: While I still think she should have communicated better with Tatiana, she is an actual badass of a woman. And she is not even a swordswoman or anything, just a woman on a mission. A mission to make her daughters happy and alive, whether they want it or not. She is definitely controlling and bossy and thinks she knows better than her daughters, but the thing is she wasn't really wrong. The husbands she got for her daughters were all good men, so she wasn't just throwing her daughters at random rich men for money and power, she was genuinely securing her daughters futures. Tatiana was just an unfortunate exception where she had no choice but to marry into the royal family just to survive (not that Tatiana herself knew about it). And now that the danger has passed, she can actively stand on her daughter's side again. Honestly, a terrifying, but respectable woman. She had to raise five daughters pretty much by herself and she also became just about one of the richest and most powerful women in the country while at it.
