About me:
Juri Kuran was Kaname and Yuki's mother and a Pureblood vampire who resembles an older version of Yuki. She was the beloved wife and sister of Haruka Kuran and the younger sister of Rido Kuran. Juri had the typical features of the Kurans and the ethereal beauty of the Purebloods. She was the spitting image of her daughter, Yuki, as she had the same eyes and long dark brown hair, typical of a Kuran, though her hair was curlier and messier than her daughter's. Her hair was also a richer, darker brown than Yuki's. Juri was described as a cheerful and strong woman who puts her family first. She was mischievous and playful and enjoyed teasing Kaname. Even though Juri and Yuki had the same appearance, they have very different personalities. Juri was blunt, easily irritated by Haruka and sometimes loud and fierce when she lost her temper. She was very passionate about things that mattered to her as she fiercely objected to Kaien's plan to kill all vampires, declaring that not all vampires were bad and physically opposed him. She was described by Isaya Shoto and Kaien Cross as like the very blaze of the sun. Outspoken and high spirited, Juri was dedicated to her dreams of a peaceful existence with humans. Born over 3000 years ago, she was the sister and wife of Haruka Kuran and the younger sister of Rido Kuran. They had two children: Kaname and Yuki; the former later being sacrificed to reawaken the Kuran Family ancestor, who was also named Kaname Kuran. Ten years ago, her eldest brother, Rido Kuran trespassed into the Kuran Mansion and wanted Yuki for his own gain. To protect her daughter, she sacrificed her life to suppress Yuki's vampire side and erased her memories. She had wanted Yuki to be able to live a happy normal human girl life. Her last wish was for Kaname to protect Yuki. Headmaster Kaien Cross states that he is in debt to her so he decided to adopt Yuki for her sake of protection. Juri possessed all the powers that Purebloods have, such as immortality and the ability to heal from anything excluding anti-vampire weapon wounds to the heart or head. Juri excelled in spells. This is further shown as she was the one to seal away Yuki's vampire side and turn her daughter into a human. Juri also had the ability to wield anti-vampire weapons and used the Artemis in its scythe form. She wished to pass this power on to Yuki before sacrificing her life. Juri used the Artemis rod, which she could transform into a scythe. This ability was thought to have been passed on to her daughter, Yuki.
