"I just hate being driven to hiss! It's so unladylike."
Mrs. Plithiver, referred to as Mrs. P throughout the movie, is a female blind snake and Soren, Kludd and Eglantine's nursemaid. She accompanies Soren, Gylfie, Twilight and Digger to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.
History[]
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole[]
Mrs. P. does not play as much of a role in the film adaption as she does in the books. She is seen at the start of the film, constantly watching over and tending to the needs of Soren, Kludd, and Eglantine. When Soren comes back from doing some branching, Mrs. P. is seen trying to help Eglantine yarp her first pellet. When Soren and Gylfie escape from St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls and meet Twilight and Digger, Twilight brings Mrs. P. to the hollow shared by him and Digger to serve for the Band. Soren instantly recognizes her, and insists to Twilight she is not for dinner. As in the books, Mrs. P. and Twilight seem to be quite unfond of each other.
She stays in Twilight's lute when they are flying. When Twilight's lute is stolen by crows, Digger is very thankful, but then he and the others remember Mrs. P. is in there, and they rescue her from the pests. When they reach the Echidna, he names Mrs. P. the heart of the family.
Later when Allomere returns from his recon mission, Mrs. P. goes to the two owlets he brought back. She recognized one of the owlets as Eglantine and called for Soren. Then after the Guardians set out, Soren is seen sitting by a moon-blinked Eglantine while Mrs. Plithiver is curled on top of the nest looking down at her. When Soren says he wants to trade places with his sister, she makes a worried remark and welcomes Eglantine after she snaps out of her moon-blinked daze. She is last seen together with Soren's mother and father, who were still alive in the movie, watching Soren land with a happy look.
Trivia[]
- She appears to have eyes in the movie, whilst in the books she just had indents. She was likely given eyes to make her appear less scary, though her eyes do seem to look blind.
- In the movie credits, she is listed as Mrs. Plithiver, despite only ever being called Mrs. P. in the movie. Her first name, Horace, is also never mentioned.
