Michonne Grimes (/mɪˈʃɔːn/ mi-SHOHN) (full name in the comic book series: Michonne Hawthorne) is a fictional character from The Walking Dead. The character also appears in media adaptations of the series, most notably the television series of the same name, in which she is portrayed by Danai Gurira.[1] Armed with a katana and harboring a mysterious past, Michonne is introduced clothed under a hood and pulling the shackles of two reanimated corpses for protection and camouflage. The two walkers are subsequently revealed to be her zombified boyfriend and his best friend. In both the comic and TV series, she has a prominent role in the conflict between the town of Woodbury led by The Governor, and the Prison group.

The direction of the character is contrasted between the two mediums (though in both mediums, Michonne is introduced as an outsider who quickly proves to be a valuable asset). In the comic, Michonne is a former lawyer as well as a divorcée with two missing daughters. She forms a casual relationship with Tyreese while he is already in a relationship with Carol Peletier. Her conflict with The Governor is much more violent in the comics, enduring sexual assault before mutilating him in revenge. Michonne's mental state deteriorates after many losses, bringing her closer to Rick Grimes, who shares similar trauma. Despite finding temporary peace with Ezekiel at The Kingdom, Michonne runs away to Oceanside before making a return. Her absence was explored in a 3-episode mini-series by Telltale Games, exploring her departure and living life at sea.[2][3][4]

Michonne's backstory is slightly altered in the television series, having a three-year-old son named André Anthony, while the fate of her boyfriend and friend remain the same. In the television series, Michonne's trauma and guarded nature gradually diminishes as she slowly recovers and finds herself opening up and investing in a community of Rick's core group. Her conflict with The Governor is motivated by his attempt to kill her after leaving the town under suspicion that he is dangerous and trying to protect her friend

Washington, DC. She also develops a romance with protagonist Rick Grimes, becoming a surrogate mother to his children, Carl
and Judith. In the six years following Rick's disappearance and apparent death, she becomes one of the leaders of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, and has given birth to Rick's son Rick Jr. (RJ), before leaving to find the imprisoned Rick upon learning of his survival and abduction by the Civic Republic Military (CRM).

The character has been critically praised, often regarded as a fan-favorite in both mediums. Michonne was voted #86 on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes[5] and Gurira's performance has been well received.

Appearances

Comic book series

Michonne, as she is first introduced in issue #19 of the comic book series

Early storylines (2005–2008)

Michonne is introduced as a mysterious woman armed with a

Otis from zombies and follows him to the abandoned prison where the group is based.[6] She immediately bonds with Tyreese, recognizing him from his days in the NFL, and shares his passion for weightlifting.[7] They sleep together, precipitating Tyreese's breakup with Carol Peletier; Michonne and Tyreese then become a couple.[8]

Michonne reveals some details of her life before the

coping mechanism to deal with the real world's horrors. In return, Rick shows her a rotary telephone he uses to "call" his late wife, Lori.[9]

Michonne is among the small group sent out to investigate a helicopter crash, and they stumble upon the town of Woodbury.[10] Woodbury's Governor betrays and captures them, and violently rapes and tortures Michonne.[11] He soon realizes she must be dealt with more aggressively when she kills all the participants in a gladiator-style tournament.[12] The group escapes, but Michonne remains behind, saying "she has to take care of some things".[13] She tortures, sodomizes, and mutilates the Governor before making her way back to the prison with the rest of the group.[14] When the Governor retaliates, Michonne and Tyreese go on the offensive, attempting guerrilla warfare in order to buy the prison time to prepare for the next attack.[15] Instead Michonne is forced to flee after nearly being captured, and Tyreese is captured and used as a bargaining tool to get into the prison.[16] When this fails, the Governor kills Tyreese with Michonne's katana. Moments later, she returns and reclaims her sword, disappearing into the woods nearby.[17]

Post-prison (2008–2010)

