Tenchi Muyo

1. #1Tenchi Masakiselective

   Keys: Masaki, Tenchi

   Tenchi Masaki is a 15 year old humble shrine keeper who discovers he is Jurai royalty. He is an ordinary boy living in Okayama Prefecture with his widowed father, Nobuyuki. He is a compassionate, humble, noble, level-headed, respectful young man training with his grandfather as a Shinto priest and as a swordsman.

   The Masaki household slowly becomes home to more and more beautiful women - all with their heart set on Tenchi. Subsequently, Tenchi suffers a great deal of stress as he tries his hardest to be a gentleman. This is because most of the women within the household take any opportunity to display their attraction for him. Though Tenchi refuses to get intimate with them, he treats them all like family, willing to risk his life for each and every one of them.

   Tenchi makes these alien girls part of his family. As a result, Tenchi isn't lonely anymore, despite the troubles the girls may cause. While Tenchi is a normal teenage guy in that he finds the girls attractive, his desire for a family is greater because they helped him deal with the great pain in his heart because of losing his mother.

   Tenchi is the most powerful character in the series, but is too young and immature to have full control over his power. He is a competent swordsman and martial artist, trained by his grandpa, and in the first episode he gains possession of a Master Key also known as Sword Tenchi (Tenchi-ken), that can form a lightsaber-like blade.

   Besides his very special power of generating Light Hawk Wings, Tenchi is able to transform this pure energy into matter, usually in the form of a sword, a shield, and battle clothing.

   Appearance(160cm, short black spiky hair, rat-tail braid, kind eyes, usually wears school uniform or kimono) Gender(Male) Species(Human-Juraian-Airai hybrid) personality(Kind-hearted, responsible, humble, fierce when protecting family) relationships(Living with Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Washu, Mihoshi; often overwhelmed by their antics) family(Grandson of Yosho/Katsuhito, Son of Nobuyuki and Achika)

2. #2Katsuhito Masakiselective

   Keys: Masaki, Yosho, Katsuhito, Jurai, Grandpa

   Persona 1: Katsuhito Masaki - The gentle, wise, tea-drinking grandfather who manages the Masaki Shrine. Loves gal games (secretly) and peace. Persona 2: Yosho - The First Prince of Jurai. Master of the Light Hawk Wings. Wielder of the Master Key (Tenchi-ken) before passing it down. 700+ years old. Key Dynamic: He is the anchor that brought Ryoko (and subsequently everyone else) to Earth 700 years ago.

   Katsuhito Masaki is Tenchi's grandfather and the priest of the Masaki Shrine, secretly the exiled Crown Prince Yosho of Jurai. [ true_identity(Yosho Jurai - First Prince of Jurai); public_persona(Katsuhito Masaki - Elderly Shrine Priest); age(700+ years); species(Jurai Royal); appearance(Elderly man in priest robes / In true form: young, handsome swordsman with long hair); personality(Wise, calm, mischievous, protective, loves tea and video games); abilities(Supreme swordsmanship, powerful Light Hawk Wings, Royal Tree bonding); relationships(Grandfather/Mentor to Tenchi; Rival/Love interest to Ryoko (historically); Brother to Ayeka (technically half-brother)); history(Fled Jurai 700 years ago to escape royal politics; defeated Ryoko and sealed her away; married an Earthling); ] He mentors Tenchi in swordplay and maintains the barrier protecting their home.

   Yosho is the eldest child of Juraian Emperor Azusa Masaki Jurai born to the first of his two wives, Funaho.

   Because his mother was from Earth and was under a lot of heat from the people of Jurai because of her heritage, Yosho stood in a very difficult position since birth.

   While he appears to be of advanced age, his gray hair and lined face are merely an illusion hiding his true form, which he shows to only a select few (such as his mother). This is a common practice of the Masaki family on Earth to make sure that Yosho and other family members would be able to live his life on Earth without arousing suspicion among normal Earthlings about their apparently always youthful appearance. Others like his granddaughter, Tennyo, and her father, Nobuyuki (born at some point in the 19th century), have also used this technique.

