Evil Matriarch	comment	A mother is one of the most central figures that a character can have growing up, and her influence can have an impact on that character even as an adult. If the character is lucky, that mother will be a loving one, and if he or she is really lucky, she'll be an Action Mom who can kick ass and take names if the character is ever threatened. But if the character is really unlucky and isn't suffering from Parental Abandonment, the character's mother will be an Evil Matriarch, and chances are she will make that character's life a living hell. Can lead to them becoming a Disowned Parent. The Evil Matriarch comes in two forms: Comedic: Usually used in the Dom Com, this variety is usually the mother of one of the two parents on the show who comes to visit every so often, and someone on the cast dreads it. Given the tone of these shows, "evil" tends to be somewhat of a stretch, but the matriarch in question may still be a Jerkass. Usually (though not always) this variety of Evil Matriarch is a helicopter parent, often to an irrational extreme. Classically, this is a Mother-in-Law situation, but from time to time, the kids themselves, or even the child of the mother is the one that dreads it. In some cases, everyone hates the Evil Matriarch, like in Malcolm in the Middle, where everyone dreads Lois's mother coming to visit. In other cases, her visit is appreciated by everyone but the daughter or son of the Evil Matriarch, like in Family Ties, where the matriarch is evil because her daughter feels she can't live up to mom's perfection. Expect this variety of Evil Matriarch to have Power Hair and other Fashionable Evil. Dramatic: This variety, which shows up in more dramatic media, is truly evil in a traditional sense, and is one of the worst villains one can face, especially if one of the Heroes or Love Interests is one of her children (or if she's married into his or her family as a stepmother). Many such Evil Matriarchs are completely convinced that they, and only they, know what's best for their children, and can be very controlling, manipulative, and perfectly willing to do anything they deem necessary for their children's sake, no matter how evil or destructive it may be. And that's assuming that they actually love (or feel any attachment at all towards) their children in the first place. The most vicious examples of this variety of Evil Matriarch despise their children (or at least the one they've singled out as The Unfavorite) and are often physically or emotionally abusive towards them, and many of them are not above Offing the Offspring. If she's not entirely human, then expect her to be a Hive Queen. If she is also the Queen, expect God Save Us from the Queen!. If she is just a wanted criminal, then she's just a Notorious Parent. The Spear Counterpart of this character type is Archnemesis Dad, and it's actually quite rare for an Evil Matriarch to be paired up with one. In the off-chance that she's indeed the wife of an Archnemesis Dad, their children are definitely screwed (and in works that aren't averse to violence, things will probably get bloody by the story's end). The inversion is Antagonistic Offspring. See Abusive Parents and Parental Neglect for the more mundane versions. See Offing the Offspring and/or Matricide for what this might lead to if the kids fight back, or Hates Their Parent, for how the kid likely feels about them. If the mother's antics stem from incompetence rather than malice, she's Maternally Challenged. If a villainess tones down or outright abandons her wickedness upon becoming a mother (preventing this trope from applying in the first place), that's Deliver Us from Evil. Abusive Offspring is the inverse, where the child is abusive to the mother. If it's not your mother but her replacement who's making your life a living Hell, see Wicked Stepmother. If the evil mother in question actually has the word "mother" in her villain title, see One Bad Mother. Compare Villainous Mother-Son Duo, for when the mother and her offspring are active partners-in-crime.

Evil Matriarch / int_109f849a	comment	Alcmene in Hallmark's made-for-TV movie Hercules. The mother of Hercules received some Adaptational Villainy, attempting to have her son Hercules murdered in his crib while he s still a kid, and after failing that, conspire to make his life a living hell. While she is mostly sympathetic example as result of being raped by Zeus (who brutally raped her in this version, instead of taking the form of her husband to bed her), she is far from a saintly person, serving as a mad high priestess that sacrificed men in the name of Hera.

The firstborn child has Down's Syndrome and she sends that child to live with the grandmother. She receives welfare, but only spends it on herself, and puts on this wonderful mother routine when the social worker comes for visits. Even worse still, Mary physically, verbally, emotionally, and also sexually abuses Precious and eventually physically abuses the 2nd baby that Precious gives birth to.

