Suzy, The Socouyant



Imagining the Soucouyant as a super villain or maybe an anti-hero. Perhaps she wants to be good, but is destined to be bad

"In Caribbean folklore, The Soucouyant (Sukuya), also called Old Hag, is a supernatural being who has made a pact with the devil to be able to change herself into all kinds of different forms. At night she sheds her human skin and changes into a ball of fire or any kind of animal and casts spells on people to turn them into animals also. She has to slip back into that skin before dawn breaks and the cock crows, otherwise she will not be able to get back into it"
