Background:

A member of a tribe of Apache Indians in Arizona, Linda Littletrees was accepted to an exclusive women’s college and moved East to go to school.

While there, she was introduced to Satanism by her roommate Jennifer, who convinced her that it was all harmless fun. She was tricked into attending a Sabbat and had her soul sacrificed to Satan before she could escape, transforming her into the Witch Woman.

A short while later, Linda returned to the reservation on a mission from Satan to defeat the Ghost Rider and capture his soul. Upon returning, she saved her father Snake Dance from an angry group of tribesmen who planned on hanging him for leading them down the wrong path.

This group was headed by Linda’s own fiancée, Sam Silvercloud. After saving her father, Linda took the anti-venom needed to save Roxanne Simpson’s life after she had been bitten by Snake Dance’s snakes.

After overpowering the novice Ghost Rider with her hellfire powers, Linda became careless as she recounted her own origins to the supernatural hero, giving him the chance to escape. Satan was furious over this and forced Linda to turn her powers on herself in front of the Rider to act as a warning.

Linda’s comatose body was later found by Snake Dance and Silvercloud and they took to caring for her. Snake Dance recognized the signs of possession in his daughter and they contacted Daimon Hellstrom for help. Satan, meanwhile, took total possession over Linda’s form and left, still seeking the Ghost Rider.

He/She succeeded in finding both Blaze and Roxanne and brought Blaze to the realm of Hell where Satan shed the body of Linda Littletrees. Blaze was saved by the timely arrival of the Son of Satan, who had been tracking Linda ever since she fled the reservation. Together the two supernatural heroes fought through the hordes of Satan and escaped with the body of Littletrees with them.

Once Linda recovered, she taught Blaze how to better control his hellfire powers, particularly how to create solid objects, such as his hellfire-spawned motorcycle. Littletrees later pursued Blaze, wanting him for herself, but Blaze was in love with Roxanne Simpson and told Linda to leave him alone. As a result, Linda later returned to the reservation and ended up marrying Sam, though she no longer really loved him. They had a son together and opened up a diner named “Linda’s.”

Years later, Mephisto once again approached Linda and asked her to become the Witch Woman again, and she agreed. John Blaze came across the Witch Woman during his road trip across the United States after Roxanne’s death. Caught between Linda and Sam’s custody battle over their son, Johnny came to believe that Linda was the victim of an abusive marriage and was close to falling under her spell. Once he discovered that she was once again the Witch Woman, Blaze shot her with his hellfire gun, after which she was taken in by authorities.

Linda became a target of the Spirit of Violence, due to her being one of Johnny’s loved ones. Under the possession of the Spirit of Violence, Barbara Ketch confronted Linda and delivered to her great injuries, leaving her for dead. Before she could pass away, Johnny and his brother Danny arrived to her location. Johnny used the Penance Stare on Linda to allow them to enter a peaceful imaginary hill where they saw the sun setting. Linda looked back at their past, wondering if Roxanne hasn’t been present in Johnny’s life they could have been a happy couple. Johnny asked Linda who the host of the Spirit of Violence was, but she requested to pass some more time together before she could answer. Johnny respected her wishes, and as their peaceful world around them burned, Linda made him promise to burn her body as she didn’t want anyone to see her decaying form. She revealed to him who the host of the Spirit of Violence was, and after passing away, Johnny kept her promise and burned her corpse to ashes.