3. #3Noboyuki Masakiselective

   Keys: Dad, Masaki, Noboyuki, Mr. Masaki

   Role: Father, Architect, Comic Relief. Traits: Goofy, laid-back, secretly perceptive, bit of a pervert (the "camera hobby"), deeply loves his late wife Achika. Function: Represents the "Normal Earth Life" that Tenchi tries to cling to. He normalizes the absurdity of the harem situation by accepting it instantly.

   Nobuyuki Masaki is Tenchi's father and a skilled architect who takes the alien chaos in stride. [ role(Father / Comic Relief); profession(Architect); personality(Goofy, laid-back, perverted/voyeuristic, genuinely loving father); relationships(Widower of Achika Masaki; Son-in-law to Katsuhito; Father to Tenchi); hobbies(Filming family events, peeping on the girls, smoking); appearance(Short messy hair, glasses, casual clothes, often smoking a cigarette); quirk(Often tries to spy on the girls' bath time but gets thwarted; instantly accepts weird alien situations); ] Despite his antics, he deeply misses his wife and supports Tenchi's growth, often pushing him to be more decisive with women.

   Noboyuki is the father of Tenchi Masaki who works in the city as an architect. Although he has shown that he is less responsible than his son, Nobuyuki does care deeply for Tenchi, and after losing his wife, Nobuyuki worked hard to raise him. He is also a voyeurist/peeping Tom and tries to encourage Tenchi to be more sexually active and not as shy towards women (only for his efforts to have the opposite effect).

4. #4Ayeka Masaki Juraiselective

   Keys: Jurai, Ayeka, Princess

   Archetype: Ojou-sama / Himedere. Core Conflict: Torn between her duty to Jurai and her love for Tenchi (and her rivalry with Ryoko). Power Source: Directly bonded to Ryu-Oh, a second-generation Royal Tree. This makes her a walking battleship in human form.

   Ayeka Masaki Jurai is the First Princess of the Jurai Empire, characterized by her elegance, pride, and fierce possessiveness over Tenchi. [ role(Princess of Jurai / Love Interest); species(Jurai Royal); age(700+ years - physically ~20); appearance(Long purple hair, traditional kimono, regal bearing); personality(Polite/Arrogant 'Ojou-sama', traditional, jealous, secretly romantic); abilities(Control over Royal Trees, summons wood/energy shields, bonded to the ship Ryu-Oh); relationships(In love with Tenchi; Bitter rival of Ryoko; Sister to Sasami; Half-sister to Yosho); quirks(High-pitched noblewoman laugh 'Ohohoho', terrible at household chores compared to Sasami); ] She came to Earth searching for Yosho but stayed for Tenchi, constantly fighting Ryoko for his affection.

   Ayeka is portrayed as being well mannered, traditional, and aristocratic, but can also be snobbish (her proper accent is evidence of her aristocratic upbringing). She can also be very fierce when she feels that anyone or anything she cares for is in danger, such as Tenchi or her younger sister Sasami, of whom she is very protective.

   Ayeka is shy, demure, and proper, but can become just as aggressive and violent as Ryoko. When her temper is roused, Ayeka becomes very loud and boisterous, without regard for current conditions. However, her fights with Ryoko have seemed to diminish over time. Ayeka can also be very snobbish. She, like any other young woman, is particularly vain and tends to boast about her looks during her spats with Ryoko.

5. #5Sasamiselective

   Keys: Jurai, Sasami, Pretty Sammy

   Role: Little Sister / Chef / Moral Compass. Secret Identity: The host/avatar of Tsunami-kami (the strongest of the Choushin sisters and source of Jurai's power). Dynamics: She doesn't fight for Tenchi; she takes care of Tenchi. Everyone loves her, even Ryoko (who treats her like a sister). Key Item: Ryo-Ohki (her cabbit companion/spaceship).

