Yor Forger is the adoptive mother of Anya in Spy x Family. On the surface, Yor is a deadly assassin who can take down any threat without any help. However, she’s really, really soft, innocent, and vulnerable when it comes to her family. In fact, this very contrast between her two personalities is the reason why fans love Yor so much.
Even though the family life she’s living is nothing more than a task she took on, she deeply cares about Anya and Loid. Sure, her cooking may be questionable, but her love for her family, especially for Anya, isn’t.

In Hunter x Hunter, Mito is the cousin of Gon’s father, Ging Freecss, which makes her Gon’s foster mother. Ging left Gon when he was just 2 years old because he wanted to pursue his own adventure. So, it was Mito who loved and raised Gon as her own son, which is enough evidence to prove she’s a one-of-a-kind person.
Years later, Gon embarks on his own journey because of Mito. Mito never let Gon feel that he didn’t have a family or a home to go back to. Honestly, Mito’s pure love for Gon proves that being a parent isn’t about sharing the same blood; it’s about the heart.
