"I have weird thoughts. Like sometimes I want to go sleep in the woods or in the basement of an abandoned house during the day and only come out at night and be, like, a monster and, like, beautiful."
— Lori
Lori Meyers is a teenage mouse who lives on Chestnut Street, but is often found hanging out on the rooftops alone. Her birthday is in February.
Appearance[]
Lori is a grey rodent with dark blue eyes and yellow scleras. She wears a light green t-shirt with a darker green symbol in the center. The symbol looks like an upside down triangle enclosed in a circle. Over the t-shirt is a dark reddish brown hooded jacket. She also wears a pair of blue cuffed jeans and black shoes.
Personality[]
Lori is a somewhat socially awkward and morbid youth with a passion for horror movies, especially in the realms of filmmaking. Rather than attend Harfest, Lori will instead choose to watch horror films by herself. Her interest into the macabre sometimes even stretches into personal fascination, as Lori often has weird thoughts about murder or may seek out morbid videos.
She also has low self-esteem, believing herself to be "objectively gross," though Mae finds her to look normal. When nervous, Lori may sometimes hyper-ventilate.
Background[]
Not only has she seen a great deal of horror movies, Lori wishes to go to horror movie school and eventually write and direct a horror film in the future. Already possessing some knowledge on horror movie special effects, Lori sometimes draws her own design ideas about special effects makeup or horror movie villains.
When she's excited at night, she may even lay and sleep in between railroad tracks or think about sleeping in the woods or in a basement of an abandoned house. Lori also enjoys going to the railroad tracks and squishing metal dudes by train on the rails.
Lori lives on Chestnut street, where her house is positioned right next to the railways. Her birthday is in February.
Trivia[]
