The Story So Far

It is rumored that Kaname's parents, two rare pureblood vampires, comitted suicide several years ago leaving a young Kaname an orphan. The suicide rumor is spread and maintained by the vampire council of elders; however, many night class members refuse to believe this. Throughout the entire ordeal Kaname maintains that his parents were murdered and that they did not commit suicide.

When Yuuki awakens in chapter 35 we finally learn the truth behind the death of Kaname's parents in a flashback of Yuuki's memories from ten years ago. Juri and Haruka are revealed as the parents of two childen, Kaname and Yuuki. While Kaname is allowed out into vampire society, Yuuki is closely guarded by her parents, and even her very existance is not announced. It is also revealed that Haruka and Juri are actually brother and sister; however, marriage between pureblood siblings is common in order to maintain the bloodline.

Shortly after Kaname arrives back at home, Yuuki says that she feels an awful presence and sees eyes staring at her. Haruka and Juri are then shown outside yelling down at Rido, their brother who says he has come to steal their princess. Juri yells that she will never let him take her child away again. Back inside the children can smell the blood of their father, Haruka, and Juri quickly enters the room. Juri kisses Kaname and tells him to take care of Yuuki. Juri then takes a protesting and tearful Yuuki into another room. Using her pureblood powers, Juri seals the vampire side of Yuuki and turns her into a human. This is Juri's final act, because in turning Yuuki into a human she is sacrificed.

After Yuuki awakens the Chairman is seens staring at a picture of himself and Juri. In a former chapter he had also mentioned that he would "make that woman's dream come true" and a flashback of Juri is shown. The full relationship between Juri and the Chairman is not yet known, but from this we can interpret that Juri wanted peace between humans and vampires since that is now the Chairman's mission.

Name

The kanji and hiragana for her first name (as shown in the image) directly translate to Juri; however Juuri is also an acceptable translation. I do not know (and have not been able to find) the meaning of the name Juri. If anyone knows, please let me know. Kuran means nine orchids.
