Commander Mark Johnston

Mark Johnston is a commander in the US Marines and he served under Colonel Samuel Peters first in Iraq in 2003 and then on the black ops mission to Colombia to take out a drug cartel that had been dealing drugs with renegade trolls in the Mystical Realms.

Because of his experience Samuel picked him to be his deputy and right hand man at the UK end of the Inter Dimensional Entity Control base known as the Facility, before it was destroyed.

At the time of it's destruction Mark, along with Jenny Green were in Ireland escorting a mother and her daughter, now a former minor spirit of virtue, to go and live with the mother's relatives. As a result on their return to England both Mark and Jenny were arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

When Mark first met Jenny Green, he was impressed by the way she had used a manoeuvre on him to knock him on the floor and ironically this attracted him to Jenny, who is ten years younger than him. This meant he gave up dating several women although he kept his relationship with Jenny on the professional level.

He only started formally dating Jenny after she was nearly executed on the orders of a rouge IDEC aide, and even then after Jenny had made the first move.

Along with Jenny Green he was considered killed in action, but it recently transpired the pair had been sent to another universe from where they have returned.

Rebecca Sands

Rebecca Sands was originally an incidental character in Season six - The Facility Returns then she appeared in the tales, as opposed to the sagas, then she made another appearance in the sagas in Season seven - Orbis Terrarum En Concursus

Rebecca Sands was originally a minor spirit of virtue, The Spirit of Kindness, as her biological father was the major spirit of virtue, The Spirit of Friendship and her mother was a normal human.

Rebecca's biological father disappeared from her life when she was four and she lived with her mother until her mother got into financial difficulties. Rebecca and her mother then had to live with a man just known as Jim who was a pimp, a paedophile ring leader and a creator and distributor child pornography. This Jim, forced Rebecca's mother into prostitution

While her mother was alive, Rebecca was protected from Jim's empire and she was even never told what her mother did for Jim, however at her school in Slough, she never had any friends, because the other children were told by their parents not to associate with Rebecca.

When she had just turned eleven, Rebecca's mother was beaten up by one of Jim's customers and she died of a hospital acquired infection. At the funeral Jim informed Rebecca that she would have to do what Jim demanded, now her mother was no longer there to protect her. It was then that Rebecca in desperation slipped away at the wake and ran away to London.

Rebecca lived rough on the streets of London for a week and a half, only surviving because her low grade empathic powers, without her realising it got people to feed her. Rebecca was tracked down by Commander Mark Johnston and an army officer and taken to The Facility.

At the Facility she was given clean clothes and fed, and then she was confronted by Colonel Samuel Peters with the fact she was a minor spirit of virtue. Rebecca was given the chance to give up her powers that she never knew she had and gain her human soul to become fully human, which she took eagerly.

Rebecca was then sent to America, officially because her maternal uncle. Matthew Sands, lived there with his wife and son, unofficially because former members of the IDEC who did not support the change in policy were considered a threat to all former minor spirits of virtue in the UK.

Rebecca's trip to the US hit a snag when the plane had to divert to New York and she, along with the army officer were arrested on a warrant issued from Miami. (This was because someone had stolen the army officer's identity) Rebecca was extricated from the NYPD thanks to her uncle's law firm while her uncle came down to collect her. It turned out later that a number of NYPD officers had been involved in some competition to clear up as many extradition requests as possible, even when it was obvious that the person being extradited was not the person on the warrant.

Rebecca finally made it back to New Hampshire with her uncle and met the rest of his family. After an incident cause by a bigoted women at the church attended by the Sand's family, Rebecca was formally adopted by both her uncle and her uncle's wife.

Later on, due to the actions of a rouge aid of Mr Vee Rebecca and her then adoptive mother were detained by an IDEC retrieval squad in the US. The leader of the squad in trying to confirm that Rebecca should be exterminated ended up speaking to the new chairman and head of the IDEC, Kathryn Cooper. The extermination order was immediately rescinded and her release was ordered. Unfortunately because Rebecca had been tasered she was supposed to be taken to a medical facility and then released with her mother. However the person tasked with releasing her messed up and she and here adoptive mother were released in separate locations minus their clothing.

