Shion Kozakura

Shion Kozakura (小桜 紫苑 Kozakura Shion) / Shion (シオン) is a 1/2 Medusa. She was the mother of Marry and the daughter of Azami and Tsukihiko. She protected her daughter from humans, but at the cost of her own life.

Appearance

 * Shion was a young woman who had the same red eyes and long white hair as Marry, though unlike her, her forehead was not covered by her fringe. She is shown having a red rose at the left side of her hair. She was also seen wearing a red dress with a brown shawl draped around her.

Personality

 * Shion was a loving mother who doted on her daughter Marry. She lived with Marry in the forest and did not allow Marry to go outside, always reminding her not to look into anyone's eyes, or they would be turned into stone. Out of love for Marry, she sacrificed her life to save her daughter from two humans who were threatening to kidnap her to make money out of her. Shion tried to turn both of them into stone, but after managing to turn only one into stone, she was killed by the other, as he hit her on the head with some sort of blunt, wooden object.

Eye Ability

 * Locking Eyes (目を合わせる Me wo Awaseru): Shion has an ability which allows her to temporarily stop the movement of whoever meets her gaze. Marry also inherited this power from her. Unlike her daughter, she was able to turn people into stone, but it would cause too much of a strain to her body for her to make use of it.
