Ryou has two sides to her personality. On one side, She can be a loving mother who cares deeply about her daughters, she even takes pity on people whom she never met before, seen by how she demanded that she takes Shizune as her daughter as a result of her father abandoning her. On the other, She can be cruel when it comes to business matters as seen when she tortures and humilates Akari, blaming her for her uncle's death and regarding her as an enemy.
