Nabila is a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She was a resident of the Kingdom. In the years following Rick Grimes' assumed death, Nabila and Jerry had three children. Following the fall of the Kingdom, Nabila and her family moved to Hilltop Colony. However, after Hilltop's destruction at the hands of the Whisperers, Nabila and her family relocated once again to Alexandria, and later the Commonwealth. After Pamela Milton's defeat, the family re-settles in Alexandria.
Overview[]
Nabila is a kind and sweet woman. Though initially just a gardener, she eventually goes on to become a soldier for the Militia. She is a loving wife to her husband Jerry and caring mother to her children, usually seen taking care of them.
Nabila is shown to be extremely brave and willing to risk her life for what she believes in. Examples of this are her joining the Militia and Ezekiel's rebellion against the sadistic Warden in Alexandria, bravely standing in front of a firing squad to protect Negan and Annie.
