Gloria Greywhinder

* Normal
* Screaming
* Twisted

**Gloria Greywhinder** is the now-deceased wife of Martin Greywhinder. She has returned as a vengeful spirit who haunts the lost tapes, replaying them over and over again hoping to get through to Martin and convince him to change his ways.

## Story

Before the Harmony and Horror tapes were made, Gloria was Martin's wife and mother to Thomas, Macy and Ava Greywhinder. Both she and Martin met on a grassy hill as their "first date" and things looked bright for the pair's relationship and the family. However, his obsession concerning his toy-making industry began to take a toll on his mental-health, causing his morality to decline drastically to the extent she had to rely on Arthur for help.

This eventually led to dire consequences and haunt Martin to change him back into the man she loved/married.

### **Ple4se\_C0me\_B4ck\_T0\_M3**

In this tape, Gloria can be seen indirectly communicating with Martin through text on the screen. The beginning reveals a grassy hill with text reading "*Remember our first date here?*" as tranquil background noise is heard. The footage cuts to the twisted form of Gloria stood in darkness staring off-screen whilst reciting the following riddle:

> "*You can find me in darkness. but never in light. I am present in daytime, but absent at night. In the darkest of places, I hide in plain sight. What...am...I?*"
>

The scene fades out and returns to Gloria's face zoomed in before it transforms from its intimidating smile into a saddened frown. Her face seems returns back to its previous state when doing so. From here, she makes direct contact with Martin by speaking with him using the tape. The following dialogue is what is spoken by her to him:

> "*Martin...Martin, can't you see? You are hurting our children. They loved you. They were proud of you. What Arthur told you was true. We only wanted to protect the children. Haven't you seen enough? I've played these tapes over and over. Can't you see the monster you've become?*"

Suddenly, Gloria's expression alters into shock as she's seen questioning Martin before he begins to destroy the TV and/or tape-player she has taken control of. She begs him to stop but her cries fall on deaf ears as she screams out in both fear and anguish at his actions.

### **THE\_MIRACLE\_CHILD**

Gloria and Martin talk about having children , however, Martin tells Gloria that he probably is infertile. Gloria suggest they adopt a child, But Martin rejects this and says that he wants a child of his own blood. They argue, but Martin apologies to Gloria and leaves to the basement to “work on something”, leaving Gloria crying.

In the next scene, Gloria shows a paper to Martin announcing she’s, in fact, pregnant. Martin is happy about this and guesses right that the baby is a boy. Martin says that Arthur will be an Uncle, but Gloria secretly knows that’s not true.

In the last scene, Gloria questions Martin on the disappearance of their son, Thomas. Martin only brings up how Arthur demoted him to Mascot performer, she asks him again but Martin laughs at “Our Son?”, this scares Gloria as Martin starts to question her if she’s been lying this whole time(Does Thomas know, does Macy know?). Gloria tells him to stop stating that she called Arthur to take her and the kids away from him because he is out of control, Martin then questions where she’ll go, as Arthur is “already gone” that implies he killed both Arthur and Thomas. Gloria starts asking what he did to Arthur, and where Thomas is, Martin takes out a gun and loads it saying:

Martin:"𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝟯𝟬 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻... 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴....𝟭...𝟮.....𝟯....𝟰....𝟱"

Gloria: oh god, NO PLEASE NO, OH GOD!

We soon witness what started on the night of She\_C4n't\_Sle3p.mp4 and what lead to Rebirth.

## Trivia

* In the Are\_Y0u\_HappY? tape, Gloria can be seen behind The Toymaker at the time-stamp 5:17.
* In the Wake\_uP\_B4nZo tape, her face is visible at 2:04 within the darkness of Macy's room.
* In the Thr0ugh\_Broken\_WindOws tape, Gloria can be seen in the background of Henry The Puppet Doll's advertisement.
* Besides from Arthur, she seems to be willing to look past the betrayal from Martin and help him regain his humanity/sanity by manipulating the tapes.
	+ Despite this, Martin actively tries to rid himself of her presence in Ple4se\_C0me\_B4ck\_T0\_M3 when attempting to smash the TV/tape-player.
* Some theorize that Gloria's twisted appearance is due to Martin's degrading mentality and its effect on his perspective on his own deceased wife.
* Gloria seems to be a powerful entity present on a spiritual level as she can actively play/pause, self-insert into and manipulate most tapes found in the Harmony & Horror series.
* In "*L0cal\_13*", it is said that Martin already had reports of both domestic and child abuse. Whether these reports were just near the time Martin became murderous, or whether Martin was simply always like this and Gloria was either blinded by love and/or Martin gas-lighting her is unclear.
* In “THE\_MIRACLE\_CHILD”, it seems to confirm that Gloria did in fact have an affair with Arthur, but not due to malice, but due to wanting to make Martin happy as we are also informed in the same tape that he was infertile and unable to have children. Though this only confirms Thomas, whether the same applies to Macy and Ava is unknown. Though it is seems so as in the end of the tape Martin exclaims “Does Thomas know, does Macy know?”, hinting or confirming that she had an affair for the two girls, whether it was with Arthur again or someone else is unknown. Though it can be presumed to have been Arthur.
* Gloria is the only family member that doesn't become a toy
