Sheep eyeball-eating, voodoo necklace wearing, long hair sporting, harbinger of evil and all-round Nuns worst nightmare Servia Maria, is bitten by a rabid dog, possessed by the devil and seduced by a clergyman. Excellent.

"Then Delaura witnessed the fearful spectacle of one truly possessed. Sierva Maria’s hair coiled with a life of its own, like the serpents of Medusa, and green spittle and a string of obscenities in idolatrous languages poured from her mouth. Delaura brandished his crucifix, put it up to her face, and shouted in terror, ‘Get thee hence, infernal beast, whoever thou art.’" Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
