Here's some ideas, though you don't have to pick one:

You could make her a very nurturing parent. Like a guide, a mentor, a light in TBDK's world.

Or you could make her very pretty, like a pheonix. Her personality could either be nurturing or kind of sassy, imprudent, and superficial. Maybe that's why TBDK is so mad about looking 'strange'; her mother looked like an absolute angel. Maybe TBDK wants to be pretty, like Alice Angel.

Maybe TBDK"s mother was very kind and nurturing (and popular), but put pressure on TBDK simply because of how pretty she was.  Being the daughter of a dragon-pheonix and being a peasant turkey-dragon must be crushing, especially when you're expected to live up to the expectations.   But that's probably not what you have in mind.

If you want to take a darker route, these are some possible ideas:

Calamus is so sassy and superficial, she verbally abused (possibly mildly, as to not be such a big deal compared to what the other BDKs have done) TBDK to the point of severe self-esteem and body image issues. And the reason why TBDK wants to ressurect Mom Calamus is because her spirit burns the back of her mind, throwing insults and taunting her. Telling her what a worthless, pathetic, hideous wretch she is. Saying that if she was truly her daughter, she would do what any normal daughter would do and ressurect her mother from the ashes. (Cus she be a drago-pheonix)

A possible reason why Calamus can't ressurect herself is because she's not a complete pheonix. Pheonixes are made of flames and fire, but not dragons. And that's why only her ghost (smoke) lives on, but needs help to be put back in her hot bod. Her bod would be more dragon-like, with a flaming mane and tail. (Think of Moltress from Pokemanz, except with scales, four dragon legs, and shiny red scales. Or purple, and the fire is blue!)

Yah those are my suggestions, but you don't have to follow them or anything.
