Quote
  • "She's hit rock bottom. It's been an honor for me to portray PTSD . And that's what you hope - you hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel; you hope that you can cross over to the other side, and find a reason to live again. And not just live, but thrive. And that's what I'm hoping that she finds - a way to respond correctly to the deaths of her most loved ones..."

  • Sasha Williams is a fictional character (portrayed by Sonequa Martin-Green) from The Walking Dead, an AMC television horror drama series. The character was created by Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead comic book series which the show is based on and in which Sasha has no counterpart. Sasha, a former firefighter before the apocalypse, is among a large group of survivors (a total of 25 at one point) from Jacksonville, Florida, led by her older brother, Tyreese (Chad Coleman). In Atlanta, Georgia, the group comprises five people when they encounter Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group of survivors in the prison but are quickly thrown out by an emotionally unstable Rick. Sasha and Tyreese then encounter The Governor (David Morrissey) and Woodbury but after learning of the monster he truly is, she returns to the prison with the other newcomers, becoming a council member on behalf of the community. Sasha also forms a romantic attraction with fellow survivor Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.) but is also one of the victims of the illness that affects the prison, of which she and Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) are the only survivors, but following the destruction of the prison in The Governor's last attack she, Bob and Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) are separated from Tyreese and the others. In this time she forms a relationship with Bob as she, reluctantly, helps Maggie to find Glenn and after reuniting with Rick and the others she is reunited with Tyreese. Sasha is a key player in the encounter with Gareth (Andrew J. West) and the survivors of Terminus and becomes the primary lookout for the Alexandria Safe-Zone in the bell tower, but becomes more hardened and unstable when she loses Bob and Tyreese. After arriving in Alexandria she forms a bond with Sgt. Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) which later becomes romantic. Her last name is confirmed to be "Williams" as revealed in a featurette for the fifth season Blu-ray and DVD. Sasha has been described as a realist who demonstrates a pragmatic approach to survival. Martin-Green called Sasha a "team player on the outside but a loner on the inside", who combats the world through her protective and defensive nature.
