This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for her TV Series or Road to Survival counterparts. For other pages with the same name, see: Olivia

Oh, Douglas, a weapon is a weapon? Anything can be a weapon. To most people a hammer'd be more deadly than that sword, you let people keep those. I've got knives in my kitchen that aren't much smaller than that. Let the woman keep the sword.
―Olivia telling Douglas to let Michonne keep her katana.[src]

Olivia is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is a resident and the inventory manager of the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

Overview[]

Olivia is a calm, kind, and rational survivor. Although not known for her combat-proficiency, Olivia is very helpful and reliable, helping with jobs inside the community, such as acting as the inventory manager and later mill runner. She sometimes could be forgetful, such as forgetting to lock Negan's cell door, putting the whole community at risk. At one point, it also appeared she may oppose Rick's leadership, as she took part in Nicholas' coup against him and his group. However, of the three who participated, Olivia was the most hesitant and later is shown to get along well with Rick.

Olivia is not particularly courageous, however she does have moments where she stands up for herself, such as slapping Negan after he makes demeaning comments about her weight and offers to have sex with her.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Washington, D.C.[]

Not much is known about Olivia's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she was one of the original residents of Alexandria.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Alexandria Safe-Zone[]

Olivia is in charge of the weapons storage and armory. She came to the Alexandria Safe-Zone at an undisclosed time after Alexander Davidson had already built the surrounding fences, and after Douglas Monroe took over leadership of the community[1].

She supported Michonne in keeping her sword, stating that she believes anything, even her own kitchen knives are able to be weapons, and persuades Douglas to go along with it. She's apparently bubbly and very helpful, and like Barbara, acts very oblivious to the apocalypse. She is hinted to be a little bit of a gossiper, similarly to Barbara. She also appeared at the party for the group in Issue 72. It is possible that she may be attracted to Spencer Monroe, as she complimented him by saying that she found him very handsome. However, Barbara adds that she's skeptical about him, believing him to be a homosexual.

However, when another woman adds that she saw Spencer talking with Andrea, Olivia found it very funny. It appeared that she had a look of either jealousy or amusement, as she added upon hearing that she knew very well that Douglas was attracted to Andrea. She added that it would end up into something interesting, hinting that she knows about Douglas' lechery and infidelity. Little else has yet been shown about her character or history.

Alexandria Safe-Zone Chaos[]

After zombies began attacking the Safe-Zone, Olivia went into hiding, presumably in the weapons storage building.

Alexandria Safe-Zone Aftermath[]

She is seen with the other survivors at the end of the attack in Issue 85. She was being trained by Andrea, along with Maggie Greene, to learn self-defense with guns. While both women were very nervous with the idea, Olivia seemed most uncomfortable with it. Olivia is later seen alongside Spencer and Nicholas plotting an assassination attempt on Rick Grimes. While Olivia was unsure with Rick as a leader, she didn't want him dead. Spencer and Nicholas both convinced her that it was for the best. It's not really entirely clear on why she agreed or was prompted to be one of the conspirators. Possibilities were that she was afraid, or that she didn't like how Rick and the others wanted her to fight in case of another attack, or possibly that either Nicholas or Spencer pressured her into it. 

She is the only one of the group to seem to show some morality, when it's discovered that Glenn Rhee heard their conversation. Nicholas attempted to kill Glenn and Spencer did nothing, however, Olivia was begging them to stop.

Conflict With The Saviors[]

Olivia is later seen greeting Negan when he visits the Safe-Zone early. She gets into a heated debate with him and slaps him. The Saviors then proceed to grab her, however Negan tells them to let her go, making a crude remark about her weight before he leaves. After the Alexandria Safe-Zone is destroyed by Negan, she moves to The Hilltop with the other residents. After re-locating to the Hilltop, after Alexandria fell, Olivia joins Rosita outside, and tells her not to be ashamed of liking Eugene, adding that they are not in high school and it won't ruin her reputation by "liking the fat guy." Rosita asks Olivia if she could be left alone, who bitterly complies and leaves Rosita to her thoughts.

Two Years Later[]

Olivia is now working the mill and having Mikey run deliveries. She shows Rick and Eugene around and tells them that a new batch is almost done and Rick comments on the smell of the bread and how wonderful the mill is. After a while, Eugene and Rick leave the mill. 

Death[]

Killed By

In order to mark a border between the land belonging to the Whisperers and the communities, Alpha disguises herself and infiltrates the fair to lure people off the fairgrounds. Afterward, she decapitates them and then places their heads on wooden pikes to mark the border, with Olivia being among them.

After finding the border, her zombified head is put down by either Carl, Andrea, Dante, or Lydia.
