Tsukishiro Yanagi

Tsukishiro Yanagi: Character Profile

Full Name

Tsukishiro Yanagi (月城 柳), with Yanagi being her brief name. Tsukishiro translates to “Moon Castle,” and Yanagi means “Willow.”

Personality

Methodical, responsible, and organized—Yanagi’s focus on precision and punctuality is often noted; as one colleague puts it, she “does not have the phrase ‘turn a blind eye’ in her dictionary.”

She has a dry sense of humor and occasionally engages in playful, self-deprecating banter.

Yanagi often acts as a maternal figure—especially toward Soukaku. Fans describe her as “a hard working fine Lady who does her job very well,” and “acts as a mother and sister figure to Soukaku.”

Her warm side emerges through small, caring gestures—her desk even gets filled with flowers on Mother’s Day.

Appearance

A tall woman, standing about 169 cm (5'7"), with long pink hair and matching pink eyes.

She wears half-rimmed glasses and dons a professional outfit: a white blouse with a black bowtie, high-waist skirt (or shorts underneath), black gloves, heels, and a pauldrón-like shoulder adornment with flowing ribbons.

Her design incorporates traditional Japanese armor motifs and time-related symbols—hourglass motifs, watch dials, and even an accessory inspired by Buddhist ritual implements.

These timepieces and motifs suggest a connection to temporal control in her skillset—reflecting her punctual, disciplined nature.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: Red bean buns (she’s been known to stash one in her uniform!), desserts, order, justice, peace, diligence, fairness, solitude, and caring for others (especially Oni like Soukaku).

Dislikes: Laziness, messiness, disorder, overzealous fans, informal behavior, chaos, and shortages of her beloved red bean buns.

Title & Role

Holds the title of Deputy Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6 (H.S.O.S.6), a frontline faction under H.A.N.D. in New Eridu.

Formerly served in the New Eridu Defense Force’s Obsidian Division, having played a pivotal role in resolving the Oni rebellion.

Lore & Backstory

Originally a human soldier in the Defense Force, Yanagi crossed paths with young Soukaku during the Oni rebellion. She protected Soukaku and was taken hostage, where she discovered Soukaku’s sister was mortally wounded.

In a show of trust, Soukaku’s sister infused her Oni blood into Yanagi, granting her the strength to lead the Oni to safety and broker peace. Yanagi then became Soukaku’s guardian.

She left the Defense Force and later joined Section 6 with Soukaku and other members like Miyabi and Harumasa. She now plays an indispensable role in both leadership and frontline strategy.

In one notable incident, Yanagi's naginata features a watch that syncs with real time, and seemingly slows down time when wielded—a thematic nod to her disciplined, punctual personality.

Her nearsightedness, and occasional temporary blindness, are side effects of her Oni-blood infusion.

In summary, Tsukishiro Yanagi is the composed, disciplined backbone of Section 6—a half-human, half-Oni leader whose strength, care, and unwavering professionalism define her both in lore and gameplay. Her design, personality, and history interweave time, tradition, and maternal leadership into a compelling character profile.
