The Walking Dead Villains: Who’s The Worst? Part 9

Jocelyn

Jocelyn kind of came out of the blue and was only around for one episode, but, man, did she make her presence felt.

Jocelyn was a friend of Michonne’s from school, who’d managed to survive the apocalypse up to a few months after Rick’s disappearance. Michonne was happy to have an old friend back, but, that happiness was shattered within a few hours when it turned out that Jocelyn was gone…along with Judith and the other children of Alexandria.

It turned out that, like so many people, the apocalypse had changed Jocelyn, or, at least, brought out a dark side of her. She was not, as she originally presented herself, selflessly watching over a group of orphans, she was, in fact, the leader of a cult of children and teenagers that she had indoctrinated into being an army of killers, and, if what she was trying to do to Judith and the others was any indication, she recruited them not necessarily by finding orphans, but, by kidnapping children to add to her thrall.

She trained her child soldiers (I’m talking literal child soldiers, not the teenagers The Governor had at his disposal) to torture and murder people, and one can only assume, she’d been doing it for quite a long time.

Worse still, when Michonne confronted her, Jocelyn had a kid brand Michonne and Daryl, and attempt to slice her open with her own katana! Then, as Michonne pursued, she proceeded to wail on Michonne with a plank! Oh…did I mention that Michonne was pregnant when all of this was going on? Yeah, that’s pretty important to remember in all of this.

But, the piece de resistance was what we learned after she died: Jocelyn had instructed the children to, in her absence, kill the children of Alexandria!

I don’t know what happened to Jocelyn, but, nothing excuses kidnapping kids, indoctrinating them into some sort of death cult, and then instructing them to kill other children. NOTHING.
