Biography[]
Encounter With Ash Williams[]
Shortly after the second possession of Sheila and her taking command of the new army of the dead, Ash Williams had journeyed to the Dark Forest where Sheila and the Deadites had taken residence. During his search for this gathering of evil forces, Ash had inadvertently stumbled upon "The Grove", a small garden clearing within the forest that was hidden by magic. After doing battle with The Grove's large ogre-like guardian, Sulevia introduced herself to Williams.
Upon entering The Grove, Sulevia gave Ash a stew made of various herbs grown in her garden, a brew made to "cleanse the spirit" and to help him remember something his mind had long blocked out. Sulevia looked into Ash's memory, seeing him having a confrontation with a Deadite hag during his childhood. When Ash came out of his "flashback", Sulevia told him that the encounter was the result of Ash's actions now (in 1300 AD), but did not occur in his "true life". She also informed Ash that the Deadite spirit which had taken control of the hag in the future was the same spirit that was possessing Sheila now.
Sulevia became increasingly angered every time Ash Williams said "Faceless Man" (Ash And The Army of Darkness #7)
Sulevia then began to explain to Ash the threat of The Faceless Man, a creature that could only be released by someone "pure of heart" who speaks it's name three times over the course of their entire lifetime. After listening to Williams say "Faceless Man" twice within a matter of seconds, Sulevia grew irritated with Ash, and scolded him for his foolishness.
As Ash was getting ready to depart, Sulevia informed Ash that if he successfully stopped evil here in the past and broke it's curse, the soul of his beloved Linda would be freed from torment. Ash, while initially angered at the mention of Linda's suffering, found Sulevia's explanation of breaking the curse to be just the motivation he needed. Sulevia then asked Ash for a kiss (a request which Ash obliged), saying that she knows Ash will be the one to save humanity from evil, but is disappointed she won't live to see it. Suddenly, rotting hands pull her into a large group of Deadites, as the forces of evil had finally found the hidden garden.
While the exact details of her fate remains unknown, Sulevia was most likely killed by her Deadite captors.
