This article's name is an unofficial translation from official Japanese media.

Virginia Aran was the mother of Samus Aran, and the wife of Rodney Aran, Samus's father. Her death came when the Space Pirates invaded K-2L when Samus was three years old. The diversion she created bought Samus just enough time to run away. Virginia herself was killed by Ridley's plasma breath. Later, in Volume 2 of the manga, Ridley angrily insults Samus by telling her that he had to eat the corpses of the dead colonists to survive while stranded on K-2L (since her father destroyed his vessel), and taunts her by claiming that Virginia was among those he ate.

Virginia was seen only in the Metroid manga, and art within the Japanese version of Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Zero Mission (all versions, includes Fusion's art). An unnamed woman that may have been Samus's mother was also seen in a flashback in Nintendo Power's Super Metroid comic which told Samus's backstory for the first time.
