Minerva Campbell

Minerva Campbell is Finn's biological mother. She first appeared in a flashback in the episode "Hide and Seek".

Appearance
Minerva has blonde hair, wears an orange blouse and a brown skirt under a doctor's lab coat, and a white hat that symbolizes the Helper occupation. She speaks with an Irish accent.

Personality
Like her son Finn, Minerva has a kind and selfless personality.

In "The Visitor", Martin avoids speaking about Minerva, claiming it "stresses him out," suggesting that whatever truly happened left Martin somewhat traumatized, unless it was simply a way to avoid telling the truth. Martin named his makeshift space ship, "The Minnie", after her.

In "Min and Marty" it's shown that she is very clever, and her willingness to help will extend beyond what's considered "right". In the episode she prevents Martin's re-education by using the Seekers' trust in her to successfully lie about his inability to participate.

Abilities
As a Helper, Minerva is well-versed in the knowledge of medicine.

Trivia

 * In "Min and Marty", Minerva possesses three college degrees and a couple of awards for her dedicated contributions to the welfare of the citizens.
 * Her Helpers hat was the inspiration to the appearance of her son's hat.
 * Her role as a helper can extend beyond medicine, as she is seen helping old women get to their class and deciding sports lineups.
 * She is the only helper seen doing this, so it's possible that she simply volunteered to take on the other responsibilities.
 * Adam Muto explained that her wanting to help was essential for Finn's heroic personality.
 * In the picture montage during "Min and Marty", her certificate has the last name "Brandt" on it instead of her true name.
 * Brandt is an old English name for sword.
 * It's possible that they changed her name to an Irish one to fit her accent more
 * In the same montage, it's shown that she has one or more PhDs.
