Louise María Garcia // Louie

A demanding old hag, Louie has the trigger-happy temper of a toddler and the totally disparate sense of community of an anarchist. Though she has a moral code of her own which doesn't entirely alienate commonfolk, her independence is vehemently asserted through her self-requirement of social dominance and practical omniscience. Though Louie sees the need to earn respect in order to obtain control, her motivation is the ultimate reward: Control. She sees the social ladder as a nuisance, not an experience; it impedes her way as she crawls her way as far as she'll go. Capable of intense heartlessness as much as incredible compassion, Louie's reactions are unnervingly unpredictable. She is a utopian activist— a social peacemaker— but in her zealous, often manic way she is the very thing she intends to eliminate from existence. Her motions are without irony; without any hint of sarcasm, she claims the moral highground despite dipping into even the darkest solutions. To her the end does justify the means, and to her the end is quite literally priceless. Her views are tragic in their disconcertingly paradoxical natures: A utopian zealot, a violent pacifist, a benevolent terror— and each facet etched into the confines of her brain by a frantic, confounded mind. Her attitude is raw and berserking, but her bark is far worse than her bite. She relies on the very community she fails to identify with to overcome her adversities, and in this she must, sooner than later, begin to form a clearer vision of the future.
