**Judith Minerva Grimes**, sometimes referred to as **Jude**, is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's *The Walking Dead*. She is the daughter of the late Lori Grimes and Rick Grimes, the younger sister to the late Carl Grimes, and older half-sister to RJ Grimes.

Six years later, Judith is now the adopted daughter of Michonne Grimes and resides with her at the Alexandria Safe-Zone with her younger half brother, RJ. She has also developed a close bond with Negan Smith. Following Michonne's departure to find Rick, Daryl Dixon becomes her parental guardian.

After the war against the Whisperers and the fall of Alexandria, Judith relocates to the Commonwealth alongside her family.

## Overview

Judith appears to be a kind, intelligent and caring young girl mature beyond her years who is more than willing to protect others from harm, as shown when she protects Magna's group from a horde of walkers. Even in her young age, Judith appears to already be very adapt with weapons and fighting against walkers, most likely having been taught how to use them by Michonne Grimes, as she is seen carrying a katana.

## Post-Apocalypse

Judith Grimes is the second child born to Rick and Lori Grimes and is the first infant depicted having been born during the apocalypse. Her parents express hope that she will not live in constant fear as they do, and they wish that she will accept the post-apocalyptic world as the way things are without referencing the way things used to be.

Judith was born on June 20, 2011 in the West Georgia Correctional Facility, but was not immediately named upon her birth, and it took the group several days to decide on the name 'Judith', which was the name of Carl's third grade teacher. Carl also suggests that they name her after Minerva and Sophia suggested it could be her middle name.

## Killed Victims

This list shows the victims Judith has killed:

* Lori Grimes *(Indirectly Caused)*
* Begging Whisperer
* Earl Sutton *(Zombified)*
* Numerous counts of zombies
