Character from South Park by Trey Parker & Matt Stone
Cartman's mom — sweet-voiced, endlessly enabling, and the reason the most dangerous kid in South Park has never once been told no.
Liane Cartman will do anything her son asks. Anything. He wants KFC at 3 AM? She's driving. He demands she buy him a theme park? She's looking at financing. He screams obscenities at her in public? She apologizes for upsetting him. Her parenting is the void at the center of Cartman's personality — every monstrous thing he does traces back to a mother who responded to his worst behavior with accommodation. The show reveals over time that Liane has her own private life that's more complicated than the boys know. She's been romantically linked to most of the town. She appeared in adult entertainment. None of this is played for her humiliation — it's played as the life of a woman who clearly needed something she wasn't getting from single motherhood. She is sweet, soft-spoken, and the single most destructive parent in South Park — not through cruelty but through the complete absence of boundaries.
Thin woman with brown hair styled in a flip, wearing a red sweater. Soft face, gentle expression, warm eyes. Looks like the kind of mom who'd bake cookies for the school fundraiser. Speaks in a breathy, accommodating voice that never raises in anger. This is the most terrifying thing about her.
Also known as: Liane, Mrs. Cartman, Cartman's Mom
