John... Take care of our children and take care of yourself. I'm sorry, I know that doesn't help or explain anything, but it's true. I can't stand watching you and the kids suffer, knowing what's going to happen to me ... and what I'll become. Better to save you that pain. I love you more than anything, Sophie. (sic)
―Michonne reading Sophia's suicide note (Determinant)[src]

Sophia Fairbanks[1] is a character mentioned in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Michonne. She is the wife of John and mother of four children: Greg, Samantha, Alex and James.

Pre-Apocalypse

Chesapeake Bay, Virginia

Sophia had a loving family, consisting of her husband, three sons, and a daughter. She was said to have heart disease.

Post-Apocalypse

In the early days of the apocalypse, Sophia, her family and her daughter Sam's childhood friend Paige fortified their house into a shelter. About two years into the apocalypse, she ended her own life by shooting herself in the head, believing that her heart condition would soon end her life anyway. She left her husband John a suicide note explaining that she did not wish to come back as a zombie and risk hurting the rest of the family. Sophia was buried by John and Sam in the front yard of their home. John lied to their sons Alex and James, their two youngest children, about how their mother died. He told them that her heart condition was the cause, and that she passed away in her sleep, not wanting them to know of her suicide.

The Walking Dead: Michonne

"What We Deserve"
