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 that 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 hanging them up in a tree.

Pre-Apocalypse

Georgia, United States

Not much is known about Jolene's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she 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 for 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.