Later on Rebecca got to meet the new chairman, who issued a personal apology to her and assured her that she had never done anything wrong.

Rebecca continues to live with her adopted family in Rochester New Hampshire, while her uncle is now a member of the executive oversight committee of the IDEC

This time the character biography of a non human from The Mystical Realms

Chidal
Chidal is an elderly goblin. (Goblins are about three feet tall) Chidal appeared, albeit unnamed in Season Five Emperor of the Trolls, then he was in his own Mystical Realms side tale and finally he made an appearance in season seven

Chidal and his wife Fadol elected to go into penal servitude to the trolls when due to crop failure his son Keval became indebted. This manifested itself by Chidal and Fadol serving for several years at the citadel of the troll emperor, Karam Tag Chou in the scullery.

During his time there he came across Sarah Smith who had been abducted by a gnoll from Earth, after it gated onto the wrong aircraft and killed everyone else including the girl's last surviving parent.

Chidal along with his wife realised that the child was not a hobbit but a human and did their best to care for her, until she was rescued by Graeme Andrews and Angela Roberts. For this they were rewarded by granting their freedom, but they elected to continue serving at Karam Tag Chou.

With the change of governance and the loss of importance of Karam Tag Chou, Chidal and his wife were let go and escorted back to their goblin village where to their horror they discovered that their son's family had been slaughtered by renegade trolls on the loyalist side who had attacked the village. This discovery caused Chidal's wife to suffer a heart attack and die.

Chidal then ended up at a local hostelry which the surviving village elders had deemed to be a shelter for survivors of the troll attack. There Chidal made friends with an orphaned female goblin child. After the dwarf landlord's daughter exacted severe corporal punishment on the child, Chidal resolved to take her away back to Karam Tag Chou, only to meet his son Keval.

Chidal ended up returning with the goblin child, who was instantly under goblin law adopted by Keval, to the new farmstead allotted to Keval to help produce food for the goblin village.

When the child's relatives from the goblin city arrived to collect her they judged she was in good hands and allowed her to stay with Chidal and Keval. The aunt, chose to stay with them and so Chidal moved back to the hostelry to take up the job of cook, left vacant by the landlord's daughters decision to leave to return back to the dwarfs.

Chidal served there for a time and was briefly taken to Earth along with his son and he new family, (The goblin child, the aunt who he married and her new baby), to gather intelligence on the Magnus Timor cult that at that time had captured the goblin village.

After the defeat of the Magnus Timor, Chidal returned to working as cook for the hostelry.

Earlier in the thread I briefly sketched out this main character from the Mystical Realms who has been there since Season three in all of the sagas and also showed up in Tales two

I wrote

Ok here is the additional part

The Clan Chief of the Manjura, (Formally the Prince Low Troll), is technically an illegitimate child of the now dead and deposed tyrant, "The Lord Low Troll" as his father, presumably out of vanity, never married his mother. The troll wedding ceremony involves at a state occasion removing ones top and placing it on their betrothed.

Female trolls who are not married are required to go topless, however after the short reign of the last troll emperor, Graeme Andrews this custom was relaxed.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is of a different temperament from his father and never had the same lust for power, preferring the ways of humans and their democratic ideals. for a troll he is also smaller than most trolls.

Because he was part of his father's squad undoing the work of the major and minor spirits of virtue who had interfered with our world and caused another couple of mortals to fall in love with one another, like the Spirit of True Love had done in 2001, he was not around when the royal court of the Lord Low Troll was slaughtered by a mix of Drow and orcs, and so survived the initial coup de tat.

The Prince Low Troll as he was called then had actually come to undo what he thought was the work of the The Spirit of Fancying although the entity was really The Spirit of Fidelity who was brought up to believe she was her twin sister, and the work he came to break up was actually the product of the Spirit of Lust

He then teamed up with Graeme Andrews and eventually the two became firm friends, and it was the Clan Chief of the Manjura who recommended him to be the last Troll emperor.

