Countess Elspeth Tsepish is the wife of Count Vladimir Tsepish.

Background[]

She died of a broken heart when her husband was killed, and, shrouded in a black cloak, she became the Woman in Black. She spent most of her afterlife haunting his tomb, weeping bitterly before it. Far too often, she literally cried her eyes out, requiring her to visit Doctor Cadaver to get replacements. The Boogeyman harassed her in the hopes of eloping, but she rebuffed him every time. Any mortal who dared disturb her grieving and saw her face died of horror.

Valanice broke her curse when she returned the pendant to her, and returned her husband's head to his body, allowing the couple to reunite.
