The Mother with Sunglasses is a minor character in the Enemy series, first appearing in The Enemy. She was a young mother who appeared to be the leader of the Gym Bunnies, a group of sickos who, due to their physical condition and resistance to sunlight, had become harder to kill.
She first appears as the leader of the Gym Bunnies, a group of adults, and leads in an attack against DogNut's crew early on.
Appearance
The Mother with Sunglasses wore a pair of jogging pants and had her hair pulled back in a crude ponytail. She had boils and spots on her face, and her teeth were black from over a year of neglect and disease. She had a Celtic knot tattoo on her wrist, and, most notably, she wore a pair of sunglasses that she found on a model head inside a shop.
Personality
Nothing is known about the Mother with Sunglasses's personality before she became infected.
Though the Mother with Sunglasses does not speak, the reader learns a bit about her through an internal monologue. She refers to the groups of kids as "hunters", and misses the early days of the disaster where she didn't have to be part of a group and the children were less defended.[1]
Biography
Background
Over the year that passed since the beginning of the disaster, The Mother with Sunglasses and her group slowly became resistant to sunlight to the point where they were able to roam around in the daytime unharmed.
"These are strange new times," said Matt. "But it was all there, in the pages of the Bible. We just had to be shown it properly." To prevent confusion, the following events are presented in the order they happen in-universe, rather than in the order of the books' release. |
The Fear (2011)
The following morning, the Mother with Sunglasses sets up a trap for DogNut's crew as they leave the Natural History Museum. As one of her group tries to go out to attack the kids, she asserts her authority by grunting at him and flashing her knife.[1]
When the kids try to escape into the Tube system, the Mother with Sunglasses slices Felix's face with Marco's knife, blinding him. She later attacks and kills DogNut by stabbing him between his backpack and his breastplate[2]
The Enemy (2009)
The battle is interrupted by the arrival of the Holloway crew, and the Mother with Sunglasses is killed along with the rest of her group.[3]
