In the second episode of season four, Outlander introduces a new character who becomes an important figure in Jamie and Claire's new life in America. Her name is Jocasta Cameron (Maria Doyle Kennedy), though her maiden name was Mackenzie. She is Jamie's mother's youngest sibling, the sixth child and fourth daughter in the family.
The capable, formidable woman is thrice married and widowed and has also buried three daughters, but she doesn't let any of that slow her down. Kennedy told E! Online in an interview that Jocasta "does not suffer fools at all - and she sees fools everywhere."

Non-book readers may be wondering how and why Jocasta is blind. On the show, the affliction is never addressed. In the book, it comes up for Claire a few times. First off, it takes everyone a while to realize that Jocasta can't see.
