Description[]
Mother is an ancient goddess. She and Lamia aren’t the same person, at least not in the way “we would comprehend”. Queen Lamia derives her power from the goddess.

History[]
Origins Details[]
The Mother herself is a very mysterious entity but what is known is that Queen Lamia, the mother of Venus and Aeon, derives her power from her and she is a very ancient goddess. It is possible that Lamia and Mother have a relationship similar to that of a parasite and a host but details remain vague.
Neferu was the once trusted general under Queen Lamia of their ancient society. But she betrayed her by leading a rebellion, and wanted her power, but it came at the cost of two of Lamia's two daughters were killed in the confrontation. The daughters may have been killed by Eliza herself, or were simply caught in the crossfire. It is unknown if Lamia herself was killed in this confrontation and it is unknown how she and her daughters came into their current state. They are trapped in a dimension called The Abyss.
Double was created as a “shadow of Lamia” and created the Trinity religion herself. Double’s original form has been lost to time but it is said her nun form gives a hint to what she originally looked like. Both the nun form and her usual distorted form have traits/characteristics of Mother and Lamia’s appearance. Double acts as the family’s only way of a connection to the normal world but it is unknown how she was transferred there. The goddesses, including Lamia, can communicate through Double and psychically communicate to her.
Story Mode[]
Her somber appearance was shown on the wall of her daughters' room while Skullgirls played, the two are informed that dinner is ready. She tells them to stop playing their videogames and go down to eat before dinner gets cold. Aeon tells her to give her a second so she could save the game's data before her departure.
In Eliza's story mode, Mother takes a more active role as she is implied to be influencing both Double and the Skull Heart. after she defeated Marie, Eliza mockingly tells the Skull Heart they should have chosen a livelier host due to Marie's lack of blood. However, the Skull Heart strains that she finally found her, much to Eliza's confusion just as she is about to grab the Skull Heart. But before she could, a meaty tendril slices of her arm. This causes Albus and Horace to rush to her aid and defend their lady from Double, who Eliza is very much shocked by and has never heard of such a creature. Upon noticing this, Double takes on a visage of the Trinity while reminding her of the crimes she had done to her.
Eliza now realizing she is talking to some reborn version of Lamia, she frantically tries to figure out how to get out of the predicament, only for her blood to fall into the veins and realize Gehenna was below her. With Eliza and her servants how descending into the ruins of her fallen kingdom, Double furiously pursues them, telling them they will regret entering her domain and that they will be endlessly tormented. Eliza brushes off the threat, telling the shapeshifter that she is in a place full of blood that she can control.
After beating Double, Eliza disdainfully tells her that is time for her to join her daughters. She then converts a lot of the blood in Gehenna into a swarm of scarabs which she and her servants use to escape. However, the Skull Heart then suddenly returns to threaten her by stating that this conflict isn't over, and no matter what happens, she will pay for what she has done. Eliza, unimpressed by the threat, sends the scarabs to shatter the heart, with her telling them that their time clinging to the world is over.