Another facet of the personality of the Clan Chief of the Manjura, is that he is gay, and his love interest was Captain Strang, who for time worked on secondment with the new IDEC, until Strang's death when he was gating into the Facility at the precise moment it was blown up by the Magnus Timor cult.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is now the leader of the clan that guards the dimension jump orbs that allow travel between Earth and the Mystical Realms. He is a crack shot with the cross-bow


This is his current status

[spoil]He has been arrested by the authorities in Venezuela, and has been shown live on CNN and other news channels and is being charged with being a spy for the United States of America[/spoil]

Incidentally the image used in the stories



Was actually from a D&D site and is of a female troll. I did not spot that until after I had used that image for quite some time

I would love to have it published outside of TiBB

The main problem is that the first three seasons used Big Brother as a backdrop, so there could be issues of copyright plus those outside may not know what BB was about and of course it makes it dated.

The vignettes between season three and four were a bit two short. In season four I used Mulder and Sculley from the X-Files as guest characters. In the world of Fan Fiction this is known as "Cross-over" they also do this in TV series as well. I would have to rework those characters.

There is also the issue, is the concept too close to other concepts of apparent parallel worlds, like Narnia and The Never Ending Story.

Plus I also refer to creatures used in other fantasy literature, such as orcs and halflings, would there be an issue from the estate and copyright holder of JRR Tolkien.

These creatures exist in the Mystical Realms because they were formed by our collective human unconsciousness which even gave form to creatures from fantasy literature. Again would those representing JRR Tolkien stick their oar in

What I would really love to see, would be to see these as Hollywood blockbusters but I suspect that is not likely, due to rights issues and the need to do a lot of re-work to make the earlier stories more generic.

Aww, That is a real shame! When is the next little spoiler?

Mr Vee
This character first appeared in the first of the vignettes I did between season three and season four. He then surfaced in season seven and season eight. The inspiration for this character came from Cigarette Smoking Man of the X files

Mr Vee's real identity is a mystery as he uses this as a designation rather than his real name, although one villain in one of the saga's referred to him as James, but Mr Vee claimed that name was not real either.

Mr Vee has worked in the darker side of the intelligence business and was involved in such operations even during the Vietnam war.

It was there that he met a young woman who was part of the Viet Cong and got her to switch sides. Later for her safety he used his contacts to get her safe passage to England where she settled. Mr Vee kept contact with her and had an affair with her, resulting in the birth of his daughter, Sue-Lim Wang, now a technician with the IDEC.

Mr Vee is a known sceptic with regards trusting and dealing with entities from the Mystical Realms, and it was him who approved the previous director of the IDEC UK, Mr Blue. He is also a member of a small group of sceptics and concerned people suspicious of those from the Mystical Realms.

It is also ironic that he has used his political intrigue to keep a position on the executive board of the IDEC.

Even with his scepticism he is also aware of what can go wrong when people go too far, even on his side, and when his own aide decided in the wake of the bombing of the Facility in London, to falsify orders so the IDEC for a time went back to it's discredited policy of incarcerate - interrogate - exterminate, it was Mr Vee who personally killed him and made sure his other accomplices were rounded up.

The fact that his aide had ordered the execution of his daughter was also a factor in killing of this rogue aide. Even though his daughter is angry at him for seemingly abandoning her and her mother, he still loves his daughter and goes to great lengths behind the scenes to protect her when he can. It is also suspected that it was him that got Sue-Lim her job wih the IDEC. He has even supplied proof that he is her father to ensure that his daughter gets a US passport and US citizenship.

Mr Vee remains an enigma.

He is also rather fond of drinking orange juice from cartons.

Kathryn Cooper

Kathryn First makes her debut in Season Seven and it is not until Season eight that we learn her surname

Kathryn Cooper is the chairman of the executive oversight committee of the relatively new Inter Dimensional Entity Control agency. Since it was formed from people being seconded in from other government agencies, the committee came from mostly those from the parent agencies.

Kathryn became chairman after beating Mr Vee to the post on the untimely death of Mr Gregory Sanderson, her predecessor.

