| - Susanne is the well-known head barmaid of the GateWorld Cantina. Running the show behind the scenes, she prefers her shorter nickname 'Susie' and hates any other variation of her name. Other variations of her name, which she does not agree with make her exceptionally angry, one of the only things to do that. Quick witted and often sarcastic, she isn’t afraid to break up one of the regular bar fights. Her job is her life and she defends it fiercely. Her boss Mapp pays her minimum wage and all the booze she can handle, quite often she will try to wheedle a pay rise from him with usually disastrous consequences. One of the lower ranked crewmembers and likes to keep it as such; Susie is pure human and comes from 21st century Earth. Her preferred weapons when under threat are her two plasma guns, or her fists. Petite and agile she is fast and dangerous, People often see her as a small unthreatening woman and she prefers to embellish that thought until she is threatened rather than allow potential threats to the cantina twig, she is more powerful than she appears. Doing more than her fair share of work she is constantly tidying up and cleaning the Cantina; stocktaking and serving drinks at the bar. In the privacy of her room she would appear lost and unfocused, over her stay in the Cantina she has seen a lot of friends die and then get replaced, many of the newer crew might not know their names, they might not have met them but susie is sometimes haunted by the loss that is always with the Cantina. Many photos of her and the crew are scattered around the room, reminders of her friends, under her bed is a small polished box holding the photographs of long dead members of Mapp’s former friends. To anyone visiting her room for the first time they would see photographs everywhere, clothes strewn about, books open and papers half written, in the privacy of Susie’s world she prefers her room much lived in, contrary to the time she spends in it.