After the events at the prison, she returns to look for the RV survivors and puts Tyreese's reanimated remains to peace.[17] When she finds only footprints, she begins to follow them and stumbles upon Rick and his son, Carl. She saves Carl from a zombie and joins up with Rick and Carl. Michonne protects Carl as a mother would, and goes to great lengths to protect Rick out of respect for him.[18] She bonds with them and keeps Rick's "conversations" with Lori secret. They rejoin other surviving members of the group at Hershel Greene's farm.[9] Michonne travels with the survivors in search of safety, and inquires about Morgan Jones' whereabouts. When Rick asks if she finds Morgan attractive, Michonne admits that she does, but is still mourning Tyreese.[19]

Alexandria (2010–2012)

When the survivors locate the town of Alexandria, a safe haven from the undead, and think they have finally been given an opportunity to rest, Michonne has a difficult time relinquishing her sword, as seen with her confrontation with Alexandria resident Douglas. Another resident, Olivia, persuades Douglas to allow Michonne to keep her weapon. Michonne settles into her new "home" and even hangs her sword above the mantle. She recalls all of the horrific ways she has used it to survive, and finally proclaims, "I am through with you."[20] Michonne begins to let her guard down, and Rick asks Douglas if there is a job for her in the community. Since there is no need for lawyers, Douglas recommends making her a constable to uphold the law in Alexandria.[21]

Michonne attends a welcome party held by Douglas in honor of Alexandria's new residents, but is quiet and reserved during the festivities. When one of Alexandria's residents, Barbara, tries playing matchmaker between Michonne and a young man named Heath, Michonne wearies of the conversation among the partygoers and attempts to leave. Barbara makes a well-intentioned attempt to dissuade her, but becomes insistent about what Michonne would care to eat and says she would hate to cook a meal Michonne did not enjoy. Michonne snaps and asks if that is all she truly concerns herself about. The guests grow silent. Michonne, uncomfortable, leaves.[22] She finds Morgan, who confesses to having left the party earlier, and they commiserate about not caring for "chipper" people. Michonne admits their conversation made her feel even more alone. She lets her guard down and rests her head on Morgan's shoulder. They end up having sex that night,[22] but Michonne is annoyed and turned off by Morgan's refusal to let go of his deceased wife.[23]

Michonne ends up falling for Morgan. The two ultimately get a chance to make up afterwards, agreeing to take things slow and get to know each other better.[24] She is devastated when he is bitten by a zombie, amputating his arm in an attempt to save his life.[25] Michonne later apologizes to a seemingly-unconscious Morgan. She says she does not mean to be insensitive and asks for his forgiveness, only to realize he has already died.[26]

The group successfully fends off an attack when Alexandria is swarmed by zombies, later holding funerals for Morgan and other fallen friends.[27] Rick finds Michonne sitting at Morgan's grave, and she says she would have lived with Morgan for the rest of her life. She then says she doubts that she will ever be happy.[28] Michonne helps in clearing up the last of the zombie horde in Alexandria and Rick approaches her, asking how she feels. Michonne replies that she is getting by, and thinks it's nice someone cares about her.[29]

War against Negan (2012–2014)

Michonne and

Paul "Jesus" Monroe. Jesus reveals he has traveled from a community nearby and wishes to establish an alliance between them all.[30] Rick lashes out at Jesus, knocking him unconscious, and Michonne helps in tying him up. Rick, Michonne, and Abraham set out to scout the area for an impending threat, but realize Jesus was telling the truth, and Rick decides to work with him.[31] Rick, Michonne, Jesus, Glenn, Carl and Andrea travel to Jesus' community, the "Hilltop".[32] Along the way, Paul helps the group defeat walkers even with his hands tied, proving his trustworthiness.[31]

Once inside Hilltop, the group learns that Hilltop's leader, Gregory, has established a deal with Negan, the brutal leader of a group of bandits known as "The Saviors". The Saviors keep the area clear of the dead in exchange for half of everything the Hilltop survivors manage to gather. However, the Saviors have been abusing members of the Hilltop Colony and Rick volunteers to help deal with Negan, a decision Michonne seems angry about.[33] The group is attacked by a group of Saviors on their way back to Alexandria, but Rick's group emerges victorious and kills all but one of them. Rick spares him so he can deliver a message to Negan, saying they are protecting Hilltop now and want half of Negan's supplies.[34]

