It is unknown where these abilities came from since both of her biological parents were fully human but it was most likely that she was a human incarnation of a demonic spirit that resided within the waters, which Evelyn lived in constant fear of. Evelyn escaped captivity after eight and a half months and fled to a Christian hospital to give birth.Įvelyn soon gave birth to a baby girl named Samara, who ceased to cry and was born with strange supernatural abilities. Burke raped her under captivity which eventually impregnated Evelyn. In 1970, a woman named Evelyn Osorio was held captive in the basement of a sexually perverted priest named Burke. She is portrayed by Daveigh Chase in The Ring, Kelly Stables in Rings (Short Film) and The Ring Two, and Bonnie Morgan in Rings (2017 film). She helped popularize the "string-haired ghost girl" horror trope in Western cinema, although the trope has long existed in Japanese culture. In addition to this, her white dress becomes tattered and soaked with water, turning it brownish-yellow, grey, and black. Her skin has become an unnatural moldy colour, although when she climbs out of a television, her skin appears a murky grey. Her hair is now black and soaking wet, hiding her waterlogged and deformed face which has turned somewhat grey in colour with sunken eyes. In her cursed form, Samara is very haunting in appearance, resembling a Japanese onryō, a spirit focused on vengeance. In addition to these features, she had long brown hair and fair skin. Initially, Samara appears as a pretty (although withdrawn) and young girl with brown eyes.
