hello there, i go by b, but you can call me bi, bia, bianca, whatever floats your boat tbh. apologies for the late intro, but i was waiting for tumblr to actually let me show on the tag, who knows if it will obey me though. i actually work in an auto shop so this is bound to be some fun!! 

lorraine was born just on the outskirts of paris, to a father that was filthy rich, and a southern, small town woman for a mother. her father (lorraine's grandfather) had owned parker and son for two generations, but he had had no son, only a daughter whose interests were not to be found in a small little town in america.

lorraine went on to grow like the perfect heiress should: pretty, charming, just enough clever, just enough intelligent, on the outer layer. to see beyond a facade becomes easy once you're meant to hold one of your own, and lorraine was good at that (both at seeing past someone's crap and to keep up her own).

the last thing she had ever wanted was to marry. marriage hinders freedom and makes women just another object of men, and lorraine would rather die than to lie flat and just take it. so she has always made suitors scatter, which has made her gain a reputation of being difficult (which is a ghastly thing for a woman, even nowadays, so imagine it 60 years ago).

she lost her twin brother on the end of the war, and because the heartache was too large, the rest of the family moved to america. lorraine, already naturally temperamental, shut herself further, becoming quite stingy. she stopped pretending to finding joy in social obligations, and retreated mostly to her room, though she did enjoy spending time in the garage.

her fixation on mechanics had grown on the time spent with her grandfather. he was her favorite family member, who spoiled her the most, and who taught her her way around a simple filter oil change and through the most complicated engines. but being a mechanic was not what was expected of a young woman who had the best parisian education, nor it was proper (tbh this is what made her want it more).

when she became older, her parents made an arrangement in an inheritance contract that stipulated she would only get to the fortune if she married. though she was furious, she was sensible enough to know there wouldn't be much way to get around this.

enters the friendsville marriage contract. she found the arrangement to be, ironically, her ticket to freedom. 

it has been nearly a year she has married nicholas, and i believe they are quite a match (she does too, but will she ever admit it? lmao). they are both big fakes.

she has since reopened her father’s auto shop, though she resigns herself to the running of the shop rather than the covered in grease bit. she finds misogyny a hilarious and lucrative thing, because since men often look past her, she often has not only the upper hand, but also the gossip (because men gossip much worse than women BELIEVE ME).

personality wise, she is duplicitous and deviant. her difficult label is one only her employees (and nicholas lbr) get to know, and friendsville knows of lorraine cooke as the perfect wife and woman, a golden rose. keeping her thorns concealed can be more fun anyways. 

extra:

though she was born and bred in france, she has no perceptive accent anymore (though her french comes out strong when she is angry). she can also speak italian, and teaches herself languagues when she is bored/has the time.

she used to be called raine/reine when she was growing up, not only because it is the diminutive of her name, but because she is a bit of a queen (and certainly behaves as spoiled).

she is quite vain, and always wants to keep up with the trends.

she is very much aware of her husband's personality and affairs. it has become a topic of discussion between them, especially because she believes in an eye for an eye and definitely has made a competition in how many women can we fuck outside of wedlock.

yes, she's super bi. women are a gift to the humankind. 

talking about women...lorraine has became a bit of a patron to women in town, aiming to support them financially into a professional life that hardly has any space for them anymore.

and lastly, lorraine is currently on the VERY early stages of pregnancy (1 month ish!) so we gonna see how that will go!!!