The Saviors kill Abraham and capture

Eugene, sparking a conflict between Alexandria and the Saviors.[35] Michonne travels with Rick, Carl, Glenn, Maggie and Sophia to Hilltop, but they are captured by Negan along the way. Negan savagely bashes Glenn's head in with a baseball bat and leaves the other survivors, saying they will be back to collect half of Alexandria's supplies.[36] Michonne and the others return to Alexandria, to find a battle has taken place between the Safe Zone and the Saviors, resulting in Rick's group capturing one of Negan's men.[37] Rick lets the man go free, but Carl disappears sometime later, and Michonne joins Rick, Andrea, and Jesus on a trip to Negan's community, suspecting the Saviors have kidnapped Carl.[38] After a brief scuffle between Negan and Rick, it is revealed Carl is safe and they return to Alexandria.[39]

Michonne tries unsuccessfully to seduce Heath, who reveals Maggie told him about what happened between Michonne and Tyreese. She leaves and asks Heath to pretend as if the moment had never happened.[39] Michonne and Carl are later seen fighting a group of walkers, and Carl is surprised by one of them, which falls on top of him. Carl says he is useless with only one eye, but Michonne assures him Rick is fine with only one hand. Michonne later tells Andrea that she feels as if she cannot talk normally to anyone anymore, including Heath.[40]

Michonne, Rick and several others travel to a community known as "The Kingdom" where Rick plans to get help from Ezekiel to defeat Negan. She and Ezekiel become romantically involved, despite starting off on the wrong foot.[41] Michonne participates in the war against Negan and the Saviors, which ends in Rick's group emerging victorious and imprisoning Negan.[42]

Disappearance and The Walking Dead: Michonne (2014–2016)

After the war, there is a time-skip. Michonne is not seen for a long period of time. Rick states that he still misses her "even after all this time."[43] Michonne's disappearance is explained in the video game.

Whisperers arc (2015–2017)

Michonne is first revealed stepping off of a sailboat. She immediately shows her negative feelings toward Ezekiel by asking herself, "Seriously, there was no one else he (Rick) could have sent?" As Rick asks many questions as to why Michonne had left Ezekiel and the Kingdom, she reveals that she abandoned her daughters during the outbreak and that she would never be able to start a new life with all of her regret. The conversation ends with Rick telling her to "get her shit together" and to "go back home."[44]

Rick and Michonne discover the decapitated heads of Ezekiel and Rosita on pikes, and Michonne is devastated by her lover's death. They later find out that someone helped Negan escape from his cell.[45] Michonne initially desires to go back to sailing with Pete, but Rick encourages her to become the Kingdom's new leader, since Eziekiel was killed.[46] Despite having defeated Negan, Rick's group becomes involved in another war with a group known as the "Whisperers".[47] Michonne and her allies eventually come out on top, but Alexandria is swarmed by an incredibly large herd of walkers.[48] The survivors are able to drive the walkers from Alexandria, but Andrea is bitten on the neck and dies.[49] Michonne and Maggie are seen taking her body away, as the group mourns their losses and rebuild.[50] Rick decides to form a careful alliance with Negan, as he appears to have changed his ways.[50]

The Commonwealth (2018)

Michonne eventually ends up at a seemingly-utopian community known as the Commonwealth, where she is reunited with one of her daughters, Elodie, who she thought had died long ago.[51] Given an offer to join the community and go back to her old job as a lawyer, Michonne gives Eugene her sword and sends him back to Rick as a way of saying she is ready for a new life.[52] However, she returns to action one last time to prevent Elodie from participating in the violent uprising against Commonwealth governor Pamela Milton and keep her safe from an invading swarm of Walkers.[53]

Final issue (2019)

Michonne's last appearance comes in the final issue of the comic series, decades after the tragic murder of Rick. By this point, societies around the world have been restored significantly and walkers are now the oddity rather than the majority. An adult Carl is tried before Michonne, now a High Court judge in the Commonwealth, for the crime of killing walkers Hershel Rhee kept as a travelling show feature, as they are now viewed as property. Michonne determines Carl not guilty, ensuring a peaceful resolution for Carl and his family.[54]

