Anne

Anne, also known by the alias Jadis, is a main character and a former antagonist as well as a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She was the leader of the Scavengers. Following the end of the war against the Saviors, Anne relocates to the Alexandria Safe-Zone. After finding a mortally wounded Rick on the side of the river, Anne fully redeems herself by convincing the helicopter to help save him and together, they both leave to an unknown location to begin a new journey. She served as an antagonist for the second half of Season 7 and the first half of Season 8.

Overview
Anne is shown to be a calm, patient, cunning and duplicitous woman who is a strong leader to those in her group. Under her leadership, she and her people have become adept at using limited resources to their advantage in order to combat the dead as seen by how they are able to make homemade weapons from simple junk and she appears to be extremely successful at keeping her group safe as she has kept many people alive. Anne cares about the well-being of her people and is shown to have a strong desire to obtain large amounts of resources in order to increase the fighting power of her group. It appears that she does not enjoy instigating conflicts with other groups as the motto that she characterizes her group with is; "We take. We don't bother". An unusual trait of Anne's is that she chooses to speak in broken English, rarely using first person pronouns.

However Anne can be a cold hearted and dark person and can be extremely greedy and will do whatever it takes to obtain the resources she desires for her group. This is particularly seen when she only agrees to help Rick and Alexandria fight the Saviors if she is provided with many weapons and supplies and even after Rick brings her a large supply, she demands more. Her greed is further exemplified when she betrays Rick and Alexandria and sides with the Saviors in order to obtain a better deal than offered by Rick. Her cruel side is shown when she throws Rick into a pit to face an armored Walker and later shoots Rick even after he pleads to make a better deal and gives him to Negan, showing that she is willing to allow harm to befall on others, showing that she is most likely a murderer as well. She seems to be a capable fighter and strategic leader as shown by the retreat she orders after the battle at Alexandria, which spares many of her people certain death at the hands of her enemies.

After Simon's betrayal, an emotional Anne shows a love for the great beauty of the world, having chosen her home as a place where she and her people could recreate themselves. She also speaks in full sentences for the first time to Rick and Michonne. While killing all of her zombified people, Anne is emotional at having to end everyone that she cares about.

After the war with the Saviors, Anne chooses to join the other communities so that she won't have to be alone. The loss of her people appears to have driven Anne back to the person she was before she became "Jadis", leader of the Scavengers. As part of this, she continues to speak in full sentences, wears regular clothing instead of her Scavenger outfit and resumes going by her real name of Anne.

After being accused of murdering several missing Saviors, Anne appears to lose her faith in her new friends and suspects Rick of not trusting her. As a result, she experiences a brief return to her old ways and tries to feed Gabriel to a walker as she had done with Rick in the past. During this time, Anne admitted that she really did try to change for the better and when the moment came, she couldn't bring herself to ruthlessly kill Gabriel as she would've in the past. Her change for the better is best shown with how she intercedes on Rick's behalf to save his life after finding him near dead.

Virginia
Nothing is known about Anne's life before or as the outbreak began. She may have lived somewhere in Virginia as she frequently visited a garbage dump to gather materials she could paint on like metal sheets and fabrics. She was also a teacher at some point and took her class to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. once.

Post-Apocalypse
At some point following the outbreak, Anne formed and became the leader of a large group of survivors which would eventually be known as "The Scavengers". For some unknown reason she took on the name Jadis. She and her people eventually took over a junkyard, which became their primary base of operations. She and her people survived by making homemade weapons from junk and scavenging the nearby areas for supplies. Anne herself claims to not enjoy instigating conflicts with other survivors, as her motto for her group is: "We take, we don't bother". However, it is likely she and her group resorted to killing other survivors and attacking camps and settlements to obtain resources. Anne was extremely successful at keeping her group safe and kept as many as 155 people alive. The Scavengers took to speaking in broken English for some reason.

At some point, an ally of hers named Winslow died and reanimated and she had him covered in armor in order to be used as a weapon to test the strength of other survivors who encountered her group, though many failed. It is possible that she somehow knew of the Saviors in advance as shown by her first reaction to Rick's plea for her to help him and his people fight Negan and the Saviors. At some point, she and her people had their eyes on a houseboat filled with supplies that they were waiting to seize, though Rick and Aaron raided it first.

