Simone Deveaux was a character from the first season of the NBC TV series Heroes.
She was played by Tawny Cypress.
Simone was the romantic interest/ art dealer of the pre-cog painter Isaac Mendez.
And she was part of the love triangle involving her, Issac and Peter Petrelli.
Simone had problems with Issac because of his behavior, and him claiming to be able to paint the future.
Their issues never really got resolved because she was gunned down by Issac, who was shooting at an invisible Peter.
Even though she was taken out by a stray bullet, she did show back up in the first season's finale, "How to Stop an Exploding Man", in a flashback role.
The character of Simone Deveaux was originally a bohemian white woman named Stella. But when Ali Larter got the role of Niki Sanders, the character of Stella was changed from a bohemian to an art dealer, her name was changed to Simone Deveaux and Tawny stepped into the role.
Interestingly, Tawny's older brother Toby Cypress is a comic book artist ( he graduated from The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon, and Graphic Art in 1997).
He was the artist on Batman: Gotham Knights (2000), Batman/Nightwing: Bloodborne (2002) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: N-Vector (2000) among others.
