Centorea's Mother

Centorea's Mother (セントレアの母親, Sentorea no Hahaoya) is the currently unnamed mother of Centorea Shianus.

Appearance
Centorea's Mother is a rather youthful-looking centauride with fair-skin, yellow hair, horse ears, large breasts and a lower horse-half body. Her hair is tied back in a bun with three locks of hair loose in the front, her left lock is the longest, her right is middle length and the center lock is shortest of the three. Being modest like her daughter, she loves wearing unskimpy garments but her preferred choices are those with long sleeves.

Personality
Like her daughter, Centorea's mother disliked the tradition of breeding with the strongest males. She fell in love with a human male that had been brought to her home as a 'teaser' (a handsome human male that was used to make centaur females willing to mate with the less than attractive male members of their own race) and chose to breed with him over her own kind. This resulted in Centorea's birth.

Skills and Traits

 * Master Jouster: According to information acquired by Smith, her family has been the strongest amongst all centaurs with her being called "Goddess of Jousting".
 * Swordswomanship: She is an expert at wielding dual swords and being on par with her daughter.
 * Centaur Physiology:
 * Breasts: Female Centaurs have large breasts for feeding their young, which are larger than human babies who require more nutrition. As shown in the Omake titled MonsterMilfs, her cup size is K compared to her daughter who is I which must be due to the aftermath of motherhood.
 * Breast Milk: Female Centaurs can lactate and produce a larger amount of milk. However this is rarely seen outside of pregnancy.
 * Taste Buds: As herbivores, Centaurs generally have twice as many taste buds as omnivores (e.g humans), while omnivores have over twenty times as many taste buds as carnivores (e.g Lamias).
 * Body Temperature: Centaurs have a standard body temperature of 38 degrees.
 * Centaur Ears: A Centaur's ears are capable of reflecting the centaur's mood as they are able to move much in the same way as a horse's ears.

Plot
She is introduced when she attempts to enter the Kurusu household to see her daughter, Kimihito and Centorea meet her outside. She thanks Kimihito for looking after her daughter but becomes angry when she finds out that Centorea hasn't found a teaser yet and that she made Kimihito her master. She and Centorea get into a fight to which ends with Centorea challenging her mother to a duel. After some help from Kimihito, Centorea ties with her mother. After the duel Centorea's mother reveals to Centorea that she's half human as Centorea's mother tricked her husband and mated with a human instead of the male Centaur; and that the duel with her daughter was to prove that children of Human and Centaur relationships can be as strong as pure blooded Centaurs and that the current Centaur mating traditions are outdated. Before she leaves she tells Centorea to marry whoever she wants.

Zoological Classification
The Centaur (ケンタウロス族, Kentarosu-zoku) are a demi-human liminal race with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. Herbivores, centaurs are normally found in grasslands and savannas, and are a race of nomads who become brave warriors in times of conflict.

Their civilization is ancient, by far the oldest of all the humanoid races known to mankind. Extremely proud and strong-willed, they differ from the other races in that they consciously suppress their urges during mating season.

Trivia

 * While she was introduced without her her name being introduced, being Centorea's mother, only her surname is known: Shianus.
 * In the Omake of volume 7, it is revealed that her centaur husband (who is not Centorea's biological father) has more than one wife.
