Ragyō Kiryūin

Ragyō Kiryūin (鬼龍院 羅暁) is the mother of Satsuki Kiryūin and Ryūko Matoi. She is the CEO of the Revocs Corporation, as well as the chair of Honnōji Academy's board of directors. From Episode 17 onwards, she is the main antagonists of Kill la Kill.

Appearance
Ragyō's most prominent feature is her resplendent multicolored hair, with a silver color on top. She has a very attractive and authoritarian appearance, and is at all times flaunting glamorous dresses. She seems to be quite tall as well.

She has seven star shaped scars on her back that greatly resemble the ones emblazoned in Goku Uniforms possibly because of her being fused with life fibers leaving those seven scars.

Personality
Ragyō is a character bathed in luxury, and it shows in her overall presentation and attitude. She is vain and proud, and boasts her power and status abundantly. According to Rei Hōōmaru, her character and morals are at the very least questionable.

She is also shown to be quite sadistic as she attacked Satsuki without mercy and even smiling while delivering powerful blows.

Satsuki Kiryūin
She is Ragyō's eldest daughter, and they share a complicated relationship. Ragyō exposed Satsuki to Life Fibers in an experiment to attempt to lower the infant's resistance to them. When the experiment showed that Satsuki could not overcome her body's natural resistance to fibers, Ragyō decided instead to use Satsuki as a tool for COVERS. Ragyō also is shown to molest her daughter on multiple occasions and most likely has done so for some time.

Ryūko Matoi
She is Ragyō's younger daughter who was presumed dead after a supposedly failed experiment that involved fusing Ryūko's body with Life Fibers. It was found out that the experiment did not quite fail, and as a result Ryuko's body is completely merged with Life Fibers.

Nui Harime
Nui assists Ragyō with her plan, although she says that she does what she wants on her own whim. She seems to be on friendly terms with Ragyō.

Powers & Abilities

 * Life Fibers
 * Superhuman Strength and Regeneration - Ragyō's physiology has been enhanced with Life Fibers. Because of this, she has incredible durability, healing capabilities, as well as superhuman strength, enough to physically overpower a Kamui-wearing opponent. Due to the power of Life Fibers dwelling inside of her body, her entire being cannot be slain as long as one thread remains uncut.
 * Seishin Karinui (精神仮縫い, Mind Basting) - By sewing Life Fibers known as Marionette Threads into the brains of the victim/s, Ragyō can bend anyone to do her bidding. An exception to this power is Matoi Ryūko due to that fact that she has been able to resist Ragyō's control, possibly because Matoi herself has Life Fibers implanted into her body.
 * Kamui Junketsu (神衣純潔)
 * Life Fiber Override (人衣圧倒) - After donning Junketsu, Ragyō is able to activate Life Fiber Override, transforming the Kamui into a variation of Satsuki's Life Fiber Override form and increasing Ragyō's strength exponentionally. Unlike her daughter Satsuki, Ragyō is able to draw out the Kamui's full power, as she herself is a being who's merged with the Life Fibers. With the full power of Junketsu, Ragyō was able to easily move behind Ryūko, stab her through her chest with her bare hand and pull out her heart (despite Ryūko using True Life Fiber Synchronise at the time).

Ragyō has consistently shown the ability to bend rays of light themselves around her body, causing her to constantly emit bright waves of multi-colored light from her body at all times. Though this might only be used for effect, other characters show reactions to this. Most notably, Rei Hōōmaru always puts on sunglasses whenever Ragyō makes an entrance.
