@GrantPoston So I suppose it's not really として, but it's a meaning such that it act as as. I suppose as linked in the answer by Chocolate's comment there are actions that do not take the quotative と, but they are fairly rare. However, as the answer naruto links also says there are other combinations of と such where it can act as as japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/55158/…. In the examples naruto lists, I'd say many of them are fairly common.

In your case, I think the active voice is used because there is a particular person in the story who respects her like a mother. This use of と is discussed in this question. | |
