Daddy Had a Good Reason For Abandoning You: Difference between revisions

* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' didn't have Tedd's mom off-screen in real time (there were [https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2011-12-09 indistinct photo] of her and Edward with their mentor, [https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2012-07-20 a flashback] and [https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2013-08-22 imagination of someone who didn't know her well if at all]^{all spoilers}), and a lot about Tedd's mom issues mostly on-screen. Tedd's aunt in Q&A "[https://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-01-28 clarified]" a question about why Tedd's mom never gets mentioned with "[[I Have No Son|I have no sister]]".

** The thing is, Noriko is a ''[[Living Legend|notorious]]'' monster hunter, and Tedd - [[Muggle Born of Mages|despite both parents being wizards]] - was born ostensibly with no magic ability whatsoever, and as such negligible magical resistance as well. And since she is the one who is more likely to have enemies, while Edward is on the same level of "not to be messed with", but mostly collects allies… Much later, the "no magic" part turned out to be hilariously wrong - then we find out she is in England, still monster-hunting, has married ''another'' wizard… and for extra awkwardness, Tedd's little half-brother got exactly the same abilities as Tedd.
