I don't agree with the author on 6 or 9.
Terra is never constrained by her motherhood role; rather, her choice to be a caring mother empowers her and instills strength in her character.
on the contrary, for a sizable chunk of the game, she decides to huddle in the orphanage and take care of the kids while everyone else is out saving the world. there's a pretty strong implication that she's too neurotic/unstable/weak (emotionally) to fight alongside the others, so that's why she relegates herself to the role of mother. it's not a particularly empowering take on motherhood.
obviously Terra does snap out of it eventually, but I can't really give her props for that, since it's what the rest of the party was doing to begin with.
Brahnes escape pod reaches a beach, where she soon dies after Garnet finds her. She passes away in Garnets arms, but before doing so she apologizes for all the pain she caused not just to the world, but also to her daughter. Garnet, despite resenting her mother for all the destruction she has caused, deeply mourns the death of her motherand its one of the most touching scenes in the entire franchise.
I'm not sold on this either - I didn't find the scene particularly touching. Brahne was evil (in a cartoonish, non-nuanced fashion) and a deathbed repentance isn't going to suddenly make me feel sorry for her. I don't think one brief scene can retroactively make their relationship nuanced; it's just out of character.
You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT.
