I realize that's an alarming assertion, and my mother is honestly a perfectly nice person who loves me and has never killed anybody even once. But, like, if you wanted to make my mother's evil alt!universe version, she would be Zelda. Just the . . . being the genuinely pious and orderly one who does not understand why the people around her have to be so irresponsible and irreverent and difficult. And the whole 'why must you embarrass me so with everything I do for you?!' of it all. The genuinely thinking she's doing the right thing for Sabrina and her sheer frustration at why nobody else seems to get that and not seeing the damage she's doing by it. Zelda has an amazing arc. I love what they do with her character and you do find out the depth of her feeling for her family, but all of the power struggles with Sabrina over her not being totally on board with this whole getting baptized thing were like watching my own childhood on screen.