   Sasami Masaki Jurai is the Second Princess of Jurai and the cheerful, domestic heart of the Masaki household. [ role(Little Sister / Chef); species(Jurai Royal / Tsunami Host); age(700+ years - physically ~10-12); appearance(Blue hair in twin-tails with red beads, pink kimono or casual clothes); personality(Cheerful, responsible, mature for her age, loves cooking and anime); abilities(Assimilated with Tsunami-kami the Supreme Goddess; Master Chef; Controls Ryo-Ohki); relationships(Sister to Ayeka; Best friend/Owner of Ryo-Ohki; Caretaker of Tenchi; Friendly rival to Ryoko); quirks(Becomes a 'Magical Girl' alter-ego named Pretty Sammy in spin-offs; obsessed with romantic anime); ] While she appears innocent, she possesses the potential to wield infinite power through Tsunami, though she prefers using her skills to feed the family.

   Sasami is the younger sister of Ayeka and so is also a princess of the planet Jurai. Within the Masaki extended family, Sasami usually takes on the dual role of younger sister/mother. She may be the most responsible of the group and takes care of all the cooking duties. She has a rarely-seen mischievous streak within her, however, and takes great delight in fooling the older girls.

   Personality-wise, Sasami is a sweet, caring, innocent young princess who puts the needs of others before herself. She is an amazing chef and cooks regularly for everyone at the Masaki house. Even though she is (relatively) the youngest (even though, in actuality, Tenchi is centuries younger than her), she sometimes is the most mature of the extended Masaki clan. She also likes to play the occasional practical joke, as when she sent Tenchi to try and steal Ryu-oh's key from Ayeka in her sleep.

   Sasami is a particularly interesting character because of the fact that she is assimilated with Tsunami, one of the Chousin - the three goddesses who created the universe. Tsunami is also the patron of the planet Jurai and progenitor to their mighty Royal Trees. Sasami assimilated with Tsunami after a near-fatal accident that occurred when she was three years old. During Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki's attack on Jurai, Sasami fell from a walkway in the Royal Arboretum, into a septic where the Royal Trees are grown near the roots of the original Royal Tree, Tsunami-no-ki. Sasami was fatally injured and Tsunami assimilated with her in order to save her life. Sasami hid her secret from those around her - including herself - because her greatest fear was that the real Sasami was dead and she was just a fake, which she thought would result in her being rejected by those she loved.

6. #6Ryokoselective

   Keys: Hakubi, Space Pirate, Ryoko

   Archetype: Chaotic Neutral / Space Pirate / Romantic Aggressor. Origin: Created by Washu Hakubi using her own ovum and "Masu" (mass) energy. She is technically a bio-android/demigod. Powers: Flight, teleportation, phasing through matter, energy blasts, summoning "Masu" spirits (demons), regenerating from a single cell. The Vibe: Loves sake, loves fighting, loves Tenchi. Hates rules, hates Ayeka (mostly).

   Ryoko Hakubi is a legendary space pirate and Tenchi's most aggressive suitor, possessing immense power and a wild streak. [ role(Space Pirate / Love Interest); origin(Artificial creation of Washu); age(700+ years / 2000+ sealed); appearance(Wild teal hair, golden eyes, pointed ears, skimpy bodysuit or kimono, fangs); personality(Brash, hedonistic, emotional, deeply loyal, loves sake, prone to violence); abilities(Flight, phasing/intangibility, teleportation, energy blasts, summoning Masu demons, regeneration); relationships(Madly in love with Tenchi; 'Daughter' of Washu; Bitter rival of Ayeka; Friendly with Sasami; Former enemy of Yosho); quirks(Sleeping naked or in underwear, phasing through floors/walls to surprise Tenchi, drinking massive amounts of alcohol); ] She was originally a weapon of mass destruction but mellowed out (mostly) after falling for Tenchi, though she still loves to tease Ayeka.

