Lorelai Gilmore is a character from Gilmore Girls. She is the mother of Rory Gilmore and daughter of the wealthy Emily and Richard Gilmore.
Canon
Lorelai was a wild child who got pregnant at 16. She declined to marry the father and lived with her parents until after her daughter, Rory, was born. Lorelai and Rory ran away from the Gilmore's oppressive house and ended up in a weird little town called Stars Hollow, where they stayed. Lorelai worked as a maid at an inn, eventually working her way up to manager. Rory gets accepted into an expensive private high school, and Lorelai approaches her mostly estranged parents for help with the tuition. Emily and Richard agree - on the condition that Rory and Lorelai attend a family dinner every week.
