I have some concerns with the description:
* So there's a line that specifies that this is essentially an {{Expy}} of Mary Magdalene, but I think the first paragraph should make this  more obvious.  The second paragraph makes it seem like this trope is just "name (Mary) + trait (Goodness)," since it says that a possible subversion of this is when it's an"evil or malicious character" who happens to be named "Mary."
* Does this character need to be the maternal figure to an AllLovingHero or [[MessianicArchetype a messiah-esque character]] or does she only need to be a maternal figure to the protagonist?
* There shouldn't be an explicit reference to PeopleSitOnChairs, imo -- since it's an Administrivia page geared toward tropers not readers, and trope descriptions should be written for readers not tropers.  The description should just make it clear, to readers of the site who are not tropers, that a character happening to be named "Mary" and also who happens to be the TeamMom does not fit the trope.
