Spotted Ma

> It's enough trouble parenting my own kids, sweetie, so I'm certainly not looking to play caregiver to you too. Go find your own way.
>
> Spotted Ma to Hopeful, Chapter 17: Burdens

## Basic Information

### Name(s):

Spotted Ma (as given by Storm)Mom, Mommy (by The Burdens)

## Relations

### Offspring:

The Burdens

**Spotted Ma** is a minor character in the webcomic, *I Hope So*. She is a spotted lioness and the mother of the Burdens.

## Summary

> *Spotted Ma (as nicknamed by Storm) is one of the many leopards that inhabit the Golden Plains, the wide sparse lands that lay outside of Jasper's kingdom in the Grove. She is the mother to two cubs, her "Burdens" and has a very pessimistic, depressing outlook on life. Naturally distrustful of all creatures of the Plains - particularly the "fuzzheads" (lions) - Spotted Ma is hardly the most friendly resident of the area. Despite her ruthless nature, she'll do whatever it takes to defend her two cubs.*
>
>

## Appearance

Spotted Ma is a leopardess with a torn left ear and a pendant marking on her chest. Like most leopards, she's rosetted. Her eyes are yellow with lash-like markings around them. Her lids, inner ear fur, eye spots, muzzle, cheek fur, neck, underbelly, and tail tip are white. She has three thick black bands at the end of her tail, as well.

## Personality

Spotted Ma comes off as extremely distrustful of animals that don't live near her territory, especially lions, and won't hesitate to put herself in combat to drive them away. She is generally not very friendly and is also rather rude, openly insulting Storm, Hope, and Adamant upon meeting them and refusing to help them when they ask for directions. Even when she eventually does give them directions, she leads them to the Stone Forest, which is a dangerous place.

Regarding her treatment towards her two cubs, she's shown to be pretty aloof, not even bothering to give them actual names, instead calling them both "Burdens", stating that "they'll soon not be her problem". Adamant even compares this harshness with Vicious'. Despite this, the leopard does have traces of humanity in her relationship with her children, as she's willing to provide for them and educate them about dangers outside of their home, like the Stone Forest.

Sometimes, when things get tough, he'll temporarily try tagging along or shadowing another pride. Even with his eyes and ears not being what they used to be, he gets along fine, and he's still a big ole fluffy guy looking for friends.

Hii! This is the Founder of the I Hope So wiki. To be honest, I never expected for this wiki to get popular but here we are. Thanks for everyone who are currently participating in making the IHS wiki better everyday.

My name is Vel and I really love reading comics and working on wikis and andnanadnad I LOVE I HOPE SO SO MUCH LIKE FR. Some things about me that my favorite types of animals are felines and that my favorite color is blue >:) um ok bye meow

## DetectiveRJ

### Favourite IHS Character:

Daffodil, Quiet

Hello, all!

My name is RJ and I'm the co-creator of I Hope So, here to help these fine people run and edit this place. I'm hoping that this place will eventually be a helpful resource for those who need to read up on anything they forget or missed when it comes to the comic. Without having to root through the many, many questions on the comic's Tumblr blog, of course.

Aside from art and writing, I also enjoy nature, reading, history and horror movies.

## Synthespirals

### Favourite IHS Character:

Daffodil <3

Hello!!

Never thought that me binging lion-related-content on a Friday night would get me to where I am now, but I guess that's how life goes.

I'm Synth! I'm no stranger when it comes to wikis; I've edited some myself and dabbled in source code many-a-time, but this is the first wikia I'm an admin of! I plan to be active as much as I can whilst my fixation on IHS lasts to provide information for those in need about this lovely comic <3

Apart from IHS, i really really really like rabbits, tea and rock music :D!

## Orphic

### Focusing on:

Creating/cultivating pages and uploading images.

### Favourite IHS Character:

Vicious

Hello to whoever's reading this!

My name is Avery/Arin and I'm a content moderator on the I Hope So wiki. My hope for this website is for it to become a fully-fledged compendium for a series whose characters and word-building I deeply enjoyed. I'm also a major contributor to the IHS' fanon wiki so feel free to let me know if you ever need help over there, too!

My favorite piece of xenofiction, outside of IHS, would have to currently be the Golden Shrike. My favorite animal is the cheetah (though I'm a fan of all felines, big and small)! My music tastes are pretty varied but I probably listen to indie the most.
