Mara

Mara is a fictional apocalypse survivor and a minor antagonist featured on the AMC television series The Walking Dead. Played by actress Lindsey Garrett, she appeared in the second episode of season eight titled "The Damned".

Biography
Mara was a Caucasian woman with reddish-brown hair in her early twenties. She was a survivor of the zombie apocalypse and lived in the U.S. state of Virginia. She was a member of an extreme militant survivor group known as the Saviors, and operated out of one of their outposts, where she was the leader of a group of men.

An opposing militia force led by Rick Grimes, Maggie Rhee and King Ezekiel attacked the Savior compound in armored vehicles. Mara took cover and instructed her men to press the offensive. The Militia forces allowed walkers into the area, and in short order, the Saviors they had killed began to reanimate. One of the zombie was Dino, who attacked Mara, and ripped out her throat, killing her.

Notes & Trivia



 * In all likelihood, the Militia took measures to destroy Mara's brain to prevent reanimation. As this did not take place on-screen, it is just as likely that she may have been put down after reanimation.


 * Mara is exclusive to the continuity of The Walking Dead television series and has no direct counterpart in The Walking Dead comic book series by Image Comics.
