godmother
Christening ceremony sponsor
A godmother is a woman who sponsors a child at baptism, traditionally promising to help with the child's religious upbringing.
The role often extends beyond religious duties to general mentorship and gift-giving: My godmother always remembered my birthday.
A fairy godmother is a magical helper in folklore, and by extension anyone who provides unexpected aid or generosity.
