I posthumous only applies to characters that are dead. But can it apply to characters that are alive but you don't see them anymore and their actions continue to have an effect on the story.

Example: This mean girl named Janice. She's the first Strobist I ever encountered in my life and she was very very mean. One the effects she has on my story is me being extra cautious the next time I try to get a girlfriend. She's still alive but I don't see her anymore and another effect is my hatred of the Strobists as a whole and me being afraid to talk to some girls.
