Carlotta Cooney was half Iroquois, born in 1926 and abandoned by her dying parents when the great depression began. She was one of the Pigeon Hole kids of Ballyhoo Orphanage. She was nicknamed Lottie by Stuart and Margot Chandler, as she was their babysitter for a time. She even called Adam a nitwit when she babysat him!
Besides being a big time harasser of foster brother Peter Palmer (born August 5th 1924 died 2002) and a lover-harasser of ex-boyfriend Christopher Cortlandt (born September 5th 1928 died 2010), both of whom were estranged friends of Asa (full first name Asaph) Buchanan in their high school years, she also assaulted the latter and ended her relationship with him when she prepared for the Korean War, due to irreconcilable diffs. In the Korean War, she met her all time favourite love, the hapless Seoul born everyman Byung Ho Park, and he followed her to California.
In California, they got married in 1952, but racial segregation was awfully prevalent back then. She bore him their only child, the esteemed yet rather troubled biracial Ross Park, a high school friend of Adam Chandler, in 1954. As times were changing, she abandoned him at 13 years old, due to the mother herself entering the Vietnam War at 41 years old. She then got divorced from Byung Ho Park at the same time.
Byung Ho became a mobster along with Ross, so they joined the Cassadine mob early on. Meanwhile, Lottie went to the Army and shaved her hair in solidarity. In 1971, she met a Northern Vietnamese army man named Bao Tran and had an affair with him, leading to the births of a single boy in 1969 and, by the time she committed suicide, triplets in 1976.
