Specter family

{{Family The Specter Family consists of Olive Specter and her niece Ophelia Nigmos. Olive also has a son, Nervous Subject. He was taken away from her as a child, for reasons unknown, and his father is believed to be the Grim Reaper, although there is no father shown in his family tree. When she dies, only two days after you start playing the Specter lot, her inheritance goes to Nervous. He lives with the Beaker Family.

Olive Specter and her deceased sister, Willow Nigmos, were children of Lerato Muenda and Peponi Muenda.

There is something eerie about Olive Specter...Olive seems to have a dark past. Her memories show she was left at the altar when she was an adult, and afterwards, the man who left her at the altar, Earl E. DeMise, well... met his early demise. She married many times after that, and all of her other husbands met an early end, as well. She was also the witness to several NPC deaths, and their graves remain on her lot. Their ghosts wreak havoc on the yard, causing many puddles and weeds to appear, showing that the ghosts are obviously angry. It is assumed (and hinted at heavily in the game itself) that she is a mass murderer.

Ophelia Nigmos is the daughter of the deceased Creon and Willow Nigmos. She was sent to live with Olive after their deaths. Olive and Ophelia's address is 13 Dead End Lane.
 * etymology     = Specter ghost, or something that haunts the mind

Olive Specter: The olive tree.

Ichabod Specter (Olive's late husband): Hebrew for 'without honor'. Could refer to the character Ichabod of Sleepy Hollow.

Rigger Mortis (Olive's second husband): 'Rigger' means to rig or dresses, while 'Mortis' refers to the French word 'mort', which means death. Rigor Mortis is a state in which a corpse's limbs become stiff and difficult to move.

Lou Thanasia (Hugh's brother): A shortening of the given name Louis. Louis means "Famed Warrior." Sounds similar to Hugh Thanasia, so could also mean "good death."

Tim Lee DeMise (Earl's brother): Perhaps could refer to "Timely Demise" - "timely death."

Nigmos -- Possibly taken from "enigma" - a mysterious occurrence, perhaps referring to the deaths of Olive's victims. Also means "a confusing character or person", which could possibly refer to Olive herself.

Ophelia Nigmos (Olive's niece): In Ancient Greek, it means "help."

Willow Nigmos (Ophelia's mother, Olive's sister): Refers to the Willow Tree. Creon Nigmos (Ophelia's father): In Greek, means 'ruler'.
