How was it obvious that she was your mother? She didn't age between the fight with out new villain and a year ago when she was taken. It seemed to me that she was another twin, unless Dean Elise Goeffe took in one person and her identical daughter was taken in later. We have Raife kidnapping "G" who comes along with him because he says he won't hurt her or "Winnie" (whom I assume is her twin . . . I'm wondering if it's Gwendolyn and Guinevere or something like that) from Elise's house about a year ago. G looks exactly like the person who fought our newest enemy. We assume that he was locked up for a long time, but we don't actually know. I do believe this to be true, so I'm think that this young woman, one of the eight, was a friend of our parents (and at least one of them was also one of the eight) and she's not related to the Dean, but instead, someone she took in (although the lack of deaging on Elise does bother me a bit . . . but who knows. Some people are gray at 20 . . . not that I'm saying Elise was 40 when she died, just saying we don't know how old she was) and has protected for years. This person had a set of twins, maybe even was already pregnant when the Elise took her in. Something may well have happened to this woman and Elise raised her children. . . although the lack of Winnie being with G when G was taken makes it also possible that they were either raised separate or just Winnie wasn't home that day (and is now in hiding).

I'm not saying you are wrong. I simply don't know that. I'm just saying that I read it completely different than you and I am curious if you can explain more why you are so convinced of your viewpoint on this.
