Editing Hero's Mother (Dragon Quest III) (section)

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
The Hero's mother begins the game by awakening their child and escorting them to the castle of [[Aliahan]], saying that this is the big day she's raised them for. She wishes them well on their journey and will always insist that he or she spend the night when visiting. When [[Baramos]] is killed, she is overcome with pride to the point that she worries she may burst, and the {{Hero 3}} is no longer able to rest over night at home. Due to the king's intent to keep [[Zoma]]'s declaration of war a secret from the citizenry, she is unaware of the devil's existence.

In the {{SFC}} remake and subsequent ports of the game, the player has the option to revive Ortega by defeating the dragon goddess [[Xenlon]] and being granted a wish. Ortega will appear in the Hero's home the next time they visit, with their mother on cloud nine that her husband has returned safe and sound after so many years. She weeps with joy, and introduces Ortega to their now grown child.

She appears twice in the eleventh game, both instances being cameos. In all versions of the game she appears in the HD reenactment of the opening to the third game, with the one alteration being that she is shown reading a book detailing the adventures of the {{Luminary}} before waking her own hero. Whether this book is a history book or a story book is unknown, owing to the ambiguous connection between the game and the [[Erdrick trilogy]].

The second cameo is exclusive to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and {{Switch}} Versions of the game, and can be accessed through the [[Echo Chamber]]. Here, the Luminary is transported to the time before the marriage of the young lady and Ortega, appearing in their future home. A monster has altered the minds of the townsfolk of [[Aliahan]], convincing them that the marriage will be a terrible thing and that they should put a stop to it at all costs, with his intent to prevent the legendary hero from being born. The bride to be and her eventual father in law are dumbstruck at the sudden change in character of their neighbors, and ask the {{Luminary}} for help. One quick trouncing later, and the monster's attempt to alter history is ended.
