well from strip 1221, i think its safe to assume she was kicked out of her homelands becuse she gave birth to a "filthy" hybrid. just as i thought

If Madam is speaking sooth then she intentionally left. For good reason too.

I wonder how stressing it must be for an inherently Chaotic being to be Lawful person all the time. Then i wonder, if half orcs get the urge to tear small animals in two as Glon did, what kind of urges full blooded orcs get when faced with oh so much sleaze.

Probably not too hard, in theory. All societies have rules of behaviour that their people must follow. She's moved into a more restrictive one and one where she's at a considerable disadvantage but following the rules shouldn't be too much of a stretch, unless otherwise provoked.

Well, she is provoked. Daily. And Nightly. And it is obvious from her work surroundings she comes face to face with the more uncontrolled, savage parts of this society. Still, she did not hire a thug to beat the procurer. She reported him to the Temple, even though she would not find help there. I feel she is striving to outdo the humans so not a word will be spoken against her and be true -or maybe she desires to be an example to Jone.

But when everyone around you is breaking the law and usually does so in a way that harms you (lying, grabbing you, making suggestions, abusing authority) how long will it take you to snap, if your tendency is to be fierce and harsh?

Depends on your motivation. If she's putting up with this to make things better for Joan then it's likely she'll keep in check until that goal is acomplished. Once that's achieved, however, heads could very well roll.

Strip 1228 leads even more credence that the White Eye family have Goldkeeper ancestry. She is trying to use the correct and public ways to handle the problem. Still it looks like she is reaching the end of her diplomatic rope.

while it is possible she is one of the last remaining goldkeepers, i still suspect shes from a completly diffrent tribe that never lived under the black mountan.

Just bumping this thread because mme white eye deserves it. tough, brave and a damn good mother.

i'll second that, Mme White eye is a pretty amazing character.I want some kind of"happy" ending for her, for all she's going through, but i can't help feeling she'll find Jone to be alive, then somehow die. But it wouldn't matter to her as long as jone is ok

I guess seeing her as a protege of the half orc prince will be enough, but it will be even better if she stays alive, thank you veruy much. After all, Maula could use her -she has shown some remarkable qualities and could be more than useful.
I am only worried that even with Jone dressed as a princess and treated right, she will not be able to trust Glon not to harm her. Maybe she will think he is turning her into a concubine -she has learned to only trust in hard work and noone else.

I agree 100% about the remarkable qualities and I feel Maula will respect Mme White Eye's indomitable courage. Mme's fierce maternal loyalties should also strike a chord with Maula.

As ever grateful for this epic narrative, great artwork and superb humour!

Unless Maula sees her as a threat. She cannot show weakness right now, and insubordination has to be dealt with swiftly, as she warned it would.
Plus despite or her great qualities, she seems a stubborn lady there is no Mountain big enough for two stubborn ladies...

Looks like our theories on Mme Whiteye's origin and links to the black mountain may be proved right or wrong soon. I can't wait. A link to the Bloodhand's? I'm even more intrigued than before now.
Oh and i how after what i'm presuming were days of brutal torture and the supposed death of her daughter Mme Whiteye is still defiant.
And any speculation on the "eat my s---" unfinished sentance. I got nothing.

I also continue to like the true grit that Mme White Eye shows.

If you can't finish the word, by rights I should not tell you any of the words I can imagine. I am not going to be a corrupting influence.
