A little bit about Douglass:
Character Name: Douglass Foxglove
• Creed: Inquisitive – gathering intel and understanding the quarry
• Drive: Curiosity – what do monsters do and why
• One Touchstone: my great gma who is in assisted living. She’s almost 103, though she tells people she’s 104, or 140. Martha Foxglove. Oma lives at Artis Senior Living, about a mile and a half from my house - so I can walk there!
: 2nd: Abhijeet (the local drag queen)
• Describe what the character looks like in one or two sentences: kinda mousy, glasses, smile/smirk.
Lived in Chicago as a kid, then moved to Milwaukee as an older teen with my family for my dad’s job. I went back to Chicago for school. Gran lives in Chicago, but now in assisted living, so my larger family is in WI, but Gran is still in Chicago. She was a hard-core old-school Catholic who still took us all to mass in Latin, so I grew up knowing some latin and English. Then with my degree, I took more latin, so I am fluent in both.
I live at: 4318 N Sheridan Rd, Chicago, IL 60613 - which has a weird eclectic gay occult vibe.
I’m a librarian, and was always interested in the spooky spooks, because it’s fun to be scared as a kid, but then there are some things that just do NOT add up. I was out on NYE a couple years ago and saw all kinds of weird stuff happen at the Mansion as I was going back to my car. I recorded it on my cell, but nothing hit the news and by the next morning it seemed like the cloud dropped all the video and pictures I took. The only person I KNOW saw something is Abhijeet (the local drag queen) she was out preforming that night, and I got to know her for the years she was less known, homeless and “lived” a lot at the library. Now she still comes back to do drag story hour, and does drag dim sum in the city too. We’ve talked about it – but seems like the whole city forgot a building was on fire with crazy looked netted people, blood everywhere, and vampires that sure didn’t look like a new art installment!
I am a friend of crows. I read about making friends with them, and they do have facial recognition, so I think I can make them do things.
I am a libarian at the Harold Washington Library Center
