Overview

Although she only appeared in two episodes, Alisha appeared to be a somewhat kind person and was a strong, determined survivor. She quickly formed a strong relationship with Tara during the short time they knew each other and seemed to care about her deeply, as shown during the attack on the Prison, where she told her to run to safety if they were separated.

Alisha also appeared to be somewhat of a dark person who was more than willing to resort to extreme measures to stay alive and for her comrades to survive, as well as she agreed with the Governor's plans to take the prison by force, even though it would most likely involve killing the Prison's inhabitants. She did not appear to be too fazed by Hershel's violent death at the Governor's hands and quickly returned fire on Rick's group without any hesitation. She also did not agree with Tara's claim that fighting and killing were an unnecessary means of survival and followed the Governor's orders to assault the Prison and came close to killing Tyreese before meeting her own death, showing that Alisha was also very much capable of murder.

Pre-Apocalypse

United States

Not much is known about Alisha's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she was an Army Reservist.

Post-Apocalypse

TV Series

At some point during the time gap between the third and fourth seasons, Alisha was found and recruited by Martinez and/or his other group members.

Season 4

"Dead Weight"

Whilst at Martinez's camp, Alisha starts a relationship with fellow survivor Tara Chambler and is later seen when the group discusses the leadership after Martinez's death. She sets off with Philip Blake and the Chambler family when Philip convinces them to leave Martinez's camp for not being safe, but she comes back with them after that. Alisha is with Tara again, smoking a cigarette, when Meghan comes up and tags Tara. Tara explains that she can't play tag with her when she hands over her gun to Alisha, tags Meghan, and runs away. Alisha is also seen comforting Tara after a walker gets into the camp and almost kills Meghan.

"Too Far Gone"

The Governor is first seen giving a speech to his group, convincing them to attack and take over the Prison for themselves. Alisha seems to agree with the plan. When they arrive at the Prison, she is seen, along with another guard, taking out Hershel Greene and Michonne Hawthorne from a vehicle. Alisha stands on the front line of The Governor's militia, guarding Hershel while The Governor talks to Rick Grimes. Once the shooting starts, after Hershel's head is cut off, she quickly starts firing back and hits Rick in the leg. She finds Tara terrified, hiding behind a car, who tells her that they should not be doing what they are doing, but Alisha disagrees, saying they need to. She then tells her to run off into the woods if they become separated. Alisha then enters the prison grounds alongside another militia soldier and starts advancing towards Tyreese Williams, who is hiding behind potted plants to take cover. After the man behind her is shot, she turns around to see Lizzie Samuels, aiming a gun at her. After a brief hesitation, Lizzie pulls the trigger, protecting Tyreese, blowing a hole through Alisha's forehead and killing her instantly.

"After"

Alisha's corpse can be seen lying in the courtyard during the aftermath of the prison attack.

"Inmates"

Alisha's corpse can once again be seen lying in the courtyard as Glenn Rhee rushes out of the prison.
