Biography
Roxanne Simpson
With his mother abandoning him and taking his siblings, and his father dead, Johnny Blaze was taken in by Roxanne Simpson's father Crash Simpson and their family at the Quentin Carnival, as a child Johnny was at first friends with Roxanne, but when he started staying with them' he and Roxanne eventually fell in love. After Blaze made a deal with the Devil to cure Crash Simpson's cancer all seemed well, but then Crash died anyway in a freak stunt-cycle accident; after that Satan came to claim Blaze's soul. Fortunately Roxanne arrived on the scene, and using a combination of her pure soul and some mystic incantations she had learned by reading Johnny's secret occult books behind his back, she was able to drive the devil away temporarily, but Mephisto still managed to bond Johnny's soul to that of the demon Zarathos transforming him into Ghost Rider as a curse.

Eventually, Roxanne got temporary amnesia and forgot who Johnny was, and when Johnny became convinced Roxanne had abandoned him, he set off on his own. She was possessed by the demon Legion who transformed her into Katy Milner, a stunt double for Karen Page who was working with Blaze. (Ghost Rider v2 #13) When the demon revealed itself, Blaze called upon Daimon Hellstrom to exorcise it. (Ghost Rider v2 #17) After defeating the demon Challenger, Roxanne was returned to her proper form. (Ghost Rider v2 #19)
