--Describe your most recent POV character’s mother.
Oooh, this gets into awkward territory for me, and this is why wrestler's families very rarely enter into my stories, because while Kevin Owens is fictional, his mother is not, and has never appeared in canon to give a plausible fictionalized version of herself. She seems a nice woman, very supportive of her son; she's French-Canadian and I assume a little shy about the fact that English is not her first language, based on the fact that she doesn't appear on Kevin's DVD even when his father does. I do wonder what Kevin's kayfabe parents think of the fact that he makes the life of his former best friend--who seems like something of an adopted son to them--a living hell. I know people have caught his father being chummy with Sami on Twitter, to Kevin's OTT chagrin. :)
Classes start next week, so not much writing this week. I've promised myself that if I can just finish prepping for Monday's classes, I get a treat of being allowed to work on fic for an hour. I have two more to go... Wish me luck and I hope all your characters have mother-issues that are interesting to the plot!

Sian's birth mother died giving birth to Lyrican, so he knew her only for a few years. He grieved for her deeply at the time, but it happened when he was so young that he has moved on. He and his brother inherit their red hair from her - their father is a brunet. His stepmother is his own age, which horrifies him - is father essentially took a midlife crisis trophy wife. Sylgi Tarsdottir is the daughter of a queen but not a princess (in the land she hails from royalty is gained by trial by combat, not hereditary, and their children only get the honorific Tarsson or Tarsdottir and no special status) and a mad inventer, alchemist, and brewer. She invented a machine that makes perpetual ale. Sian's father married her not just for her good looks (she's basically like an incarnation of the St. Pauli girl) but because her ale singlehandedly saved his inn.
Mary's mother and Rorden's mother had a lot in common, but just one wandering man was her downfall. She was left by her lover, and gave birth in a cave alone, where the drow of the underdark too her and most of her litter. Mary survived because as the runt of the litter, she went unnoticed when she hid. Her father heard of what happened, came to the cave, found Mary alive, dropped her off with her mother's parents, and that was that.
