Mom

* Normal
* Coat

*"We’re not the same person anymore. Vanessa is gone."*

Mom is one of the Doctors who works at the facility. Her real name is "Vanessa Weiss."

## Appearance

Mom has long, straight, golden blonde, hair that droops down toward her lower back. Her skin is a pale ivory color, and often, she wears makeup on her face, with rosy cheeks and light mascara. Another defining feature are her bright green eyes and often plump, pink lips.

Mom generally wears a black, sleek pencil skirt, black pantyhose, black, shiny heels, and a cream-colored, thin blouse with a slightly lower neckline. She often has her white lab coat over her usual attire, though there are many instances in the story where she goes without it. Since she tends to have a sweet smell to her, it's likely Mom wears a lot of perfume.

## Story

### Before the Facility

During her college years, Mom spent a lot of time networking and sleeping around in order to climb up social ladders and get her research off the ground. It is not known at what capacity she was close to the Boss, but she was once in his inner circle and is likely one of the earliest members of his underground operation.
Mom is also revealed to have taken Micah under her wing at some point, having taught him how to do the job she used to do more heavily before being subject to overseeing the records office (her field of expertise isn't currently known). Apparently, Micah had no real credentials to speak of, yet Mom asserts he's "smarter than he looks" despite not having any credentials.
Mom had also collaborated with Yosuke on projects aboveground when she was still working there, and the two eventually had a fling during and after the project was finished. Sometime between then and the present, Mom had recommended Yosuke to her boss, asking for him to join the underground with her. Thus, she is responsible for both Micah and Yosuke's induction into the facility.
### In the Facility

During the events of the story, Mom is mostly seen filing papers in the records room despite once being known for another position previously, one now spearheaded by Micah. Though others have said she wasn't nearly as bad as she used to be, she is currently seen as "crazy" and sex-crazed, and over time, she descended deeper and deeper into her frenzied state. It's been said she's constantly acted out and broken rules, and she seems to care little about doing it blatantly despite the constant torture The Overseer puts her through as punishment (often through physical injury).
Throughout the story, Mom constantly flirts with the Numbers and her colleagues (many of whom no longer indulge her even if they once did), especially Yosuke. She takes joy in teasing the Numbers and treating them as her toys - even forcibly pairing them with each other for the sake of her own enjoyment.
## Personality

Mom is known to be promiscuous, and a sex fanatic. She enjoys being a sultry tease, and finds entertainment in most everything. If something isn't inherently sexual, she'll make it that way just to be cheeky. Mom's voice is said to always drip with lust whenever she speaks, and she has a tendency to blushing and bite her lips when aroused or "tickled" by a particular thing. Whenever she teases others, it's often at the expense of whoever is in her radar. She is also overall giggly and seems to enjoy emasculating men with her "mommy talk", while also babying the female prisoners. Though, when it comes to her female coworkers, she is a bit different. She will still talk babyishly with anyone she's on good terms with, but has a tendency to lean toward jealousy or rage toward some other women, especially if they get more attention or more fortune than she does.

Mom often has a sexual "itch" and visits numbers and coworkers to fulfill her sexual desires, even to the point of angering her boss. She has been seen harrassing Ten and Cyrus especially, fascinated by the idea of pairing them together sexually. She often makes derogatory and sexist statements toward them, indicating she expects Cyrus to be in the traditional male role while Ten must remain girlish and reliant on him.

There is another side to Mom, though. While she is often gaudy and lively, she also has a wild temper, and her emotions shift very quickly. She has certain triggers that can cause her to become irate, violent, or snappy. In Chapter 28, her rage caused her to become violent against a worker. She also has shown an impeccable strength that most might not expect of her at first, so a lot of Numbers fear Mom for this reason. Her coworkers seem to leave her alone or want nothing to do with her when she gets in her moods, as seen when Jude had Nathaniel take his paperwork to her so as not to deal with her.

However, despite this view of Mom from her coworkers, she is sometimes talked to casually by other doctors. They recognize her irritable tendencies and overbearing nature, but are willing to chat with her from time to time.

