Mother

Mother's shadow

Very little is currently known about her, she hasn't even made a physical appearance nor has she been given a name, she is simply referred to as "mother" by Aeon and Venus. Her shadowy appearance has been shown on the wall on her daughters' room while they were playing Skullgirls, she informs the two that dinner is ready. She tells them to stop playing their video games and to come down to eat before their dinner gets cold. Aeon then asks to give them a second so that she could save her game.

Eliza's Story Mode implies that she was once a queen named Lamia, of whom Double is a shadow. The Skull Heart on the other hand was likely created by her.

Trivia[]

  • She is the leader of the Trinity and she is seen in the middle of the stained glass of the Divine Trinity's Grand Cathedral.
  • Her silhouette can be seen surrounding the Skull Heart during the final battle with Marie.
  • The Mother and Lamia are not exactly the same person, at least “not in a way we’d comprehend”. Lamia is an ancient queen who seems to derive her power from the ancient goddess Mother.
    • The Mother goddess may also have a Parasite, but Alex was not forthcoming with details.
  • In Greek Mythology, Lamia was considered to be a queen of Libya which is a country in North Africa. Lamia, and her family, lived with Eliza in an ancient civilization that is a fictional equivalent to Ancient Egypt. Lamia was the queen of that civilization. Both Libya and Egypt are North African countries and are even right next to each other.
  • Lamia’s daughters having snake parasites and being people that were presumably killed by Eliza who has a cat parasite seems reminiscent of the Ancient Egyptian tale of the cat goddess Bastet killing the snake god Apophis/Apep.
  • Lamia’s rage at Eliza for “killing her daughters” and becoming something inhuman (a goddess) is reminiscent of how Lamia of Greek myth, a woman who became an inhuman monster, had her own children killed and was driven insane.
  • The stage Gehenna is named after a real place where children were sacrificed and Lamia in Greek myth was a child eating monster.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Double and Lamia are not the same entity but a servant of the Trinity who can supernaturally communicate with them. Lamia was projecting her rage through Double when talking to Eliza.
  • The crown of Mother/Lamia looks similar to that of the arteries of a heart.
  • In some depictions of Mother/Lamia, like statues and paintings for example, what looks to be actual arteries from a heart or something that resembles it often sprout out of her. Given how she doesn’t seem to be seen with them always they might either be retractable or something that may manifest from time to time.
