SAMUS?!
~ Virginia Aran's last words before death

Virginia Aran is a posthumous supporting character who made an appearance in the Metroid Manga. She is the late wife of Rodney Aran and mother of Samus Aran who once lived on colony K-2L long before she was killed in a Space Pirate raid.

Biography[]

The Galactic Federation was founded in the cosmic year 2000, with the human colony K-2L mining the afloraltite require to establish a caravan between planets. Virginia lived a peaceful life with Rodney and her toddler daughter Samus. She is a housewife who stays at home most of the time, but she has been known to visit her working husband on some occasions to bring him lunch.

After the Chozo left K-2L, the colony suddenly falls under attack by Space Pirates and as the chaos intensified, she finds Samus about to be slain by Ridley and managed to create a diversion that allowed to escape unharmed, but Virginia herself loses her life after being struck down by Ridley's plasma breath.

Since then, Virginia has only been referenced in flashbacks and merely being mentioned a few times. One notable instance was when Samus, now a young woman, was trying to save the Chozo on Zebes from the Space Pirates and encounters Ridley for the first time since childhood and Ridley in turn recognized her, as he goes on insulting her and about how he had to eat the corpses of the deceased colonists while he was trapped on K-2L as her father destroyed his vessel. He then taunts her that one of the corpses that he had eaten might have been her mother. When Samus was having a PTSD episode in the form of hallucinations, she envisioned Ridley crushing the heads of both her parents.

Virginia has made canonical appearances in the Japanese version of the Metroid Fusion Gallery, where she was depicted protecting Samus from Ridley and the Space Pirates. All versions of the Metroid: Zero Mission Gallery feature the Fusion Gallery.
