Foxglove is a supporting character in the Sandman graphic novel A Game of You. She makes her first full appearance in Sandman #32, where she is living with her new girlfriend, Hazel McNamara, a chef at an unnamed restaurant. After Hazel confesses to Foxglove that she had become pregnant after a one night stand, Foxglove becomes angry, but eventually decides to stay with Hazel and raise the child. The two women also help Thessaly in her fight against the Cuckoo.
In the Sandman spin-off mini-series Death: The High Cost of Living (1993), Foxglove is starting a new career as a singer/songwriter. After a record executive overhears "Didi" (a mortal incarnation of Death) and Sexton complimenting Foxglove's performance, she is given a shot at a record contract.
By the time of the sequel Death: The Time of Your Life (1996), Foxglove has become the "queen of acoustic rock and roll." She has a new album, and is appearing on the David Letterman show, but her relationship with Hazel is troubled, due to the stresses of her newfound success. When Hazel's son Alvie is accidentally killed, Hazel offers to trade Death either her life or Foxglove's life for the life of Alvie.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families; and in families not regulated by that pervading influence which sanctifies while it enhances ... in short, by the influence of Woman, in the lofty character of Wife, they may be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