She holds the dubious distinction of being one of the darkest villains in the show due to lacking the comedic quirks and Laughably Evil traits from previous antagonists, and setting the tone for Season 5.

Evil Matriarch / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Flemeth of Dragon Age is Morrigan's mother and Ambiguously Evil at best, but she and Morrigan don't really like each other and fully expect to come to blows one day. Whatever affection Morrigan still had for her goes out the window when she discovers that Flemeth's immortality comes from possessing the bodies of her own children. After that, Morrigan asks the Warden to (temporarily) kill Flemeth while she makes longer-term plans. The third game complicates this: Flemeth, while still extremely manipulative, tells Morrigan that she could never have possessed an unwilling host, and is willing to let Morrigan (and her son, if he exists) go free. It's heavily implied that Flemeth's treatment of Morrigan is more of Tough Love, judging her sorrowful reaction when Morrigan (particularly if she becomes a mother) angrily states that she will never be the mother Flemeth was to her/calmly telling Flemeth that Kieran will be better off without her just as she was better off without Flemeth.

Nanny uses her Orphan-Maker, a mutant child in a suit of power armor, to go around "Saving" mutant children from their human parents so she can provide a better home for them (which includes raising them to become her soldiers).

Vengeance is gained when Emily's Type 1 mother-in-law visits. Emily is often portrayed sympathetically, however. Though manipulative, she does really want what's best for her family, and much (though not all) of her and Lorelai's strained relationship comes due to either personality clashes or Values Dissonance rather than hatred.

As a result, despite having only been turned less than twenty years ago, she commands a lot of power, respect, and even fear amongst The Cavaliers, her husband's secret society. Her human daughter, Harriet French, is the series' main protagonist. Adelaide is desperate to see her daughter turned by an eligible Cavalier and as a result, she forces her daughter's weaker love interest to pretend to hate her and removes her daughter's protection from mind control so that she can be mesmerised into falling for the "right" person. The fact that the "right" person killed her niece and attacked her daughter before knowing who she was doesn't seem to bother her. She's also ruthless about getting what she wants more generally and is scathing of anyone who doesn't live up to her high standards. On the other hand, despite going about things the wrong way, she seems to genuinely love her daughter and believes that she has her best interests at heart.

She has invaded her daughter's privacy, invaded the privacy of her daughter's teacher, attempted to use her daughter Melody as an example of Miles' apparent corruption of schoolkids (by way of Spring Awakening), taken out an AVO against Geoff, ignored the fact that Melody was raped, institutionalized Melody after her rapist died, withdrew her daughter from the subsequent counseling (causing a nasty case of anorexia), attempted an exorcism, and then kidnapped Melody. Parent of the Year award right there.

Evil Matriarch / int_2d165a50	comment	Ōoku: The Inner Chambers: Technically speaking, Kasuga was merely Iemitsu the Elder's wet-nurse, but for all intents and purposes she was the evil matriarch behind the throne, who spoiled Iemitsu to the point of smothering, then, when he died without an heir, arranged for the mother of his illegitimate daughter to be murdered, kidnapped his illegitimate daughter, and forced her to pose her father until she could conceive a heir to place on the throne. To that end, she more or less imprisoned Arikoto to be the Glorified Sperm Donor and murders anyone who could reveal an impostor's on the throne. However, she actually has good intentions for going to such extremes: she lived through the Sengoku Period, and lost her family and home in the process, and was desperate to keep Japan from having another civil war. However, she pales in comparison to Tokugawa Harusada, mother of Shogun Ienari. After copious amounts of kicking the dog to get to the top, she abdicates in favor of Ienari to be the power behind the throne without the need to produce heirs. She then proceeds to run the country into the dirt with excessive spending, drives out advisors for petty reasons, poisoned her loyal retainer, suppressed attempts to find a cure for the Redface Pox to keep herself and other women in power, and finally, poisoned her own grandchildren, and it's implied she did that because she was bored.