Season 2

The Walking Dead (season 2)

Michonne makes her first appearance as a hooded figure near the end of the second-season finale, "Beside the Dying Fire" (though at the time Danai Gurira had not been cast for this role), wherein she saves Andrea from a walker by decapitating it with her katana, which features a triquetra on the inner crossguard.[55][56]

As in the comics, she is accompanied by two chained walkers, side by side with their arms and lower jaws removed to prevent them from attacking. In removing their ability to eat, Michonne effectively tamed these walkers. Michonne has demonstrated economic uses for her pet walkers, such as using them as human pack mules by loading supplies onto their backs as well as a camouflage/repellent, as their presence and scent fools other walkers into thinking those accompanying them are also walkers. Michonne later decapitates the walkers shortly before she and Andrea are discovered by Merle.

has died and turned into a walker, unknown to Negan. The zombified Sasha attacks Negan but is not successful in killing him. Michonne participates in the ensuing battle, but she is badly hurt and nearly dies. She is later seen resting in bed, with Rick by her side.

Season 8

The Walking Dead (season 8)

The eighth season of the series focuses on the ongoing war against Negan and the Saviors, with both sides suffering several losses. Having been injured previously, Michonne does not make many appearances initially, but becomes more involved in the second half of the season. In the midseason premiere, "Honor", she and Rick deal with the aftermath of Carl being bitten by a walker. Michonne is forced to say a tearful goodbye as Carl, close to turning, shoots himself to prevent reanimation. In "The Lost and the Plunderers" she and Rick leave Alexandria after burying Carl and head towards Hilltop, stopping at the Junkyard on the way. Michonne seems shocked to find that all of Jadis’ people have been murdered and is later slightly uncomfortable after Rick decided not to save her. The couple eventually reach hilltop.

Michonne contacts Negan via walkie-talkie and reads Carl's letter addressed to him, attempting to change Negan's mind and end the conflict without bloodshed, a belief that became very important to Michonne by the end of the eighth season. However, Negan insists on killing Rick, and destroys the walkie-talkie. In the final episode, Rick finally fights Negan and wins. Instead of killing him, Rick only cuts his throat and decides to imprison him for his actions, much to the dismay and anger of Maggie. Michonne, however, agrees with Rick's choice.

Season 9

The Walking Dead (season 9)

The ninth season of the series finds Rick's group attempting to build new lives following an end to the conflict against the Saviors, with Negan being kept in the jail inside Alexandria. Despite the loss of Carl, Rick and Michonne have moved forward and have concentrated on building a future for the growing Judith. The couple also decides to start trying to conceive a baby together.

The group has started construction on a bridge that will serve to connect Alexandria, the Kingdom, and Hilltop with the Sanctuary, ensuring that all communities are able to stay in contact (

Xander Berkely) makes two unsuccessful attempts on Maggie's life. Taking justice into her own hands, Maggie has Daryl hang Gregory for his betrayal, which shocks Michonne and Rick ("A New Beginning
").

Despite staying busy throughout the day by overseeing construction in Alexandria and tending to the overall community, Michonne still feels unfulfilled. She then realizes it is because she has not faced any real excitement because she has not dispatched any walkers in a while. Deciding not to tell Rick, she ventures out late every night to fight any walkers that are roaming outside Alexandria's walls. On one such night, she comes across a walker strung up in a tree with his hands tied, which angers her because it reminds her of Gregory's death at the hands of Maggie. Distracted, she is attacked from behind by another walker and is nearly bitten. She grabs a baseball bat nearby and kills the walker, realizing with horror that the bat reminds her of Glenn and Abraham's deaths. After this encounter, she decides to stop sneaking out at night.

Back in Alexandria, Michonne stops Maggie from going into Negan's cell and killing him. Although Maggie wants revenge for him killing her husband Glenn, Michonne tells her that it will only start something else. However, Maggie is insistent, and Michonne steps aside for her to go in. Despite her chance, Maggie realizes Negan is a shadow of his former self, and decides that leaving him to suffer in the cell is better.

In the episode "What Comes After", Rick seemingly sacrifices himself by blowing up the bridge to stop an oncoming herd of walkers, leaving Michonne devastated. Unknown to Michonne and everyone else, Rick actually survives the explosion and is taken away in a helicopter, accompanied by Anne. In the six years following his disappearance, it is revealed that Michonne has assumed leadership over the Alexandria community and was pregnant at the time of Rick's supposed demise; she is now a parent to Rick's daughter Judith (Cailey Fleming), as well as their own child together, Rick Jr. (RJ) Grimes.

It becomes apparent that over the course of those six years, a major rift has formed between Michonne and the other communities. She is hesitant to travel to the Hilltop, expressing concern that Maggie might kill her if she sees her. Also, Tara seems cold toward Michonne when she arrives there. However, it is revealed that Maggie is no longer at Hilltop and has left to go with another group, which Michonne didn't know about. Carol, now in a relationship with Ezikiel and helping him lead the Kingdom, tries to convince Michonne to allow Alexandria to come back into the fold, but she declines.

At some point, Michonne learns that Negan has escaped from his cell, only to return to it a short time later, by his own free will. Confronting him in the jail, she believes he only returned because he couldn't make it in the new world by himself. Negan counters that he has changed over the years and wants to help Michonne lead Alexandria, an idea she rejects. She also learns that Judith has been talking to Negan in secret. Judith believes that Negan is not a bad person, putting her at odds with Michonne.

Simultaneously, Michonne and the others must deal with a new threat - the Whisperers, a group of people who survive among the walkers by wearing their skin on their faces and imitating the walkers ("

Jesus (Tom Payne
) is killed when he is caught off-guard and stabbed by a male Whisperer in a cemetery. Daryl kills the man and discovers they all wear walker skin over their faces.

In the episode “Scars”, some of the six-year time lapse is explored in a series of flashbacks. Michonne is shown visibly pregnant, having spent the last few months helping Daryl look for Rick's body after the explosion, finding no trace of him except for his pistol. New survivors turn up at Alexandria's gates, among them Jocelyn (Rutina Wesley), Michonne's friend from her college days. Jocelyn reveals that she has been taking care of a group of children, and encourages Michonne to leave Alexandria. While Michonne is gone, Jocelyn and her group steal supplies and other children from Alexandria, including Judith.

Michonne and Daryl eventually track down Jocelyn, who has them captured, tortured and branded. However, they escape, with Michonne confronting Jocelyn and the children. In the ensuing struggle, Jocelyn beats Michonne with a wooden plank, and one of the children slashes her pregnant belly. Michonne ultimately kills Jocelyn by stabbing her with her sword. When the children attack, she is forced to kill them. However, she is successful in rescuing Judith and they return to Alexandria with Daryl.

The violent incident is shown to have ramifications years later; when Daryl shows up at Alexandria's gates with a wounded Henry and Lydia (Cassady McClincy), daughter of the Whisperers' leader Alpha (Samantha Morton), Michonne and Aaron are initially hesitant to allow Lydia in. However, Michonne decides that she trusts Daryl and allows them in, but only long enough for Henry to get medical attention. She refuses to provide an escort for them as they plan to travel to the Kingdom. Judith decides to sneak away on her own to protect them, taking Rick's pistol with her. Michonne sets out to track down Judith, arriving in time to save her from a group of walkers. They discuss what happened years before with Jocelyn, as Michonne was unaware Judith had seen her slaughter the children and remembered the incident. Judith believes Michonne did the right thing at that time, but that Daryl and the others are still their allies and they should now help them. Michonne decides that Judith is right and they leave together to catch up with Daryl and the others, unaware that they are being watched by two Whisperers.

In "The Calm Before", Michonne brings all the leaders from the communities to meet with Alpha. She apologizes for Alexandria forgoing its relationships, that Alexandria will give asylum to Alpha's daughter, Lydia, and to establish a mutual protection pact knowing that Alpha will likely retaliate. Sure enough, Alpha takes her revenge by killing Henry, Enid, Tara, Ozzy (Angus Sampson), Alek (Jason Kirkpatrick), D.J. (Matt Mangum), Frankie (Elyse Nicole DuFour), Tammy Rose (Brett Butler), and Rodney (Joe Ando Hirsh). Michonne blames herself for their deaths.

