Suu's Mother is a female Undine, who is more or less the Mother of Suu since she created Suu, probably somehow with her elementary water abilities. She makes her debut in Chapter 67, although in that chapter she only has a minor role as one of Yukio's friends, before being officially introduced later in Chapter 81 along with her relationship with Suu.
She is currently in a business relationship with Mr President, including being instrumental in the construction of the Black Lily Waterpark.
Appearance[]
Suu's mother is a buxom woman with large breasts and even wider hips. As an Undine she has long, tentacle-like hair that reaches from her back to her feet. In general appearance, she is more or less not dissimilar to a Slime overall, with the exception of her crisp human-like skin. According to her secret pages, however, her entire body and clothing are made of water, which also means that she is technically completely naked.
For her debut at the Arctic Inn, she wore a long-sleeved figure-hugging dress with a mandarin collar that leaves the shoulders exposed as well as a pair of shoes. In Chapter 81, she wears a onepiece suit of similar design with long sleeves that tapers off from the waist down between the cleavage of her butt which leaves her buttocks naked. She also wears long, dark pantyhose that completely cover her feet. During her stay at the Black Lily Waterpark, she also wears a kind of sombrero on her head, which, however, is just a replica made of water and foam and not a real hat.
Personality[]
Suu's mother is a very kind and polite person. As it can be seen in Chapter 67, she is very helpful when she actively supports Yukio in temporarily transform the entire bathhouse of the Arctic Inn into a premium sauna together with the Salamander woman.
Suu's mother cares about her family. She considers her Slimes as to be her "daughters", although she admits that this formulation is not precise, but there is no better way to express it. She's also willing to openly admit her mistakes and take responsibility for her daughters' mistakes, although she does point out when a mistake isn't entirely her fault, as seen in her conversation with Mr President. She expresses herself very eloquently and in detail.
While Suu's mother is very polite, she doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Suu. She is disappointed that despite the long time she has lived with Kimihito, Suu has not yet bred with him to reproduce, which is the real reason why she sent her daughter to Japan back then. This shows that Suu's mother has certain demands on her daughters but unlike Meroune's Mother, she doesn't always seem to be dominant in arguments with her daughter as Suu seems to be partly intimidated but also embarrassed by her. Suu's mother was taken by surprise when Suu covered her mouth, showing that she may not be used to her "daughters" contradicting her.
Skills & Traits[]
Personal Traits[]
- Possibly wealthy: When Suu's mother entered into a business relationship with Mr President, she told him that she would pay for the construction of the Water Park "whatever it cost", implying that she may be wealthy or financially independent.
Physical Traits[]
- Undine Physiology:
- Hydrokinesis: As elemental Liminals of water, Undines can control water at will or create it physically infinite. This allows Suu's Mother to reduce the water bill of the Black Lily Waterpark to zero, as it makes the park independent of any outside water source.
- Walking on Water: As Suu's Mother shows in Chapter 81, Undines can walk on water without sinking.
- Steam Generation: When a Undine's water abilities combine with a Salamander's fire abilities, they create a warm water vapor that can temporarily transform an entire bathhouse into a giant sauna as seen in Chapter 67.
- Hydrokinesis: As elemental Liminals of water, Undines can control water at will or create it physically infinite. This allows Suu's Mother to reduce the water bill of the Black Lily Waterpark to zero, as it makes the park independent of any outside water source.
- Creating Slimes: Undines can create Slimes, making them the ancestors of the Slime species. However, the exact process by which Undines can do this is unknown, although Suu's Mother implies that this is not done through a biological reproduction, so a Slime can only be considered more or less as the child of the Undine who created it.
- Telepathy: As Suu's mother explains to Kimihito and Mr President, an Undine seems to have some kind of telepathic connection to her Slimes, as her second daughter tried transmitting her knowledge and skills to her mother.
- Body made of Water: According to her secret pages, the whole body of Suu's mother and her clothes are made of water.
