Susanna Morales

Susanna Morales is a real estate agent, private investigator, and the mother of Natalie Mayhew. She is the peaceful world's equivalent of Judge Susanna Morales.

Personality
Susanna is very empathetic and cares a lot about everyone she is near, especially people in need. She can, however, be very stubborn and obstinate, which causes friction with her daughter, Natalie. She often wears bright and distracting clothing, though the Greystones theorize this is in order to draw attention to herself and away from whoever happens to be with her. This would be due to her secret job of private investigator for women in abusive relationships, getting information for them in order to use in a divorce. She often also takes care of their children while this is happening, something Natalie is used to.

Her stubbornness is her most difficult trait, as she often does not listen to Natalie or think outside of her preconceived notions. She also seems a little ignorant of danger and distress, such as when she doubled back during the escape from the Other World.

Early Life
Susanna is a real estate agent, though she also has a secret job as a private investigator. She investigates abusive and/or cheating partners to gather enough evidence for their partners to take them to court, and has a soundproof room in her house in order to work this job inside.

She was married to Roger Mayhew, but the two divorced, which their daughter, Natalie Mayhew, blames on her being "horrible" to him. Natalie lived mainly in the custody of her mother, and Susanna would often take her to houses she was attempting to sell, unknowingly giving Natalie an ability to distinguish architecture. Natalie also disrespected her mother's secret job, calling her a professional snoop; the two had trouble getting along, mainly due to Natalie's rebelliousness colliding with Susanna's stubbornness.

She used to be in the elementary school's PTO until Natalie's graduation to middle school. She claims Natalie's elementary school days were easier, possibly implying that Natalie's rebellion didn't start until more recently.

She has a high allergy to cats.

Physical Appearance
Finn Gustano nicknamed Susanna "perfume lady" due to her excessive use of perfume. When she first picks up the Greystone children, Emma notes that she wears lots of makeup and hairspray, high heels, dramatically flared black pants, and a frilly blouse with swoopy sleeves. She describes the outfit as if she might have been crying for attention.

Susanna is Mexican and still has relatives there; due to this, she can speak Spanish, unlike Natalie.

Trivia

 * Her name, "Susanna", derives from Σουσαννα (Sousanna), which is the greek form of the hebrew name שׁוֹשַׁנָּה (Shoshannah), meaning "lily."
 * Her surname, "Morales,' is derived from the spanish moral, meaning "mulberry tree." As this is a primarily Spanish surname, this could imply that Susanna is hispanic or latine.
