Elizabeth Shirogane is the mother of Shirogane Ryou and wife to Shirogane Jishou. She is a minor character in the Kokoro world, noted mostly for her exaggerated love of flowers.

History

Before Kokoro

Elizabeth was born in America. Her family owned a farm in the New York countryside, and she'd often help out there. In highschool she was introduced to the new Japanese exchange student when he came into her grandfather's flowershop where she worked. This was, ofcourse, Jishou Shirogane.

Though Liz initially thought very little of him, her affection for the redhead quickly grew, and following some pranks, the two gradually became friends. There was a very large episode around Jishou's absense following his proposal, but the two finally got married and had a son - Ryou.

When Ryou was ten, and the Chimera Anima attacked the mansion, Liz was actually thrown out of the building due to an explosion and a little shove on Shou's part. She was eventually found and rushed to the hospital, where her burns were treated. However, as she began to realize all that had happened, Liz fell into a severe depression, too afraid that Ryou might be dead as well. Though Liz did suffer illness, her amnesia was actually faked. The fire was something she didn't want to remember.

Kokoro Days

One of the doctors, Dr. Zachary Andrews, recognized Elizabeth and phoned Ryou. Finally, the two were reunited, and Elizabeth realized her mistake in giving up. (Aside from some nerve damage in her lower back - where she has no feeling, Liz has pretty much returned to normal.)

Personality

Liz is generally a caring individual. She doctors people when they get hurt, and will scold them if they are rude or doing something dangerous. She is also extremely stubborn, and can be quite scary when angered. Because of Jishou's tendency to pull pranks on her, Liz tends to argue with her husband more frequently than she does with anyone else. Most people might not realize it, but she actually relies on Shou a lot, arguments or no. (She's an underground fangirl.)

If you do get on her bad side, a few flowers should be enough to be granted forgiveness.

Liz is the type of person who tries to put the needs of others ahead of her own. She's usually smiling, and an excellent listener when the cafe residents need someone to talk to. Liz can keep a secret from most people. Like Ryou, Elizabeth tends to worry quite a bit, although she does a slightly better job at hiding it.
