Template:Infobox"You may come out when you learn to be a loving daughter!" ~ Other Mother
The Other Mother is the villian from the novel (and its film adaptation) Template:ImportantCoraline. She lives in the Otherworld where she waits for children to come find her, and pretends she's just a Button eyed version of their Mom. Button eye is not an expression. She sends out dolls to watch the children, and get to know them and their neighbors. Then she makes ragdoll like copies of them called the "Others'. It's all a trap, so she can sew buttons over your eyes and eat your life. One girl, Coraline escapes and saves her three prievous victims and her parents. Coraline also has a cat rip off her eyes, and destroys her hand. It's unknown if this horrible creature is still alive.
Other Mother's 2nd Form
Other Mother's 3rd Form
At first "Other Mother" appeared as sweet and well-mannered mother who adored Coraline and had a seemingly loving relationship with the "Other Father" - living in what could be described as an only slightly twisted version of Utopia.
Yet as Coraline grew more rebellious the "Other Mother" began to change, becoming more vindictive and cruel - not just towards Coraline but her own creations, becoming abusive towards "Other Father" and "Other Wyborne" then towards Coraline herself after she confronts "Other Mother".
Changing into a monstrous and inhumanly tall monster "Other Mother" quickly transformed the "Other" world into an outright dystopia - yet Coraline managed to convince her to play a "game" (as she was obsessed with games).
The "game" was simple, Coraline would free the children that "Other Mother" had captured, if she won "Other Mother" would have to let her and everyone else go - if she failed "Other Mother" would keep her and sew buttons onto her eyes.
The "Other Mother" agrees and utilizes many evil illusions and henchmen in her goal to stop Coraline, in a tragic scene an enslaved "Other Father" apologizes to Coraline as he is forced to confront her: yet he fights against the "Other Mother's" control (geniunely caring for Coraline) and falls to his apparent death, as he does so he gives Coraline one of the ghost children's eyes.
Coraline then steals the other two ghost children's eyes - one from the two actresses that lived down the stairs from her: who "Other Mother" transformed into a hideous monster which Coraline defeated via tricking a gang of demonic "bat-dogs" into attacking them long enough for her to grab the ghost child's eye and flee.
The fial ghost child's eye is held by the eccentric cirus ringmaster, who "Other Mother" transforms into a mass of hideous rats, who swarm Coraline - they almost succeed in escaping with the ghost child's eye but a black cat (who had been acting as Coraline's benefactor) killed one of the rats and thus Coraline recieved the final ghost child's eye.
