Louise Bayer is a sickly Innocent living in the town of Kennet. She became aware after witnessing the death of The Carmine Beast. Her testimony proved improtant.

Personality

She is very generous. She is regretful of her life decisions and she makes sure that other people don't make her mistakes.

Relationships

Snowdrop occasionally visits her, Louise gives her milk and food and lets her sleep in her spare room.<ref>I'm there pretty often, y'know. But she's awful. Tells me I'm not anything like family, I'm horrible. We have a deal, where I don't nag her about the smoking and stuff, and she doesn't make me drink my milk or eat her cooking. - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.1</ref><ref>I know Snowdrop stays in her spare room.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.1</ref>

Melissa has also been in contact whilst trying to find out about the strange things that had been happening to her.<ref name=":0">“Yeah.  Huh.  She said I could phone and ask her if I had questions or come by if I wanted to sound her out about any of the weird stuff around town.  But she doesn’t know jack.  So instead it became about me complaining and she’ll listen even though she has way worse issues, apparently.  Want one?  Or are you going to rat me out to your Auntie Louise?”

“I’m nothing like a rat.”

“Cool.  Want one, then?”

“Sure.  Cool.”

Snowdrop took the offered cigarette.  Melissa reached over with the lighter.  Snowdrop let her light it, then held it away from her mouth, burning and making smoke that made her want to sneeze.

“Stole them from her.  She had a bunch stowed away.” - Excerpt from Vanishing Points 8.8</ref> She also occaisionally steals her cigarettes.<ref name=":0" />

Matthew moved in with her after his relationship with Edith broke down.<ref>“I told Louise I’d bring food.”- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.9</ref>

Description

Caucasian with dark hair, she is a bit squat and weathered from the outdoors.<ref>Louise Bayer was maybe Ms. Hardy’s age, but she didn’t wear makeup or dress up.  She sat on the porch, cigarette in one corner of her mouth, book in her lap.  Dark hair, slightly-weather worn skin that had darkened a shade in the sun, and a demeanor that made Avery think that she could be a ranch owner or something.  Like she spent a lot of years working hard.  Even if she wasn’t muscular or anything.  Just… tired. - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.9</ref>

Abilities

She has multiple health problems, including diabetes and kidney problems including in her torso and joints.<ref>Endless health problems
[...]
I have diabetes - Excerpt from Blood Run Cold 0.0</ref> She was blessed with more life after having her pain taken away.

She does not form her Connections to things until she needs to,<ref>“You them?” the woman asked.

Lucy nodded.

Avery switched on the Sight, to look for traps, or anything tricky.  What she saw, instead, was the unfurling of connections that had been folded up or hidden.  Bands stretching out from Louise to places in Kennet. - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.9</ref> she seems completely innocent otherwise.<ref>“Option four,” Avery said.  “This is all a dream and pranks and other stuff.  Blame your meds or something from your foot.”

“Blood poisoning or organ stuff.  When my kidney acted up I went a little crazy,” Louise said.

“That’s a bit of a leap,” Melissa said.

Louise shrugged.  “I spent too long not focusing on stuff I should, let my health go.  It’s not that hard to turn that kind of thinking toward this stuff.”
[...]
“I know there’s weirdness out there,” Louise said.  “I let myself forget it, and it all slips away.” - Excerpt from One After Another 10.b</ref>

The Carmine beast granted her power but that didn't work out well.<ref>- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.3</ref>

Chronology

She used to work for a trucking company, she was briefly made manager but had to stop working due to her bad health.<ref>“After I started getting sick I was dispatch for the trucking company.  Then I was dispatch manager for a month.  Did pretty well, if I say so myself, but then I got sicker.  Got too hard to get in and out, I took disability.”- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.1</ref>

Witnessed the death of the Carmine Beast.<ref>Excerpt from Blood Run Cold 0.0</ref>

Her health problems returned later.

When preparing for the demesne ritual the trio asked her to represent the innocent side of Kennet.<ref>“For Louise and Melissa, we’d like Melissa to be a blackguard.  Lying for us, helping us to manage situations,” Avery said.  “Louise as a representative for humans.  We had someone who did that before.”- Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.5</ref>
