The Walking Dead: Comic Dub
Autumnastronaut for Michonne Hawthorne
Age: Late 30s to Early 40s - Late 50s to Early 60s (changes throughout the series)
Michonne Hawthorne (pronounced MI-SHOWN) is a main character first encountered in Issue 19 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead as well as the protagonist of the Michonne Special. She is a lone survivor who originally traveled with two zombies before eventually joining the prison group. Armed with a katana and deadly skills to complement it, Michonne is an effective and crucial defender of the survivors.
Michonne is strong willed, introverted, practical, and skeptical. She is constantly surveying her surroundings, and is quick to size up a situation and its potential dangers. She is very skeptical of seemingly good people and situations, and takes everything at face value. Despite her introversion due to post-apocalyptic trauma, Michonne claims to have once been quite gregarious. With this internal conflict, Michonne, perhaps to a fault, too easily falls in love with men she interacts with. Her true self is further repressed each time her lovers meet their fates, despite Michonne knowing full well how short life can be in the new world. Michonne acknowledges just how far gone she is, and this constantly pains her. From losing all of her past lovers to abandoning her children, she has become someone she hates. She often exclaims her disdain for being seen as strong, because she thinks others see her as nothing more than a warrior and a weapon. Despite this, she is extremely loyal to her friends, and has developed a very close relationship with the Grimes family. Michonne tends to work alone and quietly, but still fights for the survivors' defense as strongly as the other active defenders. She is frequently referred to and perceived by the other characters as one of the strongest members of the survivors, and frequently participates in the violent, but necessary, actions of the group. Despite her experiences, Michonne has proved her worth to the group, not only in her practical skills with her katana, but also in her constant participation in moving the survivors forward and keeping the group safe.

Disclaimer: Michonne is involved in some sexually explicit scenes, including rape.
Michonne is one of the most vital, important, and interesting characters to the entire series, lasting all the way to the very end. She's very complicated emotionally, so it'll be a real acting challenge to pull off.
She COULD have a deep to mid-ranged voice and COULD have stoic, quieter, weary and/or badass qualities to her voice, but don't let these limit your vocal choices at all.
"Wake up, asshole. Finally--I thought you were never going to wake up. You passed out a second time when I nailed your prick to the board you're on. Do you remember that? I wouldn't do much moving if I were you. Don't worry about the little girl--I put her in the back room--where you had all this junk. What are you doing--building a cage for your little--sex slave? Why do you have her here anyway? I don't even want to know. I'm anxious to get started."
—Michonne (Late 30s to Early 40s) angrily to The Governor, preparing to torture him.
"I was trying to humor you and see this through, it just seemed like the fastest way to get this over with. It's not fast enough. My daughter. I thought I'd lost her. I haven't seen her since this all began... Somehow, she's here. Somehow, she's alive. There was a picture of me--on your "wall of the lost" or whatever it's called, and she's looking for me. So if it's all the same to you... You want to sell me on the Commonwealth, bring me over to your side? Why don't you let me hear it from her?"
—Michonne (Late 30s to Early 40s) asking Pamela Milton if she can see her daughter.
"Michonne was someone who carried a lot of guilt. It haunted her... had her talking to ghosts, pushing people away, and forgetting who she was. Hawthorne was my ex-husband's name. I never changed it after the divorce because my practice knew me under that name. Eventually, the name was just a painful reminder of a failed marriage and lost children. So I hid from it... and who I was. Now? I feel like I earned it back, the work I've done, what I've accomplished. It's who I am now. I never would have been able to do that without your father... and the world he built. There are some people out there who feel like your father gets too much credit. There were so many of us helping him along the way. Sure. But I feel like he still doesn't get enough credit. So every time I have a chance to set something right or honor the man in some small way--I take it."
—Michonne (Late 50s to Early 60s) to Carl about Rick.