Kathryn is firmly in the camp of those who believe in dealing with governing forces in the Mystical Realms and treating them as allies. When Rebecca Sands was detained it was her who was called, when new in the job to request Finger on Trigger confirmation of Rebecca's termination. A request which she unhesitatingly refused. After the crisis concerning the Magnus Timor had past she insisted on visiting Rebecca in person to apologise.

Over time her job as chairman seems to have evolved, where the committee, have become more like a board of directors, with herself being equivalent to a main director, on the same footing as directors of other more routine agencies, like the NSA and the FBI.

Kathryn has had to learn the art of Washington Politics to keep the IDEC out of the control of the sceptics, and after the defeat of the Magnus Timor, because of a disastrous mission to try and liberate the central city on the Mystical Realms, she was forced keep Mr Vee as her deputy and close down operations in the UK and bring all the remaining technical personnel from England over to Washington

Kathryn answers to a secret Homeland Security based congressional committee on behalf of the IDEC.

She is also, effectively Colonel Samuel Peters commanding officer, even though she is a civilian.

Kathryn has never visited the Mystical Realms, although she has met with beings from there, mostly leprechauns from Ireland's G2 Special section.

Pete Smith

All the technicians currently on active service with the IDEC first appeared in Season Seven

Pete Smith is British and used to work for the IDEC UK away from the main former building referred to as The Facility in what amounted to be an archive and off site computer file store in Kent, known as The Annexe. It was here that he, the deceased Jason Turner and Sue Lim Wang, all friends who grew up together and recruited to the IDEC UK together, worked, mostly forgotten by the rest of IDEC UK, and for most part left to their own devices.

Pete is a highly skilled computer engineer and also has abilities both in electronic surveillance and counter surveillance, even creating devices that can reveal the listening devices that professional agencies plant.

Pete is also an authority on the history of both the American and the Soviet space programmes as well as current human space flight.

Pete is unique among the other current technicians in that he has never travelled to the Mystical Realms.

Along with all the other remaining personnel at IDEC UK he was transferred to Washington DC as operations were centred in the US. He was allotted a billet with Sue-Lim his Fiancée although out of deference to Sue-Lim's beliefs they stay in separate bedrooms as they are not yet married.

Current status of his relationship with Sue-Lim
[spoil]
Pete remains resolutely devoted and loyal to Sue-Lim, especially since the revelation about her rape at an immigration detention centre in Florida and her subsequent nervous breakdown which lead to her suicide attempt while in FBI custody after being framed for treason.

The date of their wedding is now in doubt while Sue-Lim is recovering at Bethesda Naval hospital

Dr Charlene Henshaw

Charlene comes from a military family, but never followed in the family business and studied physics at university. Consequently she is the only one of the technicians to have a formal doctorate, which she got at Cambridge in work connected to string theory. She is a first class theoretical physicist and was working on Membrane theory when all funding for her research was cancelled by the government. It was felt she was getting too close to discovering the existence of the alternative universe of the Mystical Realms

Charlene was given the option of continuing her research on M-Theory under government supervision, but for ideological reasons, Charlene ended up working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN looking for the Higgs Boson. While she was there she discovered from the LHC data the existence of the Mystical Realms anyway, but was unaware that her supervisor was in league with the cult of the Magnus Timor who was using the LHC to awaken the Magnus Timor in exchange for a place on a new world for his son and his family.

When her supervisor's treachery was unmasked and Charlene had witnessed inter dimensional entities, she was recruited to the IDEC, where she became friends with Sue-Lim Wang and Pete Smith.

Charlene and Sue-Lim worked together to create two artificial wormhole generators that would be able to produce larger wormholes to enable heavy combat vehicles and a Prospect space craft to pass through them.

During the attempt to liberate the central city from the Magnus Timor cult, Charlene went with the marines to take part, staying at a base camp out side the city. When that operation was betrayed, Charlene barely got back to Earth with her life, thanks to friendly faeries, (minus all her clothes as wormholes generated by faeries are very tight)

In appearance Charlene is a platinum blonde and tends to insist on going braless all the time and from time to time out of a desire not to show a visible panty line, eschews any underwear. Also when she goes to the beach she always goes topless and in fact never even bothers to pack bikini tops. This fits her profile of being a bit of a rebel.

