But then she's used as a [[PeoplePuppets human puppet]] by a lonely ghost who forces her into being a compliant and sexually generous wife to a husband she doesn't love. [[spoiler: ''And then'' not only does she suffer through DeathByChildbirth, she's condemned to a special hell for women who suffered DeathByChildbirth and failed to give their husbands sons.
