Iono, Sephiroth never gave off the vibe that he was under Jenova's control. He gave more of a vibe that he was just loyally serving his mother. Cloud on the other hand showed obvious signs of being manipulated and amnesia.

That might be because Sephiroth's exposure to Jenova cells is way higher than Cloud. Cloud still has whoever he was pre-exposure floating around in his head. Sephiroth doesn't because of Hojo and his mad scientist BS.

His 'mother' = Jenova

His mother, Jenova, was never a member of the Cetra. She's a shapeshifting alien, like Lavos (from Chrono Trigger) or the monster from the John Carpenter's The Thing. (supposedly one of the inspirations for her character, including her boss sprite).

For reference look at this iconic scene of this dog exploding into a tentacle monster:

His 'mother,' Jenova, tries to infiltrate the Cetra and overcome them through subterfuge. But they eventually see through her and kick her out, freezing it in a glacier somewhere for Hojo to discover 1000 years later or something.

His 'mother' exists only as the Jenova cells in his body, but by the time he starts to crack during the Niebelheim incident, Jenova's already driving him around like a sock puppet, telling him lies about his heritage (he ain't no Ancient; she's lying) and encouraging him to find the Black Materia the Ancients took from her and use it to 'reclaim' the Earth from the usurpers (the actual Ancients and later their descendants, modern humanity). Sephiroth kind of never had a chance.
