**Loretta Fe** is a fan-fictitious character in the Spooky Month series and is Carmen's mother. She comes from a long line of aristocrats. Although she does not (or rather, *cannot*) work, her family is of real estate moguls and construction, responsible for a fair percentage of the town's buildings.

## Physical Appearance

### Pre-Canon

Loretta is an attractive woman of petite stature; additionally, she is the shortest person out of her family and in laws. Her hair resembles ruby—bright pink-red in colour; it waves to one side and just hangs above her shoulders, mid-way of her neck. She favours long gowns and dresses over pants, and wears small heels.

For casual outings, she dons a: boater hat, feather boa and a hand bag with a distinct diamond lock; all of matching accents of pink. Out of comfort, she wears black gloves as well, only reaching above her wrists.

### Canon

Although she will not physically appear, her appearance stays similar. However, one of her striking changes is the black funeral hat she now wears, her face concealed by the long veil. Her hair greys, showing years of ageing.

Now, alone in the mansion she grew up in, she ambulates with a wheelchair and is often pushed by one of her domestic workers. She seldom gets out.

### Design Notes

* hat has a fake flower
* golden earrings
* usually has half-lidded eyes
* one long upper eyelash
* if drawn, has thick eyebrows

## Personality

A pessimist at heart. Loretta speaks little words, usually answering with less than five words a sentence (when angered, she is fully capable of stepping out of her comfort and go on a slow tangent). She doesn’t emote or express herself very well which makes her a bit of an outcast, even in noble circles where you are expected to keep to yourself. While she is mysterious, she tends to have a catty attitude whenever she speaks; something to judge, someone to demean, somewhere she’d rather be... whether it is intentional or not is hard to debate.

Her words are blunt but occasionally, Loretta will say something that addresses the elephant in the room, giving merit to her frankness. If alone in a setting with no familiar faces, Loretta's mind and gaze will wander into the abyss and all sense of her surroundings blur and muffled mess. Her absent-minded behaviour has caused her a bit of trouble.

Due to this, she has an air of entitlement when people speak. She cannot tolerate it when people stammer or repeat sentences continuously, though she may not mention it and glares instead.

Her sense of power and aristocratic mannerisms was a heavy influence in Carmen's upbringing.

## Trivia

* Loretta's bloodline suggests pink hair in the genetics. As generations grow, it seems to have faded away with her daughter, ending with Roy.
* Loretta's siblings' names are: Anastasia, Cameron (who has passed away) and Cecilia.
* Her slow mannerism and sleeping habits has caused strangers to believe she's deathly ill. However, she just has an unnamed chronic condition that is often dismissed.
	+ Because of this, she does not drive. She and Carmen has a private chauffeur instead.
* The hat Loretta constantly wears *might* have inspired Roy to do the same.
	+ Rather than aesthetics, Loretta's iconic hat helps her avoid eye contact.
* Loretta and Carmen have been mistaken for each other many times. Once, a doctor thought Carmen was Arthur's wife. Another time, a nurse thought Loretta was Arthur's child.
* She has interest in architecture and dislikes most (if not, all) animals and insects.
* Her favourite white tea is Golden Tips.

### Nomenclature

* Her given name, Loretta, comes from the late Latin name *Laurus*, which means "laurel", a plant symbolic of victory.
