Kanzi is Bijou‘s mother, and married to Mponyaji.
BOOK 4 – BIJOU‘S CURE: ZEKE
Kanzi fought with the Obayifo twenty years ago and became a ghost. She can give some of her life force to people as a way of healing them. She does this for children.
She haunts the hospital and hangs out with her friend, Mrs. Doe, an elderly woman in the coma ward. She loves terrorizing psychopomps, although she is thinking more kindly of the Grim Reaper, who helped her break into The Man‘s office, where they found a list containing Ember, Musette, and Poppy‘s names.
After Bijou fought the Obayifo and got Kanzi‘s body back, she tried to take physical form again. Bijou used honey from Pohjola to help her mother’s soul stick to her body, but she hasn’t awakened.
