Toni Hawthorne

Antoinette "Toni" Hawthorne is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. She is the younger sister to Michonne Grimes, the wife to Hazel Greene, adoptive mother to Athena Hawthorne, the aunt to RJ Grimes and the late Andre Anthony, and the adoptive aunt to Alina Pierce, Judith Grimes, Alek and Lucy Walsh, TJ Williams, Cecelia Oliva, Hershel Rhee, Glenn and Lori Oliva.
Toni withdrew into solitude perfecting her swordsmanship and becoming a dark and ruthless warrior along with her sister. After the Greene family farm was overrun by zombies, Toni encountered Andrea along with Michonne and began to open up as the three developed a close friendship while surviving the winter together.
Eventually, they encountered the Governor and were brought to Woodbury. Andrea decided to remain at Woodbury but Toni, sensing that The Governor couldn't be trusted, left and soon encountered Rick Grimes and the Survivors. Though initially distrustful of each other, Toni eventually entered an intimate relationship with Hazel Greene. Six years after Rick's assumed death, Toni is now Michonne and Mariana's right-hand woman.
== Overview ==
Toni is both a tough and a good hearted survivor, like her sister. She tends to work alone and keeps much of her past secret, even towards Andrea, but possesses a keen sense of intuition. Toni once said that she "trusts her gut" when it comes to other survivors. When she first comes to the group she is very quiet. As time goes on, however, she gradually opens up to the group, specifically Hazel, and becomes accepted by the whole group.
== Pre-Apocalypse ==
=== Atlanta, Georgia ===
Toni grew up in Georgia, although not much is known about her early life. She originated from a middle-class academic realm family, where she grew up with a keen interest in politics. During her time in college, she was captain of the cheer team and was in honors.
== Post-Apocalypse ==
At the onset of the outbreak, Toni found a katana upon which she honed her survival skills to perfection as a result of encountering and killing walkers day-by-day. Sometime later Toni, Michonne, Mike, Terry, and Andre journeyed to a refugee camp where they settled. Over time, several members abandoned the camp due to events worsening. Toni wanting to leave but Michonne said it would get better, often Toni arguing with her sister from time to time.
After arriving back from a supply run, both Toni and Michonne tragically discovered the camp had been overrun. At the time, Mike and Terry had been high on drugs and were unable to fight, which resulted in Andre being devoured by walkers and the two becoming bitten. Experiencing bitterness and hatred, both sisters coldly allowed them to turn, amputated their arms and lower jaws and chained them up.
For the next months, Toni and her sister traveled with them closely behind them at all times to avoid being seen by walkers, as their undead status provided camouflage. Morally broken from her losses, Toni spent her time aimlessly surviving only with her sister, keeping low and avoiding all contact with other survivors who she encountered.
