Mrs. Jötunheim

Character Information
|
Mrs. Jötunheim is a recurring character in The Amazing World of Gumball. Her first appearance was in "The Colossus." She is Hector's mother despite not resembling her son.
Appearance
Mrs. Jötunheim is a short, elderly-looking woman. Her skin is green and wrinkled, and her gray hair is held up in a bun. She has a large, lavender nose, and slightly pale lips with two blunt teeth sticking up out of the bottom. She wears a purple dress and two rows of golden bangles on both of her arms. She is shown to be very short in stature, as both Gumball and Darwin are taller than her.
Personality
Mrs. Jötunheim is very protective of her son, choosing what movies he should watch and what comics he should read; It is later revealed that she has a very good reason for doing so, since, as she later explains to Gumball and Darwin, literally everything about a giant is big, including their emotions--as a result, they have to be kept as calm as possible. She initially had a confrontational attitude towards Gumball and Darwin, however, she didn't seem to blame them when Hector began destroying the town (even though it was, at least partially, their fault).
