[edit] Character

Ms. Cartman is about average height for a woman in South Park. She has brown hair and wears a light blue top with red trousers. She shows great deference to her overweight son, Eric and has been seen on numerous occasions bowing to his will. It is seen that they have a great bond with each other. However, since the episode "Tsst", she has begun to grow resistant to his whining and his demands—seen in a way in "Go God Go" and "Go God Go XII", where she is quite stern with Eric when he shows great impatience regarding the release date of the Nintendo Wii, although this may have been because she doesn't approve of modern day technology. However, in Cartman Sucks, she questions Mrs Broflovski about Eric's photograph, showing her resistance may have weakened.

Liane is a good-natured individual but with a definite edge to her. Her voice is usually kind and soft, and her actions are usually to aid others, particularly Eric. She is also very sexually active and regularly pursues this activity. She is reputedly a crack whore, and has taken part in German "Scheiße movies". She also has no issue with commencing sexual relations with complete strangers; usually visitors to the home.

[edit] Family and friends

Her major family link in the show is her son, Eric. She spoils and mothers him to a great degree, a major factor in his obesity and general attitude. In terms of friends, she seems integrated into the circle of parents around the town. She is often seen with Stan's parents among the others when they congregate.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut"

In this episode it is revealed that she has slept with almost every adult in South Park (except Halfy who has no legs), including Chief Running Water, Chef, Mr. Garrison, Principal Victoria, the mayor, Jesus, Priest Maxi, Mephisto, his assistant Kevin, Jimbo, Ned, Gerald Broflovski, and the 1989/1991 Denver Broncos. She also explains sex to Cartman; "sometimes the man puts his who-who-dilly in the woman's cha-cha".

[edit] "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut"

It is in this episode that it is learned that Ms. Cartman was her son's father: thus she is an intersexual.

[edit] "Tsst"

To help control Eric's behavioural issues, she hires the help of Cesar Millan. He teaches her a method of curbing Eric's temper and whining by a method he uses on dogs, that is poking (with two fingers) the subject in the neck, making the onomatopoeic noise "Tsst!". This approach works, and Liane is overjoyed. She tries to form relations with Cesar, but he turns her down.
