Lois Griffin Biography:
Lois Griffin was born into the wealthy Pewterschmidt family in Newport, RI. Lois let go of her inheritance in order to marry
Peter Griffin , whom she met while he was working as a towel boy at her family's country club. Before Peter, she had many relationships with other guys. She fell in love with Peter because she found his lower-class, easy-going silliness more attractive than the men of her social circle. Lois is now 40 years old and has a fine body for a woman her age.
Lois teaches piano in order to supplement the family's income, but she spends most of her time caring for her family. She knows karate and was also a flight attendant for a short time. Lois is a modern-day housewife who finds time to cook, clean, run errands and avoid daily attempts on her life by her baby son,
Stewie . Still, her deep love for Stewie often leads her to mistake Stewie's bad mood for just a mere case of crankiness.

Lois Griffin Personality:
There is a curious duality to Lois' personality. She can be vacuous at times and seems to come across as what many modern Americans would (perhaps erroneously) term a "typical mother". However, this is in strong contrast to Lois' other role in the series as a firebrand and a strong woman who is exceedingly capable. In "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", she has a nervous breakdown when just everything goes wrong, throws a destructive tantrum, and was subdued with a tranquilizer.
Lois' love for her children is deep. She engages in the lengthiest conversations with her daughter,
Meg , giving advice and so forth. It has been implied, however, that she does not care as much about Meg as she seems to.
Lois has some unexpected talents. She can calculate the street value of confiscated drugs with ease ("The Thin White Line"), and is a skilled lounge singer.
