Cloud's mother

Cloud's Mother is a minor character in Final Fantasy VII. She is Cloud Strife's mother. She appears only once, during Cloud's flashback to the Nibelheim Incident. Being Cloud's mother, she looks a lot like him, with the same hair style and color only with an added ponytail. Cloud describes her as "vibrant".

Cloud's mother raised him all alone, since his father died when Cloud was very young. When Cloud goes off to join SOLDIER, she is left all alone in her house in Nibelheim. When Cloud returned to Nibelheim with Sephiroth in the fateful mission, Cloud met with his mother. She worried about him, especially around the girls. Cloud's memory fails about the rest of the conversation, which turns out to be his last meeting with his mother. She is killed by Sephiroth when he goes crazy and destroys the town.
