Laura

Laura is a former antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She was a high-ranking member of the Saviors, and was one of Negan's most trusted Saviors after Simon's betrayal and demise. Three years after Rick Grimes' assumed death, Laura is now a resident of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, serving on its leadership council.

Overview
Laura is shown to be an intelligent, cunning and initially cruel person who is a strong, determined survivor. She is described as having a wild and reckless side and enjoys having "fun" as seen when she plays table hockey with Dwight. She is shown to have a somewhat of a free-spirited side as seen when she flirted with Spencer and offered to take him back to her compound presumably in order to get together with him, although it seems this was more a result of him actually scavenging supplies and fulfilling Negan's orders rather than genuine interest in him.

Laura demonstrated extreme loyalty to the Saviors and seemed to fully support with their savage lifestyle and was shown to be cruel to the members of communities that her group extorted from. As seen when she threatened Eugene and held Rick at gunpoint in order to prevent him from interfering with Aaron being brutally beaten. Her loyalty is further proven, as she is easily angered at any disrespect towards her group, and being apathetic towards the extreme violence that Negan and the Saviors commonly engaged. Forcing Eugene to watch Negan burn Emmett Carson alive while he tried to look away in horror. She is likely a murderer herself and would've killed Dwight after he betrayed their group following the attack on Alexandria by making them fall in to ambush led by Daryl. Laura escaped the ambush and made it a personal mission to make it back to the Sanctuary despite being injured in order to gain revenge and expose him as the Militia's spy. Showing she has no remorse and will rat out anyone who falls out of line.

In spite of her loyalty to Negan, she is not fundamentally a bad person who wishes for the extermination of the other communities. After suffering heavy losses, Laura leads the Saviors in surrendering to the Militia and fully embraces the peace with the other communities. When people from the other communities arrive at the Sanctuary, Laura, now working as a gardener, goes so far as to give Rosita Espinosa a friendly nod and shows no ill will towards her former enemies.

A year and a half after Negan's defeat, Laura is shown to be fully reformed and often acts as a mediator between the Saviors and the rest of the communities, preferring to solve conflicts peacefully. During the bridge construction, she and Arat are the only Saviors to show no hostility towards the other survivors and, in fact, try to deescalate the conflict. She also doesn't join Jed and the other Saviors when they go back to the campsite to raid it. Three years later, she is fully integrated into and trusted by Alexandria and has become a member of its leadership council.

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Laura's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she had a boyfriend.

Washington, D.C.
At some point in the apocalypse after losing her boyfriend, Laura somehow came into contact with a group named "the Saviors" which she subsequently joined upon where she was appointed as one of Negan's personal lieutenants.

Laura aided her group in terrorizing other survivors and communities around the area into subjugating to Negan's will, where their victims would be forced to give half their supplies in exchange for not being murdered.

Killed By

 * Herself (Caused)
 * Beta

In an attempt to protect Mary as she runs to the streets for help, Laura attacks Beta by jumping on his back. Beta, however, manages to overpower her, picks her up, and swings her around so her head bounces off each cell bar before slamming her to the ground, breaking her neck and killing her instantly.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Laura has killed:


 * Alfred (Zombified, alongside her fellow Alexandrians)
 * Alexandria Guard (Zombified, alongside her fellow Alexandrians)
 * Panicked Woman (Zombified, alongside her fellow Alexandrians)
 * Herself (Caused)
 * 6 unnamed Alexandria residents (Zombified, alongside her fellow Alexandrians)
 * Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people

Dwight
Laura and Dwight, at first have a good working relationship. The pair played pool together and often went on missions. Their semi-good friendship was ended after Dwight betrayed Laura and the Saviors by deliberately leading them into an ambush. Laura witnessed in horror when Dwight gunned down their whole team to aid the Militia. She was forced to run away from the carnage but eventually got picked up by Negan and returned to the Sanctuary, where she blew Dwight's cover as an double agent. They both eventually go back to that relationship after the Savior war. Dwight to saddened when he learns that she was killed by "Beta".

Spencer Monroe
Laura seems to like Spencer and even flirts with him when he brings back supplies to Alexandria for the Saviors to collect. When Spencer is killed, however, Laura shows no emotion, meaning that she was possibly just manipulating Spencer into being a productive worker or, instead, was afraid to show emotion for Negan's victim, so as not to incur her leader's wrath.

Negan
Laura and Negan have a good relationship. Laura is loyal to Negan's following.

Eugene Porter
At first Laura seems indifferent of Eugene when she takes him to his room and the Sanctuary. But as time went on it seems she trusts Eugene as a productive member of the Saviors. Her trust is clearly broken when he sabotages their weapons which ends up to the Saviors losing the war. As of the time skip it is unclear where their relationship stands.

Judith Grimes
In the six year jump after the apparent death of Rick Grimes, Laura became a fully integrated member of Alexandria, and seems to look after Judith along with the rest of the community, nicknaming her "Jude" and is even comfortable reprimanding her when she wanders off to save Magna's group.
