Yuriko Takagi

Yuriko Takagi is Saya's mother and the wife of Souichiro Takagi. It is indicated by Saya that Yuriko is also a genius, and she is where Saya gets her intelligence from.

About
Yuriko was once a Wall Street stockbroker, and she later married Souichiro Takagi after she was impressed with his charisma and political skills. She acquired a large fortune while trading stocks, and thanks to her business connections, the Takagi family fortune rised significantly when she married Souichiro. She is very faithful to her husband and loves her daughter very much. She is also very skilled with guns, since she had training to protect herself from muggers in New York.

Appearance
Yuriko has long, light purple hair and eyes of matching color. She wears her hair down and has it much shorter in the front and pushed to either side of her face. She has a slender figure and dresses in a style which resembles the typical aristocratic attire which consists of a thin red dress, a white cloth wrapped around her arms and mid to lower body, and a silver necklace with a small charm on the front.

History
Before meeting and marrying Souichiro, Yuriko was a highly successful stockbroker on Wall Street. On her way home from an overseas vactation, she met Souichiro at a party, and the two got married the next day. Since then she has used her financial talent to substantially increase the Takagi fortune.

Personality
Yuriko is a genius, like Saya, but unlike her daughter she is calm and reserved rather than loud and arrogant. She is extremely loyal and slightly submissive to her husband Souichiro, and she tends to stand back silently while he interacts with others; even when he was trying to take the guns away from Kohta. She loves Saya very much and will do whatever she can to ensure her daughter gets what is best for her; even if that means staying behind and potentially sacrificing herself so that Saya and the others can escape.
