| “ | 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 Sanchez, more commonly known as "Princess", is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead.
Overview
As she hasn't had much interaction with other people for some time, Juanita comes off as awkward to the scavenger group. She admits that she's a 'little loopy from not being around people for so long', even questioning at first if they 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 despite being outnumbered and having guns pointed at her.
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 of Pittsburgh. She also states that being called a "Queen" would sound like she was older than she is. Regardless, she can be taken seriously in a combat and is able to mow down walkers easily.
Pre-Apocalypse
Location Unknown
Very little 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.

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.

Trivia

- Juanita mentions she hadn't seen a living person for almost a year before finding Eugene's group.
- She is one of ten characters known to speak Spanish in the TV Series.
- Her asking Yumiko, Eugene, and Ezekiel what is the capital of Pennsylvania is a nod towards her comic book counterpart since she is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
