Judith Grimes (Comic Series)



Judith "Judy" Grimes was the newborn daughter of Lori Grimes, but it is still uncertain if she was daughter of Rick Grimes or Shane Walsh. She was sister or half-sister of Carl.

After-Apocalypse
Judith is the second child born to Rick and Lori Grimes and the first infant depicted as having been born after the apocalypse. As the only person so far to have no memories of a world without the horrors of the zombie apocalypse her parents expressed hopes that she would not live in constant fear as they do and accept the post zombie world as the way things are without referencing the way things used to be.

It was a point of contention within the comics as to who is Judith's biological father. Lori had a very brief sexual liason with Shane, Rick's best friend on their way to Atlanta. This puts Shane into the right time frame for Judith's conception, although Rick was reunited with Lori not long after so it is still entirely possible that he is indeed Judith's biological father. Rick has since forgiven Lori for her affair with Shane but forbids mention that he might not be Judith's biological father. As far as he's concerned he loves his daughter and the circumstances of her conception are completely irrelevant.

Killed By

 * Lilly

Judy's life came to an abrupt and tragic end as she and her mother were killed in the final stages of the Woodbury Army's assault on The Prison. She was not wounded by the gunshot, but died instantly as Lori fell on her. Judith is mentioned several times by Carl and Rick after her and Lori's death. During a long talk with Douglas, Rick acknowleges Lori's affair with Shane, and affirms his doubt about being Judith's biological father.

Trivia

 * Judith is currently the only baby in the series who was born after the apocalypse.
 * The Grimes family is the only group where all members have been shot at some point (except for the unseen character, Jeff and Judith who was not injured from the bullet but died when Lori fell on her).
