Sariphi's Adoptive Mother

She is known to be the biological mother of Maria Kleinoel and the adopted mother of Sariphi. Little is known about her since she only appears during a single flashback in the story.

Appearance
Sariphi describes her as having "heartless, frigid eyes".

Personality
Little is known about her personality, since she only appears briefly during a single flashback. It is implied that she cares deeply for her biological daughter, Maria, and would do anything to protect her at any cost.

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 talked about the next human sacrifice. They were both worried that the next human sacrifice would come from their town, but they were relieved that they were 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. It is also unknown how they treated her after that night. However, it is implied that they never treated her like a true member of their family afterwards.

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

Sariphi reveals to Leonhart 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. After she found out that she was a sacrifice, Sariphi never trusted her adoptive mother again, and their relationship was never the same.

Quotes
"So the next sacrifice really will come from this village..."