Mom demands both numbers and her coworkers to call her some variation of "Mom", and has shown extreme anger when addressed by her real name by her Boss in Chapter 41. For some reason, she seems to want to distance her current self from her past self, sickened by her obsession with the facility and feeling no particular interest in leaving it. It's not clear when she started becoming obsessed with playing the mother role, but according to Yosuke, it has worsened with time. Even he seems to recall she wasn't quite this bad.

As stated, Mom seems to become easily jealous and dislike her female coworkers for reasons unknown. In Lilah's case, this was likely an issue spurned by her attachment to Milos, but it's not yet clear. In Monica's case, it's likely a mixture of jealousy and frustration at having her role be overshadowed by another person. It's speculated that Mom projects her bad personality traits onto others and willfully hurts anyone who offends her out of spite.

## Job at the Facility

Mom's specific job in the Facility is not yet known, but it seems that a portion of her job (based on a conversation between Sven and Micah in Chapter 81) was once leading a part of the operation that involved initial data collection from prisoners brought in by The Overseer, Lucius, or (at some point) Milos.Micah has now mostly taken over of that role after being trained.

Nowadays, Mom oversees the records room, takes paperwork from other doctors, and opens or shuts the gate for prisoners to enter and leave the recreational areas. Thus, she works exclusively underground. While initially having to do this work alone, Monica eventually joined her in the office. It's unlikely that she sleeps there like Mom does, but she does work closely with her.

Despite her constant misbehavior, The Overseer apparently still finds her important enough to his operation and puts up with her troubles. As it is, even though she is mostly confined to the office, Mom still occasionally partners with Micah to help him with his job, given she has credentials and expertise above him. Yosuke, who no longer cares for the woman personally, still describes her as a "respectable doctor that does good work".

## Kinks and Sexuality

* Mommydom / MM/LX
* Toys
* Begging
* Cunnilingus
* Tickling
* Face sitting
* Vicarphilia
* Discipline
* Masturbation

Mom seems to lean more toward bisexuality, as it’s been mentioned in various conversations or through implication that she’s been with both men and women (we’ve no idea of other genders at the moment, but she seems to be more straightforward about those two). However, Mom has a preference for boys and gentler girls (Three and Ten being her favorite and occasionally Five). She seems to prefer putting men and women in traditional roles, placing the responsibility of taking care of girls on the young men in the facility, while making sure to have the young women reliant on their male acquaintances.

## Relationships

### **One (Cyrus)**

Mom loves her Number, often calling him her "Baby Boy", and is seen to be obsessed with him. She often will peck at him, and with how long he's had to deal with her best and worst aspects, Cyrus tends to oblige her while still harboring dislike toward the woman. Though Mom is generally abusive and manipulative, she still shows inklings of care for her Number. Often, she asks Ten to "take care" of him too.
Despite her attachment to her Number, Mom still likes to play around with other partners and doesn't stay exclusive to Cyrus. She has, however, apparently seen him for a very long time, and currently, he is one of her only known long-lasting charges. It's unknown if she ever had anyone else before this group and the previous group, but given how often earlier prisoners died in the facility, it's likely she did.
### **Ten**

Mom tends to go for "softer" girls (the others being Three and Five), and so she enjoys visiting the often hesitant and shy Ten. She tends to grow obsessed with new Numbers when they first show up, but may have a specific obsession for Ten due to her link to Yosuke. This is furthered by the fact that Mom also harassed Eight heavily when Yosuke had him as his Mumber.
Mom takes many opportunities to baby Ten, tease her and treat her like a "princess". However, she does not hold back on discipline either, and lets herself get angry if Ten disrespects her enough.
### **Yosuke Chisaka**

