Thank-You Woman

The Thank-You Woman is Runa Urumi's mother, whose name is never given in the series. She is murdered by Satsuki Uruma in the same chapter she debuts in, File 11. Her nickname of "thank-you woman" is given by Sorawo in reference to her file containing Toriko's photo, which was labeled "THANK YOU".

Appearance
The Thank-You Woman was described as having a resemblance to Runa. She was in her late forties, has a shrill voice, oily hair, and the scent of an odd, powerful incense. She wore a frayed sweater, wrinkled skirt, and sandals. She had a black bag that she carried several documents relating to the occult in.

Personality
The Thank You Woman was religious and occult fanatic, as shown by her carrying several files on the subject, and doing significant research for Runa into the Otherside. According to Runa, she has always been this way, even to the expense of her daughter, her husband, or their financial situation. She is also prone to raving, such as when she exclaimed while meeting Sorawo and Toriko for the first time in public. She had knowledge of superstitious gestures that are meant to protect against evil, and believed them to be sufficient in warding off Sorawo and later, Satsuki. She was also protective of her daughter and would prioritize keeping Runa safe against perceived threats over and would disobey direct orders from Runa, as well as give up her life to do so.

Background
Not much is known about the Thank-You Woman's life, other than that it was apparently an unhappy one in regards to her marriage and relationship with her daughter and financially. After she is affected by Runa's Voice, she researches the Otherside at Runa's behest.

Sorawo Kamikoshi
When first meeting Sorawo, the Thank-You Woman began rambling and put up a hand sign that was meant to ward against evil. She believed Sorawo to have the evil eye, and accused Sorawo of being a "vile brat" and "Satan."

Toriko Nishina
In contrast to Sorawo the Thank-You Woman believed Toriko and her hand to be a benevolent entity, going as far as to look for her after just seeing a photo of her posted online, and carrying that photo with her everywhere.

Runa Urumi
The Thank-You Woman was Runa's mother. According to Runa, the Thank-You Woman was a bad mother and the reason for their money problems, as well as what happened to Runa's dad. While under the control of Runa's Voice, she did significant research into the Otherside and was the one to discover that they could read Satsuki's journal there without the aid of Sorawo's eye. Despite this apparent dislike of her mother and being made into her servant, Runa still defended her mother when Sorawo called her a headcase. While in the Otherside, the Thank-You Woman bought time against Satsuki at the cost of her life. This final act played a large part in how Runa comes to no longer put Satsuki on a pedestal, as well as why she's so conflicted over her mother's passing.

Satsuki Uruma
While the Thank-You Woman aided Runa in her wish to meet with Satsuki, the Thank-You Woman saw Satsuki as a corrupting influence. She called her similar things to what she called Sorawo, and attempted to defeat Satsuki by reading from Satsuki's journal. When that failed, she thrust out a warding hand sign and was then killed, before warning Runa to flee.
