Marian Lavore is an awesome breath of fresh air as a living mother in a fantasy character’s story, and her recent amazing appearance had me thinking of other good, living parents (or parental figures) in the CR world. 

The list is sadly short (Wilhand, Korrin…that might be it) but you know who I almost forgot about?

Taryon’s mom. TARY’S MOM. Mariya Darrington read her son’s favorite books to understand him better, and encouraged and supported him (once she was able, like him, to get out from under the oppressive thumb of Howaardt’s rule over their family) and she HELPED OUT WITH THE DARRINGTON BRIGADE AND I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH????