Before she was recruited, Charlene had taken part in a number of anti Iraq war demonstrations, although since joining the IDEC, she has put all that behind her.

Charlene, like most scientists is a bit of a trekkie

The final one of our technicians that we have met so far in the Sagas


Sue-Lim Wang
Sue-Lim, like the other technicians first appeared in Season Seven - Orbis Terrarum En Concursus

Sue-Lim's mother was originally with the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, but was successfully turned by Mr Vee who was an intelligence officer at the time. At the fall of Saigon in 1975 Sue-Lim's mother was spirited out of Vietnam and given assylum in the UK, where on and off Mr Vee had an illicit affair with her, resulting in the birth of of Sue-Lim Wang in the mid to late 1980's.

Growing up, Mr Vee appeared to take no place in Sue-Lim's life and Sue-Lim was convinced that her father had just abandoned her and her mother and went back to America. It was only on her mother's death bed did Sue-Lim find out that her father was some ranking official in Inter Dimensional Entity Control. By then Sue-Lim had been recruited as a librarian come technician at the IDEC-UK off-site storage unit nicknamed, The Annex. Here she worked with her childhood friends the late Jason Turner (Killed during a surprise attack on the troll citadel Karam Tag Chou) and her fiancé Pete Smith. What Sue-Lim did not know at the time, was that it was her father who engineered her recruitment to the IDEC UK

During her time at the IDEC-UK, she was tricked by Mr Davies, Mr Vee's aide into reproducing the banned artificial wormhole generator, originally produced by Timothy Zachery a rouge technician at the IDEC-UK HQ, (Known as the Facility).

As "reward" for this work, Mr Davies ordered her to be executed, or in official parlance, Deep Cleaned by an IDEC Clean up squad along with Jenny Green after he had Colonel Samuel Peters and Commander Mark Johnston arrested.

Her execution order was rescinded at the last minute by Mr Vee himself, who then shot dead Mr Davies who had given the order to kill his daughter. It was later that Sue-Lim learned from the Colonel that the high ranking official in the IDEC-US who was her father was Mr Vee.

This revelation did not quite lead to reconciliation as she became resentful that her father was not letting her do things, like go on the fateful mission that would result in the death of Jason turner. She considered that after abandoning her, he was now interfering in her career.

She did finally manage to get her way to go on the mission in the Russian Prospect craft that was to close any rift that the Magnus Timor might open up around the world of the Mystical realms. This was because, not only was she a brilliant technician in her own right, after piecing together the artificial wormhole generator and working with Dr Charlene Henshaw to augment two to allow heavy equipment and vehicles to pass through to the Mystical Realms, but because she also speaks fluent Russian. Sue-Lim learned this when as a child she accompanied her mother who was a contract cleaner at the Soviet Embassy in London.

Sue-Lim was one of the few from the IDEC-UK to return back to our universe after dealing with the Magnus Timor, and the only member of the team to have done a space walk, when she and the Russian pilot had to abandon the Progress craft to space walk to a the USS Endeavour space shuttle. (A space walk she only barely made alive)

On return to Earth, Sue-Lim found herself trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare and placed in an immigration detention centre in Florida. According to international law, any astronauts rescued in space must be returned to the country they were launched from. Sue-Lim was supposed to be going to Washington DC as the IDEC-UK had been wound up with all remaining personnel transferred to the IDEC-US, but for a time US Immigration insisted she had to return to Russia and apply for a visa to enter the US. It was suspected that the parentage of her mother was a cause of this.

It was only on the intervention of the chairman of the executive committee of the IDEC, Kathryn Cooper that she was released and picked up in person by Kathryn cooper. By that time Sue-Lim was sporting severe facial bruising which she passed off as a result of the emergency space walk, and she had a reluctance to talk about her time at the immigration centre.

