Vorkosigan Saga/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 138:

* [[Mama Bear]]: After what she goes through in "Barrayar" to rescue Miles' uterine replicator, don't you ''dare'' doubt it.

* [[Memetic Badass]]: In-universe, at least among the High Vor. Her public image is much lower profile: historian Duv Galeni even refers to her as "the most invisible of political wives." Miles jokes when someone asks him to come shopping with them that "There's an offer seldom made of my mother's son."

** To underline this: Cordelia's husband Aral is the most legendary warrior alive in a warrior culture, who has proven on every level ranging from single combat with barehands to spacefleets that he is the best warrior around. He's more famous than his father, who is himself a galactically-famous military legend who once defeated an ultra-tech alien invasion starting with horse cavalry. Even those of Aral's peers who absolutely despise him will still unhesitatingly acknowledge that he is one of the greatest badasses alive. ''And they are still more frightened of his wife than they are of him''.

* [[The Messiah]]: Even moreso than her {{spoiler|eldest}} son.

* [[The Social Expert]]: Probably the best example in a whole family full of examples.
