Olivia

As the Alexandrian in charge of bookkeeping food and weapons, Olivia had a smile that was hard to ignore. She enjoyed living in Alexandria while we watched her interact with Carol in her suburb attire.

She opened her doors to Enid when she first arrived in Alexandria and coddled Judith on more than one occasion. Though she frightened easy she was braver than she appeared.

When The Wolves ambushed the unsuspecting citizens Carol entrusted Olivia with a gun to use if necessary. We never got to see Olivia use it however she accepted it, took her position as ordered ready to attack.

She took her job seriously to the point she was just surprised as Rick when it was revealed some weapons were missing. Negan may have terrified her the first time they met, however when he had the nerve to make a vulgar suggestion and pass at her she was more than willing to retaliate with a slap heard around the world.

Even after knowing what he had done and continued to do to her friends and community she still had the nerve to give Negan a little taste of her answer. Unfortunately, the last time we see her is in the episode Hearts Still Beating of season 7 and truth be told, if she had lived she may have become a stronger asset to Alexandria in All Out War.

She, like Carol, could have risen from being fearful to being feared.
