She is Augustine's pious, weeping, and patient mother. Raised with the traditions of the African Churches, despite having a difficult marriage with her irritable husband Patricius, she brought him into the Christian faith just before his death through her humility and patience. She tied all her life's hope to her son's conversion to the Catholic faith and his salvation. Although she grieved for a long time due to her son's Manichaean beliefs, she followed him like a shadow to Italy with the hope she received from her dreams. A few days after a philosophical-spiritual awakening she shared with her son in Ostia, she fell ill and died, filled with the peace of seeing her son enter the path of faith.
Kind-hearted, she was raised by an elderly nanny who disciplined her strictly and kept her away from wine during her childhood. As a young girl, she had the weakness of taking sneaky sips from wine barrels, but after a harsh remark from a servant, she realized her mistake and reformed completely. When she married, she was obedient to her irritable husband and eventually won over her mother-in-law with affection and gentle words.
Despite her advancing age, she possesses a face and demeanor that reflect a 'manly faith,' a blend of calmness, serenity, peace, and tears.
Patricius
The husband with worldly ambitions whom she led to the path through her obedience and pious patience and ensured was baptized before he died.
Aurelius Augustinus
Her talented but straying son, who was the only worldly joy and concern of her life, and for whose salvation on the path of Christianity she sacrificed her life.
