Lorelei Finch

Lorelei Emiline Finch is one of the principal protagonists of As the Orb Turns. She lives in Wacovia, DW, Orbin Federation, and attends the local high school.

Bio
Lorelei was born on June 10, 1974. She has an older brother, Evan (born 1966). She, like the rest of her family, has a tendency towards being overweight. Her family belong to the Roman Catholic Church, and she attended a private Catholic School until grade 2.

She first met Clarence Roland in grade 2, when he was in grade 3, after he rescued her from a bully who was picking on her. After this, she developed a massive crush on the boy, and concluded that he was her husband (not properly understanding the meaning of the word). He told her to go away and made her cry, but eventually called her on the telephone and apologized, and she apologized for harassing him. They have been close friends ever since.

In autumn 1990, Lorelei and her family lived in Philadelphia for a couple months while her father was supervising his construction company's first foreign job. This was an enormous learning experience for Lorelei, who had prior never been to another country before.

Clarence would eventually begin dating the skinny, bespecticled, ultra-relgious Marie Herzeleid, whom Lorelei hates. According to Lorelei, Marie once came up to her and asked if she would like to take part in her church's Hell-House for Halloween, saying it would be great to have an actual Roman Catholic for the room showing the eternal damnation Catholics suffer according to Jack Chick--though this claim is not verified.

Lorelei would go on to date Bruce Crestwood, captain of the football team, after he revealed to her that he secretly likes chubby girls. However, this would fall apart when it was discovered that he was pretend-dating a cheerleader to cover up, feeling ashamed of Lorelei. Clarence would challenge him to a fight and reveal Bruce's secret and dirty behavior, and destroy his reputation. Clarence later took Lorelei to senior prom, where they fell in love, or realized that they loved each other all along, and have been a happy couple since.

After the events of A Squatching We Will Go, their friends would discover that they were lovers.

Lorelei is a fan of Rickie Lee Jones and the J. Geils Band. In addition, the first record she ever bought was "Hold Me Now" by Thompson Twins.
