Dr. Lark Feldman (born Leslie Feldman) is a mysterious tattoo artist and dentist in Provincetown whose clients are in for a teeth sharpening. She is a character in Double Feature portrayed by Billie Lourd.

Background[]

Lark used to earn money for her studies by selling second-hand vintage clothing and accessories from the '80s, while also perfecting her skills at tattoo artistry, which is revealed to be her real passion. Her talent is such that she claims people from all over the world come to Provincetown just to get a tattoo from her.

However, because of pressure from her parents, she also obtained a degree in orthodontal medicine and became a licensed dentist. Ironically, her medical training helped Lark cope with her new existence after taking the pill. Needing to drink human blood regularly to maintain her new gifts, Lark was inspired by the way in which certain predatory mammals used their sharpened teeth. This resulted in her surgically carving her own teeth into shaped fangs, while also devising a way to use dental veneers to hide them when necessary. She would perform the same procedure on several other users, such as Belle Noir and Austin Sommers.

She claims to have changed her name from Leslie to Lark, albeit without changing her legal documents, to be taken seriously among the tattoo community. It is implied that both her dental practice and tattoo parlor provide her with a steady supply of both customers and victims.

Personality and Appearance[]

Lark is a beautiful young woman with a bubbly personality and is extremely affable, especially when working with her clients. She stands at a petite stature, has a baby-doll face, light brown shoulder length hair, and dark eyes. She wears light makeup. Her wardrobe consists of Victorian-style clothing and accessories. Like several other users of the Pill, she has special sharpened teeth for drinking blood, which she conceals with a set of veneers.

Story[]

When the cold-sick Singer is compelled to buy an inexpensive coat he comes to Lark's store, where he picks up a tweed coat with shoulders made of leather which later becomes the trademark of all Pale Creatures.

Two or three years after transformation, Belle Noir comes to the Lark's store seeking for completely new wardrobe. In the course of a short conversation they recognize each other as a Pale. Lark passingly notes that she has been on pills for a couple of months and also killed her ex-boyfriend and drank his blood. Belle is surprised and delighted with the convenience of Lark's idea with dental caps and agrees to become her client. After visiting the store Belle also gets a new set of vintage clothes.

After their first cooperative murder Belle Noir notices that Harry lacks the knack for devouring blood from the bodies. Then along with Austin they recommend Harry visit Lark's salon "Montezuma" at 465 Cafiero Street inside which there is an equipped dentist's office hidden in the basement. Lark greets Harry with an ironic remark but agrees to help with teeth sharpening. She also invites him to get a free tattoo in addition, however he refuses because of a promise to his wife. Lark explains to Harry that pills can unleash any talent, not just writing skills. She then takes his dental impression and sharpens teeth under nitrous oxide anesthesia.

Quotes[]

To Harry Gardener: "Wow, sexist much?"
To Harry Gardener: "Did you agree to never murder people and drink their blood too? Shit happens."

Notes[]

She is the fifth character portrayed by Billie Lourd. For a complete list of her characters, see Cast.
Although FX's decision to keep Lark's role a surprise in the characters guide, "the trailer offers a glimpse of her performing oral surgery on Harry, bringing to mind that sharp-toothed mouth used in so much of the season’s promotional material. And is there anything more terrifying than a dentist?"^[1]
Alma and Lark are only known pale people to be still alive.
Lark is also Billie Lourd’s only character to not die in any way during the season.
