Episode 3: What We Deserve Originally called "Dawn".

Rashid and Vanessa

In the final game, Rashid and Vanessa are characters mentioned at the beginning, both of whom are missing, with the search for them driving the story forward. After meeting Samantha and her brother Greg, they are mentioned one last time in an optional dialogue, but never brought up again. Despite this, numerous unused files and assets still reference both characters.

According to Kent Mudle, a former director at Skybound Games and Telltale, Michonne got an almost total rewrite really late in development. Rashid and Vanessa were at one point the people Michonne had spooky visions of, instead of her daughters.

Quote: "I remember working on a shot of Rashid spookily appearing just beyond the herd on the beach at the start of episode 2. They were always going to be found dead, but now it’s just implied they died in the ferry (you see a picture if their kids there I think) but no longer hard confirmed with a corpse."

Leftover Animations

Rashid has several leftover animations associated with him, though most are idle animations shared with other characters. The only unique animation, Rashid_sk54_idle_rashidShorelineReveal.anm, is actually used by Pete in Episode 2.

Episode Screens

In the menu archive which stores information about UI elements, there is a diorama file for Episode 3 titled ui_diorama_episode3Rashid.prop, which references the cut character Rashid. Concept art for this early menu exists, which features a screencap from the CW Arrow TV show with minor edits, likely used as a placeholder.
