>>120172962I have a theory that his mother is actually a really strong warrior, and his father only put on his suit to impress her and he ignored Mao Mao because his mom and dad didn't want Mao Mao to have a dangerous life. His sisters were born warriors yet Mao Mao chose to be one basically. I think his father knew how hard it was being a warrior despite being born weak and small while also needing to keep up appearances and realized that life was too hard to live and his only son should not have that kind of life.
Come to think of it, we never hear much about his mom. He is on good terms with her as seen in Small as they have each others numbers. She's only seen in that one flashback. I mean all the flashbacks we have of Mao Mao are all negative memories so if Mao Mao has found memories of his mom it makes sense we haven't seen her yet.
Also of note, in the lonely kid, Mao Mao's aunt is seen with peach cobbler. Depending on whose sister she is that tells us which parent is actually the descendent of the Mao clan. Looking at the image, the mother is quite big, so it would make sense she is the descendent. Asking Parker whose sister she is is something I wanna do, but that requires a Twitter account and I'll make when one hell freezes over.
