A latrine is a method of disposal of human waste used in rural areas and much of the developing world. Many variations exist, but at its simplest, the principle is that waste is controlled and decomposed into harmless by-products.
Pit latrines are the simplest types, sometimes just a hole in the ground covered with a floor plate. A dry pit does not penetrate the water table, while a wet pit does. Adding a ventilating pipe is the key improvement of the ventilated improved pit latrine, a design that helps reduce unpleasant smells and fly problems. See outhouse.
A water privy is a situation where a watertight tank receives the waste and sends it to an underground seepage pit or drainage area.
Latrina takes her name from the fact that her mother gave birth without noticing into the toilet, thinking she had simply passed a very fibrous stool, and only becoming suspicious when after two hours it still hadn't stopped crying.
Latrina's mother was unable to cope with the responsibilities and pressures of raising a child on her own so Latrina was put into the care of a widescreen television, in front of which she sat for the first six years of her life.
Latrina is voiced by the fairly successful ventriloquist/comedian Nina Conti, winner of the BBC New Comedy Awards 2002.
Latrina was welcomed very warmly, and she took up residency with three other Amazons: Samsara, the goddess of the tribe, Cassia, the tribes head healer, and Selena, the tribes head seamstress as well as the Guardian of the Children.
Latrina enjoyed her stay, but it was almost cut short when an evil spirit possessed Selena.
Latrina arrived at the stable to visit her horse named Hileli, the same horse that Leonie was observing from afar.
