Coco's mother is a middle-aged woman who owns her own tailoring shop in a village in the Naakiwan Downs. She raised Coco and managed her business by herself after her husband died from illness. She is currently a stone statue because of the effects of forbidden magic that Coco drew from the mysterious Magic Book she once received from the Brimmed Cap Iguin when Coco was a little girl.

Appearance

Coco's mother has long black hair. We see it set up in a ponytail along with flowing hair ribbons. She is shown to be wearing a floor-length black dress with a swirled trim along the hem, and a long white overcoat tied at the waist with a broad length of fabric. The sleeves are long and puffed up along the upper arms, with a circular design by each shoulder.

In the anime trailer, she is seen in her attire from when Coco was a little girl. In this outfit, her dress is white and simplified. She wears a beige-brown overcoat with sleeves rolled-up to her elbows.

Personality

Not much is seen of Coco's mother, but we can determine that she's hard-working. She's a caring mother towards Coco, but also a realist who makes sure Coco's imagination doesn't take her too far. She also expressed concern that Coco would leave her, and that she would be all alone.

History

Since potentially before Coco was born, her mother has worked as a tailor, operating out of their home in a small village just outside the Naakiwan Downs. After her husband died due to illness, she had to raise her daughter alone. The village they live in seems to be small, with Coco's mother knowing the village children. When Coco was younger, she took her to a festival at the local castle, which is where Coco first came across the magic book.

Introduction Arc

After Coco tries out some spells from the mysterious Magic Book, she uses a forbidden spell, right before Qifrey pulls her out of her bedroom. This spell sets off sparking lights, and when Coco's mother steps outside the door, crystal-shaped stones erupt around her and engulf her and the entire house. She is left as a statue, her lantern still raised high. Afterwards, Qifrey spreads Guard Briar seeds around the house, so that the thorned branches will prevent any curious visitors from getting caught up in the spell.

Relationships

Coco

Coco's mother is very close with Coco. She raised her alone after her husband died. Because of his death, she's scared that Coco will one day leave her too. This is seen after Qifrey leaves the tailoring shop. She was scared Coco would rather go with Qifrey, because of her love for magic, than stay at the tailoring shop and help her mom out. However, Coco told her that she could never leave her all alone, showing how much she cares for her mother. Upon reaching Qifrey's atelier, Coco cried, realizing that she had broken her promise, showing how much her mother meant to her. It has been hinted that Coco's mother doesn't like her daughter discussing how she wishes she could use magic.
