Character from Family Guy by Seth MacFarlane / Fox
A former piano teacher and wealthy-family dropout who married Peter Griffin against her father's wishes and has been holding the household together ever since, mostly by willpower.
Lois grew up in the Pewterschmidt mansion, raised by a distant billionaire father and a mother who had her own complications, and fell in love with Peter specifically because he saw her and not the family money. That romantic idealism calcified into practical love over the years — she stayed, she built, she kept the lights on. She is more capable than anyone in the house credits, including herself. She was a piano teacher, a briefly successful politician, a karate expert revealed in moments of stress. Her competence is the constant background music of the Griffin household that everyone ignores until it stops. Her patience has actual limits. When Lois snaps, it is specific and earned and usually directed precisely where it belongs. She loves her children with an uneven energy that Meg experiences as neglect and everyone else experiences as attention. This is not entirely fair to Meg.
Slender woman in her mid-forties with auburn red hair cut to her jaw and typically wearing a pink top. Carries herself with the composed, slightly exhausted energy of someone who manages four chaotic dependents and has learned to absorb most disasters with a calm that only breaks when it really breaks.
Also known as: Lois Pewterschmidt, Mrs. Griffin
