Michonne, played by Danai Gurira, is an iconic series character as well as comic book character. Her story differs between the series and the comics, but the overall badassery of the character is consistent. In season three of the series, she came on the scene, which mirrored her comic introduction. With katana drawn and her pet walkers at her side, it was a moment fans will never forget.

She proved to be a vital member of the communities and would go on to be a successful leader.

In season six, Michonne would finally come together with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to create the fan-favorite coupling of Richonne.It was a match made in apocalyptic heaven as these two characters that were a force individually created a powerhouse couple.

In season nine, Rick sacrificed himself by blowing up the bridge to keep the communities safe from the horde of walkers descending on them. Rick would survive, but only the viewers were privy to this information. Michonne thought she had lost the love of her life and the scene was heartwrenching.

After the time jump in season nine, it is revealed that Michonne gave birth to Ricks son, R.J., who she raises with Ricks daughter Judith. She also became the leader of Alexandria but was very suspicious of newcomers due to her experience with Jocelyn.

Eventually, Virgil comes along and barters with Michonne, his life for weapons. She follows him to his island and discovers some of Ricks belongings, indicating that Rick did survive the blast. The realization that her soulmate may still be alive has given her hope. She radios Judith with the news, and Judith encourages her to search for her missing father.

The last we see of Michonne is when she discovers two travelers, one is injured, who are trying to get back to their group. As Michonne looks towards the valley below, she sees a caravan of survivors. She decides to help them, and this begins her search for Rick.

Perhaps we will see her again in The Walking Dead movies that will see Andrew Lincoln reprise his role as Rick Grimes.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC on February 20.