At some point before the story, Yosuke and Mom had collaborated a couple of times on a project and eventually "dated" for a couple of months, though their relationship was purely sexual and more of a "fling" in Yosuke's eyes. Yosuke has iterated that the relationship was purely sexual himself, and that he only engaged in it in an effort to bring more excitement to his then-grueling life. After they called things off, Mom had recommended Yosuke to join the underground to her boss in hopes of keeping him around, despite Yosuke showing little interest in her by that point.
While initially fascinated by the woman, Yosuke grew sick of her needy and overbearing nature rather quickly. In the present, Yosuke no longer has any attachments to Mom beyond professional. He's explicitly stated a dislike of her, and that he only keeps up with being civil and patient with her due to feeling like he owes her for bringing her into the underground operation, and consequently leading him to Ten. However, Mom still attaches herself to Yosuke and enjoys teasing and pecking at him. Their relationship seems very one-sided, with Mom still fawning over the man even though she is known to be fickle and switch between men. Over the course of the story, her obsession with Yosuke seems only to grow.
Even with the myriad of interactions between the two through Ten's eyes, it's unclear whether Mom truly loves Yosuke, is dependent on him, or simply loves to tease him. All three are possible options given the sporadic nature she has. Nonetheless, she is always looking for him, and she always stops to chat with him when he comes by her office. There are times when Yosuke tries to avoid her, and she points this out playfully.
During the Ten’s confinement, Yosuke gave into Mom at his low point and slept with her after his grievances with the potential loss of his Number made him "go back to his old ways". Only once Ten returned to him did he immediately discard Mom again.
### **Eight**

In general, Mom tends to gravitate towards the male prisoners. At one point she was hovering and obsessive over Eight, back when he was Yosuke's Number, likely due to his connection to her previous partner. However, she had eased up on her obsession of him once Yosuke moved on to Ten. She still tends to treat Eight somewhat like Cyrus, having been seen early on teasing him.
When Eight is later passed onto her after Lilah attains Twelve in her custody, Mom's obsessive tendencies toward her new Number are rekindled.
### **Lilah Valentine**

Mom often butts heads with Lilah, and has no real history of ever getting along with her. The reason for their squabble isn't really known, but hinted in Chapter 81 to have had something to do with Milos, whom both women have slept with.
Lilah isn't afraid to call out Mom's overbearing and delusional nature, often throwing insults at her without hesitation. Mom takes offense to Lilah in most instances, even just in her mere presence as of late. Mom asserts that Lilah is given too many chances (without necessarily noticing she is as well, even if she gets punished more often).
### **Milos Simanek**

Milos has a general "respect" for Mom because of her job and because of his previous sexual relationship with her, often calling her "Mamaluya." He had worked with her for a long while, as evidenced upon it being shown he is part of The Overseer's inner circle. Even after The Overseer dished out one of his harsher physical punishments to Mom, Milos was the one to have patched her up.
However, because he's slept with both Lilah and Mom, he is often left in the middle of their spats. Also, while he is jovial toward Mom in most instances, he seems to care little about coddling her emotionally. After whatever happened between them ended, Milos stopped paying her as much mind. Mom seems to have "forgiven" Milos (likely forcing herself to) and put up with his antics while still being nice to him to save face. However, she's also been seen snapping at him as well when his antics get to her, especially in Chapter 81.
In Chapter 92, it's explicitly said by Milos that he and Mom coupled together, however he makes it clear that Mom was genuinely in love with him at one point, if a version of him he faked. Reportedly, he broke this around the time Mom got settled into the facility, and left her high and dry. Mom expresses she took a long time to fully forgive him, and that the version of herself she touts around the facility now is one who accepts Milos where the real her does not. Ten supposes this explains a lot of her vilification toward Lilah and Mom's behavior toward Yosuke, whose coupling was far briefer and explicitly sexual.
### **Micah Galin**

