Susan Sands
This character first appears in Tales 1 and then Season seven

Susan is the wife of Matthew Sands and like her husband a committed Christian witha thorough knowledge of the Bible. The two of them married quite early, and very soon after their marriage she fell pregnant with her son, Frank. Unfortunately there were complications with the birth of her son, which meant she could never bear any more children, which to her was a great tragedy as she had wanted a daughter as well.

She almost had a chance to gain a daughter, when her husband's niece, Rebecca Sands was born, but due to further family arguments that came to nothing, so Susan threw all her devotion into her son, her husband and her part time job in a real estate office in Rochester, New Hampshire.

When Rebecca's mother died in England, (Rebecca's father had long disappeared), and Matthew Sands brought her to their home, Susan was only too eager to welcome the young orphan, and even told Rebecca that she considered her the daughter she could never have and even empathised with her when on arrival in the Sands home, Rebecca Sands became overwhelmed by delayed grief over the death of her mother.

Susan also revealed to Rebecca that both Susan and Matthew Sands both knew that Rebecca had been a minor spirit of virtue but had given up that to gain her human soul. Susan drew on her Christian belief and a knowledge of the Bible to reassure Rebecca Sands that everything was ok with them about her past.

While her husband went back to work, it was Susan who took responsibility for helping Rebecca integrate into the American school system.

When a bigoted woman at her church caused problem's for Rebecca Sands on account of the girl's parents never being married, which almost lead to the abduction rape and murder of Rebecca, it was Susan Sands who went head to head with the woman on Rebecca's behalf. After this incident it was Susan, rather than her husband who pushed for both her and Matthew Sands to legally adopt Rebecca Sands as their daughter.

Later Both Susan and Rebecca Sands along with a G2 leprechaun were arrested and detained by a clean up squad sent after Rebecca by Mr Vee's over zealous aid Mr Davies. After Rebecca's execution order was countermanded by Kathryn Cooper, Susan, along with Rebecca were sedated and detained in a government facility whilst they were checked out, before Susan was released naked in her Jeep in a Walmart parking lot.

Susan remains committed to her faith, and is devoted to her family, including Rebecca Sands who she considers to be her daughter just as if she had her, herself.
