** Or, she had [[spoiler:intentionally [[TheKindnapper rescued the human child]] from his depraved biological father (not that hiding the boy in the forest [[{{Determinator}} discouraged him any]]). She may have given [[RuleOfSymbolism Natsuki the woolen coat he wears]] to help him cope with being molested or to disguise him (or both)]]. In either case the goat kids accept him as [[BlackSheep their big brother]] Toruku without question knowing their mother would be angry otherwise, though eldest daughter Lecon immediately suspects that Natsuki isn't who Mother Goat says he is.[[note]]Considering Mother Goat isn't immediately anxious where Toruku is, overwhelmed with compassion for the child of domestic abuse, and gives him back the woolen coat, the latter seems the most probable explanation.[[/note]]

* FashionMagazine: Mother Goat has a few of these lying around her home. Appropriate, considering [[FashionDesigner she made all the coats]] for her children.

* TranquilFury: While Mother Goat is never shown angry in the entire film. She is disturbed as she witnesses [[spoiler: Natsuki's intruding father preparing to rape his own son, and thrown her children across her house. She lacks any emotion as she disposes of the wicked man's body in the river.]]

* MamaBear: Be you man or beast, do NOT EVER harm Mother Goat's beloved children. She will straight up ''end you''. Her adaptation takes the original ''Grimm Fairy Tales'' character UpToEleven in that she not only murders the wolf, and kills [[spoiler: Natsuki's wicked father, disposing of his body in the river]] but carries a bear trap in the ending to catch and slay many more wolves, to make the forest safe for her little ones.

* BaitAndSwitch: What seems to be a story about [[spoiler:a mother driven to desperation and possibly even madness by grief abducting a child to replace the one she lost]] ends up being about [[spoiler:recovering from trauma, learning to trust and love again, and learning what ''really'' makes someone a monster]].

* ParentsAsPeople: Mother Goat is a doting protective parent, but she cannot be [[AdultFear everywhere at once]], leaving them vulnerable when she has to go out shopping for her children.
