Lori Walls

She is the oldest child of the family but isn’t the one who dominates. She's closer to her mother, Rose Mary, as she shares her interests in art. Lori is particularly intelligent and loves reading fantasy novels as a form of escape. She often sympathizes with Mom while blaming Dad for the family's problems.

The first three years after the birth, Lori was bald, like a knee, and could not even say a word. Then, quite unexpectedly, she had bright copper-colored hair, and she began to talk without stopping so that it was impossible to interrupt her. However, nobody could understand the meaning of Lori's words. Everyone thought that the child was crazy. Only one mother understood her perfectly and claimed that she had a rich vocabulary.

She is smart and loving, but without Jeannette, hasn’t the courage to escape the life she hates. From an early age, she decides she wants to be an artist, and as the first of the siblings to move to New York, she pursues this dream by working at a German restaurant in the city to save up money. Then she becomes an illustrator.