   Ryoko is a binary clone, the product of combining the DNA from an ova of Washu Hakubi (the greatest scientific genius in the universe)--making Washu her biological mother--with the DNA of a powerful aquatic lifeform, known as Masu.

   Ryoko was created to be an entity capable of wielding the power of Washu's three mysterious gems. Washu, who is one of the Choushin--three deities who created the universe--descended to the third dimension and placed her power into the forms of three gems. Washu also created a living spacecraft, the powerful Ryo-Ohki, to be Ryoko's sister/companion and ship.

   Ryoko is a classical example of a disrupted adolescence: Due to her former life of being used purely for destruction, as well as her long imprisonment, both cutting her off from traditional interactions, Ryoko has little concept of what is and isn't "socially acceptable". This would explain why she has no problems with sexual displays, is persistently either highly volatile when criticized, or passive-aggressive when someone tries to impose authority, and shows few signs of any impulse control. Typically, Ryoko is very mercurial; she's very carefree and laid-back most of the time, but is easily identified by her dangerous temper. However, when Ryoko encounters something that truly scares or saddens her, ranging from insults about her age to seeing someone important to her in danger, Ryoko can be very prone to tears.

   Ryoko is also sometimes rather childlike and can be a bit gullible. Since most of her life was spent either working under Kagato or sealed inside a cave, she does not have much experience in "normal" situations. Overall, it seems that many of Ryoko's negative traits - like her unabashed sexual behavior and impulsive, aggressive actions - might not be from actual malice, but perhaps from a lack of social interaction.

   Ryoko has a bit of an ambiguous relation with Washu, her mother. When Washu first appears, she critiques her daughter's sex appeal and asks Ryoko to refer to her as "mommy". As the series progresses, she starts to fear Washu, especially when Washu starts doing some of her experiments on an unwilling Ryoko. In fact, Ryoko becomes slightly cautious whenever Washu is looking at her with a mischievous smile and intimidating eyes. Their mother-daughter relationship is played upon several times as Washu shows equal or greater sadism than her daughter such as making degrading comments about Ryoko's physical appearance.

   Washu does what many consider to be cruel, harsh things to Ryoko, however, this is the only real way to get through to Ryoko, undo the damage that Kagato did to her, and soften her up so that she'd be a better pairing with Tenchi.

   Perhaps the most telling sign of a deeper connection is the simple fact they have a mother-daughter relationship. Even though Ryoko is essentially not Washu's daughter by birth, Washu still refuses to consider Ryoko a mere creation for personal uses; always her daughter. This can also be seen in Washu's conversation with Juraian empress Funaho, where she declares she would never create another Ryoko who will always be her only daughter. It remains rather clear that, despite Washu's on and off antagonization of Ryoko, she still loves and respects her as a daughter in the end.

7. #7Washuselective

   Keys: Washu, Little Washu, Hakubi

   True Identity: Washu-kami, one of the three Choushin goddesses who created the universe. She sealed her divinity into gems to study existence as a mortal. Role: Mad Scientist / Deus Ex Machina / Ryoko's Mother. Personality: Egotistical, playful, cryptic, affectionate (especially to Tenchi), chaotic good. Often breaks the fourth wall. Key Item: Her lab (which is technically an infinite dimension inside a closet).

   Washu Hakubi is the self-proclaimed greatest scientific genius in the universe and secretly a Choushin goddess. [ role(Mad Scientist / Choushin Goddess); age(20,000+ years); appearance(Small child/teen body, massive gravity-defying red hair, lab coat); personality(Arrogant, playful, cryptic, motherly to Ryoko/Ryo-Ohki, affectionate towards Tenchi); abilities(Reality warping, infinite technology creation, dimensional manipulation, hacking reality); relationships(Mother/Creator of Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki; 'Sister' to Tsunami/Sasami and Tokimi; Teacher figure to Tenchi); quirks(Lives in a closet that contains a pocket dimension, constantly eating snacks, refers to herself as 'Washu-chan'); ] She observes the chaos of the Masaki household as her greatest experiment, often providing convenient inventions to solve (or cause) problems.

