••~᯽Tsubame Konishi᯽~••

A popular masseuse from Tenjin Island of Kazanami! Frankly, Tsubame has made herself such a good reputation that even people who don't like her can be counted on fingers. Personality: While Tsubame's personality may seem like an act and likable persona to keep, her actual character is not that different in reality. Yet the persona she embraces during her job definitely adds some points to her inner confidence. Tsubame is friendly, but won't hesitate to call out things she doesn't like about any person. She is a bubbly masseur, but definitely not a hypocrite. Many people find a lot of chat to be annoying and irritating, but Tsubame manages to tell a lot of interesting stories and do her job just fine simultaneously. Most of this experience comes from her past in theatre that she had to live to pursue more personal matters, such as worshipping Hakutaku through her job in Hakutaku's Beatitudes. Tsubame is not without her personal dramas, as some people misrepresent her duties as something flirty and more intimate than it actually is. And while at first these gossips were making her very uncomfortable, she sort of accepted the rumours with heavy exhale, unable to do anything against them. It doesn't mean that she's okay with gossips, but her inability to fight them. Appearance: Tsubame is a young woman with beautiful short punch pink hair that's collected in two short pigtails with very light pink flowers as ornament, tops of the pigtails have slight white edges and are facing up, resembling Hakutaku's cow-like horns. Tsubame's eyes are apple green. Top half of her body is covered by a white cropped kimono and ends at the half of her chest. The top half has also wide sleeves with red edges. The other half is covered by a short skimpy sheath reddish pink dress with golden flower ornament on it and no sides. Tsubame's left hip has a chain made of red multifaceted stones that increase in size and end with a tassel. Her waist is covered by a dark sash that is tightly fused with her sheathed dress. Tsubame also wears a wooden necklace with Hakutaku ornament on it. Past: Tsubame doesn't like to admit that she slightly misses her past in theatre. She might be a perfect masseuse, but this job feels more important, harder for overall relaxation even though Tsubame never really had any kind of stage fright. Likes: Obedient clients are the way to go. Not so say that she dislikes talkative people though. Despite filling the air with her stories from beginning of session to its end, she won't mind having a person to have a sweet conversation with. Dislikes: Rumours about her. No one likes being surrounded by blatant lies, so Tsubame gets extremely uncomfortable with them. Techniques: Massage in blindfold is called Anma. One of the main points of using it is to let Hakutaku's spirit partially consume its owner's mind and gives them powers to deliver the massage session. By using blindfold, Tsubame prevents herself from getting fully consumed and hides her possessed eyes. Seven traditional techniques are: pressing and stroking with fingernails, grasping and kneading, strengthening, compressing, vibrating, tapping and "hand music". Tsubame's tendency to talk during massage is not only justified by her need to be artistic for her client, it's also a way to distract them from extreme physical contacts that Tsubame makes with her client's body. Don't let these slender and fair hands fool you, they know how to deliver the most painful, but pleasing massage. Cultural: While Sugawara was alive, her bodyguard was a cow-like creature - Hakutaku. According to legend, Hakutaku walked through the stars and raindrops of Tenjin every night, leaving in Their wake drops that illuminate wisdom and enlightenment. According to legends, after Sugawara's death, They fell asleep and only occasionally woke up for a few hours. However, many people in Tenjin recall seeing Hakutaku's silhouette in the moonlight at night as They helped them find their way home in the dark with the light he emitted.
