Janelle-Li

Janelle-Li is the first and to date only female member of the Brotherhood of Guardians. Athair's mother, she left him on Angel Island at the age of nine as was Guardian tradition, only for the Ancient Walkers to later bring him to Haven. Recognizing that some other destiny was in store for her son, Janelle-Li returned to Angel Island to reassume the position of Guardian while Athair became Mitre of the Lost Tribe of Echidnas. Later, she apparently contracted a fatal disease of some sort, which provoked her grandson Sabre to ask his father to return to his role as Guardian. When Athair refused, Sabre went in his place, and as a result caused a rift between him and his father that has never healed. Janelle-Li died, and resides in the afterlife with other Brotherhood members, most of whom appeared at Knuckles' funeral.