In the season finale episode “The Storm”, the group must battle their way through freezing temperatures and walkers, crossing through the Whisperers’ territory in order to make it back to their own communities. The finale takes place a few months after the events of the previous episode, “The Calm Before”, which ended in the deaths of several allies. Michonne and the others eventually make it back to Alexandria, where she is relieved to be reunited with Judith and RJ. She later visits Negan, who is healing in the infirmary. He commends her for crossing through Alpha's territory, despite the danger. Although her issues with Negan are far from repaired, it appears that Michonne realizes he has changed over the years.

Season 10

The Walking Dead (season 10)

The

tenth season has been confirmed to be Michonne's last on the show, with Gurira exiting after a handful of episodes during the first half of the season.[69]

The tenth season of the series focuses on the group's struggle to survive while under the omnipresent watch of Alpha and the Whisperers.[70] In the midseason finale “The World Before”, Michonne meets a man named Virgil (Kevin Carroll), who may hold a vital position in the war against the Whisperers. Michonne agrees to travel with him by boat to an abandoned island to help him find his family, in exchange for weapons the group can use against Alpha. Michonne leaves her children behind with Daryl, Carol, and the others, sailing away on a boat.

Michonne arrives at the naval base with Virgil but finds no weapons, soon realizing it's a trap; before she is able to leave however, Virgil locks her up, and she finds there are other captives on the island. Virgil then drugs her, and she experiences hallucinogenic visions of Andrea and Siddiq, and what her life would have been had she sided with Negan and the Saviors. As she comes to, she stabs Virgil, escapes, and frees the others. She chases Virgil to a storage room where she finds Rick's boots. Later, on a stranded naval ship, she also finds a phone with Rick's name and a drawing of her and Judith etched into it, suggesting that Rick may still be alive. She allows Virgil to live, takes leave of the others and contacts Judith via walkie-talkie to tell of her intent to find Rick. Taking two new walker pets fastened in chains, Michonne starts on her journey in the wilderness. She later finds two stragglers, a man and woman, who need help catching up to a large group of organized troops marching ahead of them. Thinking back on how Rick helped her all those years ago, she decides to help them. Michonne disposes of the walker pets and offers her hand to the injured man. The three of them then begin walking to catch up to the larger group.

In the series finale, over a year after Michonne's departure to find Rick, she continues her search, although she appears to have parted ways with the group of survivors that she had encountered and resumed her journey alone on horseback. At the same time, Judith finally reveals the truth about Michonne's departure and Rick's survival to her friends. Setting out to search for other survivors, Daryl promises Judith that he will also try to find Rick and Michonne and bring them home.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

Main article: The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

Michonne saves the couple she meets, Aidan and Bailey, and meets their group, a constantly moving caravan. She disagrees with their policy to not return for any lost survivors, a sentiment shared by fellow survivor Nat. Nat creates armour and a grenade launcher for her, giving her a horse to get to Bridgers Terminal, however, she encounters a large horde, and is saved by Nat, Aidan, Bailey, and other survivors who no longer want to abandon people. They accompany her to Bridgers Terminal, but are attacked by a CRM helicopter that launches Chlorine Gas on them, all but she and Nat are killed, and the two are forced to remain in their location for a year to remove the poison from their bodies.

After reaching Bridgers Terminal, where the boat Rick’s belongings were found last was, they find it destroyed with burned bodies. Nat convinces Michonne to return to her children, even if she believes Rick to still be alive. Along the way, they find another CRM helicopter and shoot it down. Michonne begins executing soldiers, but stops upon seeing Rick’s face, he confirms that he is not a part of the CRM, and warns Michonne to create a cover story presenting herself as weaker so she will not be killed. Nat is killed by a surviving soldier, and Rick places her sword in his hand. As another helicopter arrives, Rick places his gun in her hand and tells her to use another name for the dead, as ‘walkers’ is the same as Rick’s and would arouse suspicion.

