the rijichou
She is a truly mysterious
figure. Throughout the whole series, and whatever other
manga she appears in (ie. X), her face
is NEVER shown. It is either covered by her fan or maybe
the sun, or even a blind. Not much else is known about her,
except that she is an Imonoyama, and i fully suspect that the
rijichou is Nokoru's mother. Come on, with all of the
scenes of
those two together, there are so many implications of her being
Nokoru's mum, and what about the fan thing, eh? Also, she
seems to like to do things for the fun of it, much like Nokoru.
The relationship between the two is
strange. Nokoru always calls her by 'Rijichou', but there is
affection between one
another. It is most likely that Nokoru grew up with hardly ever
seeing his parents, so when he got into CLAMP School, he
always saw the Rijichou as just that. But as the series comes to
a conclusion, the relationship between the two is tighter and
more parental on her side.
The Rijichou knows everything about
her school. From the tiniest detail, she knows it
all. However, she does not intervene
that much, and this may be because she knows that her son will
soon fix it up if there are any problems. Also, being the
Rijichou of this school, the rule is is that is it run by the
Student Councils, so that means that her work load is even less.
Later in X, we find out that she was
in contact with Kamui's mother before she (Kamui's mother) died
in the fire. A deal was
made between them, whereby the sacred sword would be protected
inside the CLAMP campus, and in the centre of it. The
Rijichou then goes into seclusion and leaves the running of her
school in the hands of her son and two friends.
