Who was the contest winner?

Anyone know who the winner of the walking dead preorder contest was , the person who would get made as a character and put into the game , i thought they said somewhere that they would be introduced in episode or die in episode 4 something like that

Mornai

It was Brie. Here's a dev post on it:

She also got a "special thanks" in the end credits.

Egh , grats to her but i kind of wish they had chosen some one with a bit more potential for being a character atleast no offense to her of course but a mid to late 30s teacher didnt have much to offer but then again i guess it was random , at first i thought molly was the contest winner

I thought Brie was an EXCELLENT in-game character, free of the stereotype and with a very individual looking character model. Individual and singled out enough that I suspected her to become a much more important character in the game (like: "so much work on a single in-game model and then killed only an hour later??").

Also, she got the only REALLY splattery scene in the entirety of episode 4.

She had as much to offer as anyone else. If the whole cast in the series ends up being people with exceptional skills (such as Molly), then it would be too unrealistic. I think her character was very fitting for the episode.

I had always wondered why she stood out, and why she got such an epic death scene. lol

I thought it was great that all sorts of people had a chance of winning the contest and appearing in the game. I thought her character looked and acted like real American women that I see every day, and she was given a realistic story, which i appreciate. Congratulations to her; the experience of appearing in the game is something she will always have!

I am hoping there is something similar to this contest for episode 2 as well. She fit right in the universe for me, I was actually shocked when I found out she was a real person. She is probably very ecstatic over seeing herself in the game, definitely something she will remember and cherish for a very long time.

if you talk to her her story is very sad...as is everyone else's but she had battled with cancer for a long long time then it went into remission right before walkers started roaming the earth. she outlived all of her family who were cancer free. I didn't think she was the winner and thought that she might stick around for a bit. Kenny and ben's argument took care of her though so bye bye Brie:(
