Surah’s Mother

Both of Surah’s parents are still known to her in memory: her father died in a sudden cavern collapse when she was much younger, too much so to remember clearly, and her mother is still alive, but separated from Surah.

Her mother, Saruhnala, is alike to surah in stubbornness, but much more proud and stoic (and not the nicest). [Her appearance is a bit closer to the normal adult Shara that we know than Surah of course.]

She saw Surah as a disappointing weakling and dull of mind, treating her rather coldly in hopes that Surah would become tougher and more disciplined. Saruhn had little patience as well, and found most of Surah’s childish actions and fixations annoying, including her obsession with finding certain rocks.

For clarity she did not truly despise Surah deep down; Saruhn still taught her much of what she knows today, but she still kept her distance often and decided that Surah needed be treated strictly. Surah grew to be angrier and defiant, causing the two to clash somewhat often.

A particularly bad quarrel led to hurtful words, causing Surah to run away, quickly becoming lost in the maze of ancient underground tunnels. Saruhn, still angry, continued her own way for a time, assuming Surah would find her again once she came to her senses. But their reunion never came to be, and they have been separated to this day.

While Surah didn’t have the most perfect relationship, she does miss her mama, being the only family or soul she was close to. As for Saruhn, her whereabouts are a mystery… but do know that she has more regret than anything.

I believe these were answered with the above; @eti-mun,@amalgam-of-flesh,@ask-a-rathalos

Though from this description and events one would think otherwise, she still does love Surah.
