----
* {{Canon Foreigner}}s: Every single one of them doesn't have a comic counterpart.
* TheBadGuysAreCops: She heads Grady Memorial, a society based upon indentured servitude where the police can be as corrupt as they like.
* IndenturedServitude: Summed up in their motto of "you consumed resources, now you have to give back something in return."
* PoliceBrutality: Invoked when Noah mentions [[spoiler:the officers killed his father because he was too strong to be kept under control.]]
* SexSlave: Some of the female patients are forced to serve male officers as part of the "give back" program.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Christine Woods
An Atlanta Police Department officer leading a group of police officers that rescues/kidnaps injured survivors, heals them and keep them performing supporting jobs at the hospital until they are no longer needed
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her heart is as black as her hair and uniform.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Confirmed by WordOfGod she suffers from [[SuperOCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder]].
* AntiVillain: She forces patients to perform menial tasks at the hospital and allows [[spoiler: some of her male police officers to rape female patients]] to keep the community going.
* ArcVillain: For Season 5, as Rick and co. will likely cross paths with her group for a RescueArc involving Beth.
* BadCopIncompetentCop: No angel herself, but she's at least not as corrupt as Gorman, being seemingly disturbed by [[spoiler: Gorman and some of the other cops raping female survivors but being unwilling to do anything about it]].
* BigBad: From the fourth episode of the fifth season onwards, presumably.
* CanonForeigner: She didn't appeared in the comics.
* DarkActionGirl: Presumably and likely so.
* DealWithTheDevil: That's how Joan refers to Dawn's "compromises" to keep the hospital community running.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Shane in many ways. She is implied to have killed her friend and police partner for being a good man who got people killed (succeed where Shane failed) and adjusted her worldview to survive in the ZombieApocalypse while still holding out hope that they will be rescued at some point.
* DirtyCoward: Joan calls her this for allowing cops like Gorman abuse them
* FairCop: Downgraded because of the uniform and neatly tied up hair.
* IronLady: She rules with an iron fist.
* {{Jerkass}}: She hits Beth for no reason when frustrated, and later beats Noah with Gorman. [[spoiler: She also turns a blind eye to Gorman raping other survivors.]]
* KickTheDog: Repeatedly hits Beth when she's angry, for no reason. At least when she helped beat Noah she could use the flimsy excuse of discouraging further mistakes.
* TheLeader: Of the Grady Memorial Hospital group.
* MoodSwinger: She hits Beth for no real reason other then spite. Dr. Edwards even states that she has good and bad days, with the latter being empathized.
* NecessarilyEvil: She justifies her acts as keeping Grady Hospital together until aid arrives. However she's deluded, as no help is coming, so all her cruelty is for nothing.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Beth... and ends up [[ShutUpHannibal getting one from her.]]
* TheStarscream: Another police officer named Hanson had been in charge of the hospital survivors, but according to Lerner and Dr. Edwards, he made some mistakes and got people killed. Edwards mentions that Dawn "dealt with" Hanson and took over, and she later mentions to Beth that a "good man" made mistakes that got people killed and that she would not allow that to happen again.
* WeJustNeedToWaitForRescue: She is convinced that help will one day arrive, and that the hospital survivors just have to keep going on with their "society" so they can help rebuild once rescue comes. [[spoiler:When Beth tells her that rescue is not coming for them, it ''breaks'' her.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Believes her actions, which tantamount to running the hospital like a female prison from an exploitation film, are for the greater good while the government regains control of the city.
* WorkOffTheDebt: The society she has set up is basically IndenturedServitude. They rescue/abduct people from the wilderness, use their supplies to treat them, then force the abductees to work off the value of the medicine used. However these workers then still need to eat while working, so the cost of food keeps the debt high.
