This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for her Road to Survival or TV Series counterparts.

I don't know... but I know if you feel like you should... Then you should.
―Brianna upon being asked by Maggie if she should send troops to the Commonwealth.[src]

Brianna is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is a resident of the Hilltop Colony, alongside her son Johnny.

Overview[]

Always level-headed and kind, Brianna is one of the friendliest survivors encountered, always having something nice to say about other people. She is a loyal friend and always lends a helping hand to those in need.

When she is first introduced, she comforts Maggie after the death of husband and the two quickly become good friends, due to them both losing people and being single mothers in the apocalypse. Brianna calls herself a "cold-hearted bitch" due to not feeling as much anymore when a person close to her dies. Despite this, she ends up being one of the empathetic characters in series. After Maggie becomes the leader of Hilltop, Brianna remains as someone Maggie will go to for advice. No matter what Maggie decides, Brianna always support her and her decisions.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Hardly anything is known about Brianna's life before or as the outbreak began apart from that she had a 12-year-old son and an aunt that she lost before the dead began to rise.

Rest In Peace[]

Brianna is seen watching Hershel with Maggie, who is expressing her worries over the Commonwealth. Brianna asks why Maggie didn't go with the scouting expedition she sent out. Maggie replies that she can't be away from Hershel for so long. Brianna reassures her and tells her to have faith in her people, but Maggie tells Brianna it's Pamela she doesn't trust and wonders if their entire army should've been sent to the Commonwealth instead of just one expedition. Brianna tells her if she feels like she should, then she should just do it, which prompts Maggie to go to the Commonwealth along with the Militia. She is later seen alongside Maggie, looking after Hershel.

After Rick Grimes' death, she is among the many people seen mourning and accompanying his casket back to Alexandria.

Brianna is mentioned by Sophia during the visit to Earl Sutton's home, when she asks him if he would want to move back in town, because there's a community for the old people he would like. Brianna is mentioned to be resident of that community, thus confirming her survival of the Trials.

Trivia[]

  • Brianna had one of the largest known families before the apocalypse.
  • Upon their introduction, Brianna mentions losing a boyfriend a few weeks prior to meeting Maggie. This coincides Ethan stabbing Gregory after having returned from a failed supply drop that resulted in Andy and David being killed and Crystal being taken hostage, so it's possible she was in a relationship with one of the expedition members.
  • Brianna is the only named female character to be still alive in the Hilltop Colony.