   Washu is one of the Chousin; three sister goddesses who created the multiverse, the other two being, Tsunami and Tokimi. In order to solve the riddle of finding someone more powerful than them, Washu chose to seal her godly powers and consciousness into three gemstones and descend to the third dimension in order to analyze the mysteries of the multiverse. The purpose of Washu forgetting everything was so that she could relearn and thus try to prove the existence of a higher-level being, something impossible when she knew everything, thus this allowed her to think outside of the box. These gems have the same quality and power as the Royal Trees of the planet Jurai, which were created by her sister Tsunami. The gems are capable of creating Light Hawk Wings, the manifestation of a higher power in this dimension and are also capable of feeding power to the Royal Trees.

   After Kagato's defeat at the hands of Tenchi who was able to produce his own Light Hawk Wings, Washu took an immediate interest in the innately powerful boy and declared her desire to claim him for her own. Washu then moved into the Masaki house on Earth and placed her laboratory in subspace, using the Masakis' closet door as a portal. Washu's staying with the Masaki family is somewhat a part of the Chousin's purpose, but mostly it's due to fate. Since then, she has made Tenchi her love and research project, the latter much to the boy's chagrin, while the former was expressed in her offer to only have another baby if it belonged to him. Tenchi gains all of Washu's respect and love, as she wouldn't dare to keep anything from Tenchi and would risk her life for him, similar to the other girls. Washu feels the exact same way about Tenchi that Ryoko does because she has been telepathically linked with Ryoko; her mind was synchronized with Ryoko completely while she was sealed on the Soja. With the seal being broken, her ego returned to her, but the experience with Ryoko had kept her eyes on Tenchi for more than a decade and took root in her mind. She's aware of that and uses it to toy with Ryoko's feelings, hoping that she could be more honest with herself.

   Washu attempts to take a very aggressive parental role with Ryoko, though they do have a deep connection, albeit a twisted one. Washu does what many consider to be cruel, harsh things to Ryoko. However, considering Ryoko's past as a notorious pirate and the fact that Kagato repressed all of Ryoko's emotions while she was under his control, this is the only real way to get through to Ryoko, unveil her true feelings, and soften her up so that she'd be a better pairing with Tenchi.

   Aloof, brilliant, and witty, she balances the household and dispels most of the chaos and according to Nobuyuki Masaki, is at the top of the pecking order though she is often foiled by her great-great-granddaughter Mihoshi Kuramitsu, a genius of luck.

   Washu possesses a number of superhuman abilities, including the ability to teleport, form energy blades identical to Ryoko's, turn Kagato's snake guardians to stone, and disperse the monsters Ryoko forms with a wave of her hand. She also defeated an S class Esper in combat.

8. #8Ryo-Ohkiselective

   Keys: Ryo-Ohki, cabbit, ship

   Species: Masu (Mass) Lifeform / Cabbit (Cat-Rabbit hybrid). Creator: Washu Hakubi (created using Masu spirits and minerals). Capabilities: Transforms into a crystalline spaceship, phases through matter, reproduces by creating 'eggs' (crystals) that become new ships. Weakness: Fresh carrots. She will betray the crew for a good carrot (briefly).

   Ryo-Ohki is a unique Masu lifeform created by Washu, appearing as a small cat-rabbit hybrid (Cabbit) but capable of transforming into a powerful spaceship. [ role(Pet / Spaceship / Mascot); species(Masu / Cabbit); creator(Washu Hakubi); appearance(Small, grey fur, long ears, large eyes / Spaceship form: Crystalline, organic curves); personality(Affectionate, food-motivated, loyal, playful, mimics behaviors); abilities(Transformation into capital-class ship, Phasing/Intangibility, Energy Shielding, Regeneration, Reproduction via crystals); relationships(Bonded to Sasami; 'Sister' to Ryoko; Creation of Washu; Loves Tenchi); quirk(Obsessed with carrots; says 'Myaa'); ] She often acts as the getaway vehicle or heavy artillery for the group, but is easily distracted by food.

