Facts about Narcissa Malfoy:

Very little is known at this point about Narcissa Black Malfoy except that she is assumed to be the one who sends her son Draco packages of sweets every day.  We also know that she has enough power to convince her husband to keep their only son at Hogwarts, despite his wishes to send Draco to Durmstrang. 

Fanon has speculated that Narcissa is some weak whelp of a woman, struggling under the reign of an abusive husband, but there is no evidence in canon to support that Narcissa Black is anything other than a typical, upper-class socialite prone to spoiling her only son.  With a husband like Lucius Malfoy and a sister like Bellatrix Lestrange, it leaves the imagination wide-open as to what kind of woman Narcissa really is.
