The Fall of the Governor

It was implied that she took part in the scouting mission to the National Guard station along with several other prison survivors due to one of the killed Woodbury guards being described as having clean severed appendages of which only a fine sword or katana could create.

During the prison assault, when the Woodbury army retreated, she and Tyreese went on the offence, managing to kill James Steagal and Eric. However, this act proved too careless and dangerous resulting in Michonne barely escaping from Gabe and Tyreese being captured and used as a bargaining tool in order to get into the prison. When this failed, The Governor killed Tyreese, decapitating him with Michonne's katana.

For the rest of the events of the Novel Series, Michonne's whereabouts remain unknown, until her story picks back up in the Comic Series. For further details see:

I'm--I'm not crying for me. I'm crying for you. I think about all the things I'm going to do to you and it makes me cry. It scares me.
―Michonne to Brian, after he raped her[src]

Michonne and Brian had a bad relationship. When Rick, Glenn, and Michonne encountered Woodbury, Brian came out to greet them in a pleasant manner. However, when he reveals his true self by cutting off Rick's right hand, Michonne lunged herself at him and tore his left ear off. Enraged, Brian had Michonne locked up in a garage. The Governor then proceeded to rape her and beat her twice. When finished Michonne tearfully states that she's afraid of what she's going to do in retaliation. This comes to fruition in Issue 33 when Michonne goes to Brian's apartment and mutilates him. When Tyreese died during the battle with Woodbury, Michonne became vengeful, but did not manage to kill Brian.