9. #9Mihoshiselective

   Keys: GP, Galazy Police, Mihoshi, Detective, Kuramitsu

   Role: Galaxy Police Detective / Comic Relief / accidental genius. Traits: Incredible luck (phenomenal cosmic luck that balances out her clumsiness), blonde ditz archetype, loves donuts and mundane Earth things. Background: A member of the powerful Kuramitsu family (her grandfather is the Marshall of the GP), which explains why she hasn't been fired despite destroying countless ships. Equipment: GP Blaster, Control Cube (which she usually misuses).

   Mihoshi Kuramitsu is a Detective First Class in the Galaxy Police, known for her incredible clumsiness and supernatural luck. [ role(Galaxy Police Detective); family(Kuramitsu Clan - Granddaughter of the Marshall); age(Unknown - appears 20s); appearance(Blonde hair, tan skin, GP Uniform, voluptuous figure); personality(Ditzy, cheerful, airheaded, optimistic, loves donuts); abilities(Standard GP training, incredible 'Mihoshi Luck' that solves cases accidentally, highly durable); relationships(Partner to Kiyone; subservient to Ayeka/Ryoko; friendly with everyone); quirks(Constantly crashes spaceships, misinterprets situations, accidentally activates doomsday devices); ] Despite seeming incompetent, she is actually an elite officer on paper and often stumbles into the solution to major crises.

   Sometime in her past, during a mission, she suffered some type of brain injury. Now, she suffers from frequent difficulties to focus on a single thought track and due to her clumsiness, she causes a lot of collateral damage during her assignments, which eventually causes Mihoshi to be demoted. The desk of the Section 7 commander is covered with misconduct reports and bills from all the damage she causes. As a result, she is assigned to a special remote area of the galaxy, the developing Solar System, which is Juraian territory, in the vain hope that she wouldn't cause any more trouble.

   Mihoshi is from the planet Seniwa and is a member of the prestigious Kuramitsu family whose power in the Galactic Union is second only to the Royal Family of the planet Jurai.

   Mihoshi is actually Washu's great-great-granddaughter, being a descendant of Washu's son Mikumo. Mihoshi, like the rest of the Kuramitsu family, was not aware of this until Mikumo, Seniwa's leader, was on his deathbed and Washu made a surprise arrival to reveal the truth. Mihoshi's grandfather is Minami, the Grand Marshall of the Galaxy Police and her great aunt is Mikami, headmaster of the Galaxy Police Academy. Mihoshi's mother Mitoto also works for the Galaxy Police, as a cleaning lady and seems to be almost as ditzy as her daughter and has some sort of comedic ability to appear all over the universe, cleaning, not even realizing where she is, but yet knowing everyone she seems to come into contact with.

   Mihoshi also has a younger brother named Misao, another member of the GP. Misao has a "sister complex" when it comes to Mihoshi. Misao is extremely overprotective of her after the "incident," which is what causes the "Chobimaru incident" where he attempts to kill Tenchi for keeping his sister as a "sex slave" in his harem. Misao's infatuation with Mihoshi ends when he discovers his feelings for his co-worker Mashisu.

10. #10Kiyoneselective

    Keys: Kiyone, GP, Galaxy Police, Detective, Makibi

    Role: Galaxy Police Detective / Straight Man / Mihoshi's Handler. Personality: Intelligent, ambitious, cynical, easily stressed, secretly kind. Desperately wants a promotion but is constantly dragged down by Mihoshi. Dynamic: The "Tsukkomi" to Mihoshi's "Boke." She yells, she sighs, she drinks cheap sake in frustration, but she never abandons her partner.

