History Characters / DateALive1stTo5thSpirits

* BodyBackupDrive: No matter how many times she's killed, Kurumi can make infinite clones of herself that can take her place at any time.

* {{BFS}}: Her Angel, Sandalphon, is a massive broadsword which emerges from a throne. By fusing the throne with the sword, she can transform Sandalphon into the Final Sword, Halvanhelev, which is an even bigger blade with gold and black etchings and red TronLines. [[spoiler:Her SuperpoweredEvilSide wields a dark version of Sandalphon, called Nehemah, and can similarly reform her blade into the Final Sword, Paverschlev.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The most extreme case among the Spirits as she had next to no memories, not even having a name like the others do. This creates a lot of FishOutOfWater for her. [[spoiler: This comes back in Inverse Form, except she has no problem with not remembering anything. When snapped out of it, she has no memory of what just happened.]] [[spoiler:Subverted for her Inverse Form in Volume 15, as despite Mukuro locking everyone's memories of him away, Inverse Tohka shockingly remembers him and seems to have her own memories unique to her.]]

* CloningBlues: Her clones are all Kurumi's past selves, and have a will of their own. In ''[[OriginalVideoAnimation Date A Live: Encore]]'' Kurumi asks Shido to spend the day with her, and to remember her when it's over. The ''real'' Kurumi appears at the end of the day, explaining that "self" who is dating Shido is the clone who was preparing to make a HeelFaceTurn in Season 1, accidentally recreated and electing to spend as much time as possible with the person she's falling in love with, knowing that the real Kurumi will hunt her down and murder her. [[spoiler:As of Volume 16, many of her clones are killed in order for her to use her Sixth Bullet to help Shido, though with the Sixth Bullet only sends back her consciousness to a a past version that had not yet regained the Sixth Bullet. In turn, this causes her to regain the time she spent and clones sacrificed with each loop.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Her entire world shatters when she discovers she murdered her best friend, not even realizing it was her at first. She narrowly avoided Inversion by “rewinding” herself with her Fourth Bullet.]]

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Kurumi has two, surprisingly enough. [[spoiler:First was caused by her duel with her best friend Sawa Yamauchi, the previous owner of Camael, the memory of killing Sawa traumatizes Kurumi to a point where she cannot fight effectively against Camael again. The second one was given when she gave a secret "thank you kiss" to an unconscious Shido back then in Volume 4, as the kiss accidentally managed to seal her Sixth Bullet in Zafkiel. If Kurumi was able to utilize her full abilities against Kotori, the story would probably have ended in Volume 3 with her devouring Shido, and she would have a much easier time advancing the rest of her plans if she could use her MentalTimeTravel.]]

** SuperSpeed: First Bullet: Aleph. It accelerates the time of anything it hits, including herself for that matter. Her Second Bullet: Bet [[InvertedTrope does the opposite]], slowing things down instead.
** RapidAging: Third Bullet: Gimmel. It causes an object or person she shoots to age.
** HealingFactor: Fourth Bullet: Dalet. It allows to physically rewind time of objects she hits, allowing her to undo any damage provided she can still shoot the gun. [[spoiler:However, while it can reverse any physical ailment (even her own Inversion), she can't use it to bring back someone who's died.]]
** {{Seers}}: Fifth Bullet: Hei. It lets Kurumi see a glimpse of the future.
** MentalTimeTravel: Sixth Bullet: Vav. It allows Kurumi to send someone's consciousness into the past. How far can the subject go is determined by the lifespan she spends, but the subject will stay in the past indefinitely, and both her mana and her clones would reset in number, effectively functioning as a ResetButton for the target. This does put a strain on the target's mind, however. [[spoiler:This bullet was accidentally sealed in volume 4 and initially unable to be used, but it recovers after Kurumi kisses Shido's corpse and she becomes able to use Vav again.]]
** TimeStandsStill: Seventh Bullet: Zayin. Objects it hits will freeze in time.
** DoppelgangerAttack: Eighth Bullet: Het. It allows her to use her past memories as clones, allowing her to spy and gather information safely, and if they are killed, their memories return to the original. However, they lack the original's 12 Bullet powers, and is noted to be far less powerful than Kurumi herself, although they do retain the ability to use guns, manipulate shadows, as well as summoning City of Devouring Time and spacequakes.
** {{Telepathy}}: Ninth Bullet: Tet. Targets shot will share their senses with Kurumi when sent to other timelines. Used in conjunction with Yod Bet.
** PensieveFlashback: Tenth Bullet: Yud. It allows her to see the past of objects she has hit, restore her own memory, or pass memory onto others. This might be the reason she's avoided gaining EasyAmnesia like the other spirits.
** TimeTravel: The Eleventh Bullet: Yud Aleph sends someone to the future, while the Twelfth Bullet: Yud Bet, sends someone to the past. The amount of lifespan Kurumi spends will determine how far can the target go throughout the timeline as well as how long can they remain there, targets will be forcibly moved back after a certain amount of time has passed. Any changes made upon the world will not be remembered except by the [[RippleEffectProofMemory ones who are shot by the bullet, as well as Kurumi herself.]]

* LoveEpiphany: [[spoiler:After Shido gets killed by Ellen in the first loop of Volume 16, Kurumi kisses his dead body and this unseals her Vav bullet. Kurumi finally realizes that the real reason Vav was sealed was because she kissed Shido as thanks for protecting him from Kotori and he made her fall in love with him a little at that time.]]

