“

I'm not a bad person... I want you to know that. And you had every reason not to trust me. It's so hard to take a chance on people in this world... and when those people lie to you, well... (...) I blew it. I know. And I'm sorry. I guess... I wish I had done things better. But I guess my people skills are pretty rusty. ―Juanita apologizing to Yumiko.

Juanita Sanchez, more commonly known as "Princess", is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She is a good-natured and energetic lone survivor encountered by Eugene Porter, Ezekiel, and Yumiko, who soon allow her to join them on their mission.

Overview

As she hasn't had much interaction with other people for some time, Juanita comes off as quite foolish, yet intriguing to the members of the expedition. She admits that she's been on her own for over a year, and 'it totally sucks', even questioning at first if the trio were actually real or just hallucinations. Regardless, Juanita is open to try and build trust with the survivors.

Juanita comes off as extremely talkative and easy-going. She is willing to make jokes at any given moment, despite the severity of the situation.

Juanita also appears to be very childish, as she dyed her hair purple and chose to wear a pink fur jacket and goggles, just for fun. She also gave herself a nickname, "Princess" and announces herself to be the Princess. She also states that being called a "Queen" would make her sound old and pretentious. Regardless, she can be taken seriously in a combat and is able to mow down walkers easily.

Pre-Apocalypse

Location Unknown

Not much is known about Juanita's life before the outbreak, but from her own words, Juanita described herself as being a lonely and socially awkward individual, who never had any real friends, and was once told that she was "hard to love" by someone, possibly a family member.

Post-Apocalypse

At some point in the apocalypse, Juanita settled into an abandoned city, mostly cleared of the undead where she found entertainment in posing walkers in strange positions that resembled everyday life with exaggerated clothing. She recalls that the last time she encountered another survivor was a year prior to meeting Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko.

Upon arriving in an abandoned city while en-route to meet Stephanie, Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko come across multiple walkers strangely posed doing regular things, such as two walkers appearing to have a tea party and a walker dressed in a police uniform giving a ticket, set up by Juanita. After hearing Ezekiel laugh in reaction to one of her setups, Juanita comes face to face with the three, reacting with extreme excitement at the sight of other survivors.
