"I was gone for a very long time..but then Andrea brought me back."

- Michonne

MichAndrea is the femslash ship between Michonne Hawthorne and Andrea from the The Walking Dead fandom.

Season 3
It is revealed in season three that Andrea and Michonne (the hooded figure with pet Walkers that saved Andrea's life in the season 2 finale) have taken shelter at a game cooler. Michonne raids a pharmacy for medicine because of Andrea's sickness from influenza, and when she comes back, Andrea unsuccessfully tries to convince Michonne to leave her, saying she can handle herself. Andrea however is successful at convincing Michonne that they need to move out now and find a new place before walkers surround their current location. Andrea, Michonne, and her two pet Walkers make it out of the back entrance of the game building.

While traveling on the road, Andrea and Michonne come across a plume of smoke rising in the distance, going to investigate, they discover a crashed helicopter with "survivors". Andrea stays hidden in the bushes while Michonne investigates, until the arrival of The Governor (Philip Blake) and the Woodbury Residents. When Michonne's pet walkers start making noise and put Andrea in danger, she slices both of their heads off to prevent the men from detecting their presence. However, a person sneaks up behind them, and a man's voice is heard as he tells them to lower their weapons and turn around. As Andrea and Michonne comply, the man holding them at gunpoint is revealed to be Merle Dixon. Merle grins at them both, surprised to see Merle, Andrea passes out. Late in the car during their ride to Woodbury, Andrea, before going unconscious, calls out for Michonne in her sleep, Michonne reassures her that she's there.

After being rescued and waking up, Andrea and Michonne check up on each other before getting "interrogated" by The Governor and Merle. When they later explore the streets of Woodbury, Andrea is shown to like the place a lot while Michonne is strongly suspicious of it and doesn't trust any of the residents. She later tells Andrea that she doesn't trust this place, and it's not like what it seems. Andrea, however, tells her that they can make a life here, they have food, water, and they can actually survive in Woodbury unlike when they were outside. Michonne stays silent and leaves to go somewhere else.

When Andrea decides that she wants to stay in Woodbury, Michonne is shown to be sad for a moment before she scoffs and grabs her bag, coldly saying that Andrea would only weigh her down anyway. Her response seemed to hurt Andrea as she called out for Michonne and tried to run after her before Merle closed the gates.

When Michonne kills The Governor's daughter Penny, (who is a walker he kept out of an unhealthy way of coping with her death) he attacks her and tries to kill her. In self-defense, Michonne grabs a broken glass fragment and stabs into his eye. Andrea later discovers The Governor, who had been mutilated by Michonne, and draws her gun at the latter, but doesn't fire. She instead tells her to get out, Michonne looks at Andrea and slowly exists the room with an anguished expression on her face.

When Andrea discovers what Philip has done to her group and Michonne, she feels terrible and blames herself for what has happened. Later, she finds Michonne in the prison yard, the two talk for a bit and as Andrea gets ready to leave, Michonne looks away and tells her that she chose a bowl of food over a friend.

When Andrea later gets abducted by Philip whilst trying to make it to the prison to alert Michonne and the group of his plan, she is forced to watch as Philip kills Milten. Milten gives Andrea a way out of the room, however ends up succumbing to the virus right after his death. When Milten turns into a Walker, she successfully kills him but gets bit in the process and passes out on the floor next to the exit. When Michonne arrives with Rick and the group, she holds Andrea and she smiles at her, Michonne tears up as she sees Andrea's bite, but reassures her that she won't be going anywhere and she'll stay with her.

Months later after the battle of Woodbury, Michonne helps Rick out in the prison and says that she misses Andrea very much, she later says to Carl that when the outbreak started, she was lost and couldn't feel anymore, but Andrea brought her back.

In Michonne's flashback of her and Andrea, the two are seen sitting at a campfire together. Michonne calls this their "girl's night" and Andrea joyfully smiles at her.