Over her time subsequent to this, she suddenly had issues of intimacy with her Fiancé which she worked to overcome. Pete Smith loves her and knows she loves him, so respected whatever Sue-Lim was working through. Periodically her new friend Dr Charlene Henshaw would come across Sue-Lim after she had been crying, but Sue-Lim passed it off as a cold she had picked up.

The truth only came out, after they had found illegal surveillance devices in hers and Pate's billet at Quantico , allegedly planted by another government agency, which caused Sue-Lim to go AWOL. After tracking her down, Dr Charlene Henshaw got from her that whilst at the immigration detention centre, she had been assaulted by a senior guard in revenge for the loss of his brother in the Vietnam war, and on his orders gang raped by two other guards.

Sue-Lim was then arrested on false charges by the FBI, and whilst in their custody attempted suicide by hanging with an enchanted scarf unwittingly delivered to her by Celeste.

Sue-Lim was only saved when Celeste blew away the door to the interrogation room and materialised briefly to scream for help.

Currently Sue-Lim is recovering at the Bethesda Naval hospital. The date of her wedding to Pete is now in doubt[/spoil]

Matthew Sands

This character first appeared in Rebecca's Journey the first of the side tales and Season Seven

Matthew Sands is a lawyer and is married to Susan Sands with whom he had a son, Frank. Matthew lives with his family in Rochester, New Hampshire. Matthew is the maternal uncle of Rebecca Sands the former Spirit of Kindness. Both he and his wife are aware that Rebecca Sandswas a minor spirit of virtue.

Matthew, his wife and son are committed and faithful Christians.

Matthew suffers a form of night blindness which means he can not drive at night.

When Matthew's younger sister died in England, and her orphaned niece, Rebecca Sands, was found by members of IDEC-UK and taken to their UK base where Rebecca Sands got rid of her low grade powers and gained her human soul. She was then meant to have been flown to New Hampshire to be collected by Matthew.

However after her plane had to divert because of bad weather, his niece got arrested in New York on trumped up charges in an unofficial competition between NYPD precincts over who could clear the most extradition warrants.

Matthew got the law firm he works for, New York head office, to get her out of custody and while a colleague drove him down to New York City arranged for his niece to be fostered by a couple he knew from way back, who had even attended his wedding.

After finally returning to New Hampshire, and after an incident where Rebecca Sands was almost abducted by two child molesters because a bigoted woman would not let her into a church building for a youth club, on account of Rebecca Sands parentage, Matthew and his wife legally adopted Rebecca as their daughter. This had been something he had wanted to do years before as a way of trying to deal with a family row between his sister and his father, but initially thought had no longer been an option as he thought his son might object.

When a rouge aide of Mr Vee had Matthew's wife and, (by now), adopted daughter captured by an IDEC-US retrieval squad. He thought he would never see either again.

They were released separately, twenty four hours later, minus their clothes. Susan Sands in her car and Rebecca Sands dumped in a baseball park, naked tied up, gagged and blindfolded.

Because of the way his wife and daughter had been "released" he was informed by Kathryn Cooper Chair of the executive committee of the IDEC, that the person who had mishandled the release had been asked to resign, and Matthew was invited to be part of the IDEC executive oversight committee. An invite which he accepted.

Matthew now assists, on a part time basis, with legal requirements of the IDEC.

Walter Quentin

Walter Quentin came in season eight

Walter is a balding man and the director of the National Security Agency, the US agency considered more secretive than the CIA. He is one of the very few in the intelligence community in Washington DC who has been read in on the existence of the Mystical Realms and the IDEC.

It was Walter who recommended Kathryn Cooper for the position of Chairman of the Executive Oversight board of Inter Dimensional Entity Control.

When NSA devices were found at the billet of Sue-Lim Wang and Pete Smith it was he who recognised that they were unauthorised and when the FBI arrested Sue-Lim when she was set up, it was Walter who managed to force the FBI director in charge, who he was at Yale University with and is also a golfing partner, to reluctantly release Sue-Lim into Kathryn's custody.

Walter has connections with other agencies, like the Department of Justice, which from time to time, as with the case of Sue-Lim prove to be useful.

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.