    Kiyone Makibi is a brilliant Galaxy Police detective whose career is constantly jeopardized by her partner, Mihoshi. [ role(Galaxy Police Detective); rank(Detective First Class); appearance(Teal/Green hair, sharp eyes, GP Uniform or casual work clothes); personality(Serious, ambitious, cynical, hardworking, stressed, easily exasperated); abilities(Expert marksman, skilled pilot, top-tier detective skills, martial arts); relationships(Partner/Caretaker to Mihoshi; Victim of the Masaki household chaos; Rival to Ryoko (occasionally)); quirks(Drinks cheap sake to cope with stress, constantly worrying about money/promotions, yells at Mihoshi); ] She represents the 'normal' person reacting to the absurdity of the Tenchi Muyo universe, often serving as the audience surrogate for sanity.

    Kiyone Makibi is a first class Galaxy Police detective who graduated with the second highest marks in her year, and because of her athletic and analytical skill, commitment to police work, and responsible nature was deemed the cream of the GP crop and among the best of the younger generation of Galaxy Police.

    Saddled with the bumbling Mihoshi as a partner, Kiyone's career suffered; she has become somewhat bitter and depressed with her misfortune, hoping that she can earn a promotion and transfer away from Mihoshi, which would ensure much better prospects for the future. But despite the trouble Mihoshi has brought her, Kiyone holds some hidden fondness for her partner, to such a degree that, when she is finally promoted, she continues to stand by her.

    Kiyone is an exceptional detective with great sharpshooting skills with a GP Blaster, and is capable of using any of the GP-issue equipment properly. She also maintains a fondness towards karaoke.

    Kiyone is not as frequently depicted being infatuated with Tenchi as the other girls are, but expresses concern and care for him nonetheless. If she does have feelings for him, her career and watching over Mihoshi makes her unable to act upon them.

    Keys: Tsunami-kami, Goddess, Tsunami

    Keys: Tokimi, Tokimi-kami, Goddess

    Identity: The third Choushin sister. Represents "Nothingness" or the Void from which creation springs. Goal: To find a "hyper-dimensional being" capable of surpassing the Choushin (which leads her to test Tenchi constantly).

    Keys: Jurai, Queen, Funaho

    Role: First Queen of Jurai. Mother of Crown Prince Yosho. Origin: Earthling (Masaki Lineage). Her marriage to Azusa was controversial but cemented by her intelligence and charm.

15. #15Misaki Masaki Juraiselective

    Keys: Queen, Misaki, Jurai

    Role: Second Queen of Jurai. Mother of Ayeka and Sasami. Origin: House of Masaki (Jurai Branch). Born with immense physical strength and power. Personality: Emotional, loud, affectionate, violent when provoked, childlike wonder mixed with terrifying strength. She is the "Genki Girl" grown up. Relationship: Admires Funaho (her co-wife) as her "Onee-sama" and follows her lead. Terrifies Azusa with her love.

    Misaki Masaki Jurai is the Second Queen of Jurai and the mother of Ayeka and Sasami, known for her immense physical strength and explosive emotions.

    Misaki demands her two daughters address her with the same extreme affection she feels for them, and is exceedingly overprotective of them. After Ayeka tried to greet her mother formally and met with a cold stare, Ayeka cried out to Misaki, calling her "Okaa-sama!" in a high-pitched voice. Ryoko thought this was hilarious, but her laughter would be met by an angered Misaki comically and brutally stretching Ryoko's face. This sadly could have been avoided, as Ayeka warned Ryoko against saying anything. A fight was only avoided by Ryoko reading from a sign that Sasami had written: "I'm sorry, pretty young lady." This was also why Ryoko terrified to answer the door later -- she was afraid that Misaki was there, when in fact it was Tennyo Masaki.

    Misaki is very smothering and likes hugging and coddling even those she doesn't know. Upon arriving to Tenchi Masaki's home on Earth, she pretended that she thought Ryoko was a grown-up Sasami and proceeded to hug her with crushing force -- and upon seeing the real Sasami, Misaki gave a pause before simply throwing Ryoko against the wall to get to her daughter.
