Grandmotherly figure it is.

Morag Seòbhragan, founder and matriarch of the community for these past eighty-five years. She will be deeply concerned by the situation with the runaways, but she’s getting on and her knees aren’t up to a journey into the Ashenwood. She will steadfastly watch over Falgarra’s boys in her own hall, while Falgarra serves Morag and the community by faring out and finding the lost children.

And if Falgarra wants to give each of them a good hiding, that’s fine with Morag too.
