In Smurf society in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, a female Smurf who becomes a Mama Smurf through the production of an offspring is expected to show the positive traits of an adult female Smurf, which include gentleness, empathy, resourcefulness, fidelity to her spouse and children, wisdom, and uncompromising love. She endeavors to make her house a place that is a safe haven for her husband and children to come home to. She helps the child understand that there are limits in society that he cannot go beyond and reinforces those limits in the child's personal life. For young female Smurfs, the Mama Smurf gives them an example of femininity that they can model themselves from, while for young male Smurfs, the Mama Smurf gives them an example of the type of female Smurf that they would want to marry someday.
