Jolene is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. She is a mentally unstable woman fending for herself in the woods near the St. John's Dairy Farm after defecting from the Save-Lots Bandits when they presumably raped and possibly killed her daughter, Danielle.
Overview[]
Jolene is a deranged, reckless, and mentally unstable woman. She was a member of the Save-Lots Bandits, however after they took her daughter and raped her she defected and lived alone in the woods, where she presumably became insane. She became so delusional she began to believe that Clementine was her daughter and that the group stole her from her. She is shown to be brutal and sadistic, threatening to shoot Lee and Danny in their balls and stringing it up to a tree.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Rural Georgia[]
Almost nothing is known about Jolene's life prior to or as the outbreak began. She presumably worked at the Save Lots and had a daughter named Danielle.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Season One[]
"Starved For Help"[]
Upon the fall of humanity, Jolene presumably went to Save Lots like many of the other locals seeking refuge. She met up with a group of bandits that lived in the woods near the St. John's Dairy. There, the bandits Bart, Linda, and Jake took her daughter into the woods despite Jolene's objections. Afterwards, they may have raped her and left her to fend on her own in a small camp. While living on her own, she discovered the motel and began to spy on Lee's group with her video camera. She takes a special interest in Clementine, rambling that she needed a mother and even stole her hat for comfort. When Danny and Lee discover her camp during a recon mission, they find boxes from the dairy, her video camera, and Clementine's hat. Jolene surprises them by pointing a crossbow at them and begins ranting about how Lee stole Clementine from her and that the St. Johns are hiding something. During the argument, Jolene is shot dead by either Lee, if he chooses to, or Danny, if Lee does not kill her.

Quotes[]
The following is a list of some of Jolene's most memorable quotes.
Season One"Don't you fucking move! (…) Put your guns down. (…) I ain't going back. You tell 'em Jolene ain't goin' back! (…) You had a deal with them. I ain't them. I know you. I know what you are, and I know what you do. (…) Steal my shit. Steal everything from me!" "That's a hell of a question, mister. They told me I'd be safe with them... Men who lived here. But it weren't safe. Not for me, and not for my girl. They didn't treat her nice. Not at all. They took her away, into the woods. Wouldn't tell me where. And I begged 'em. Every way I could think. They just laughed... (laughs) So I killed 'em. And I'm staying here 'til she comes back to me. One way or another... she'll come back." "Now, maybe you didn't hear me last time. When I asked you sweet, put your damn guns down! You think I won't kill you? I'm gonna take this here crossbow, and put a nice sharp arrow, right through your eyeball. And into your goddamn brain. You're not men, you're monsters. All men are monsters. Take what they want, and then destroy it all. Take a can of beans, take a little girl... it's all the fucking same to you!" "Now, maybe you didn't hear me last time. When I asked you sweet, put your damn guns down! You think I won't kill you? I'm gonna take this here crossbow, and put a nice sharp arrow, right through your eyeball. And into your goddamn brain. You're not men, you're monsters. All men are monsters. Take what they want, and then destroy it all. Take a can of beans, take a little girl... it's all the fucking same to you!" "Who the fuck is Mark? I don't know any Mark. (…) Fuck I did. That them other people, they's good buddies with your boyfriend here. I guess you met 'em. Ain't they nice? You know what? I changed my mind... I'm putting this arrow right through your balls. Yeah! Right through. String 'em up on that tree. Then I'm gonna head down to that farm and shoot every goddamn person I see." "The crazy lady in the woods brings fresh meat to the farm!" "Y'all wave them guns like you're lookin' to die. Don't need to go lookin' for death. It's already found us. Just waitin' to get turned into monsters. Some of us already are!" "Go on, tell him, boy! Tell him what you got in mind for--" "Jake, Bart, Linda, and all y'all fuckin' sickos from the Save-Lots! They call y'all bandits, but you're fucking rapist monsters--" "Oh, darlin', baby. Look at you. Look at you. Oh, you need a mama, sweetheart. We won't let them bandits get you, will we?" "All thinkin' you're safe, sittin' there actin' like things are the way they used to be. The dead don't kill their own. It's the living you gotta be afraid of... the people I used to call friends… The people who took... Don't worry little girl. Bandits got their eye on that dairy. As long as they keep getting food from them, you'll be safe. I promise." |
