Characterisation of Fiona, Marcus's mother

Fiona is Marcus's mother and 38 years old. She's a single mother and has to care for her son on her own. She works the whole day (she's a music therapist).

She might look like this...After Fiona and her son have moved to London she becomes depressed. She has got only one friend there and feels lonely. Also she has lost being interested in any special things.

She is different from other people because she lives like people did 20 years ago. She's a hippie and doesn't want to accept the fashion or the music of the 90's. So she educates Marcus to like only her things and doesn't allowed him to listen to Nirvana or eat any meat.

Even though she hasn't really wanted a kid she knows she has no other choice than caring for him. So she has to get along with many other things although she doesn't want to. She thinks her life has turned in a way which she has never want to go. Because she's unlucky about herself she tries to commit suicide, but it doesn't work. But when she gets to know Rachel she starts to realize that life is something worth.