At some point, Ten had overheard that Micah and Mom worked closely together, but not much was known about the nature of their relationship at the time. In Chapter 81, Ten overhears that Mom had brought Micah under her wing to teach him how to do her job and work at the facility despite not having any real medical qualifications, certification, or credentials. It is implied that he performed sexual favors for her, either as a means to attain his position, or as a favor to her for getting him a job there. Mom mentions gifting and rewarding him for his "good boy" behavior, and some fans speculate that she may have been the one to give him his current balisong knife.
Mom still seems a bit sweet on Micah despite "letting him go" after he was stable enough to do his job without her. She often defends his wilder behaviors and asserts that he has a softer side he doesn't show to just anyone.
### **The Overseer**

Not much is known about Mom's relationship with The Overseer aside from the fact that her regular antics tire him utterly, and that he finds her difficult to deal with. In general, he finds her insufferable, but puts up with her behavior only due to her importance to his work. Even if she no longer does what she once had, she still has use overseeing the office.
It's hinted that he used to respect her work previously, but it seems that respect deteriorated long ago. In Chapter 83, however, he seems to take a different tone when discussing Mom, stating that he has made "mistakes" with her. So, it's possible he feels responsible for her deterioration and only keeps her around because of both a need and a remorse, despite his giving off of the latter being contrary to the face he normally presents. Lilah even once called Mom a "charity case".
### **Lucius Marcellus**

Lucius likely shares the same sentiment as his boss and finds her a nuisance. He at least finds her predicaments entertaining, while still asserting any authority over her that he can the way he does with most all the other doctors.
### **Monica Santos**

When Monica was first introduced, Mom harbored hatred toward her, considering Monica a nuisance. She often threw insults at Monica and took any frustrations out on her. It was speculated by Yosuke that because Monica is seen as kind, Mom was projecting her own insecurity and lack of such positive personality traits onto her. It's also speculated that Mom was just, in general, quite jealous of Monica, or perhaps felt threatened by having to share a space with her.
After Ten's confinement, Mom's attitude toward Monica shifted. The two women had found and bonded over a common desire: to be mothers. While Mom is still a tinge parasitic in Monica's willingness to bow her head to the woman and let her be the "superior", she does at least get along well with Monica over this common fascination. And, with time, it seems both women came to be a tiny bit more open with one another over their pasts. Not wholly, but somewhat.
Ever since, both women have been rather friendly to each other, but due to Monica's want to please others, she often let's a lot of Mom's behaviors slide. However, the two do eventually grow a little bit closer, so much so that Mom willingly calls Monica a friend and agrees to share a visit with her despite wanting direly to be alone with Ten after not having been with her for a long time.
### **Parents**

It's been said that Mom's parents were usually quite busy and never tended much to her unless they had to, or had spare time to. She grew to seek attention from her mother especially, often acting out or stealing her makeup. However, Mom only ended up being labelled a disappointment instead of getting the attention she sought, even though her own mother was just as bad a person then as Mom is now.
For the sake of keeping up appearances and holding onto the family money, Mom eventually adjusted herself to her mother's expectations while present around her family, or their friends and business partners. However, she acted most like herself when not at home. Often, Mom used to slink away from important gatherings to mess around with the sons of her parents’ associates. She has always tended to like young, handsome, or rich men, even from a young age.

* Mom's **intelligence type** (per original theory) is Interpersonal
* Mom's **love language** is words of affirmation
* Mom is an only child

* Mom partakes in gambling if/when she has time (along with Sven, Jude and maybe Milos)
* Mom likely had viola or violin lessons orchestrated by her parents when she was younger.
* **Mom's controversial opinion:** *Men should do all the hard work, while women should support them emotionally and sit pretty otherwise*
* Mom is incredibly giving and willing to guide others underneath her crazy and insecure layers
* **Embarrassing fact:** *Once sang karaoke at bars really badly while wasted when she was younger, before proceeding to puke up her liquor on stage*

* **Mom's triggers:** *Being referred to by her real name / having past issues brought up / anything regarding her age*

This is an errand that tends to fall on Nathaniel or Jonathan, since they have the most free time and are usually pretty open to doing things. Yosuke was doing it for her at some point as a favor when not busy working, before Mom’s residence underground was more permanent and doing so became too much of a chore for him.
