Lorna Fielding is a trans woman and a student activist for trans rights attending the Royal College of Saint Almsworth. She is in a relationship with Vicky and has been read in to the programme.
Lorna is around 183 cm (6'0") tall. Vicky says Lorna has "the sweetest voice" and reports that she has worked very hard on it; for her part, Lorna "hates" how she sounds. [SD 3] She seems to still be somewhat early in her medical transition; Christine notes that she has been filling out and looking more comfortable in her clothes as of late 2019 and that she is "becoming strikingly beautiful". [SD 8]
Lorna and Vicky share a house in Almsworth off the Saints campus; they share the house with two girls unaffiliated with the Hall, and rent the top floor together. [SD 3]
She is socially acquainted with Indira's mother Aasha Chetry, having met her at trans rights demonstrations. [SD 21]
Dorley Hall
Lorna first met Vicky while studying Philosophy at Saints [SD 20] and, unaware of her history at Dorley Hall, believed her to be a cis woman. Following her NPH, Vicky led her to believe that she stayed at Dorley Hall for a period of time as a disadvantaged student; she met all her friends there but doesn't like to talk about it. Vicky sneaks estrogen out of the Hall's stash for her, but leads Lorna to believe that she is getting it from "some girl there" who likes her secrecy. [SD 20] Despite Vicky's secrecy, the two are often visiting the Hall or having social interactions with Dorley girls -- they raid Paige's wardrobe (stored in Vicky's old room at the Hall) to steal clothes, [SD 8] and occasionally go out clubbing with Vicky's friends from the Hall. [SD 7]
Disclosure
On October 16th, Lorna attends a protest at the Anthill against Katherine Frost with Vicky, Indira, and Christine; she delivers a speech while standing on a picnic table. [SD 8] Afterward, she gives Christine an invite to the Trans Youth UK Consensus server, believing she has a trans friend who is trapped in a difficult living situation (in reality, it is Steph, newly admitted to the basement) and needs advice as a cis ally. Vicky reveals to Christine that Lorna has recently received a date for her FFS. [SD 8]
She is eventually read into the programme by Christine, Paige, and Stephanie. [SD 20] She is initially furious with the programme, and specifically takes her anger out on Christine. Later, she comes to understand the nuances of the programme, and apologises. She is openly given access to HRT, along with consults for facial electrolysis and bottom surgery, to be covered by Dorley.
Trivia
- Lorna and Vicky have a Brain and Behaviour course together. [SD 3]
- Lorna's handle on the Trans Youth UK Consensus server is "cicada" [SD 8]
Notes on biographical information
- Parents - Information about Lorna's parents and her relationship with them is somewhat contradictory. Vicky mentions that she visited her parents overnight,[SD 10] but we later find out that her mother moved out sometime after she was fifteen;[SD 20] Lorna regarded her mother as a source of "danger" before that,[SD 20] and she suggests that her mother would "kill her" for being a woman.[SD 20] It's possible that she stayed with her father and only briefly visited her mother (perhaps while boymoding), or that she stayed with her father and a step-parent.
- Height - Lorna and Vicky are "both only a couple of centimetres apart from Paige in height"; Paige is 183 cm (6'0") tall. [SD 8]
