Moriah Blake (woman)

Moriah Blake is a character in the Moriah Blake franchise, and the titular character for the entire series, although she does not actually appear in any of the installments.

Bio
Moriah Jane Blake was born in 1939 in Kansas. She grew up in relative poverty. When she was nineteen, she moved to Washington to be near her unnamed lover. In 1960, Moriah was hit and killed by a car near to where Moriah Blake High School would one day be founded. Her lover spent several years trying to have a school built in her honor, and succeeded in 1973.

Afterlife
Moriah Blake is now immortalized in both the high school and the middle school named after her; unfortunately, her name is also connected to the Moriah Blake Massacre.

Curse / haunting
Several sources have claimed that Moriah Blake High School is either haunted or cursed by the vengeful spirit of the original woman. The "curse" may be used as a way to explain everything that goes wrong at the school, most notably the Massacre; however, this could also be just a way to take the blame off the people who really caused the disasters.
