Mrs. Kagenou

Mrs. Kagenō (オカン・カゲノー) is the mother of Cid and Claire, and the matriarch of the Kagenō family. Like her husband, she is a Noble overseeing a sector land within the Midgar Kingdom. She is ignorant to her son's true affiliation and her daughter's possession.

Appearance
Mrs. Kagenō is a pretty young woman with black hair that reaches to her shoulders, with bangs parted to her right and locks of hair in front of her ears. She wears a long, two layered dress with a frilled vest, short heeled shoes atop white socks, a notable eggshell white ascot, and a long sleeve white blouse with frilled cuffs. Altogether, Mrs. Kagenō appears to be the low class Noblewoman she and her husband are, and dresses accordingly.

Personality
Mrs. Kagenō seems to be warm and pleasant on the surface, especially regarding her children's upbringing, but can be quick-tempered and violent if justifiably provoked. She viciously attacked her husband for his cowardice when her daughter, Claire Kagenō, was abducted, calling her the only 'hope of the family,' as well calling her own husband "baldy."

She is also somewhat careless towards Cid, letting him do what he wants to focus more on Claire's growth, mainly due to Claire's prodigal aptitude for the sword and Cid's blatant nonchalantness.

Birth of Cid Kagenō
Mrs. Kageno was genuinely happy to have had Cid. However, as he grew older and showed no aptitude for anything, she focused more on Claire's growth, while allowing Cid to do as he wished. This was mainly due to Claire's aptitude helping to keep their family in regard to the kingdom's peerage.

The Kidnapping of Claire Kagenō
Following the discovery of Claire's abduction, Mrs. Kagenō was overflowed with rage due to her husband's cowardice and hesitance in taking action. So she directed her rage towards him, violently attacking him as her son and a maid left the scene.

Trivia
