Personalities[]

Maudeline and Finis Everglot are stern and cold. Neither truly love each other, only seeing their marriage as a partnership. They are both quite concerned with propriety and proper appearances. Both of them coming from wealthy backgrounds, they are extravagant, pretentious, arrogant, expecting everything to be done perfectly for them because of their status.

Neither of the Everglots care about their daughter, instead neglecting her and leaving the home's help to raise her. They were both willing to force her to marry whomever they pleased in order to have their own needs met.

Biography[]

Both of them are seen at the beginning of the movie singing about how everything has to be perfect in order for the wedding between her daughter and the main character to be successful. They are later seen talking to their daughter about the marriage, and how they don't really love each other. They reconvene to meet the groom (Victor) and his parents, touring them around the house. Soon they and the groom's parents watch on at the rehearsal. During the rehearsal, Victor dropped the candle by mistake, her dress was nearly on fire and Barkis puts out the fire with his wine, her and the whole family were very disappointed in Victor.

After the Corpse Bride took Victor away, the Everglots were informed of the trouble. They both became angry with Victor's parents, and so Victor's parents pleaded to give them until noon. They would be seen again briefly a while after this talking about how they would strangle him for leaving.

After Victoria witnessed Victor be taken away by Emily, she went to her parents for help, but they didn't believe her and instead sent her in her room. Victoria escaped to tell the Priest, who returned her to the Everglots to tell them that she was insane. They then forced their maid and butler to lock Victoria's window to make sure she doesn't escape again. When Lord Barkis comes up to the Everglot family, he persuades to marry Victoria and agrees with him. They then forced their daughter to marry Barkis instead, which went according to plan. Later, during the reception, the underworld began to rise and come into the world of the living. They invaded the Everglot's home, causing a ruckus to occur. All of their mansion's help escaped and they were forced to deal with the dead themselves. After seeing one of Finis' dead relatives, they both ran straight to their rooms with fear. It is unknown if they ever found out if Lord Barkis was merely planning to marry their daughter for their money, or if he had intended to kill her afterwards.