History[]
Not much is known about the past of Suu's mother, but she lives outside of Japan and seems to have been a good friend of Yukio for a long time. At some point before the events of the series, she created at least two Slime girls (one of whom was Suu) who she considered her family. Eventually, Suu's mother sent her "daughters" to Japan in order to create a place where they could live with their mother, although Suu's mother believed that in order to do so they should also have to reproduce to "increase their numbers". It is unknown how Suu's mother sent her daughters to Japan, but in both Chapter 9 and 10, Kimihito, Miia, Centorea and Ms Smith discussed that Suu may have immigrated illegally, so it is possible that Suu's mother smuggled their daughters into the country.
Sometime before Chapter 81, Suu's mother learned that Suu was living with Kimihito as a homestay girl, but she was disappointed that Suu had not yet bred with him despite the long time she had already lived under the same roof with Kimihito. This leads to an embarrassed Suu covering her mother's mouth to stop her from embarrassing her and pulling her away before things became any more awkward.
Plot[]
Helping Yukio at the Arctic Inn[]
Suu's mother and the Salamander woman at the Arctic Inn.
Suu's mother makes her debut in the manga series in Chapter 67, but she doesn't play a major role in this chapter. At Yukio's request, Suu's mother and Yukio's Salamander friend visited the Arctic Inn, where the two combined their elemental water and fire powers to create steam that they used to transform the entire bathhouse into a giant sauna as a special service for the guests. Later, Suu's mother was seen in the ice bath created by Yukio and having a friendly conversation with a male human guest, while Yukio chatted with Kimihito and his homestay girls.
However, due to the minimal interaction between Suu's mother and the protagonists, they didn't learn about the Undine's connection to Suu at this point.[2]
Business relations with Mr President and construction of the Black Lily Waterpark[]
Suu's mother enters into a business partnership with Mr President.
Suu's mother eventually moved to Japan and contacted the Black Lily Innovations Research Laboratory because she wanted them to make a place for her as an Undine during her stay in Japan, since the Japanese Government doesn't care much about the individual needs of Elite Liminals. Suu's mother also assured Mr President that she would pay for this project whatever it would cost. Since Mr President was pleased with this proposal, they took a bit of their resort project that was already under construction and changed things around into a specialized clean pool fit for an Undine to utilize: the Black Lily Waterpark.
Suu's mother was instrumental in the construction of the water par because, as an Undine, she has the ability to create infinity water, which reduced the park's water bill to zero. Mr President also used a Slime girl for the water park's filtration system, although he didn't know that this Slime girl was the second daughter of Suu's mother.[3]
Final pre-opening test of the waterpark[]
After the waterpark was almost finished, Mr President decided to opened it, but since he thought it was always good to have more feedback, he invited Kimihito and his homestay girls (except Lala and Rachnera) for a "free trip". Kimihito wasn't too thrilled when he learned the true reason of the visit, and also expressed concern when Mr President told him about the concept of the waterpark to use the relatively unexplored elementary abilities of an Elite Liminal in combination with modern technologies. As the two discussed the topic, Suu expressed discomfort when she saw that her mother was also present at the waterpark, although neither Mr President nor Kimihito noticed this.
Suddenly, however, there were unrest when a raging current suddenly formed in the "Lazy River" of the Waterpark. While Mero's intervention prevented all of the bathers from being injured, Kimihito noticed Suu's mother floating above the raging water, causing him to fear that she was responsible for the trouble. However, this turned out to be false as it turned out that the current was actually caused by the filtrations Slime girl, who was trying to transmit her knowledge and skills to her mother. However, with Suu's intervention, the situation was resolved and Suu led her guilty-looking sister to their mother.
Suu talks to her mother.
