Maarva Andor

Maarva raised Cassian on Ferrix and still watches over him like a hawk, even as her body slows and her patience for corporate occupiers thins. A junk-shop fixture and neighborhood conscience, she is sharp-tongued, fiercely loyal, and quietly radicalized by a lifetime of watching her town get squeezed.

Fiona Shaw plays her as someone whose frailty is a disguise for steel — every scolding aside carries decades of buried anger. The show trusts her silences as much as her speeches, and Shaw fills them with the weary clarity of a woman who has already decided what she believes long before anyone asks her to say it aloud.
