Mammy is Cynara's mother. At the beginning of her story, Mammy is a slave who belongs to Lady and goes with her to Cotton Farm when Lady marries Planter. Mammy is put in charge of Lady's children as they are born. As the oldest, Mammy forms a special bond with Other. As Other grows and becomes a woman, Mammy goes with her from place to place to care for Other's children.
