Susie Campbell was a voice actor at Joey Drew Studios, being the voice behind Alice Angel and many other minor characters in the Bendy Cartoons, before getting replaced by Allison Pendle.
History
Early life
It's implied that Susie was talented and desperate for a job.[1]
Working at the Studio
After getting hired as a voice actor for Joey Drew Studios, Susie would voice numerous different characters, including talking chairs and dancing chickens.
Working as Alice Angel’s actress
After Alice Angel’s debut, Susie would become her voice actress, eventually feeling like Alice was a part of her. Many people expressed fondness towards her Alice voice which she greatly enjoyed.
As a welcome gift, Joey had lunch with Susie at Joe's Fine Dining, where began his manipulation of her by calling her Alice which Susie felt flattered by. She also was made aware of Joey Drew Studios’ poor financial situation.
Being Replaced
After Allison was hired to the studio, she immediately took the place of Susie Campbell as Alice's voice actor, since Joey though it more "cohesive and successful"—and further manipulating Susie so she would became more vulnerable to his schemes. A memo about this replacement was sent to the employees, however, it intentionally wasn't sent to Susie, leaving her blind to the situation until she found it out herself. When she entered the recording booth and learned about her replacement, Susie felt heart broken and a part of her die. Trying desperately to find a way to fix the situation.
Joey's Invitation
Joey Drew invited Susie to a meeting in his office—seemingly scheduled to be after-hours, expressing that he understands how she feels about losing her part as Alice and how he too feels the studio’s characters are a part of them both in a successful attempt to manipulate her. He mentions how he believes his studio’s characters are alive and wants people to be able to interact with them, then offering Susie to do a “ceremony” with him that would make her bring Alice back to life once more. The ceremony was very likely what caused Susie to become Alice Angel in the cycle.
Characteristics
Personality
Susie is a naive young woman who has dreams of making it big. She sees the role of Alice as both her destiny and a gateway to go places, claiming that the character is the first she's had a connection with. She had also once briefly been infatuated with Joey Drew when he called her "Alice", heard by her recording in the flooded morgue. Susie also has her moments of being emotional and desperate when things do not go her way, as revealed when she found out she was replaced by Allison Pendle. It is revealed that her personality has become more callous, egomaniacal, and lacking in sympathy and expressing disinterest upon discovering Joey's true intentions.[2]

Dialogue
- Main article: Susie Campbell/novel/dialogue
- "It may only be my second month working for Joey Drew, but I can already tell I'm going to love it here!
- People really seem to enjoy my Alice Angel voice. Sammy says she may be as popular as Bendy some day.
- These past few weeks I have voiced everything from talking chairs to dancing chickens. But this is the first character I have really felt a connection with. Like she's apart of me.
- Alice and I, we are going places.."
- "Everything feels like it's coming apart.
- When I walked into the recording booth today, Sammy was there with that... Allison.
- Apparently, I didn't get the memo. Alice Angel will now be voiced by Miss Allison Pendle.
- A part of me died when he said that.
- There's got to be a way to fix this!"
- "Who would have thought?
- Me having lunch with Joey Drew! Apparently times are tougher than I thought.
- For a moment there, I though I'd be stuck with the check.
- But I gotta say, he wasn't at all what I expected.
- Quite the charmer.
- He even called me Alice.
- I liked it."
- "They told me I was perfect for the role. Absolutely perfect.
- Now Joey's going around saying things behind closed doors.
- I can always tell.
- Now he wants to meet again tomorrow, says he has an "opportunity" for me.
- I'll hear him out. But if that smooth talker thinks he can double cross an angel and get away with it, well, oh he's got another thing coming.
- Alice, ooh she doesn't like liars."
