Jadis

Jadis is a fictional survivalist and a supporting character featured on the AMC survival horror series The Walking Dead. Played by actress Pollyanna McIntosh, she was introduced in the tenth episode of season seven, "New Best Friends".

Biography
Jadis was a Caucasian female in her apparent thirties with short dark hair and an intense demeanor. She was the leader of a survivalist group operating out of Virginia called the Scavengers, who were based out of a junkyard called "The Heap". Jadis was one of the few members of the group who spoke aloud, and even when she did, it was in a minimalist sentence structure.

Rick Grimes and his group were discovered and captured by the Scavengers, who surrounded them. Rick saw their numbers and recognized that they would make strong allies. He struck a deal with Jadis, petitioning her for the group's help in their pending conflict against the Saviors. Jadis agreed to help them fight the Saviors, but first Rick and his people needed to provide them with guns - a resource that was in very short supply to Rick's group. To test Rick's mettle, Jadis had him cast into a pit of debris, where he had to fight his way out by defeating a spiked walker named Winslow. Rick succeeded in this, and clawed his way out of the pit, at which point Jadis agreed to help him - provided that he could hold up his end of the bargain first.

Rick and Michonne came upon a high school near a fairground where they had the great fortune of finding Army zombies who had weapons on them. After dispatching the walkers, they collected more than sixty-three guns and brought them to Jadis. Jadis demanded more however, and they entered negotiations again.
