**Meredith** is a fan-fictitious character in the Spooky Month series and is Richard's mother. She is a hard-headed woman with an endless ambition and works as a court stenographer.

## Physical Appearance

### Pre-Canon

Meredith is a lean woman who often holds a stern expression. She is about half a head shorter than her husband, Raymond. Her well-brushed, thin brown hair is pushed back with simple headband. It is of mid-back length, although the ends seem to curl outwards—except for her face-framing tendrils that point forwards. She is one of the few female characters in Spooky Month to have no external eyelashes.

She wears a pair of golden, flat-plated bangle bracelets, and two necklaces: one plated and one with a simple jewel. Her signature colour is a yellow-green and after forming a connection with the Fe Flaunts, has adopted a more extravagant clothing taste.

For work attire, Meredith wears a white blouse and a brown, knee-length skirt.

### Canon

As she grows older, Meredith's hair is now short but still long enough to tie a small, low bun. She is often seen in cardigans and loose-fitting gowns.

### Design Notes

* no eyelashes (not literally)
* ends of hair curl outwards, never straight
* wears a hairband
* long legs
* notable eye wrinkle

## Personality

Meredith presents herself as someone who is well-groomed, prim and educated. She is a responsible woman who masks herself a with a thorny exterior in order for those to take her seriously. She is not afraid to vocalise her displeasure or opinions, and she stands her ground. To her family and dear friends, her up kept attitude loosens up; the mask and mimicry does not fully drop but the effort wavers. Profanities may fly, temperament may rise a little quicker... still, she can be cheery and lively than before. Meredith is more open about her thoughts. She enjoys spending money for the people she loves.

Meredith fears the idea of being judged—or specially, being viewed as inferior. She desperately yearns for respect as she grew up being a doormat for her family. As a result, she harbours an inner resentment towards herself and her frustrating past. She believes she can achieve a more rich purpose at the higher social circles, finding her own place to be crass and insensitive.

Her need to appear respectable was an influence in Richard's upbringing.
