[[caption-width-right:350:''"And years from now, when they write about this plague in the history books, they will write about Woodbury."'']]

->''"Welcome to Woodbury!"''
-->-- '''The Governor'''

A walled town in Georgia with over 70 survivors and many pre-apocalyptic comforts. What initially seems to be an idyllic oasis is revealed to have a dark underbelly, as Woodbury is run by the tyrannical Governor, who robs and kills outsiders and stages gladiator fights to entertain the populace. They wage war with Rick's group, losing dozens of their own, before the Governor's true nature is revealed, at which point they join their former enemy at the prison. The abandoned town is later burned to the ground by the Governor, who later kills the few Woodbury survivors in his final attack on the prison.
----

* AdaptationExpansion: We get to see what their day to day life is and meet more characters than in the comics.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Woodbury becomes part of Michonne and Tyreese's respective {{Story Arc}}s before officially joining Rick's group. In the comics, they both encountered Woodbury while already being members on Rick's team.
* BreadAndCircuses: The town features staged fighting matches between soldiers, complete with defanged zombies.
* CelebrityParadox: During the penultimate episode of Season 2, Rick mentions Senoia, Georgia, the city that stands in for Woodbury.
* CompositeCharacter: Many of the Governor's soldiers take aspects from Bruce and Gabe from the comics, being active participants in his more dubious actions.
* DeathByAdaptation: In the comics and novels Woodbury actually lasts for quite a while even after the Governor's death, and when it does eventually fall apart there's still some survivors left. In the show, a large majority of its residents are killed throughout Season 3 and the town is abandoned and destroyed long before the Governor meets his end in the mid-Season 4 finale. And the remaining Woodbury residents are killed either during the final prison attack or shortly afterwards by the flu.
* DisasterScavengers: The Woodbury army loots and scavenges for supplies, including killing other groups to get them.
* GladiatorGames: The Governor occasionally held fights for the crowd's entertainment.
* KillEmAll: As of "Too Far Gone", all of the original Woodbury survivors are dead. Most of them are killed during their war with Rick's group, while the survivors die as a result of the flu or the Governor's final attack.
* KilledOffScreen: {{Word Of God}} states that ''all'' of the Woodbury residents are dead, which means that those who inexplicably vanished from the show actually died either when the Governor kills the majority of them or when the flu killed off the rest of them.
* NotUsingTheZWord: They call zombies "biters."
* RedshirtArmy: They lose dozens of unnamed soldiers in their war with the prison.
* StepfordSuburbia: The town seems too good to be true. It is.
* TownWithADarkSecret: The citizens are largely unaware that the Governor is a psychopath.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Kylie Ann Syzmanski
!!!'''Appearances: ''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 3)

The Governor's daughter, she was turned into a walker some time prior to the meeting with the prison group. Unable to cope with his loss, The Governor kept her captive in his apartment and continued to care for her, not believing she was truly dead. Michonne discovers her during the raid on Woodbury, and, disgusted, kills her. The grieving Governor swears vengeance upon Michonne and it leads to a brutal war with Rick's group.
----
* AgeLift: Her comic counterpart seems to be around 6-7 years old while she's around 8-10.
* DeathByAdaptation: In the comic, it is later revealed that Lilly Caul [[MercyKill mercy "killed"]] her after she killed the Governor during the fall of the prison. Here, Michonne impales her through the mouth from the back of the head in her second appearance.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Through the mouth from the back by Michonne.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: For the Governor, though her "living" is as a zombie by that point. When she is killed a second time, he has a VillainousBreakdown.
* MythologyGag: The Governor mentions that had he been murderour from the start of the outbreak, Penny would still be alive, most likely referencing her death by hostile survivors in the novels.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her entire wardrobe is pink and very feminine.
* TwoFirstNames: Blake can be used as a gender neutral first name.
* UndeadChild: Doesn't stop the Governor from brushing her hair, singing her songs, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick locking her in a closet with a chain around her neck and a burlap sack on her head]].

!!''Milton Mamet''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milton_mamet_twdtv_5842.jpg]]
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/DallasRoberts
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Season 3)

