Shoukun Hyou was the mother of Shuurei, adoptive mother of Seiran, and wife of Shouka. She was known as a legendary beauty with a kind heart to match. She taught Shuurei how to make steamed buns, discovering Shuurei was a much better cook than she was; how to pick tangerines from the trees, and how to behave like a lady. She also gave the name 'Seiran' to the boy she and Shouka found lying in the snow when the family traveled to Kiyou. The name meant 'Silent Orchid', and was given because the boy that they found never said a word and was presumed to be a mute. She grew very close to both Shuurei and Seiran, and encouraged Seiran to smile all the time to make Shuurei happy.