At some point, Anne made a deal with an unknown group in possession of a helicopter in exchange of supplies. She would kidnap people, marking them as a "A" or "B" and deliver them to the helicopter to be taken to an unknown location and to an unknown fate.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Anne has killed:
 * Brion (Indirectly Caused; Zombified)
 * Tamiel (Indirectly Caused; Zombified)
 * At least 2 members of the Militia (Caused)
 * 130 unnamed Scavengers (Caused, Accidental; Zombified)
 * Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people

Relationships
{|

Rick Grimes
Rick and Anne had a poor relationship. Upon first encountering her group, Rick is visibly impressed by their numbers and realizes that they could be useful in fighting Negan and the Saviors. Anne initially refuses to join Rick and his people in their fight but changes her mind after Rick defeats Winslow and after Rick offers her weapons. Even after Rick risks his life to bring her a large arsenal of guns, Anne still demands more, showing that she does not appreciate his efforts and is only concerned with obtaining weapons.
 * "We had a deal!"
 * —Rick after learning of Anne's betrayal.[src]

In "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life", Rick tells Anne that she and her people are now part of what they fight for, showing that he respects her and considers her and her people allies. Anne, however, is revealed to have betrayed Rick and Alexandria by informing Negan and the Saviors of their plans to initiate a war against them, costing them an advantage. Rick is visibly angered by her betrayal, though Anne shows no remorse for it and claims it was done in order to obtain a better deal. After the fighting begins, Rick attempts to make another deal with Anne though she shoots him and kicks him off the platform, showing that she no longer has faith in him and no longer trusts him. Anne personally delivers him to Negan to be punished, showing that she no longer cares for Rick's well-being. After reinforcements arrive, Rick guns down numerous Scavengers, showing that he now considers them enemies and possibly wants to destroy them along with the Saviors.

In spite of her betrayal, Rick still appears to want Anne and her people as allies against the Saviors as he personally goes to the Junkyard to confront Anne and her group to sway them back to his side and make another deal. While negotiating with Anne, Rick notes that she only grazed him with her bullet otherwise he'd still be angry with her.

After Rick beats her in a fight, Anne appears to grow to respect him and agrees to work with Rick. She also expresses a desire to make a naked sculpture of him after everything is over.

Despite agreeing to help Rick deal with the Saviors again, Anne and her people quickly abandon Rick after discovering the Saviors have escaped the Sanctuary and leave him to die, effectively betraying him a second time. When Rick and Michonne arrive at the Junkyard to find that all the Scavengers except Anne have been killed and reanimated, Rick shows no apparent remorse and blames Anne for their deaths. Rick refuses to allow Anne to accompany them and claims that he has had enough of her games and that she is now of no more use to him. Rick even fires a warning shot at Anne before escaping, leaving her by herself. Rick later tells Michonne that he wasn't trying to kill her.

However, after the war is over, Morgan tells Anne that Rick forgives her and wants her to come to Alexandria to live there and help rebuild, putting them on good terms. Rick is subsequently seen to trust Anne and use her as a resource to find supplies.

In "Warning Signs," Anne is hurt when she is suspected of murdering several Saviors, particularly by Rick who asks Gabriel to ask her about it. What Anne misses is the fact that Rick tells Gabriel that he knows Anne didn't do it and trusts her, but the question needs to be asked because he knows others will question her culpability.

As seen in "What Comes After," Anne has grown to greatly care for Rick, calling him a friend who saved her life. Anne returns the favor by getting her friends with the helicopter to take Rick to safety and treat his injuries.

Negan
Not much is known about Negan and Anne's relationship. Anne appears to respect Negan to a degree or simply just admires his power and resources as she willingly betrayed Rick and Alexandria. Anne informed Negan of Rick's plans to initiate a war against the Saviors in order to obtain a better deal than the one offered by Rick, personally delivering Rick to Negan for punishment. Negan, however, does not appear to have much respect for Anne and her people as he appeared disgusted that Rick chose to ally himself with Anne and her group and calls them "filthy garbage people". Negan clearly views Anne and her group as subordinate as even though Anne fulfills her end of the bargain by incapacitating Rick and his people, Negan only agrees to give her 10 new people to add to her group rather than 12 as originally agreed to, and Anne simply agrees, showing that she is possibly afraid of Negan to a degree.
 * "Well, shit, Rick. You just couldn't stick with us, huh? You had to go with these filthy garbage people? No offense."
 * —Negan insulting Anne and her people.[src]

Following the rebellion at Alexandria, Anne eventually realigns herself and her people with Rick, betraying Negan and the Saviors and agreeing to go to war against them, though they quickly abandon Rick after being fired upon. Negan orders Simon to give Anne and her people the usual warning, but Simon disobeys orders and wipes out the Scavengers instead and lies to Negan about it. Following these events, Anne developed a strong hatred towards Negan, Simon and the other Saviors.

