in February. One of its most mysterious characters is the teenage girl Enid (Katelyn Nacon). In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Scott M. Gimple has taken the time to respond to some of the rumors flying about the character.

One posted rumor is that Enid is in fact a remixed version of Sophia from the comics. The character was played by actress (Madison Lintz) but was killed off in the season 2 mid-season finale. In the original comics, she survived and was eventually adopted by Maggie (Laura Cohen) and Glenn (Steven Yeun). 

It is speculated that Enid might be the replacement given that the show no longer has Sophia around. During season 6 Enid spent a lot of time with Glenn and it is implied she will later have a stronger relationship with Maggie. Also like the comic-book version of Sophia, Enid was "orphaned by walkers."

Gimple connects Glenn and Enid as he states, "[Glenn] is searching for a place to be able to pass on to his son or daughter and say, 'Listen, your dad tried doing everything he could to maintain the person that he was so we can live in this society we created up until this point. So to go back for Enid and to say that this is for Maggie is part of that."

However, another rumor is that she is, in fact, a member of the Wolves, the murderous group that invaded Alexandria. She left right before the Wolves came in killing people and the flashbacks showcasing her past revealed her to have gone through violent times. She also has a loving habit for letters, similar to the Wolve's affection for the letter W.

"I can neither confirm nor deny that but I will say we've had a pretty good look at her forehead and that should say something to people," Gimple explains. 

"The Walking Dead" season 6 returns this Feb. 14, 2016.
