She is the mother of Yuzuki Tachibana and Yuuya Tachibana.

## Appearance

Yuzuki's mother is small in height with brown hair and brown eyes. She and Yuzuki look almost identical except her mother's hair is thin and straight whereas Yuzuki's thick and extremely wavy.

## Personality

Yuzuki's mother is a very loving wife and mother, who constantly worries about her daughter. She used to offer Yuzuki words of wisdom on finding happiness in her life. She is also very protective of Yuzuki, as she was skeptical of Tamahiko when he meet her to receive her blessing for him to marry Yuzuki.

## Background

Before Yuzuki was born, her mother gave birth to a daughter who died as an infant due to an infection from a rat bite. This devastated Yuzuki's mother. When she was pregnant with Yuzuki, she prayed at a shrine every day that Yuzuki would be born safely, which did happen.

A family member (who is either her brother or brother-in-law) accumulated many debts. She and her husband worked hard to cover the debts while sending Yuzuki to an all girls school. Eventually, they were nearly destitute until Yuzuki convinced Tamayoshi Shima to buy her for ¥10,000 in order to keep her parents from starving. Her parents tried to stop her from leaving them but were unsuccessful and Yuzuki requested they think of her as dead, as they may never see her ever again. According to her husband, Yuzuki's mother was the most heartbroken.

## Plot

### *Taisho Otome Fairy Tale*

Three years after Yuzuki left, Yuzuki learned her mother was heavily pregnant with her third child. This was used as blackmail by Tamayo Shima to get Yuzuki to leave Tamahiko Shima or else her mother and the baby would be harmed.

Yuzuki's mother is walking through a snowstorm to pray for a safe delivery despite warnings from her husband that walking in the snow is dangerous for her and the baby. They then return to their house to find Yuzuki and Tamahiko waiting for them, and they share a joyous reunion with their daughter. Yuzuki's mother is a little hostile towards Tamahiko, as his father bought her daughter. She spills hot tea on his hand and refuses to show her face to him. When he announces his intention to marry Yuzuki because he loves her and he requests to adopt the Tachibana name as proof he severed ties with the Shima family, she is skeptical. He explains what his older sister did to Yuzuki and her parents, and admits he told Yuzuki her parents didn't matter so that he could get her to come back to him. Her mother laughs and says she understands his actions, as she would've done the same thing. She tells Yuzuki to cherish Tamahiko as mother and daughter embrace.

The next morning, the four discuss their next move; Yuzuki's parents expect Yuzuki and Tamahiko to stay with them but Tamahiko says they can't and will move to Kobe. He invites her parents to their wedding ceremony and promises he and Yuzuki will visit them. Shortly after, Yuzuki's mother gave birth to a son named Yuya.

A year later, she and her husband attend Yuzuki and Tamahiko's wedding ceremony.
