Helena Spivit
Helena Spivit is Lori’s mother. Caring and pragmatic, yet busy, she juggles work and raising her daughters alone.
She first appears when she accidentally finds Lori with the Magic Moon Lantern on and the room’s walls covered in writing. Their relationship is warm but lacking mutual understanding.
She doesn’t take lantern magic seriously: her reaction to her daughter’s creative “miracles” is detached and rationalizing — she cannot see the lantern’s value and has no wish to learn or understand. This deepens Lori’s isolation and pushes her further into art.