Suu proudly announced to her mother that she was the one who fixed everything, but when her mother didn't respond and just looked at her daughter intently, Suu also sat down uncertainly on the floor next to her sister. Kimihito and Mr President viewed the situation with confusion because they did not yet know that the Undine was Suu's mother and therefore did not understand why Suu behaved like that toward a supposed stranger.[3]
Kimihito and Mr President learn the truth[]
Suu's mother approached Kimihito and Mr President by walking across the surface of the lazy river. She apologized to Mr President for the trouble her Slimes had caused and added that as their progenitor she had to accept some blame for her lack of forethought. While Kimihito was still confused as to what the Undine meant by "her slimes" and "progenitor", Suu's mother turned to Mr President and chided him, adding that he also bore some of the blame for not informing her in advice, that he used the Slime girl in the waterpark for the filtration system.
Mr President apologized for his lack of tact, but he also asked what relationship there was between her and the Slime employed here. Suu's mother admitted that she had to explain it, whereupon she revealed to Mr President and Kimihito that Suu and the other Slime girl were more or less her "daughters". Taken aback and unsure, Kimihito asks the Undine if this means that she is Suu's mother, to which she vaguely replies that the "particulars differs slightly", although there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate expression for it.
Kimihito is surprised to learn that the Undine is Suu's mother.
Suu's mother turns to Mr President and says that she thinks that her "daughters" require some supplementary education. However, Kimihito then intervenes in the conversation and asks Suu's mother why Suu also needs a lecture, since he doesn't understand what she is supposed to have done wrong. With a sigh, Suu's mother then explain to Kimihito and Mr President that the reason she sent her daughters to Japan was to create a place where they could belong. However, she insists that they must produce for this and so far, Suu has not increased their number at all.
Suu covers her mother's mouth.
Confused, Kimihito asks what she means, whereupon Suu's mother replies why Suu hasn't bred with Kimihito yet, although he is such a "fine partner". Before she can finish her sentence, however, Suu, annoyed and embarrassed, cover's her mother's mouth. Outraged by the rudeness of her daughter, Suu's mother complains to her, but Suu doesn't listen and leads her mother away from Kimihito to prevent another unpleasant situation from occurring. Kimihito and Mr President look at each other perplexed, not knowing what to say about this matter. A short time later, Kimihito and his homestay girls leave the Black Lily Waterpark and go home.[3]
Zoological Classification[]
Undines are a Liminal species of elemental spiritual beings associated with water. Also known as "water nymphs", Undines are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls and have beautiful singing voices.
Undines are considered one of four Liminal species that embody the cardinal elements; alongside the Sylph (Air), Salamanders (Fire), and Gnomes (Earth). Undines are revealed to be able to create Slimes which are a completely different species of Liminal girls but the method is still a mystery.
Trivia[]
- Suu's mother is the only known mother of one of Kimihito's homestay girls who is not of the same Liminal species as her daughter. According to the suggestion that the creation of a Slime by a Undine is not a biological process, with Suu's mother even admitting to Kimihito that that the formulation that she is Suu's mother is "not precise, but there is also no better way to express it", it could even be noted that she and Suu are not related at all, although the two still see each other as mother and daughter.
- Just like all previous mothers of Kimihito's other homestay girls, Suu's mother has not been given an official name, presumably because in the context of the manga series they are only relevant as "the mothers". However, this also leads to a some strange situation in Chapter 81 because, due to the lack of a name, Mr President can only address Suu's mother as "Ms Undine", even though he should actually know her real name since she is one of his business partners.
- This is also addressed in her Secret Pages, where she is only referred to as "Undine" and a side note even ecplain that her real name is unknown.
- In Monster Musume Fantastic Life, Suu's mother is also only known as "Undine", although some other characters who where not given official names in the manga series were named in the game.
- She is the only mother to one of Kimihito's homestay girls who was not revealed as such in her debut chapter, as she only had a small role in her first appearance in Chapter 67 before she was properly introduced along with the revelation of her relationship to Suu in Chapter 81.
- She is one of the two mothers of Kimihito's homestay girls who's species is classified as a "Elite Liminal" with the other possibly being Lala's mother.