Negan later learns the truth from Rick Grimes and is furious as he did not want Anne's people wiped out. Following Negan's fight with Rick, he is captured by Anne who takes the precaution of holding a gun on him and pistol-whips Negan in anger when he speaks.

In "Still Gotta Mean Something" she plans to burn Lucille and kill Negan afterwards. Eventually, Negan admits that the death of the Scavengers is his fault. He later promises that he can fix it by punishing the person responsible for the massacre. As a result, Anne frees Negan and the two seem to be on better terms now.

Tamiel
As one of the senior lieutenants of the Scavengers, Anne and Tamiel appeared to have a very good friendship, Anne, while not appearing concerned told Gabriel Stokes to let Tamiel go after taking her hostage. When Tamiel was fatally shot by Simon, Anne was enraged and punched him in the face. When Anne leads the zombified Scavengers into a meat grinding machine to be pulverized, she watched with sadness as Tamiel was among them.

Brion
As one of the senior lieutenants of the Scavengers, Anne and Brion had a strong friendship and were commonly seen together in scenes. Anne was horrified when Simon unexpectedly killed Brion with a shot to the chest and later punched him in the face for Brion's and Tamiel's murders. When Anne later leads all the zombified Scavengers to a meat grinding machine to be pulverized, she watched with great sadness as Brion was among them.

Norris
Anne and Norris have an extremely hostile relationship. When Simon and his men arrive at the Junkyard, he demands an apology from Anne for her siding with Rick. When Anne apologises, Simon deliberately ignores it and orders his men to murder every one of her group. Only Anne survives and develops a strong hatred for Simon and the Saviors.

Morgan Jones
Morgan and Anne have a good relationship. Even though they have met only once. Morgan convinces Anne to move to Alexandria.

Gabriel Stokes
Anne and Gabriel weren't on good terms at first, considering that he got captured by her and the Scavengers. They don't interact anymore until the war is done.

However, after the events of All Out War and after the timeskip, their relationship seems to have greatly improved, with them walking around and interacting mostly with each other on the run to Washington D.C.

At the camp set up for rebuilding the destroyed bridge, Anne draws a picture for Gabriel and laments that no one trusts her except him and Rick. Gabriel tells her that at first, no one trusted him either until Rick made it possible. She strokes his hand and thanks him for staying on her side.

At night, Anne asks Gabriel who the woman she drew for him was, and he says she was his organist that he loved and lost. She asks him if he is still afraid but is cut short when he kisses her. They smile and start to kiss until Gabriel remembers he's supposed to be on watch, Anne replies with "then watch" and unbuckles his belt.

Trivia

 * As "Jadis", Anne spoke in broken English, opting to speak only in short sentences, and seemed to have a rather limited vocabulary (referring to the top of a hill in the junkyard as the "up up up"). It was later revealed by showrunners that the Scavengers have value for words as well and only used those necessary to express what they mean and that Anne uses stunted English as a way of making others uneasy while she reads their intentions. After the murders of Brion and Tamiel, Anne's rage is so much that she speaks in a full sentence while attacking Simon. After Simon's attack, Anne began speaking in full sentences.
 * As revealed in "The King, the Widow, and Rick", Anne spends her time in the junkyard crafting sculptures out of wiring and other pieces of trash, often entirely nude, save for an apron.
 * As of "The Lost and the Plunderers", Anne is the only member of the Scavengers still alive.
 * Anne's name was not revealed until the episode "Wrath".
 * She is the second known character (after Karen) to have faked her death in order to survive.
 * Interestingly enough, both incidents occurred while their group was being massacred by former allies, and both were nearly discovered/shot at as they played dead by members of the enemy group, being the Governor and Gary, respectively.
 * Anne is the first new survivor to be recruited for the Alexandria Safe-Zone following the war against the Saviors.
