"You girls are all I have. And right now, all we need is each other to hold on to."

— Nora to Amelia and Rachel after Martin's passing

"Nora Rose Mason, née Hawkins" (born Sep. 2nd, 1971) is the mother of Rachel and Amelia and widow to the late Martin Mason. She is a former officer of the law and takes up a position in Veterinary services.

Detachment from law enforcement
As an officer, Nora, was injured in an accident that rendered her unable to continue in the field. Along with the tragedy, came the death of her service dog, Ginger. This is mostly why Nora wanted to pursue a full fledged Vet career after her service, as she did it in honor of the animal friend that she lost.

Ginger
Ginger was a twelve year old German shepherd who was owned by Nora since infancy. She was enlisted as a service dog at age three and went on stay in the service with Nora for years. Unfortunately, she was eventually caught in an explosion that ended her life and Nora's police duties.
