Old Woman

thumb|Cerasus plantation core The scene in her residence in Episode 10 offers some insight on the immortal Adults who dwell in the inner city. She is kind to Zorome and treats him with some deference as a pilot, but keeps herself detached throughout their interaction - forcibly so at a couple of points. Some powerful connection between the two characters apparently existed but is never explained following this episode. The woman seems to be too debauched to gain any fulfillment from ordinary things like eating or having human relationships. She has the technologies at-hand to overload her brain's reward system, and it's learned in Episode 19 that the immortality treatment has rendered her sterile. She cannot follow the thread of Zorome's sentiments about his partner, Miku.

She's a slender, elderly woman who usually wears a white headdress like other Adults. When at home, she wears white tights. Her heart appears to be a replaceable externally-mounted device. The orange heart, orange disinfectant spray, and orange patch she administers to Zorome suggest complete physical reliance on magma energy. She removes the all-concealing headdress when Zorome pleads for the chance to talk with her, an adult; she is seen to have a round face, platinum-blonde hair tied in a ponytail, thin eyebrows and a gentle smile. Her purple eyes are mysteriously similar to Zorome's. Zorome is instantly drawn to the woman.