Milton is the Governor's chief scientist who conducts experiments on the zombies, attempting to learn how they function and ways to control them. He is the only member of Woodbury who knew the Governor before the ZombieApocalypse. Milton turns on the Governor when he realizes how insane he has become, but is murdered by him.
----
* AlliterativeName: His first and last name starts with an ''M''.
* AmbiguousDisorder: His aversion to human interaction, lack of social skills, and focus on his work suggests he has some kind of disorder, which was [[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/29/dallas-roberts-milton-marnet-on-the-walking-deads-awesome-season-finale?abthid=5156086672815dea02000019 confirmed by Dallas Roberts in an interview]].
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: The Governor stabs him and leaves him locked in a room with Andrea so that when he dies and turns he will kill her. This plan succeeds, and Milton's zombie bites her on the collarbone before she manages to put him down.
* ApocalypticLog: He is recording as many events as possible that occurred in the ZombieApocalypse to make sure that there is a history of at least some of the things that happened. When he meets Hershel, he asks questions about the different events that have happened to his group and how they dealt with them to add to his history.
* BadLiar: Whenever Milton is required to lie, he tends to break out into a pretty strong stutter, complete with a lot of "uh's." Also, when the Governor asks him if he was involved in the walkers Woodbury wanted to use for its raid on the prison being burned, he literally doesn't even try to respond. He just contemplates for a few seconds, then walks away silently.
* CompositeCharacter: In the comics, Alice Warren wanted to study walkers.
* TheConsigliere: He may not be TheDragon, but The Governor treats him as his most trusted ally, until "Prey".
* DecompositeCharacter: His HeelFaceTurn and his disapproval of the Governor's methods are similar to the comic version of Dr. Stevens.
* TheDogBitesBack: After being punched and tortured by the Governor for betraying him and then ordered to murder Andrea, Milton attempts to stab the Governor but fails and is stabbed.
* TheEvilGenius: In a PunchClockVillain kind of way for the Governor's inner circle.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Calmly instructs Andrea on how to escape while dying.
* FakeGuestStar: He appears in almost every episode after his debut, and plays a key role in the events of Season 3.
* FriendlyEnemy: To the main cast. Milton is just doing things ForScience, so despite being on the "opposite team", he makes chit chat with Hershel in "Arrow on the Doorpost" and doesn't antagonize the others. Too bad he is firmly in the thrall of the Governor and spying for him.
* GuttedLikeAFish: He gets stabbed in the stomach and left to die a slow death by the Governor, so that when he comes back as a walker he will eat a tied up Andrea.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: The Governor has been his (best) friend way before the ZombieApocalypse began.
* HiddenBadass: He torches the Governor's zombie pit to impair the Governor in his attack on the prison. When tortured afterwards, the Governor remarks that he never thought Milton had the courage to do something like that.
* HonestAdvisor: One of his jobs for the Governor.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He knows the Governor has gone off the deep end in his desire to kill Michonne and kill the prison group, but refuses to leave because Philip was Milton's best friend since before the apocalypse, and he still thinks that the man he knew exists in the Governor. He's wrong, and gets killed by the Governor.
* TheMole:
** He at first informs the Governor of Andrea's actions to go to the prison the first time, after Andrea trusted Milton to help her.
** Later, he assists Andrea in escaping Woodbury.
* NiceGuy: He's rather polite around pretty much anyone, and has a very kind and civil conversation with [[TokenReligiousTeammate Hershel]] when they meet.
* NonActionGuy: He's clearly uncomfortable outside of his lab, especially when going with Merle to get fresh walkers for the Woodbury arena.
* NoSocialSkills: He's pretty helpless when trying to talk to people. He either comes off as creepy or completely flustered depending on who he is talking to.
* PunchClockVillain: He does not approve of many of the actions the Governor has taken with regards to the National Guard group and prison survivors.
* ReluctantMadScientist: While he may disapprove of some of the Governor's actions, he has no problem experimenting upon walkers and trying to figure out how they work.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The absolute sensitive guy to both the Governor and Merle's manly man.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He's the scientific advisor to the Governor, and is one of the only people in the entire show with glasses.
* SpotOfTea: He makes a very good cup of tea that the Governor enjoys. [[WordOfGod According to an executive producer]], it's an in-joke about a writer who loves drinking tea.
* TokenGoodTeammate: When the Governor starts to go off the deep end, he graduates to this from PunchClockVillain. He is the only member of the Governor's inner circle who argues against the decision to kill Rick's group, allows Andrea to escape to warn them, and burned the captured walkers so they can't be used against the prison.
* ZombieAdvocate: His main project seems to be finding out whether or not the walkers have any semblance of humanity left. Possibly because he has relatively little experience dealing with them. It's implied the main reason he's trying to find out is because the Governor hopes that his undead daughter still has some semblance of humanity or memories of her father left.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Jose Pablo Cantillo
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (Seasons 3-4)

