Background/History: Matriarch of The Addams Family. Morticia (derived from "mors mortis", the Latin word for "death", and perhaps also from "mortician") is the wife of Gomez Addams and mother of Wednesday and Pugsley.
Personality/Motivation: The real head of the family. Low-voiced, incisive and subtle, smiles are rare. Ruined beauty, contemptuous and original, with fierce family loyalty. Even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly. Given to low-keyed rhapsodies about her garden of deadly nightshade, henbane, and dwarf's hair.
She frequently enjoys cutting the buds off of roses which she discards, keeping only the stems. She also has a carnivorous plant, an African Strangler named Cleopatra, which she enjoys feeding. Morticia also has an affinity for making certain that her family upholds the traditional Addams way, and is usually the most taken aback when one of the clan goes astray and does something "pleasant."
Quote: "I'm just like any modern woman trying to have it all. Loving husband, a family. It's just, I wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade."
Powers/Tactics: She easily allures her husband Gomez by speaking French (or any other foreign language for that matter). Morticia is musically inclined, and is often seen freely strumming a shamisen.
Appearance: Morticia is described as a vamp; she has pale skin and long black hair. She commonly wears black gothic dresses to match her hair, tightly form fitting, with a hobble skirt. According to Wednesday, Morticia applies baking powder to her face instead of actual makeup.
