Yukiyo Misaki

Kirika or Yukiyo Misaki is Mei's mother and the owner of the doll store, Misaki M. She is also the person who makes the dolls upstairs while the store itself is downstairs.

Appearance
Kirika has the appearance of a young woman with long dark brown hair which is placed in a blue ribbon at the back of her head. She has brown eyes and wears a white and blue shirt with a band, with a green shirt underneath. She wears black, three-quarter pants with orange shoes.

Personality
According to Mei, her mother doesn't really care about her or what she does, and says she just treats her like any other one of her dolls. She's described as a "strange woman who isolates herself in the studio upstairs."

Plot
Kirika is only mentioned by Mei once before she was actually seen. She is only seen briefly though, watching Kouichi as he was about to enter the store before she retreated to her studio upstairs. She also appears when Kouichi and Mei were talking and just says a few things before going back to what she was doing.
