This is the role of Coraline, Marigold's deceased mother.

Coraline often had problems figuring out how and how not to parent her two children, Marigold and Sharlot. Both had some type of mental disorder or disability that she couldn't get her head around. She is extremely feisty and easily stressed, making herself quite the riot at gatherings and events.

Her voice is hard to describe with words rather than simply saying she had a deeper feminine voice that was often quite scratchy when she yelled.
