Dio Brando's Mother (ディオ・ブランドーの母, Dio Burandō no Haha) is an unnamed posthumous character featured in the first part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Phantom Blood.
She is a mother of Dio Brando who is sent into an early grave by her husband, Dario Brando. Although she is only briefly mentioned in the manga, she plays a major role in the light novel JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN, serving as a major influence on Dio and helping him form his idea of heaven.
Appearance
It is unknown what she looks like, as she isn't present in the manga and her appearance isn't described. When she was alive, she owned a buttoned dress with long sleeves.[1]
Color Schemes
Personality
Dio's mother is described by Dio as a noble, proud, pure and righteous person. Despite her dire circumstances, she lived with pride and would often help those in need, often to her detriment.[2]
She believes in heaven and that to go to heaven one must live nobly and with pride. To those around her, this believe appeared to be quite obsessive and only attracted more mockery.[2]
History
Phantom Blood
Little is known about her. She was a poor woman married to Dario Brando. Dio blames her untimely death on his father for making her suffer and "working her to death,"[1] though he disdained her as well for devoting herself to such a man.[3] The year of her death was between 1867 and 1880.
OVER HEAVEN
Dio's mother seemingly comes from a wealthy family. Later in life, for reasons unknown, she moves into a poor town and marries Dario Brando.
Although her and her family would often suffer from starvation, she would give away the little money or food she has to those in need, such as childen, the elderly, and sometimes animals. These acts of charity unfortunately would only result in mockery, as the residents of the town considered such actions to be foolish. Despite agreeing with them, Dio Brando, being her son, could not stand people making fun of his mother; but whenever he would fight back, she would scold him, saying that he won't go to heaven relying on violence.[2]
To Dio she appeared to be obsessed with the concept of heaven, as she took every oportunity to remind him of it, which earned her a great deal of contempt from her son.[2]
