Ethel Dawkins is a character role-played by Namakius.
==Description==
"Hello Dear."Ethel Dawkins is a frail elderly woman who boasts a simple flower sweater gifted her by her grandkids for Christmas. In addition to plump green pants that assist in hiding her depends. 
==Backstory==
Ethel Dawkins is an elderly woman, at 84 years old she was put into Parsons Nursing Home during the financial collapse. This was done by her children to keep her safe, as she deals with her dementia, and aching bones. Over time Ethel's 9 children stop showing up to visit and she began to resent them for leaving her at this horrible facility.
Ethel often talks about how horrible Parsons Nursing Home was when discussing their removal of Tapioca pudding to fund the oxygen supplies for her least-liked resident, Martha. Martha makes everything worse at Parsons, including but not limited to the banning of smoking at the facility due to the fire hazard of lighting a cigarette near the oxygen tanks. 
Ethel was rescued from the facility by Lucy Furr, a community service worker. With the help of Lucy Furr, Ethel managed to get herself out of Parsons and into a quaint apartment in Little Seoul, Los Santos. Ever since, Lucy and Ethel have remained friends. However, Ethel's children do not trust Lucy and believe she is using Ethel or scamming her somehow. 
Ethel is very trusting and often finds herself victim to simple scams; her inability to notice red flags and trust that all people have good intentions leads her children to put her in the home. Ethel doesn't see this as the case and doesn't understand why her children are so distrustful, so now she looks up to her savior, Lucy Furr—a sentiment Lucy often uses to her advantage.
Ethel has nine (9) children with her late husband, Arthur Dawkins, and fifteen (15) and counting grandchildren. Ethel adores her grandkids to the moon and loves being a grandmother.
==Ethel's Taxi==
Ethel bought her first car a Regina for $12,650 from Mosely's Auto Sale. The following day, the city would have a price hike on rentals, and car prices. Ethel being the nice and thoughtful elderly lady she is, decided to run a cheap taxi service. Fares for Ethel's Taxi are $20 - $50 as she is only doing this to have conversations with the youth and help them get on their feet. It's expensive in the city and it's the lease she can do.
After a successful first day of Taxi rides, Ethel starts her iconic book series. Ethel's Guestbook, is where Ethel asks all her riders to sign and leave a message if they wish. Currently she is on Guestbook number 3, after Beverly Brekker and January Fooze stole books 1 and 2 along with the confessions book. After Ethel pretended to be a chauffer for Beverly to help him impress January.
The Books were eventually returned to Ethel with the help of Eddie. January had also informed Ethel that she had no part in the theft and it was all Beverly.
