Naomi Sandburg is Blair Sandburg's mother. She's a free spirit, wandering in and out of Blair's life, but they keep in touch with letters. She was the direct cause of a lot of the angst of the finale, by turning Blair's dissertation over to a publisher and thus abruptly making Jim Ellison's senses publicly known.

The Fanon Naomi
Naomi is the little black dress of characters in the Sentinel fandom. She has been portrayed in fanworks as scattered but well-meaning, out-and-out evil, careless and uncaring, and as a character without fault.
Naomi has been paired with Jim Ellison, Simon Banks and OCs. Her past relationships also come into play in fans' speculation about Blair's father's identity. In at least one fanwork, The Hunted by Rimilod, Naomi is not Blair's mother, but his sister.
Some Naomi Fanfic