Martinez is a member of the Woodbury militia and one of the Governor's most trusted soldiers. His family was killed by walkers, giving him an extreme hatred of the undead. After the Governor massacred most of his army, Martinez abandoned him and formed his own group of survivors, later reencountering the Governor with the Chambler family. When The Governor realizes he knows too much about his past with Woodbury, he kills his former lieutenant when offered a joint leadership of the group, and takes over.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's more action oriented and has more fight scenes compared to the comics.
* AdaptationalSexuality: His comic counterpart was gay according to Robert Kirkman, but here he mentions a dead wife and kids.
* AdaptationalVillainy: ZigZagged. Compared to his AmbiguouslyEvil comic counterpart, he is TheDragon of the group opposed to the heroes' group in the show. However, he's an AntiVillain who's not that different from them.
* AntiVillain: He's not that different from the members of Rick's group and wants to do whatever it takes to protect Woodbury. Unfortunately, he is under the command of insane dictator and is willing to KickTheDog to ensure Woodbury's security. He does look uncomfortable or outright horrified with several of the Governor's actions as well, but never verbally objects to them, even when the Governor murders the entirety of the Woodbury Militia. However, he does later abandon the Governor and start his own group, whose members seem to genuinely look up to and support Martinez.
* BatterUp: His primary melee weapon, which has "eat me" engraved on it.
* BeardOfEvil: Shorter than that of Shumpert.
* BloodKnight: It's subtle, but he clearly enjoys killing walkers more than most. He explains to Daryl that it is because they killed his family.
* BullyingADragon: Taunting the Governor more than helps bring about his death.
* CerebusRetcon: Him being a BloodKnight towards walkers stemmed from the death of his family at their hands (or mouths).
* CrusadingWidower: His family was killed by walkers.
* DanceBattler: Is seen using Capoeira against Merle during their "fight".
* ADeathInTheLimelight: He gets much more screentime and characterization in the episode "Dead Weight" than in any of his previous appearances, although he dies roughly halfway through the episode.
* DecompositeCharacter: The bulk of comic Martinez's storyline, including his death, goes to Bob Lamson in Season 5.
* DevouredByTheHorde: His ultimate fate when the Governor feeds him to a pit of captive walkers, in Season 4's "Dead Weight".
* TheDragon: Originally TheBrute, he becomes this to the Governor after Merle is accused of treason.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Had a wife and kids that got killed by walkers.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's visibly shocked when the Governor kills everyone in the Woodbury militia except him and Shumpert.
* GoKartingWithBowser: He and Daryl share cigarettes and get to know each other while Rick and the Governor attempt negotiations.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: After the Governor joins his group, he decides that Martinez is a liability due to knowing the truth about him.
* HiddenDepths: Although he acts like an antagonistic {{Jerkass}} to Daryl, after they fight walkers together they bond over cigarettes and Martinez reveals that he enjoys fighting walkers so much because he lost his family to them. He also becomes the leader of his own camp in Season 4, and his people look up to and respect him.
* IdiotBall[=/=]TooDumbToLive: Playing golf with a man he knows to be dangerous while drunk, alone, and unarmed.
* IntimidationDemonstration: Flamboyantly dispatches several Walkers right in front of Daryl, showing what he's capable of. Daryl follows suit.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's pretty rude to both Andrea and Daryl, although he and Daryl reach a bit of an understanding.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has a soft spot for children, going out of his way to save some a couple of times. He is also pretty affable and friendly to everybody after starting his own group.
* KarmicDeath: He was very supportive on the Governor's tactics to use walkers as weapons against people and created the walker pits to capture them. When he's DevouredByTheHorde when dropped into one of his own pits it is kind of ironic.
* LaserGuidedKarma[=/=]HoistByHisOwnPetard: As stated in the above trope, he dies from his own walker pit by the man he thought he could trust.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone just calls him Martinez.
* TheMusketeer: Uses a Heckler & Koch [=MP5K=] as his main gun and switches to a baseball bat for close quarters.
* NiceHat: He's always seen wearing a backwards baseball cap in the first half of Season 3, but starts wearing it less in the second half.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: His children were killed by Walkers, giving him an extreme hatred of them that has turned him into a BloodKnight.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The night after the failed prison assault, Martinez, along with Shumpert, abandon the Governor when they realize he's lost his mind. He and the Governor meet again, though.
* SleevesAreForWimps: The only time he has a shirt with sleeves is when he wears a blue hoodie briefly before his gladiator fight. When it becomes fall in the latter half of Season 3 he starts wearing a brown jacket due to the cold weather.
* SmugSnake: When he gets his own group, Martinez believes that he's above the Governor and starts to rub his leadership in his face. Turns out the Governor saw through this and killed him.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: He survived a lot longer than his comic counterpart, possibly owing to taking a quite different tack from the drawn version of the character. Until he was killed in Season 4's "Dead Weight", anyway.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Survives with Shumpert and the Governor in Season 3 and becomes the leader of his own group in Season 4, but he is killed by the Governor halfway through "Dead Weight".

* WalkingShirtlessScene: In his gladiator battle against Merle, which shows how ripped he is.
* WeaponTwirling: Has a habit of twirling his baseball bat before caving in a walker's head.
* WeCanRuleTogether: A subverted example. Martinez believes he's the top dog when he offers to rule his group with The Governor as equals, but The Governor isn't having it and kills him, leaving him as the group's leader.
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Daryl one.

* VillainousBSOD: Shumpert's temperament changed for the worse after the massacre, which Martinez mentions led to his death.
