Mad Moxxi (Borderlands series)
Ah, what would Borderlands be without Mad ol’ Moxxi, proprietor of the Underdome fighting arena and ex-member of the violent Hodunk clan.
While she might be known as a dangerous and sneaky temptress to most, when it comes to her children, Ellie and Scooter (among other speculative candidates), Moxxi is one the most dedicated, protective, and caring mothers you’ll find in the world of gaming.
Just to put her motherly love into perspective: to save her daughter from becoming the Hodunk “clan wife”, she set aside her loyalty to the clan and murdered their leader in cold blood without as much as flinching, and took off with Ellie and Scooter to start a new life in the Pandoran wastelands.
Any mother that is willing to kill and severely anger members of an infamously dangerous and remorseless clan so that her children can have a better life deserves some recognition in my books.
