Loreta Alcorn is Principal Business Lady's friend in AG 1985. She is mainly introduced so her death becomes a plot point which divides the proper and "bad" timelines of Marrissaverse Stories 2015.
Biography[]
Janet Roberts and Dick Stiller first encounter her in Principal Business Lady's office, where she's seen chatting with Business Lady and smiling, despite being depressed. The author's note included in the excerpt tells the fuller story. She is transgender, but her parents are abusive, leading her to commit suicide by jumping in front of a tank in January 13, AG 1991 (mixing up details of biographies of both Loreta Asanavičiūtė and Leelah Alcorn). In response to this, Principal Business Lady came out as transgender (despite being referred to using "she/her/hers" pronouns in the excerpt that takes place prior to these events).
Later, when Janet and Dick end up in the "bad" timeline of Marrissaverse Stories 2015, they see her grave (which is later driven over by McJuggerNugget's dad, who's in a lawnmower at the time). This grave makes them conclude that the timeline has changed, and they continue to explore the new timeline.
Trivia[]
- In her coming out post, ASBusinessMagnet mentions both Loreta Asanavičiūtė and Leelah Alcorn. She has decided on "Loreta" as her chosen name (and furthermore, the coming out itself was posted on an anniversary of Loreta's death), and Leelah's suicide has been an impetus for her to conceal her true identity, as she doesn't want to be considered suicidal just because she is transgender.
