Shiori Mikage

Shiori Mikage (深影 栞) is the older sister of Kyoichiro Mikage and the mother of Natsume Mikage.

Appearance
Shiori greatly resembles her daughter Natsume Mikage, having the same star-laden eyes and black hair.

She typically dresses in black, preferring extravagant lace gowns.

Personality
Shiori is very domineering and strict, not hesitating to order around her daughter Natsume Mikage. However, Shiori also has a surprisingly sweet side which she doesn't hesitate to show to Honoka Takamiya or Komachi Takamiya.

Background
Shiori was in the same class as Kazane Kagari and Komachi Takamiya. As a teenager, Shiori was of fragile health and was picked on until Komachi stood up for her which led to Komachi becoming to new class scapegoat until Kazane arrived. She decided from then on to devote herself to Komachi in order to repay her kindness, including having her daughter specially raised to support Honoka Takamiya and even be a potential wife for him (which was dashed when he became engaged to Ayaka Kagari).

Kyoichiro Mikage
Kyoichiro is Shiori's younger brother.

Natsume Mikage
Natsume is Shiori's daughter.

Ayaka Kagari
Despite being related, Shiori and Ayaka mutually dislike each other where Ayaka dislikes Shiori's interest towards Honoka Takamiya in particular.

Komachi Takamiya
When Shiori was a middle school student, Komachi became her friend and helped her through the bullying she suffered through at school.

Afterwards, she became obsessed with Komachi, going so far as forcing her family members to look out for Komachi and her family.

Honoka Takamiya
Honoka is one of few people Shiori is not intimidating towards and treats him with an almost disproportionate amount of respect (for example: ordering her daughter Natsume Mikage to massage his shoulders). She even seems to possess an attraction towards him.
