  Susan Sto Helit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Sto Helit is a fictional character who features in three of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels - Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time.
Susan, on the other hand, simply hands the child a suitable weapon (such as an axe or broadsword) with which to assault the monster, or goes and does it herself.
As of Thief of Time, Susan is rumoured to be in a relationship with Lobsang Ludd, the new anthropomorphic personification of Time.

 Discworld
•Mort: is a Deaths apprentice, the father of Susan, the Dutch of Sto Helit, and the husband to Ysabell.
When first encountered in the Discworld books, she is a sixteen-year-old girl with silver hair and silver eyes who, it transpires, has been sixteen for around thirty five years (no time passes in Deaths Domain).
Daughter of Mort (Deaths former apprentice) and Ysabell (Deaths adopted daughter), granddaughter of Death Himself, Susan is frequently subjected to visits from Quoth the raven and the Death of Rats.

 Further Reflections
Susan, at least, could be relied upon not to grin all the damned time.
Susan took a deep breath[2] and turned to leave, thanking all the gods who could be relied upon not to listen for the chalk circle keeping the girl from following her out.
Susan had been so surprised that Mr Dibbler had given the girl her sausage in a bun for free she'd taken a bite of her own before common sense kicked in with its steel toecapped boots.

On the Discworld, belief is a tangible force.
Susan, alone, refuses to believe in anything, and that makes her the peculiarly sceptical hero of a deeply romantic book.
Susan believes in Teatime, because Teatime is something that falls within her rational framework; but even at the end of the book, she doesn't really believe in Death.

 Susan Sto Helit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Discworld's premier Goth Princess (though she finds it quite embarrassing really) is truly one of a kind.
Susan has inherited (through some strange magical genetics) some of Granddad's attributes such as being able to walk through walls and stop Time, and sometimes gets pressed into service doing his job, but she much prefers working as an anonymous-as-possible governess and schoolteacher.
Susan doesn't have much in the way of a love life - it's hard to be romantic and dewy-eyed when you're congenitally incapable of seeing things as anything but exactly what they are.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Hogfather
The daughter of Death's adopted daughter and her husband, Death's former apprentice, Susan can see things that most people can't, can walk through walls, has a strangely commanding voice, and packs a mean poker for thumping monsters.
Susan demands an explanation and Death reveals that the Hogfather is dead.
When Susan demands to know why he is doing this, he refuses to answer and tells her it's not her business.

 Albert (Discworld) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It worked, in a way, since Malich was sent to Death's Domain, where Time does not flow the same as on the Discworld.
He had 91 days, three hours and five minutes of Time left on the Disc, most of which he spent shopping and using the soap and bath at the Young Men's Reformed Cultist of the Ichor-God-Bel-Shamharoth's Association (Death is not very good at making plumbing).
He and Susan do not get on very well.

 Death - www.ezboard.com
Down on the Discworld, Susan and Lu Tze witnessed the meeting of the old clockmaker and the young boy and they merged together, becoming what they were supposed to be originally.
Susan then travelled through the void that surrounded the clock and met Time herself, discovering Lobsang was her son and he would have to take over.
Susan jumped in to stop him and she was killed, her power absorbed, but she trapped him within an unreachable realm for some time, passing on the responsibility to Yuskei, who the parents both knew he would by then be able to take him on.

 Thief of Time (A Discworld Novel) Book at Shop Ireland
Susan is also in place, and her role is entirely central, but she has been growing up with the series, and she is now a very different woman to the one who appeared in Soul Music, for instance.
We are also introduced to the way time works on Discworld, which is, as you might imagine, different from us as everything else is. Subtly philosophical, and always able to bring a smile, if not outright laughter, the 26th Discworld book shows no sign of losing any steam.
There are old and new Discworld characters in here, all of them aptly named for the job they have to do - and Susan Death is but one of them; there's no-one quite like TP for being able to put names to characters.

His adopted granddaughter, Susan, takes a break from teaching children to bash monsters rather than be frightened of them, and teams up with his butler, Alfred, as they try to stop Death from causing havoc with his well-meaning behaviour…
Mythical beasts roam the Disc, Wizards and Witches practice their craft with various degrees of ineptitude, Death is a real person (or at least, an anthropomorphic representation, which is very nearly the same thing), and everything is portrayed from a skewed perspective.
Susan is a great character and possibly at her most cynical and exasperated by her Grandfather’s antics in this book.

The Discworld truly is a mirror of our world and, while it is mostly a fun house mirror, it's still possible to know without doubt what it is you are seeing in that distorting mirror.
As with many of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, this plot is of little importance in itself, but serves mostly as the loose framework upon which he can hang his amazing characters and an excuse to display his highly evolved and hilarious sense of satire and parody.
Discworld fans will recognize many old friends in the present cast, led by Death himself, who as usual displays his grim fascination with and sympathy for those living creatures that are his responsibility to terminate.
