She is the mother of Kagura Sohma.
Appearance[]
She is a fair-skinned woman in her middle age with a pair of light-colored eyes, who usually wear lipstick. She has straight, nape-length, light brown hair and long bangs covering her forehead and framing her face. She bears a strong physical resemblance to Kagura.
Personality[]
She is shown to be a level-headed, calm and serious woman, but a caring and considerate mother who isn't bothered by Kagura's curse nor her double-edged, aggressive personality and tendency to destroy parts of their house in fits of anger on a regular basis; taking it in stride and having a rather easy-going but tired reaction to it considering how often it occurs. She is also understanding towards Isuzu Sohma, who despite being cold with the family and distances herself from them, gives her the space she needs.[1][2]
Story Overview[]
History[]
Kagura mentions that when she was young, her parents would always fight, presumably due to the stress of having Kagura - a Cursed Zodiac member - as their daughter. Kagura also remembers that her mother would always cry after every fight.[2] However, it is implied that she and her husband worked through things, as they are mentioned to still be together and supportive and loving towards Kagura.[3]
At some point, she and her husband took in Isuzu, after the latter's father and mother severed contact with her.
Second Year Arc[]
During summer vacation, she questions Kagura if she had argued with Rin again. She mentions that despite Rin having lived for them quite a while, she is still awkward and distant with them, even having become more headstrong that before. She then tells Kagura to not go to the Sohma cottage since Akito Sohma had gone there as well, and she didn't want Kagura to get hurt. Kagura's mother adds that it was Shigure Sohma who had invited Akito, frustrating Kagura to the point of destroying her front door, with her mother reminding her that she had broken the front door the last month as well.[1]
After Kagura had a heart-to-heart talk with Kyo Sohma, she came home crying. Her mother worried very much about her and wanted to console her, but Kagura, although she appreciated her mother's support, didn't want anyone's compassion or sympathy.[2]
Relationships[]
Kagura Sohma[]
Despite Kagura being cursed by a Zodiac Spirit and having an aggressive and destructive behavior, she takes it in stride and genuinely loves and worries about Kagura. She suggests for Kagura to not go to the Sohma cottage since she didn't want her to get injured by Akito, also mentioning that she wouldn't know what she would do if Kagura got hurt.[1] She also knows when Kagura feels down and wants to try her best to console her daughter.[2]
Trivia[]
- Her name is never mentioned.
- She is one of the few Sohma parents who wholly accept their "cursed" child.
