She is also shrewd, tough and [[MamaBear would do anything]] to protect the harem's children. Silas, who is her husband in name only, since he "inherited" her from his father, dislikes her immensely but also respects her.

The apron, though, only appears on her in the Japanese verison of the anime and her video game sprite, as the animators feared US viewers would see her as a 'mammy' stereotype, since she's dark-skinned.

[[LarynxDissonance Voiced by Ed Asner]] (in an homage to old Boris Karloff movies) in the DCAU, [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Granny is quite literally child abuse incarnate.]] Her specialty is warping the minds of children with [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]] and brainwashing to become {{Tyke Bomb}}s, while saying and ''genuinely'' believing that she's actually being kind to them by doing so.
