Penny Blake (TV Series)

"Daddy still loves you..."

- The Governor to Penny.

Penny Blake is the daughter of The Governor. She first appears in the episode "Say the Word" as a walker.

Location Unknown
Little is known about Penny's life before the outbreak. She likely attended school somewhere in Georgia.

Woodbury, Georgia
When the apocalypse began, Philip attempted to move his family to safety. However, at some point after the outbreak, Penny died and reanimated as a walker. Her father, unable to kill her believing that she was still "alive" in a sense, kept her hidden in Woodbury within his apartment.

"Say the Word"
Penny is first seen calm and quietly wheezing in Philip's apartment. He is brushing her hair and accidentally rips off part of her scalp, causing her to turn aggressive. Philip ties her arms into a straight jacket and places a cloth bag over her head until she calms down. Philip then kisses her on the forehead. Michonne is seen through the window, standing on the street and staring up at Philips's apartment. It is unclear if she could see them inside. Michonne then sneaks into Philip's apartment to steal her katana back and opens a notebook with notes about town governing, and listing residents of Woodbury. This could be a list of deceased residents. Penny is listed at the bottom and her name is underlined. Later that day, Michonne mentions the name Penny to Philip and proceeds to threaten him with her katana.

"Made to Suffer"
After stumbling upon Penny caged inside The Governor's home, Michonne unleashes her, not initially realizing she was reanimated. Upon unveiling Penny's face, Michonne becomes aware of Penny's zombie state and prepares to put her down, but is interrupted by The Governor's arrival. The Governor pleads with Michonne to spare Penny, but is unsuccessful as Michonne ultimately kills her with a sword stab to the back of the head. The Governor is later seen holding and weeping over Penny's corpse after his scuffle with Michonne.

"Home"
The Governor mentions to Andrea that he kept Penny alive hoping that a cure could be found.

Killed By
At some point during the outbreak, Penny died and eventually reanimated as a walker. Philip managed to keep her undead-self contained and cared for her in his apartment.
 * Infection

Michonne discovers Penny and is soon confronted by The Governor, who pleads with Michonne not to kill her, stating that she is innocent and has not done anything wrong. Michonne, however, plunges her blade through the back of Penny's head, killing her.
 * Michonne (Zombified)

Philip Blake
"Don't hurt my little girl."

- The Governor as he begs Michonne not to kill Penny.

She is Philip's undead daughter and despite making a few appearances, plays a key role in his mentality and actions. Philip secretly cares for Penny in his apartment, as revealed in the episode "Say the Word." He brushes her hair, sings to her, and tells Michonne that she does not need to suffer, implying he still believes Penny is alive and is "under the grip of a terrible, terrible illness." When Michonne puts her down (meaning to hurt Philip) in "Made to Suffer," Philip is extremely distraught and overwhelmed, attacking Michonne in rage. Penny's death furthers his decline to insanity and causes him to be more cold, vengeful, dangerous, and determined to get revenge on Michonne and kill the survivors living in The Prison.
