Fictional Character Biography
According to the Newspaper strip
She and her father, dr. Thorne, were captured by the Rope People. The 20th Phantom managed to save her by proving to the Rope People that he really was the Phantom through conducting a number of amazing deeds that a previous Phantom had done. The Tree House
When she was to marry, she was kidnapped and the 20th Phantom had to free his bride from a prison by doing hard labour and thereby making a chain weaker and weaker until he could tear it apart. The Chain
She died sometime after Kit's 17th birthday. Kit stayed with the 20th Phantom until his father was killed. The Childhood of the Phantom
It has also been said that she died while her son was in college. The Beasts of Phantom Head Peak
According to Team Fantomen
She is from Wisconsin and the 20th Phantom met her for the first time when she was going to Hollywood to be a stand in for the actress Rita Hayworth, whom she bears a striking resemblance with.
Through some somewhat contradictionary events she came to marry in the spring of 1938 in time to hear of der Anschluss on the radio during their honeymoon. In 1939, their son, the 21st Phantom was born.
Oddly though, there are a couple of stories dated to 1938 in which the 20th Phantom is unmarried.[citation needed]
Her brother was Johnny Thorne. 1943 Pt 1 1943 Pt 2
