We all know the fandom says Rodrigue, Gilbert and Varney are the worst parents (even though i don't understand how the previous to can even compare to the latter) but honestly the more i think about it the more i notice Patricia is a bad mother too, maybe not to egg but to dimitri. She might be step mother but still his mother right?
(this ask is supposed to be on anon i think hellsite has problems so let me make sure)
Don't worry you are on anon!
The fandom forgetting to add Jerry to the list of "not so great dads" but parading Rodrigue at its top is something I will never understand.
As for Patricia, when Hapi out of everyone was supposed to be her morality pet, you know the devs didn't care a lot about her.
And to this day, I still don't understand the timeline.
Patricia was spirited away from her hubby Ionius before Supreme Leader? Why ? And then she immediately married Lambert, after befriending Cordelia - who was already Cleobulus ? And then she spent time with Dimitri ?
But she totes ignored Supreme Leader - and her own brother - were here and spent time with Dimitri too ?
Patricia missing her daughter was a nice nod to some other mother I won't mention who cannot five fucks about her children, and agreeing with what was basically regicide and a general slaughter to "reunite" with Supreme Leader is also something I can buy - not condone since nowadays you have to make the distinction clear - and it also is funny because it'd mean Supreme Leader got her extremist tendencies from her mom !
Granted she's still a step above FE7's Helen because I don't remember Helen wanting to murderize Guinivere to put her son on the throne, whereas Patricia's plan involved Lambert and Dimitri dying - not to put Supreme Leader on the throne - but to reunite with her daughter.
So on the scale of Sothis "I will step in to obtain vengeance for my meatsuit's father who died while working as a mercenary but won't stop said meatsuit and even lend them my power to assault and ultimately slaughter my daughter for the sin of existing" to Helen "I'll recover a jewel by hiring dubious people to make sure my son will sit on the throne", Patricia/Anselma sits between the two.
