Susan is the daughter of Ysabell, Death's daughter via adoption, who is introduced in The Light Fantastic, and Mort, who was briefly Death's apprentice in the book Mort. As the series progresses, she also begins to take on roles educating children, so that, as Pratchett mentions in The Art of Discworld, she has "ended up, via that unconscious evolution that dogs characters, a kind of Goth Mary Poppins". Death tends to rely on her in his battles against the Auditors of Reality, particularly in situations where he has no power or influence. Being both human and supernatural, Susan is frequently and reluctantly forced away from her attempts at "normal" life to do battle with malign supernatural forces or to take on her grandfather's job in his absence. She appears in three Discworld novels: Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time. She is the granddaughter of Death, the Disc's Grim Reaper, and has a number of his abilities.
Susan Sto Helit (also spelled Sto-Helit), once referred to as Susan Death, is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. Michelle Dockery as Susan in the 2006 TV adaptation of Hogfather
