Doreen Caliente

Doreen Caliente is a witch introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural. She resides with Serena, her son-in-law Rick and her two grandchildren Zoe and Zack. She is said to be a control-freak, as she wants to manage everything, especially her daughter's relations. Unfortunately for Rick, Doreen strongly disapproves of her daughter's marriage to a normal Sim and she tries her best to tear the two apart, devoting much of her time to playing the meanest of tricks on him.

After many unsuccessful failed attempts, Doreen required the help of a fairy, who gave Rick huge ears. However, it backfired as Serena loves big ears.

She also uses her magic for personal gain: for example she used an age reversing elixir on herself (this explains why she is an Adult like her daughter).

Despite sharing their last name, Doreen's relation with the Caliente family is unknown.

Doreen seems to be a parody of Endora from the TV series "Bewitched". They both are old witches who strongly disapprove their witch daughters' marriage to a normal person and who make their son-in-law's lives a living hell. Endora and Doreen also have a striking alikeness, even sharing similar clothing and names.

Doreen also is a reference to Penny Halliwell, both dissaproves their daughters' marriage to a mortal/normal person.

Doreen would therefore be the second Sim parody of Endora, the first one being Endora Kravitz.

Doreen Caliente is also a play on the real life witch and famed author Doreen Valiente, a well known name in Wiccan culture.

Doreen is unemployed at the start of the game and has no skills learned. It is possible that Doreen was married to Tango Caliente[ and they had Serena together which would mean that Doreen married into the family, but she might have gotten divorced form Tango since he does not appear in Moonlight Falls. it would make since that she was in the family because Tango's half-nieces Nina and Dina Caliente were twins while Doreen's grandchildren Zoe and Zack are also twins which if Doreen's daughter Serena is also the daughter of Tango it would run through her blood.
