## Overview

Mariana appears to be very kind, intelligent, and a caring young woman to the people she cares about. She is very adapt with weapons and fighting against walkers, she was taught by her father pre-apocalypse to fight people who were against him. She is seen always wearing a katana and crossbow.

According to Negan, Ana is a badass like himself but she brushes it off. Later in the series she has a small bond with her biological father but could never forgive him for what he's done to her group, her family.

## Pre-Apocalypse

From a very young age Negan has taught Ana on how to fight so that she can do tasks for him. He made sure that she never missed a shot and that she always had her guard up. She eventually ran away at the age of 16.

### King County, Georgia

In the Grimes Household she was taken in by Chris and Sofia Grimes. Eventually she embraces the new family that she was given with. Ever since she got their she's had a crush on Shane Walsh. The relationship didn't go further until she turned 18 to which they moved to an acquaintance friendship to a romantic one. He would later on dump her to which drove her into the military. Before her 20th birthday she was stationed at the police station where her father, uncle, and Shane worked at. Later before the apocalypse got real bad, Ana was pregnant.

## Post-Apocalypse

Mariana, along with Lori, Rosa, Carl, Shane, and a bed-ridden Rick, still resided in King County when the outbreak occurred. Two weeks into the outbreak, it got too dangerous to stay in King County and the military directed them to Atlanta where a safe-zone was established. Before leaving, Shane tried to gather Rick from the hospital, but returned to Lori, Rosa, Ana, and Carl claiming that Rick had died.

On the road to Atlanta, Ana along with Lori, Rosa, Carl, and Shane were caught in a traffic gridlock. There, they met Carol Peletier, her husband Ed, and their daughters, Sophia and Mini. Shane and Ana became concerned when the radio for the safe-zone stopped playing and believed that they were turning people away--until they discovered that Atlanta had become overrun with the dead and was napalmed by the military for Operation Cobalt.

Along the side of the road was a quarry lake outside of Atlanta. Ana along with Lori, Rosa, Carl, Shane, Carol, Ed, Mini, and Sophia established the survivor camp. They were later joined by people who couldn't make it into the city: brothers Daryl Dixon and Merle Dixon, Glenn Rhee, Theodore Douglas, Morales and his family. Other survivors later joined them who managed to escape from Atlanta: Dale Horvath, sisters Andrea Harrison and Amy Harrison, Jim, and Jacqui.

As time progressed, Ana became extremely vulnerable and, believing Chris, Sofia, and Rick to be dead, began a sexual relationship with Shane again.
