From ‘Dead Like Me’ to ‘American Gods’: 37 Formidable Women of the Fullerverse

31. Heidi Gotts, Wonderfalls

Heidi serves as a looming rival to Jaye throughout the series, although she doesn’t appear until the end. When she arrives into town, she shakes up things even more for our already unraveling protagonist. Conniving and deceptive, Heidi puts up a good fight to win her man back, but eventually sees that she’s lost him for good.

Played By: Jewel Staite
Fun Fact: She cheated on her husband with the bellboy on her honeymoon.
Quote: Sorry to be such a bitch about this, but you’re unstable.

32. Audrey Burton, American Gods

Audrey is a woman who deserves more from the people around her. Betrayed by her husband and best friend, she spirals into a confused and “vulgar” mess. As she tries to come to terms with their fate and her complicated feelings of grief, she is visited by a living-dead Laura Moon. Where it could add insult to injury by driving her insane, it gives her a small measure of clarity and closure, even though she deserves much more.

Played By: Betty Gilpin
Fun Fact: Audrey likes to craft and scrapbook.
Quote: There’s no arguing with dead. No debate because dead wins, 10 out of 10.

33. Marianne Marie Beattle, Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies

Marianne is the proprietor of Muffin Buffalo, and Jaye’s neighbor in the High and Dry Trailer Park. She enters her muffins in the Comfort Food Cook-Off, and serves as Olive’s arch-nemesis, beating The Pie Hole two years in a row. She has a competitive and entrepreneurial temperament which causes her to act out in irrational ways.

Played By: Beth Grant
Fun Fact: Grant is not the only actor to appear on multiple shows in the Fullerverse, but her character, Marianne Marie Beattle, is the only one to crossover.
Quote: Well, sieg heil, Ms. Jenny Craig!

34. Kiffany, Dead Like Me

Kiffany is an incredibly patient and hard-working waitress that works at Der Waffle Haus. The reaper crew can always depend on her for a kind word or a sage piece of advice. But, even genial Kiffany has her limits. When down-and-out Mason steals her and the other servers’ tip, she banishes him from the diner. She eventually lets him back in, teaching him a lesson in common decency and consideration.

Played By: Patricia Idlette
Fun Fact: She can read palms, and might be psychic.
Quote: And you’re Der-out-of-here.

35. Zorya Vechernyaya, American Gods

As the matriarchal-type head of the three Zorya sisters, Zorya V. runs the household, and (only just) tolerates Czernobog. She is no-nonsense, but has made an art of sugar-coating bad news. She tells the “prettiest lies” out of all three of the Zoryas, and apparently makes the most by doing just that when reading fortunes and futures. Zorya V. had a romantic relationship with Wednesday when they were younger. She warns him that he will fail this quest he is on.

Played By: Cloris Leachman
Fun Fact: She can drink an entire bottle of vodka in just one pull.
Quote: Family is who you survive with when you need to survive.

36. Zorya Polunochnaya, American Gods

Zorya P. is the night owl. She takes her turn watching the stars on the night shift. “This time is my time.” She seems like the most magical out of the three sisters, reading Shadow with barely a glance at his palm, and plucking the moon from the sky.

Played By: Erika Kaar
Fun Fact: Her first kiss is with Shadow Moon, which she describes as “disgusting, but in a nice way, like bleu cheese or brandy.”
Quote: You believe in nothing so you have nothing.

37. Zorya Utrennyaya, American Gods

Zorya U. is the quiet sister, but you can tell she lives inside a large and thundering world within her head. She is observant, and reacts to what is going on around her. She is difficult to read, but seems fiercely loyal to her sisters.

Played By: Martha Kelly
Fun Fact: She likes to read romance novels. (I wonder if she’s read the entire Harlequin library like Olive?)
Quote: Shhh!
