Juri Kuran (玖蘭 樹里, Kuran Jūri?) is Yuki's and Kaname's mother and a pureblood vampire whom Yuki is stated to especially resemble. Juri is the wife and sister of Haruka Kuran. It is stated that she has been alive for nearly 3000 years, but retains the appearance of a young woman. Ten years ago when elder brother, Rido Kuran appeared, she sacrificed herself to erase Yuki's memories and sealed away her vampire blood, because she wished for Yuki to be able to live happily like a normal human girl. Kaien Cross states that he is indebted to her, and it is revealed that she spared his life when he attempted to murder her when she was pregnant on the condition that he would establish a school where humans and vampires can co-exist. Her last wish was for Kaname to look after Yuki.
