Seymour ' s mother Seymour ' s mother is a non - player character in " Final Fantasy X " . She appears to the party to tell them the history behind Seymour Guado . Profile . Seymour ' s mother had shoulder length dark hair , which was lightly threaded with gray . She had blue eyes , which Seymour inherited , and was dressed in a dark purplish - blue draped bodice with a straight blue skirt , and a delicate golden chain belt with small teardrop pendants . Her dress was reminiscent of simple Grecian styles . She wore strapped blue - gray heels and split tiered green sleeves edged with pale yellow and a orange chain - link pattern at the top , as well as an elaborate golden necklace . Story . Seymour ' s mother is found at the Baaj Temple as the fayth of the aeon Anima . She reveals that in her past life , she was the object of much animosity due her interracial marriage to Lord Jyscal Guado , and to prevent civil war among the Guado she was exiled with her young son , Seymour Guado , to Baaj Island for their own protection . When Seymour demonstrated exceptional talent in the art of summoning , his mother encouraged him to undertake the pilgrimage to Zanarkand and volunteered to serve as his guardian along the way . " Final Fantasy X Ultimania Omega " elaborates that as Seymour ' s mother knew she would soon die , and this was her motivation to take Seymour to Zanarkand when he was 10 years old . She feared her son would have no place to belong to in Spira , hoping that giving him the chance to defeat Sin would win Seymour acceptance . Seymour ' s mother knew of the mechanics of the Final Summoning through Jyscal , as the Guado possess their own records that tell of Spira ' s sealed histories in fragments . Jyscal was aware of Seymour and his mother going to the Zanarkand Ruins , and privately supported it . When they reached the Zanarkand Ruins , Seymour ' s mother offered herself up to be turned into the fayth for the Final Summoning . Seymour , devastated , broke off the pilgrimage and returned to Baaj alone . Seymour would not return for his mother ' s fayth until he was twenty - five . Having finalized his plans , he moved her fayth statue from Zanarkand and sealed it within Baaj Temple . When Yuna and her guardians visit the ruins of Baaj Temple they are greeted by Seymour ' s mother ' s fayth , who tells the story of Seymour ' s past and offers Anima ' s services to Yuna to help her destroy Sin . She reveals that she holds no ill will towards her son ; rather , she blames herself for failing to sufficiently prepare him for the challenges and pressures that would face him as a summoner and a half - human living among the Guado . Feeling responsible for Seymour ' s downfall , she views her service to Yuna as her last opportunity to atone for her decisions , to " destroy Sin and her son ' s obsession with it " , and welcomes the chance to be possessed by Yu Yevon in the final battle . During the final battle with Seymour inside Sin , if Anima is summoned Seymour remarks " You would oppose me as well ? So be it ! " It is unknown though if Seymour is addressing Anima as a former aeon , or as his mother . Voice . Seymour ' s mother is voiced by Hedy Burress , who also provides the voice of Yuna in the English version . In the Japanese version she is voiced by Kayoko Fujii , who also provides the voice of Belgemine .
