FLASHBACK
"Ma, what if they don't like me?" An 11 year old Mariah asked timidly while her mother sat behind to braid her hair.
"What makes you think that, anak?" Althea hummed as she ran her hands through her daughter's hair.

But Althea was a hero, literally! She was a healer at St. Mungos, and despite working so many hours to help people. Althea was still an active mother in her daughter's life.