Michonne convinces the CRM she is a woman named Dana, who was part of a large community with her sister, but their leaders were bad people and the community fell. She is told that no one who discovers the CRM’s city is allowed to leave and becomes a consignee, survivors who must perform labour before being granted citizenship. She learns that Rick removed his hand in an escape attempt, and the two plan to escape together, Michonne doesn’t tell him about his son, RJ, promising to tell him more about recent events when they escape. She considers destroying the CRM, but Rick states that they cannot return home if they do. She explores the base, and examines a lighter left to her by Nat.

Although she was designated a “B”, Michonne shows initiative and skill in dispatching walkers, drawing the attention of Sergeant Commander Pearl Thorne (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who is unaware of Michonne’s true identity and believes she is a survivor Rick found. Rick devises a plan for Michonne to escape the CRM, but when she realizes he does not intend to go with her, she returns the next day, much to Rick’s dismay, because he believes the only way for her to escape is if he stays behind. Commander Thorne gives Michonne a chance to prove her worth by joining her, Rick, and a handful of soldiers on a mission to clear a mountainous area for the CRM, giving her a PRB to call a helicopter in an emergency. Although the mission is successful, Michonne shows little interest in following Thorne’s orders, angering Thorne. There is a moment where Thorne considers shooting Michonne and making it look like an accident, but Rick realizes what she is doing and interrupts her. Flustered, Thorne sends Michonne away and instructs Rick to escort her back to the city. Before getting on the helicopter to return, Michonne is shocked to see Jadis Stokes and Rick tells her to ignore her and ends their relationship in an attempt to protect her. During the turbulent helicopter ride back toward the CRM, Michonne suddenly grabs Rick and jumps from the helicopter into the water, in an attempt to get away.

After jumping from the helicopter, Michonne and Rick fall into a river outside of Greenwood, a community of innovators formed after the apocalypse began and which still has power and modern amenities. However, Greenwood fell at some point, likely to starvation, leaving it overrun with walkers. Michonne then proceeds to try and convince Rick to go back home with her, revealing they have a son together named Rick Jr. Rick still refuses to go back, telling her Jadis will kill everyone they know if they escape. They find out the helicopter they were in crashed in the storm, giving them the perfect opportunity to escape since the CRM will believe Rick and Michonne to be dead but Rick still says he won't go home with her intending to complete Okafor's mission to reform the CRM into something better. Michonne then decides to leave Rick behind, with Rick going after her shortly after. A CRM helicopter bombs the wreckage to destroy any evidence of the CRM's existence, trapping Rick and Michonne in a collapsing building full of walkers. Rick and Michonne slowly reconnect and have sex with each other. After this, Michonne gets through to Rick resulting in him admitting that he can't see Carl's face anymore due to his traumas and that he's terrified to be with Michonne again as Rick wouldn't survive losing her again. After Michonne gives Rick an iPhone engraved with Carl's portrait, she convinces Rick to go home with her. Rick and Michonne escape as Greenwood collapses and take one of the community's hybrid vehicles which has enough ethanol to get them home to Alexandria.

Reception

Michonne was voted #86 on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes.[5] Regarding the television portrayal of the character, her scowling expression, reserved nature, and "Magical Negro"[71] qualities have been much-discussed by reviewers.[72][73] Michonne's uniquely independent nature has been praised, with one website commenting, "A case could be made that no character is as independently strong as Michonne."[74] However, others have criticized Michonne's lack of development on the show, writing that she "was quickly sinking into the "strong black woman" trope. She is constantly assaulted and manhandled with seemingly very little concern shown for her wellbeing."[75]

Noel Murray of Rolling Stone ranked Michonne number one in a list of 30 best Walking Dead characters, saying, "She survived on her own for months, figuring out how to thrive in the wilderness under the harshest of circumstances. Yet she's also adapted well to living in a group, and has even started to draw on her pre-apocalypse past as a mother and an academic to start thinking about how best to rebuild society. Savage when she has to be, tender and affectionate with her friends and lovers, both nurturing and deadly as they come, this character (courtesy of Danai Gurira's continually extraordinary performance) represents this series at its best. Michonne hasn't lost touch with her humanity. And she's a thrill to watch on a killing spree."[76]
