Midori, mother of protagonist Akane, is a housewife who tends a vibrant garden at their home. This space bursts with profuse flowers and brilliant colors, reflecting her attentive care and standing in stark contrast to Akane's initial inability to perceive beauty due to emotional turmoil. Midori demonstrates nurturing qualities through actions like preparing meals for her daughter. However, Akane's guilt over a school conflict causes her to dismiss these efforts, perceiving her mother's life as unchallenging. This tension surfaces when Midori asks Akane to visit Aunt Chii-chan on an errand, a request Akane resists. Midori's background holds deeper significance: her name, meaning "green," directly connects her to the title "Goddess of the Green Wind" – an identity from another world. The alchemist Hippocrates confirms Midori previously held this role, establishing her as the original goddess. This heritage makes Akane the rightful successor through familial lineage. Though Midori never physically enters the fantasy world, her influence permeates Akane's journey. The anchor necklace given to Akane by Hippocrates symbolizes this connection, initially embodying Midori's legacy before its magical effects fade. Midori's cultivation of their home garden parallels the narrative's life-restoring themes, reinforcing her association with natural vitality. Her encouragement for Akane to visit Chii-chan indirectly initiates the adventure, setting the plot in motion. By the story's conclusion, Akane's transformed perspective allows her to fully appreciate Midori's garden, signifying recognition of her mother's quiet stewardship of beauty and life.
