Gillian Hewley

Gillian Hewley is a supporting character in the Final Fantasy VII series, with a minor yet important role in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. She is the biological mother of Angeal Hewley and the host of "Project G". Gillian was born in Banora and worked as a researcher for Shinra Electric Power Company's Research and Development department, conducting studies related to the Jenova Project. Rumors suggest she was involved in research to create SOLDIER copies. Later, she collaborated with Hollander, serving as the host for "Project G", and had Jenova cells transplanted into her. Her relationship with Hollander and the Jenova cells led to the birth of Angeal Hewley. Her cells were also injected into Genesis Rhapsodos when he was still a fetus. "Project G" was deemed a failure because the data detected from Angeal and Genesis's births was no different than that of a normal child. Feeling guilt for her involvement in "Project G" and using her son as an experiment, Gillian left Shinra and returned to Banora, refusing compensation from the company, leading to Angeal growing up in poverty. She married a hardworking man who became Angeal's stepfather. He forged the Buster Sword for Angeal, but died soon after his stepson joined SOLDIER. During the Genesis War, she refused to cooperate with Genesis and ultimately committed suicide.
