烈子の母
aka Retsuko's Mother
Retsuko looks exactly like her mother, but their opinions on Retsuko's life are very different. The typical cynical mom, she judges everything about Retsuko, from her lack of a romantic relationship to her inability to keep a clean home. Forcing Retsuko into an arranged marriage does nothing but to push Retsuko further away from a functional relationship with her.
