Backstory: Susan Woodings was born on January 12th, 1939 in Ireland. Susan was not an only child, having a brother. She moved to America in her teens. She was born foreign, though she at least was surrounded by people with Irish accents long enough to have an accent in her adult life. While in High School, Susan would meet Linda Thompson and, despite the two initially disliking each other, they soon became friends as they related to each other due to their shared introspectiveness. Susan possibly developed a crush on Linda. Susan, at some point, would begin working in mechanical work, first working as a mechanic along side Charles Brook, her co-worker whom she would befriend, becoming best friends. Beforehand, Susan would begin working in carpentering. In 1959, at the age of 19 or 20, Susan and Charles would meet Felix Kranken, Jack and Rosemary Walten. It's not fully clear what happened over the next few decades, though Susan and Charles would become very close to the Waltens and Felix. Felix would be introduced to Linda by Susan, kickstarting their relationship and later marriage. Though not fully confirmed, it seems that Susan and Charles would become very close to Felix. Susan and Charles would be friendly and welcoming to Felix, even after later tragic events during their living time knowing him.

The exact order of events before the 1970s isn't clear, though several things are known. At some point, Susan would bond with her nephew, Kevin Woodings on technology and mechanics. Susan would never at any point develop a romantic relationship, becoming very involved in her work, willingly spending her free time working, innovating, and creating things. At some point, Susan would work for CyberFun Tech as their Technical Supervisor. In 1967, Bunny Smiles Incorporated and CyberFun Tech would enter a partnership, collaborating on a restaurant concept that would use CyberFun's Animatronic Technology for children's entertainment. This restaurant concept would become Bon's Burgers, where Susan, along with Charles (Computer Supervisor), Rosemary (BSI Head Artist), and Jack and Felix as the founders of BSI. While working with BSI, Susan would almost single-handedly build all of The Showstoppers, possibly minus Billy. In Late November - Early December 1973, the Waltens would get rid of a rabid pet dog named Jaimito, giving it to Susan, who would own the chaotic dog for a short period of time before it died of unclear causes on her couch on December 15th.

In Early 1974, from at least January - March 1974, Susan and Charles would run tests on the animatronics' CyberFun Console. On January 21st, she and Charles would test Banny's walking abilities, though this test would go wrong, with Banny running into and then subsequently falling over a table. At some point, Susan and Charles would run a facial tracking test on an animatronic with a young Sophie Walten, though this test would fail, with the animatronics not being able to recognize Sophie's face. On March 7th, she and Charles, without Felix due to him not showing up, would test Sha's facial tracking once more due to the failure of Sophie's test, with the test this time around being successful. On May 2nd, Susan would be told goodbye one last time by Linda, who was leaving for Hurricane, Utah to get away from Felix to start a new. Susan on this day would possibly be at the Warehouse with Felix, Jack, and possibly others. Also on May 2nd, Felix would get in a lethal car accident which took the lives of Edd and Molly Walten, the children of Jack and Rose whom Felix was left in the responsibility of. On May 13th, Susan and Charles would talk about the car accident, with them both agreeing that Felix was hiding something. By this point, Susan had begun to possibly dislike Felix as a person, though still respecting him as a coworker.

On June 30th, Bon's Burgers would host its first birthday party, that being of Jeremy Simmons. Susan would stay after the closing, which would make her seemingly the only employee in Bon's Burgers, though possibly not the only person in the building. Sometime between 10pm-12am on the 30th, Susan would be in the Backstage listening to the radio while closing up for the night. She would be lured near the Bon animatronic due to a toolbox falling from a shelf. When she looked up from the toolbox, she was attacked violently by the possessed robot, which had snuck up on her without her realizing. The spirit possessing Bon was very inexperienced, leading to a troublesome death scenario for Susan: Bon lifted her by her neck, breaking it while attempting to strangle her. Charles had stumbled upon the scene just in time to carry Susan out of the restaurant and towards a hospital, narrowly escaping Bon.
