theory: the reason that deanna has an accent and lwaxana doesn’t is that deanna is speaking standard with a betazoid accent, but lwaxana is speaking betazoid and we’re hearing it through the universal translator
omg hold on i love this. when we see deanna’s memory of her father, he doesn’t share her accent. lieutenant ian andrew [maiden name] troi spoke standard, of course, but probably learned betazoid upon falling in love with the fabulous lwaxana troi (because they’re not going to have universal translators on all the time, and a daughter of the fifth house isn’t going to be tooling around on space duolingo to speak another language In Her Own Home, right?). he probably spoke standard to deanna, though, at least sometimes, so she grew up in a bilingual household while he was alive – and now deanna has been speaking standard and living off-world for so long that her accent has shifted and she sounds like her father when she speaks betazoid

for all its flaws, one thing star trek does do well is minor characters. you get a character like lwaxana troi who is so radiant and charming and funny and utterly unforgettable that you’d never believe she only appears in nineepisodes
Basically, the the new Picard series gave me a sliver of hope that we’re going to see Deanna Troi’s younger brother. He was created for Deep Space Nine so I doubt it, the writers like to steer clear of ds9.
I kinda want him to be a little carbon-copy of Lwaxana. Just showing up at D’s in fabulous outfits, complaining about his love life.
Or the Borg assimilate Lwaxana Troi and the Collective begins introducing itself as “the daughter of the 5th house, holder of the sacred chalice of Riix, heir to the holy rings of Betazed?”
The sheer force of her personality would overwhelm the collective.
I’ve rewatched “Manage a Troi” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 3, episode 24). It’s a Lwaxana Troi episode that, on the one hand, means it’s incredibly awkward, but on the other hand, it shows how ready she is to make a sacrifice for Deanna and how much she loves her daughter, despite how annoying she can be sometimes. (Spoilers!) The plot is a Ferengi wants to get Mrs Troi to work for him (because she’s a telepath and can help him in business deals and because she’s beautiful and he just wants her. So, he kidnaps Lwanxana, Deanna and Will (when they relax on Betazed) and threatens Mrs Troi, that he’ll hurt Deanna, and forces her to have sex with him. This moment is very nasty. Not because I’m against sex with Ferengi, but because it’s rape and due to Deanna and Lwaxana mental connection Deanna feels her mother’s emotions. Of course, thanks to Lwaxana’s ruses and Captain Picard’s acting (he has to pretend that he’s jealous and is going to destroy the DaiMon and his ship if Mrs Troi’s not returned to him immediately) everything ends up well. This part was funny.
For #PicardPositivity’s Troi day, I simply must mention my beloved Lwaxana, a wonderfully flawed force of nature who … what’s that? Lwaxana Troi wasn’t in Picard? Ah, yes, that’s a big part of why I wrote this ficlet about her jumble of emotions upon meeting baby Kestra Riker-Troi, and Deanna’s beautiful, loving, understanding response:
