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.[2] Armed with a katana and harboring a mysterious past, in both the comic and TV series Michonne has a prominent role in the conflict between the town of Woodbury led by The Governor, and the Prison group.
In the comic book series, Michonne is a former lawyer as well as a divorcée with two missing daughters. 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. At one point, Michonne runs away to Oceanside, and her absence was explored in a 3-episode mini-series by Telltale Games, exploring her departure and living life at sea.[3][4][5]
Michonne's backstory is altered in the television series, having lost a three-year-old son named André Anthony. 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 Andrea. In addition, her relationship with the Grimes family is explored in more depth. She also develops a romance with protagonist Rick Grimes, becoming a mother to his children, Carl and Judith.
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[6] and Gurira's performance has been well received.
