Every once in a while you’ll get a character who’s just too badass for their own good. Linda Tran was definitely one of those people, honestly. She’s fierce, loving, and she deserved more screen time. Here are some reasons to love and appreciate Linda Tran.
She’s a single mom. Her husband died when Kevin was young, but she’s not defined by the fact that she’s a widow.
She’s very driven in her own right and that rubbed off on her son. She might’ve pushed him to succeed, but she never acted as if Kevin’s future was more important than his well-being and she never mentioned what he “should” be doing instead of being a prophet.
She was clever and resourceful. She blackmailed a pawn shop owner with tax law and that’s kinda badass.
Her anti-possession tattoo was not her first tattoo and that’s just amazing. Also, she handled getting a tattoo like it was nothing. (And even comforted her son while he was getting his.)
She offered her own soul for her son’s life and safety. She won the auction because offering her soul was the most valuable thing she could offer.
She punched Crowley in the face.
She told angels off for not protecting her son properly.
She was incredibly traumatized and unresponsive after she was possessed by Crowley. That scene was really freaking powerful and I think the only one like it that we’ve seen.
She hired a witch off Craigslist. That’s the most mom thing to ever happen.
She supersoakered Crowley with holy water.
She was captured and tortured by demons after Kevin’s death. She killed the demon who tortured her after she was rescued.
She took her son’s ghost home because she wanted to look after and protect him even though he was a ghost.
She loved her son fiercely.
She got really tired of the Winchester’s inability to keep Kevin safe and she let them know about it, too.
Linda Tran really just wanted what was best for her son and that’s very clear based on what she did. She was fierce, clever, resourceful, and she wasn’t going to put up with shit. She didn’t die but she lost a lot when Kevin died and I just hope that she got reconciliation and is a little happier now that the supernatural is out of her life.
