The mother of Jean-Luc Picard, glimpsed as a vision in The Next Generation and central to the second season of Picard, which reveals the tragedy of her death.
Yvette Picard is the wife of Maurice Picard and mother of Robert and Jean-Luc. She first appears in the Next Generation episode Where No One Has Gone Before, played by Herta Ware, as an elderly woman who offers her son tea when thoughts become real at the edge of the universe.
The second season of Star Trek: Picard shows her as a younger woman, played by Madeline Wise, in memories that surface from The Star Gazer onwards. She is loving and imaginative and encourages her son to look up at the stars, but she suffers from a severe mental illness.
In Monsters and Hide and Seek, Picard at last faces what he had buried: as a boy he unlocked her door, and she took her own life at the chateau.
