Bellemere

In her youth she was a renowned trouble maker. While her actions to join the Marines were a shock to all the other villagers, they all cared deeply for her welfare despite the trouble she had always given them. Due to her past, her decision to adopt her daughters led them to fear the children's own welfare. However Bellemere was determined to show she had grown into a mature adult who was capable of such responsibilities.

Bellemere retains some of her mischievous nature, offering to pay Genzo for Nami's thefts "with her body," despite knowing how he reacts. She occasionally acts impulsively, such as when she hits Nami for suggesting that Nojiko is not her real sister, and hits a boy for saying that her tangerines taste bad. She admits that Nojiko is sometimes more mature than she is.