Evil Matriarch / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto gives us Kaguya Otsutsuki, the first person in the Ninja World to utilize chakra. In addition to being a tyrannical ruler, she viewed her sons as her property and did not want them to have any independence from her. After discovering they had inherited chakra for her, she sought to destroy them in order to regain the lost chakra, forcing them to seal her away. Before this, however, she created Black Zetsu, who manipulated the Uchiha Clan, who are among her descendants, into creating the Infinite Tsukiyomi, which revived her — essentially making her the Big Bad of the entire series. Upon seeing her descendants, Sasuke and Naruto for the first tie and noting their resemblance to her sons, she weeps out of lingering affection....and then proceeds to try to drain their chakra, declaring her hatred for her sons.

Sirius is known to exaggerate, however, her portrayal through her portrait doesn't paint a very good picture of her when it appears in Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows. Essentially, she and the rest of her family disowned any decent people. Narcissa Malfoy first appears to be this. Later books reveal that, while still a bigot, she's much more of a loving mother than she appears. Bellatrix Lestrange alludes to being this if she ever had children. She says that if she had them, she would proudly offer them up as servants (read: child soldiers) to Voldemort.

She's quite benign and verges on My Beloved Smother for most of her family... except for her daughters-in-law, who cook for Nanny Ogg, clean for Nanny Ogg, and pray to the gods that Nanny Ogg doesn't come home from a vacation and find the slightest thing out of order. Famously, Nanny Ogg has never learned or remembered the names of any of her daughters-in-law. In Hogfather, having an evil mum is the backstory of one of Teatime's thugs. She's dead and he's still more afraid of her memory than he is of Teatime. According to professional lockpick Mister Brown, this is entirely justified: he himself considers Teatime little more than a posturing thug next to her.

The main antagonist, Sephiroth, is carrying out of the will of his 'mother', the remains of a woman who belonged to the dead Cetra civilization. Sephy's info is a little out of date: The doctors who discovered the body assumed it was Cetra, as it was found at the site of their old home. The Shinra Power Company hoped to clone "her" and make the Cetra live again, but quickly realized that Jenova wasn't human at all: it's a mimetic monster who took on the guise of the Cetra to prey on them. Undeterred, Shinra sampled Jenova's cells to create a line of super-soldiers, the most successful of which was Sephiroth.

Evil Matriarch / int_5a077317	comment	Sons of Anarchy: Gemma Teller Morrow, who supplies her son's junkie ex-wife with heroin (in order to damage her health or kill her, keeping her away from the new baby), smashes a skateboard into the face of a girl she suspects is sleeping with her husband, and just generally manipulates people all over the place. Depending on how you view her motivations, she takes it up to eleven at the end of season six, attempting to drown Jax's wife Tara for allegedly ratting out the MC to the police and wanting to take away Gemma's grandchildren, and when that doesn't work, Gemma settles for stabbing Tara to death in the head with a barbecue fork. Even Gemma doesn't hold a candle in the authority department to the one-shot character Vivica, the matriarch of a group of Gangbangers made up of herself and her sons. When they go behind her back to handle a stolen guns deal so they could use the money to get her a birthday present, she is not happy and immediately Dope Slaps her boys, who are clearly terrified of her.

She's old, very dignified, sets impossibly high standards, and insists absolutely that things be done according to custom. On the other hand, she isn't evil, just rigid and old-fashioned in her view of life. However, she's also surprisingly open-minded: when all the Lee women gather on the astral plane, Wu is the first to acknowledge that Mei has a right to make her own choice about her panda spirit.

Evil Matriarch / int_5ce3fc86	comment	In Soul Eater, Medusa Gorgon is this to Crona in a twisted attempt to turn her child into the next Kishin. It all started when Medusa melted the Living Weapon Ragnarok into Black Blood and replaced Crona's blood with him, and it just spiraled down from there. As a form of training, Medusa forced Crona to kill animals and when they didn't comply she would lock them in a dark room with no food or water for as long as a few days until they did. Even when Crona's older, she has such a strong hold on them that she easily manipulated their emotions and desires so that they'd remain loyal and dependent on her out of pure fear. Fortunately in the anime, Crona found the strength to stand against her and officially join the good side. But in the manga, they weren't so lucky.

