>>713772050Sarah Connor is clearly a mother, but is she MOTHERLY? (No, at least, I don't think so.)
The previous example (here
>>713765626) also is a bit iffy, if the character in question isn't actually a mother. Just a surrogate, or a mother-figure.
You sometimes see "bad mothers" or neglecting mothers in fiction, but it's kinda hard to find an example of an active mother character, one who gets stuff done, but is also a "proper mother".
(I wanted to upload a picture of Lwaxana Troi here, but it keeps getting rejected... hmm.)
