Jenova was a Calamity that fell from the sky a long, long time ago, and tried to destroy the planet Jenova is an extraterrestrial life-form in the Final Fantasy VII series who serves as a major antagonist, being a central point for the series's story and crisis. This alien has a humanoid feminine form and is said to be the "mother" of Sephiroth. A dormant Jenova appears as a gray-skinned woman shown as blue-skinned in Final Fantasy VII , or only appearing blue through its container in the mako reactor on Mt.
Nibel in other games. Although Jenova appears feminine, its gender is ambiguous, being an extra-terrestrial lifeform. Jenova is known as the "calamity from the skies" in the legends, and in Final Fantasy VII Ifalna refers to Jenova as either "it" or "he" depending on the version of the game. Jenova is bare other than what appears to be an external biological system , with something resembling a heart at its feet. Connected to the heart-like organ are a number of tubes that reach to different parts of the body, the largest of which, pinker in color and similar to an umbilical cord, inserts into its abdomen or in Final Fantasy VII , an apparently empty space in its abdomen.
On its back Jenova has appendages along with what resembles a wing protruding from its left, and a stub of a wing from its right. Jenova has long silver hair parted through the center. Its left eye glows red and it has no right eye, often being covered by hair. Jenova's headgear links to her container and has an inscription that has had a different message between different depictions of the scene.
Above the headgear, an exposed brain lies within Jenova's cranium. As Jenova bears female anatomy, the body has two breasts.
In the original depiction the right breast has what appears to be a nipple resembling an eyeball, but in the remake this is missing. The pubic area is obscured by the tube from the abdomen. The inscription on Jenova's head can be read in a number of its appearances:. The effigy is a presumably man-made metal construct that resembles the torso of an angel that obscures Jenova while the wings cover the side of the container.