She convinces her daughter to hide her four children in the attic of the family mansion in order to avoid being erased from the family line of inheritance. The children are starved, beaten, and terrorized by the grandmother, and eventually neglected. It later emerges that Grandmother, in combination with her daughter schemed to kill the children by poisoning their food with arsenic. She is somewhat redeemed in one of the sequels, although this may be partial Canon Discontinuity because it was completed by the ghostwriter who succeeded Andrews after her death.

Dahlia Gillespie and Margaret Holloway could very well be friends with Sofia Lamb, considering their willingness to torture, abuse, and sacrifice their own daughters in ways that makes the devil shiver. By far, the least awful mother in the series is Walter Sullivan's mother, who had the decency of just abandoning him in an apartment, rather than sacrificing him to some God of Evil, Eldritch Abomination, The Devil, or whatever the Order worships.

Uncaring that this would destroy Earth and fry Sarah's mind, Ingrid plans to use her as a sex doll to breed new super-powerful Johrlac queens. Ingrid also reveals that she had Sarah for the sole purpose of creating a Johrlac queen, and was behind the murder of her foster parents that led to Angela adopting her.note Cuckoos normally leave their children as Doorstop Babies with human couples, hence the name. She also ordered the murders of the family who lived in the house that the hive randomly chose as a base of operations.

She also murders Milo's biological and step fathers and tries to burn down her sister's house containing her young nephew Noah out paranoia of them being "Mr. Scars" (the one who's prophesied to kill her), and is generally dismissive and nasty towards anyone.

Evil Matriarch / int_696b75c2	comment	In A Brother's Price, all organized crime is expected to be managed by an evil matriarch, as families are very close, and usually all members of a family are brought to court for a crime one of them committed. Rank is determined by age, the eldest sister in a family is named Eldest and becomes Mother Elder when she has her first child. The evil matriarch in any given family of criminals is therefore the Mother Elder. Strictly enforced discipline, and the fact that criminal individuals are thrown out of lawful families, more or less guarantees that a family that turns to crime will have an evil matriarch in charge. The villains actually murdered their own mothers (who were in on the conspiracy, so likely evil matriarchs themselves) in order to shut them up, as the family "doesn't age well" and tends to senility. The main villain has already one child, and is the Eldest of the family, so she is well on her way to becoming an evil matriarch herself.

Eleanor ends up fighting back incognito using the player character Subject Delta and the newer generation of Little Sisters, and then at the endgame does so in a literal sense. How Delta addresses both the Little Sisters he encounters as well as three other characters that have their own motivations for their backstory and how they treated Delta determines the fate of Sofia Lamb, at her own daughter's hands.

Head of a Greco-Russian almost-royal family, after the death of her not-so-loved husband Mikos, decided to get revenge and started killing for sport. Her unforgettable rivalry with GH's most famous super couple Luke and Laura, began when she cursed them at their wedding in the 80's. She reappeared again in 1996, with all the intentions to make life miserable to everyone in her family, especially her much hated son Stefan and her bastard step-daughter Alexis. Usually, when something evil happens in Port Charles, it's her fault. She stole, lied, cheated, killed, swapped DNA results, and even hibernated her beloved son Stavros (who everyone had thought had died, and thanks to her, appeared very much alive in 2001). Mortal enemy to Luke Spencer who tried to kill her more than once.

When Damian asked why she couldn't love him for who he was (showing a rare hint of Woobie-ism), Talia replied "No. I'm too much of a perfectionist" and declared him an enemy of the House of al Ghul, where he spent at least the first three quarters of his life. Oh, and he's ten. Culminates in Offing the Offspring when she allows the clone, Heretic, to brutally kill Damian. Of course she already had hints of this as she raised Damian to think he needed to kill Tim Drake to replace him in his father's household.

Evil Matriarch / int_81692f99	comment	Geleth Pa'Dar in the Star Trek novel The Never-Ending Sacrifice. A product of the traditional Cardassia, where life was a struggle for survival on a starving planet, she is utterly ruthless and quite unrepentant about it. At one point, she suggests with total ease and in full seriousness that her son should have her grandson Rugal killed. Rugal ends up in an ongoing battle of wills with Geleth after coming to live in the family home. Finally, just before dying of old age, she shares her secrets with Rugal, which involve casually having an innocent man arrested and executed on false charges. In Star Trek: Forged in Fire, Lady of the House Moj'ih would rather kill her albino baby than allow his condition to bring shame to the family. She is following Klingon custom here; the Honor Before Reason nature of her culture blunts the individual evil to some extent. She still fits the trope, though.

