## Other Info

### Status

Active

The **All-Mother** is an extremely powerful Celestial entity, one which most often takes on the aura of a maternal female. She is the mother of the Four Horsemen, and the creator of The Oracle. After the creation of the First Universe, the All-Mother retreated into the far reaches of the void, and returned a few times over the following thousand years to partake in historical events.

## Description

The All-Mother has never been given a definitive appearance, and it has been implied that she has no true physical form, manifesting herself as merely a felt presence, or occasionally, a bright light.

## Biography

### Pre-Creation

It's not entirely known how the All-Mother came into being, but she existed long before the First Universe was created, "before time itself meant anything." At some point in time she brought the Four Brothers into existence, and raised them to a mature age. Once they were old enough, she retreated into the far reaches of the Void, where she would not be seen for several millennia.

### Post-Creation

It is implied that, during the time that the First Universe was settling, the All-Mother had created multiple parallel universes, infinitely far away from the initial one. She supposedly kept a watchful eye on the First Universe, as she thought its history was the most unique.

### The Wither War

At the turning point of the Wither War, the All-Mother returned to the First Universe, finding Wither weakened by the energy blast set off by the Egg. She took the opportunity to strip him of his invulnerability and god status, reducing him from "Wither" to "The Wither." She then proceeded to seal him away in the Infinite Plane, which was a limbo dimension that sat within the fabric of the universe and was beyond time. With The Wither sealed away, the All-Mother once again left to the void, however she warned Osther and Tether that if he ever returned, she would not be able to help them.

### Post-Wither War

Some time after the Wither War ended, the All-Mother created the Oracle, who she appointed as her messenger and archivist. The Oracle was assigned to watch over the First Universe while she continued to create her parallel universes.

### The Disciple War

When Zephyr was killed at the hands of his once friends, the All-Mother suddenly returned, and touched his body with her finger. This action gave him a second chance at life, however due to the Wither's hold over his body he remained in a catatonic coma. She disappeared immediately after, leaving the Heroes of New Anvil dumbfounded as to what they had just witnessed.

When the Wither was finally slain for good, the All-Mother appeared to the Heroes of New Anvil in the form of a bright light. She actually spoke to them, praising them for putting an end to his madness. She instructed them that, while he could no longer regenerate his body via his soul, it would be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands, as it still contained an incredible amount of power. The All-Mother left once more, entrusting the safety of the Nether Star to the people of New Anvil.

## Personality and Traits

The All-Mother seems to be an incredibly kind and benevolent being, seeing as she gives birth to a great deal of life across the universe, and takes care of it all with compassion. She does have her limits, however, seeing as she refused to interfere with the events of history too much, only ever intervening on two occasions; once to stop The Wither, and a second time to revive Zephyr.

## Relationships

### Ether

It is implied that Ether was the spoiled youngest child, so it is likely that the All-Mother gave him more care than she should have. Oddly, she did not seem to pay any mind to the fact that he cut himself off from the universe when Wither threatened to attack. It could be implied that she simply accepted that as his choice and did nothing to stop him.

### Osther and Tether

Osther and Tether seemed to be the most beloved in the All-Mother's eyes, as the twins were incredibly humble in their goals and actions. It is very likely that she deeply cared for them, especially seeing as she came to their aid at the climax of the Wither War.

### Wither

Wither was the All-Mother's eldest child, and quite possibly received the least amount of attention from her. However, he seemed to deeply care for his mother. When Wither turned and became evil, the All-Mother did not seem to hold any form of resentment towards him, and was simply disappointed that he chose a path of destruction. Additionally, she seemed relieved when he was finally slain for good, implying that she was hoping he would perish.

### The Oracle

The Oracle is treated as a surrogate child to the All-Mother, more akin to a servant and a master than a mother and a child. He carries out her orders, and it's implied that she hold The Oracle in high regard.

## Abilities

### Omnipotent Power

Like all other Celestials, the All-Mother has god-like powers. However, being the original Celestial, hers are virtually unlimited, allowing her to create or destroy not just life and matter, but space and time as well. She seems to refrain from using her more violent powers, and only used any sort of destructive power when stripping the Wither of his god status and invulnerability.

### Voice Projection

It is implied that the All-Mother can project her voice into the minds of mortals (and possibly immortals as well) to speak to them.

## Trivia

* The relationship between the All-Mother and The Oracle is described as being similar to the relationship between Lady Palutena and Pit from *Kid Icarus*, being that the latter receives their powers from the former and is incredibly loyal, and the former treats them more as a friend than a servant or slave.
* Despite being implied to have to physical form, the All-Mother is described as touching Zephyr with a finger when reviving him. It is unknown if this is literal or merely a metaphor.
