FIND-- MIKEY! KEEP HIM--
―Paula's last words to Rick before getting overwhelmed and killed by walkers.[src]

Paula is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is a resident of the Alexandria Safe-Zone. Paula is the wife of Nicholas and mother of Mikey. After the two-year time skip, Paula joins the Militia revolt against the Whisperers.

Overview[]

Paula is a protective and caring mother. She initially stayed protected in the walls of Alexandria, with her husband looking after her and their son. Eventually Nicholas is killed, leaving Paula as Mikey's sole guardian. She steps up and joins the Militia to help fight against the Whisperers as Nicholas helped fight against the Saviors. In her final moments, she tells Rick to look out for her son Mikey.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Almost nothing is known about Paula's life prior to or as the outbreak began, apart from that she has a husband, Nicholas, and a son, Mikey. It's possible that she lived in or near Alexandria before the outbreak. 

Post-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

It is unknown where Paula and her family were after the first days of the outbreak. However, Paula reveals that Nicholas was the one who escorted the family to Alexandria.

Life Among Them[]

Paula is first seen at the dinner party gossiping with Olivia, Michonne and Barbara.

We Find Ourselves[]

In Issue 85, she's possibly seen next to Nicholas.

Something to Fear[]

In Issue 99, Paula was seen again at Gabriel's church with her husband, Nicholas, and son, Mikey. Paula, Nicholas, and Mikey were at Abraham's funeral.

March To War[]

After the skirmish with The Saviors outside the safe-zone, Paula is seen with her son and injured husband. The following day, her family listens to Rick's plea before the battle.

All Out War - Part Two[]

After the destruction of Alexandria, Paula and her family retreated to the Hilltop. Eventually, Nicholas is wounded by a Savior with an infected machete. She sits beside him on his death bed and assures him that she and Mikey will be fine, and they have survived for so long because of him.

A New Beginning[]

Paula is seen in the main hall, waiting for Rick. She tells him the great condition in which the tree orchard is in.

Call To Arms[]

Paula is seen with the rest of the Militia shooting roamers to practice for the war with the Whisperers. She does well while Vincent almost dies. She returns back to Alexandria, Mikey greets her and says he is so proud of her, most likely for stepping up and joining the army.

A Certain Doom[]

Paula assists in thinning out the Whisperers' horde from behind the gates until the frontmost walkers push it down. As the other Alexandrians flee, a group of walkers close in on Paula and Rick. Paula gets devoured, while Rick narrowly escapes death. She asks Rick to find Mikey and keep him safe just before being completely overwhelmed and killed.