Evil Matriarch / int_a68c19b8	comment	Hilda from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Tortures her sister-in-law Tiltyu and her daughter Tinny for good measure (and if Tiltyu dies childless, she tortures her other sister in law Ethnia and her daughter Linda), and while she keeps saying it's to punish traitors, deep down, she just enjoys torturing. The result becomes obvious. Tiltyu (or Ethnia) becomes extremely broken and cries everyday until she dies from sickness, and Tinny (or Linda) ends up as a Shrinking Violet. And then, Hilda keeps pressuring her blood daughter and local Dark Magical Girl Ishtar to marry her boyfriend Julius, the Imperial Prince of Grandbell, just so she can get more links and power from the Emperor. And in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, it's revealed that even her husband Blume does not support child hunts... but she supports it wholeheartedly. But she makes the fatal mistake of underestimating Arthur (or Amid)... and Tinny herself (or Linda). Succeeding Hilda would be Sonia from Blazing Blade. Not only is she sadistic and manipulative, but she constantly verbally abuses her adopted daughter Nino, and when she isn't doing that, she's neglecting her instead. It eventually comes to the point where she secretly plots to have Nino killed just after promising to hug her if she completes her mission. To hammer the point home, when Nino confronts her later, she freely admits to having slain Nino's real family when Nino was just a baby, and even says she would have killed Nino too had Nergal not told her to raise her.

Her foremost goal is to uphold the family traditions, and to reach that she stops at nothing not even murdering family members and sacrificing her unborn firstborn's soul to a demon for that. In a gut-wrenching scene she admits that she never wanted children, never loved her daughter and only got her because it was expected of her. Apparently, she got that way because her mother was an evil matriarch, too.

Evil Matriarch / int_aaede8b9	comment	Ren Gyoukuen from Magi: Labyrinth of Magic. She claims responsibility for the horrible deaths of her first husband and her two elder sons and later off-handedly wonders if she should kill her daughter as well. All in front of her youngest son, whom she taunts for being powerless to do anything about it. He is very screwed up as a result...and that's almost certainly intentional on her part. She's also The Usurper of an empire and the leader of an organization that wants to summon a God of Evil to kill everyone on the planet. Actually subverted since Gyokuen used to be a kind and good mother in the past, but she was subjected to Demonic Possession by Arba (the leader of the evil organization Al-Thamen and pretty much the Big Bad) and shit hit the fan from then on. And speaking of the devil Arba herself is an exaggeration of this trope. First, she was the mother figure to The High Queen Sheba, then she killed her cold-bloodedly despite Solomon and Sheba believed her so much. Then after Ugo moved the people of Alma Torran to the current world, she comes along with Al-Thamen. Unlike the other Al-Thamen members however, she can maintain almost all of her power (be it magical of physical) ,with possessing her own children, and if her previous vessel have grown too old, she will move to the child of the previous vessel. She prefers women as her vessel, but she can possess men too if she didn't have a daughter at any generation. Truly a wicked mother...

Seshru gave birth to Renn only so that she could make her newborn her personal tokoroth. After that failed, Seshru wasn't anyhow interested in Renn, who in turn knew of her bloodline since her father's death and refused to study Magecraft due to her mother's legacy as a Soul Eater. It's not before Outcast that Seshru realizes their connection, but she merely sees it as a tool to drive a wedge between the heroes. Not only that, but the sequel series reveals that Seshru managed to create a tokoroth out of Renn's younger half-brother Naiginn who becomes the new Big Bad.

Martin's mom emotionally abused him his entire childhood because he looked just like his father, who abandoned them when she got sick. She hated him, and eventually decided herself to move into a care home instead of having to spend any more time with her son than necessary. Mary Keay (Gerry's mom) was even worse. She killed his father after he blinded himself to escape the Magnus Institute before he could even remember him, believing that a dead husband was more useful than a blind one. Throughout Gerry's childhood, she only cared for him as far as he was useful for establishing a powerful supernatural family legacy and was less excited to see him than the Leitner volumes he'd sometimes bring home. She isolated him from the rest of the world, keeping him dependent on her because he didn't know how to live a normal life without all of the strange supernatural things he'd grown up with. Even after she died, Ms. Keay continued to torture her son, having bound herself to the Skin Book and haunting him for years until Gertrude Robinson destroyed her page of the book and freed Gerry from his mother.

