Susan made her debut in Soul Music as DEATH's granddaughter. Who can forget her poise, her logic, her disbelief. . . After catching the followup in Hogfather, where she helps save Hogswatchnight, she became my favorite character on the Disc with her self-styling hair and poker-wielding ways. Since she isn't quite human, having many of the memories of DEATH and a rather Lamarckian birthmark on her cheek that glows, she often retreats into the Shades, a dangerous district in Ankh-Morpork known for serving the not quite human. She buys her drinks at the Biers, a nonhuman-type bar, even though she doesn't really like it, because there no one takes notice of her there. She is an interesting character and a delight to weave into the plot. GURPS Discworld lists her as having ST 10, DX 14, IQ 15, and HT 14. She also has the much-envied Voice of Command as she occassionally uses DEATH's VOICE. Her math skills qualify her for the Lightening Calculator Advantage and she attended the Quirm College of Young Ladies before becoming a governess, her present occupation.
