Mother

Helga Willoughby (mostly known as Mother) isone of the main antagonists (alongside Father) from Netflix's 2020 animated film The Willoughbys. She is the neglectful and idiotic biological mother of the Willoughby children, who try to send them away to a far off place where they could orphan themselves after growing tired of the adults' constant abuse.

Appearance
Her appearance was based on fashion in the 1920s and 30s. She is tall and has a thin with pointy nose, bright pinkish-red hair and wears former clothes of the time. Mother has puffy hair and done in an updo.

Personality
Mother only loves two things: her husband and knitting. The rest of the time she is cold and ruthless, especially towards her own children and while mother doesn't like any of her kids, she is especially cruel to her first born, Tim, who she and Father blame for any trouble that either he or his siblings cause.

Trivia

 * In the book, she seemed to care about her cat at least enough to knit him a sweater even though The Barnabys needed one more than their pet did.
 * In the movie, Mother doesn't really seem to know how her own children were born despite the fact that she is an adult, is married and gave birth to the siblings since she had to cut a strand of Ruth's hair to check if she was a Willoughby.
