The Other Miss April Spink
The other Miss Forcible is the other mother’s version of Miss Forcible. Like the other Miss Spink, the other Miss Forcible is, at first glance, a beautiful young woman who is engaged in a never-ending performance that combines Shakespearean soliloquies, circus arts, and magic tricks. Once the other mother becomes angry with Coraline and starts tearing her creations apart, however, Coraline realizes that the other Misses Spink and Forcible are little more than waxy, fleshy blobs who hibernate together in a grotesque egg sac, like that of a female spider.
