Penny Blake was the daughter of Philip Blake. At some point during the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, Penny died and was reanimated as one of the undead. Philip was devastated. When he rose to beoome the veritable "Governor" of Woodbury, he kept his zombie daughter locked up in a room in the basement of his home. Philip became obsessed with finding a cure for the virus and enlisted the aide of scientist Milton Mamet to help him.
One of the Governor's enemies, Michonne, fought with Blake in his personal sanctum. Upon finding his daughter, he ran her through with her katana, ending Penny's existence once and for all. In the ensuing battle with the Governor, Michonne also took out his right eye. [2]
