"We're memory," I told her. "That's what we are. Memory."
"You don't really believe this stuff," she told me, and her voice was trembling. "It's a story."

― Excerpt from Neil Gaiman's Goliath[src]

Susan was a thin, black, female bluepill who met and got romantically involved with a Goliath-like man in two separate timelines. The first, in a timeline where he met the man while in a train; and the second, in a timeline where the man actively sought her out.

History[]

Susan originally met the man for the first time while riding a train. The man was a fellow passenger sitting next to her. When the train suddenly got stuck in a repeating loop of déjà vu, causing the train to lurch forward multiple times and, each time, moving through Euston station, she passed a note to him asking the question, "ARE WE DEAD?" The man simply shrugged in response. But then the man started talking to her. She soon developed a relationship with the man and moved in with him. And one day, the man shared with her his thoughts about what he discovered so far of the Matrix. She chose not to believe him though and, that weekend, she left him.

Afterwards, the Matrix got rewound back to 1975, resetting the timeline and the memories of everyone inside the Matrix. In this second timeline, Susan had never met the man. Some time after 1985 though, the timeline was again rewound by the Machines back to 1984. And in this third timeline, she was actively sought out by the man whom she finally meets after his months of searching. She ended up getting married to him and they had a son. They were married for about fifteen years before her husband, sensing his impending death, left her a letter once again explaining the truth about the Matrix.
