“	That's right... I do groceries.	„
	~ Lois after beating up Peter and Chris for getting groceries.

“	Listen, I've never told anyone this, but I killed a jaywalker in 2002. She looked old, but she was only 51. I mean, back then, that was old to me. It's why I always talk and ask questions so much. When there's any moment of quiet, I think about her. That's why all mothers do that. Every mother has killed someone. Now drink your ginger ale.	„
	~ Lois Griffin to her son Chris

Lois Patrice Griffin (née Pewterschmidt) (born February 18, 1956) is one of the deuteragonists of the adult animated series Family Guy.

Originally, she was a protagonist, but as she became darker, despite being one of the protagonists, she does have several episodes where she has an antagonistic role.

She’s voiced by Alex Borstein, who’s well-known for her portrayal of Ms. Bonnie Swann on the hit satirical comedy show MADtv, as well as Queen Machina and Madame Woe in Power Rangers Zeo and Negative Wonder Woman in Robot Chicken.

Appearance[]

Lois is a middle-aged Caucasian woman with short orange bell-shaped hair. She is commonly seen dressed in a teal green button-up woman's blouse, tan jeans, and magenta low-heeled shoes with red lipstick.

Personality[]

Initially, Lois is depicted as a stereotypical housewife and doting mother, which, combined with her natural beauty and sexiness, has made her the ideal woman. She has shown to be tolerable of Peter's random shenanigans, putting himself and others in danger whether it's from his unhealthy drinking or reckless idiotic acts, while doing her best to be a living mother and wife.

However, as the series progressed, Lois developed a darker personality. Among them being her apparent taste for Sadomasochism (S&M), dressing as a dominatrix in "Let's Go to the Hop", putting out a lit cigarette on her arm in "Breaking Out is Hard to Do", asking Peter to put his finger in a bullet hole and twist it when he accidentally shot her in "Barely Legal", and directing Peter to kick her breasts in "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag". Several times, Lois raped Peter, yet she sees nothing wrong with this as she believes men can't be forced to have sex.

Lois has also gone from a loving mother to a woman who once admitted that she didn't want children in the first place on several occasions; in "A Fish out of Water", when she and Meg go on Spring Break, during the awkward car-ride, she tells Meg that she took birth control, but taking antibiotics made it fail, evidently causing Meg's birth. In "Peter's Daughter", she instructs Meg on how to have a miscarriage. Chris was also said to be the result of a broken condom in "Emission Impossible", with the resulting lawsuit paying for the Griffins' house.

She has also started showing almost no compassion toward Meg, Chris, and sometimes Stewie on a number of rare occasions, whether either of them gets into serious situations. In almost any episode, Meg is the prime target of various negative comments from Lois, which ranges from an assortment of criticisms about her appearance or personality, sometimes displaying superiority over Meg using her previous relationships, accomplishments, or popularity, often breaking down her daughter's self-esteem more and more with every episode. Lois was even willing to consent to having Principal Shepard create a fake application for Meg in "Meg Goes to College" so Meg would be accepted into a college and that way they would be rid of her.

In several situations where her children show any kind of imperfection that would go against her desires or question her adeptness as a parent, she'd once attempted to come up with an immediate reason to tell people if Chris committed suicide about mental illness in an attempt to gain sympathy; in "Papa Has A Rollin' Son", she asked Dr. Hartman whether or not Stewie would die younger than fourteen after he informed her that he wouldn't grow any taller; in a possible future where Stewie and Brian travel to in "Roads to Vegas", she milked the fact that Stewie had died receiving different gifts and foods from her friends and parents.

Lois would often put her own personal needs above the rest of her family and, because of her egotistical personality, she would develop a control dominatrix over her family and she is more quick to blame others rather than admit her own personal mistakes. Lois is also known to easily get very violent or threatening whenever she is angry. A prime example of this is when she beat up Peter and Chris just because they got the groceries instead of her.

Lois is also willing to resort to blackmail, such as in "Halloween on Spooner Street", where, although she got back Stewie's Halloween candy another boy had stolen, Lois threatened the boy's mother by demanding she also pay her some money as well, or against Quagmire in "Quagmire and Meg", where though she and Peter saved Meg from having sex with Quagmire, she also blackmailed Quagmire into letting her and Peter use his cabin at least once a month.