She not only serves Zeref during his invasion of Fiore, but she had also attempted to pull a Grand Theft Me on her own daughter, shortly after Erza's birth, and claims to have abandoned her when it didn't work. It turns out that Irene was the first Dragon Slayer, and ultimately turned into a dragon like Acnologia, while pregnant with Erza. After spending several centuries as a dragon, she decided to take over Erza's body to regain her human form. In spite of everything, she becomes at least a little sympathetic when it turns out she was misremembering the circumstances of Erza's abandonment - she actually did love her daughter, and decided against stealing baby Erza's body, before leaving her in case she was ever tempted to try again.

A sinister Evilutionary Biologist that has used her own family in experiments and subjects her daughter to rather.....disturbing displays of affection. Little surprise that Satsuki stabs her in the back. Too bad it didn't take, since she's a Life Fiber-fused monster that can reattach her own head. And then there's what she did to her other daughter, and her husband, and... Ragyo is often considered the reigning champion of 'Anime's Worst Mother'.

Though in this case, she was also stated to be under the effects of Nihilego's neurotoxins, and Lillie says she was a genuinely good and caring mother before she researched too much into the Ultra Beasts.

Evil Matriarch / int_d6e2146d	comment	Diablo III gives us Adria, the Witch of Tristram. Despite being the secondary protagonist's birth mother and a traditional aid to the player character, she allows them to destroy two Demon Lords and their armies before betraying the player, killing several allies and using her own daughter as the vessel for her dark master, Diablo himself, to be reborn as the embodiment of all evil. She performs a double-bluff in some respects, as she is openly a harsh and unpleasant individual, and is not depicted as particularly charismatic or powerful — an average spellcaster at best. She is, however, a cruel liar, and uses her record of trauma and tragedy to draw suspicion away from her true agenda.

There's also Yuki and Ayame's mother, who had no qualms about abandoning/selling and ignoring them respectively. In a flashback, it was revealed that she and her husband were off "living it up" with the money and status they got from Yuki being Akito's companion — while Yuki was deathly ill. Unlike others of her ilk, she's hinted in the manga to have started to get better, after Ayame completely owns her at the parent conference.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as they saw the chance they killed her in retaliation.

Evil Matriarch / int_de6659ec	comment	Cora, the mother of the Evil Queen Regina herself, in Once Upon a Time. She has no qualms about putting a child at risk (by causing child Snow's horse to run away) to promote her agenda for her daughter's life, and when Regina wants to actually choose her own husband, Mom kills the man her daughter loves, then Mom strongarms her into marrying a man she's not interested in just because he's King. When Red's mother shows up in season two, she seems like she's nice and supportive. She's not evil per se, but her Proud Warrior Race Girl and Humans Are the Real Monsters attitude puts her in direct contrast with her daughter. Her decision to go Bitch in Sheep's Clothing by killing Snow, who didn't do anything wrong, ends up getting her killed by Red. Rumplestiltskin's mother is shaping up to be this. She is a legendary dark magical being mentioned several times throughout the show before her appearance. Thus far, her crimes include stealing babies on a regular basis, abandoning her child as an infant, laughing in his face and throwing him to the ground when he confronts her as an adult, stealing his and Belle's infant son, raising him away from his parents to be evil and kill Emma, and hospitalizing the Blue Fairy.]] And that's in the span of two episodes. It's likely season 6B will make the list even longer. She's a very literal matriarch too as she is also Neal's grandmother and Henry's great-grandmother, thereby making her indirectly related to the entire cast.

It's heavily implied she was a stern and strict woman to grow up with, one episode implies that she used her magic to get rid of a boyfriend of Prue's she didn't like. She's also shown to be very bitter and hostile towards men, bordering on emotional abuse: she was even ready to disown her own grandson for not being a girl. This is balanced out by her being heroic on various occasions.
