[[/folder]]

* DealWithTheDevil: It's strongly implied that the price of her help is much higher than it seems, and Blindfold warns Legion on that basis.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Overlaps with MagicalBarefooter.
* FunetikAksent: She seems to speak in a strong East London accent, and her dialogue is written accordingly. [[spoiler:As she points out in ''[[ComicBook/SinsOfSinister Nightcrawlers]]'', it's not ''exactly'' a UsefulNotes/{{London}} accent, though. It's [[UsefulNotes/HomeCounties Essex]]]].
-->'''Mother Righteous:''' 'Ere, I'll just let ''meself'' in, shall I?
* OppositeSexClone: [[spoiler:She's one of four modified clones of Nathan Essex, the Victorian scientist who became Mister Sinister. Unlike some of the others, she's under no illusions about her nature and knows she's not the original]].
* PhraseCatcher: So far the only condition for her assistance is that the recipient thanks her by name, "Thank you Mother Righteous." When Ora Serrata refuses, she suffers [[ImHavingSoulPains aches in her soul]] until she complies.
* PunnyName: Referring to herself as "Righteous" is not only a reference to the traditional meaning of the word as she claims to be fighting a just cause, [[spoiler:she's opposite Sinister in every way right down to being the ''Right''eous to his Left (as in Sinister's older meaning of referring to the left)]].
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The very end of ''ComicBook/LegionOfX'' #10 shows Mother Righteous unmasked for the first time, revealing the heart symbol on her forehead. She's not the astral entity she was assumed to be - instead, she's an OppositeSexClone of the ComicBook/XMen's old enemy Mister Sinister, one of four variants created over a century ago, each marked with a pip for a different playing card suit. Righteous is the last of the four to be revealed, setting the stage for the ''ComicBook/SinsOfSinister'' event.]]

* FunetikAksent: She speaks in a strong London (cockney) accent, and her dialogue is written accordingly.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: She's the heart suite Sinister clone]]
