History
Sariphi's adoptive mother and father adopted her long before the story started. Sariphi has no memories of being adopted by them, so it can be assumed that she was adopted as a baby, though this is never confirmed in the story.

Late on a stormy night when Sariphi was young, Sariphi's adoptive mother and father talk about the next human sacrifice. They are both worried that the next human sacrifice will come from their town, but they are relieved that they are able to offer up Sariphi as a sacrifice instead of their biological daughter. They were surprised to find out that Sariphi overheard them talking.

It is unknown how they treated Sariphi before this night. However, her genuine surprise and sadness in finding out she was a sacrifice and the fact that she describes them as "the people who had been [her] parents" implies that, up until that night, they treated her like a normal part of their family.

Plot
Sariphi's adoptive mother appears only in flashbacks during the story.

In Chapter 1, Sariphi reveals that she once overheard her adoptive parents talking about offering her as the next human sacrifice. After that night, she always felt that they looked at her with cold frigid eyes.

Sariphi
It's unknown what kind of relationship she had with Sariphi when she was a very young child, though it's implied that they had a good relationship until Sariphi found out that she was a sacrifice.
