#ghs clock master

graaaahhhh I feel like an edgy cornball drawing this

full drawing under cut

Madame Loretta or Loretta Moreau 🇫🇷 died in the late 1800s at her estate, where she accumulated a pile of garbage from loneliness and despair (hoarding). There was a fire and her ghost began to wander until she wandered into the hotel. She is also the closest relative of Hell's Chef

She settled there, opening her own antique shop, but she was also "lucky" to be next door to a Clock Master, with whom things didn't go well right away. They preferred not to cross paths most of the time, but then Clock Master started drinking and that's when the shit started. They couldn't share their personal space all the time. Because one of them was making noise in the workshop and leaving bottles, and the other one hates alcohol and also leaves dusty trash everywhere. Their quarrels were not serious and did not come to blows, they were more like two children who bully each other all the time just because these two are bored. But there were times when they often had to compromise, briefly arranging a truce

Gradually, from the "feuding neighbors" and with the help of some other residents of the hotel, Loretta and Clock Master began to realize that they were similar in many ways due to their common problems with loneliness and hopeless situation. The senseless feud has come to an end. Increasingly, they began to spend time in each other's company, and Loretta became very dear to him, not only as a neighbor in misfortune. Passive-aggressive jokes turned into warm gatherings over tea. Friendship also helped them to start getting rid of old habits (alcoholism and hoarding). They were able to cope with all the difficulties and the friendship developed into warm feelings, and then a relationship

(A collection of the backstories of certain guests before they arrived at Gregory House. Headcanon mostly.)

Neko Zombie - Formerly Miru Nekoyama. Family were immigrants from Japan and were pretty much driven out of their home by racist bullying. He originally arrived with both parents. When the family got the suspicion that something was up with Gregory House, they planned to leave. Neko Zombie was the only survivor of their escape attempt.

Lost Doll - Formerly Katherine/"Katie". Parents were extremely strict and expected her to inherit the family business. They wouldn't let her do anything that didn't involve the pursuit of that or associate with people outside her social class. She held in a lot of built-up anger and resentment towards them for that, but them throwing out her beloved doll was what made her snap and run away to Gregory House.

Hell Chef - Formerly Fachnan. Grew up in an abusive and overly critical household and developed anger issues as a result. Attempting to host his dream restaurant after cutting ties with them, he didn't have many customers despite his delicious food, due to his fear of criticism causing him to lash out at anyone who had the slightest problem with his cooking. Eventually, he decided he was in need of serious help, and went searching for a place to work so he could get enough money to afford therapy. Unfortunately, he ended up at Gregory House.

Catherine - Sexually harassed by her co-workers at the hospital she worked at. When it became too much to handle, she searched for a new workplace and came across Gregory House.