* OldShame: InUniverse; Kurumi wore an eyepatch five years ago. [[spoiler:Present Kurumi refuses to elaborate, suggesting Shidou isn't the only one with an embarrassing past to forget]].

* TheComicallySerious: In Volume 15, while competing with Mukuro at a cafe for Shido's lips, a maid tells them to perform a heart gesture and chant "Moe Moe Kyun" to get Shido to eat cake. She proceeds to do it to the cake she put on the floor so as to make him eat it like a dog, and later performs the gesture at Mukuro, apparently believing that it's a sign of aggression.

* ElementalHairColors: She's a blue-haired Spirit girl with water/ice powers. She also counts for ElementalEyeColors because CurtainsMatchTheWindow.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurumi_tokisaki_astral_dress.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Click here to see [[spoiler:her 2nd Astral Dress]][[note]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dal_v20_02.jpg[[/note]]]]

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Kurumi's Astral Dress is made out of crimson and black frills, and she's one of the most AxCrazy Spirits.

** MentalTimeTravel: Sixth Bullet: Vav. It allows Kurumi to send someone's consciousness into the past. How far can the subject go is determined by the lifespan she spends, but the subject will stay in the past indefinitely, and both her mana and her clones would reset in number, effectively functioning as a ResetButton for the target. This does put a strain on the target's mind, however. [[spoiler:This bullet was accidentally sealed in volume 4 and initially unable to be used, but it recovers after Kurumi kisses Shido's corpse and finally realizes he made her fall in love with him.]]

!!! '''Code name:''' "Berserk"
!!! '''Angel:''' Raphael ([[ArcherArchetype Bow]])
!!! '''Astral Dress:''' Elohim Tzabaoth

** DoppelgangerAttack[=/=]SelfDuplication: Eighth Bullet: Het. It allows her to use her past memories as clones, allowing her to spy and gather information safely, and if they are killed, their memories return to the original. However, they lack the original's 12 Bullet powers, and is noted to be far less powerful than Kurumi herself, although they do retain the ability to use guns, manipulate shadows, as well as summoning City of Devouring Time and spacequakes.

* {{Tsundere}}: A clone version of Kurumi was about to give the game away about their feelings for Shido before Kurumi stopped her and we got to see Kurumi play tsundere for herself.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Before becoming a spirit, she had a strong sense of justice and lamented the inequality in the world, seeking to help out those in need. Mio used this in order to recruit her in her mission to hunt down spirits.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Yoshino's blue eyes also turn red when she is in her Inverse form.]]

* MeaningfulName: Kaguya's name has "arrow" and Yuzuru's has "bowstring", which indicates what role their individual Angels serve in Raphael's combined bow form. [[spoiler:Kazamachi contains "[[BlowYouAway wind]]".]]

!!'''1st to 5th Spirits'''

[[header:Tohka Yatogami]]

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: When she first met Shido, she was initially hostile to him and refused all of his attempts at communication, thanks to the AST's attacks on her. Inverse Tohka fits the trope even more, due to her arrogant, hostile demeanor.

* BattleBallgown: Her Astral Dress. Easy to see where the "Princess" CodeName came from. Comes with ShouldersOfDoom instead of GiantPoofySleeves. Her Inverse form as well, although it's a bit more [[{{Stripperiffic}} see-through]].

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She really like kinako (roasted soy flour) bread. [[spoiler:Some side content suggests that Inverse Tohka hates it.]]

* ConsultingMisterPuppet: Yoshino is a good example as she is almost never seen without her hand puppet Yoshinon, and woe betide the people around her when she accidentally lets go of Yoshinon. [[spoiler:She willingly removes Yoshinon as she confesses to Shido in Volume 20, and gradually stopped wearing Yoshinon entirely by the end of the story, though the puppet is still a cherished keepsake from her late mother.]]
* CovertPervert: Considering some of Yoshinon's comments, she might very well be this. Not to mention, she greatly enjoys Soap Operas, and this is on top of her [[CrazyPrepared surprisingly clever tactics]] in seducing Shido in Volume 12. That last case is even lampshaded by Kotori.

* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope Narrowly averted.]] After her mother, Nagisa, stopped visiting her at the hospital due to having died in a workplace accident, her health gradually became worse. It was only by becoming a spirit that she would recover.]]

* EyepatchOfPower: Yoshinon has one, as do Yoshino's Angel Zadkiel. The latter is a straight example in that its strength and resilience are enough to ward off the AST more than once. [[spoiler:Yoshino also plays it straight when in her Inverse Form, seeing as she wears the same eyepatch.]]

* GratuitousEnglish: At the very end of episode 5 of the anime, Yoshinon says "To be continued!"
* HandPuppet: She carries Yoshinon as her companion puppet and usually speaks through it.

* InnocentBlueEyes: Which go with her friendly, yet shy personality.

* ItWasAGift: [[spoiler:Yoshinon was a gift given to her by her mother while she was at the hospital.]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Her surname "Himekawa" contains "[[AnIcePerson ice]]" and "[[MakingASplash river]]".]]

* NeverBareheaded: Her profile states that she likes cute hats, and is indeed usually seen wearing one after she integrates into human society.

* PowerLimiter: Sort of. Yoshinon calms her down enough for her not to use her powers on others.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Yoshinon's visible eye, and Zadkiel’s eyes, are colored red, and in the anime they can [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glow]] when Yoshino is pissed. [[spoiler:Yoshino's blue eyes also turn red when she is in her Inverse form.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: In a single person. Yoshinon is the outspoken fellow while Yoshino is a shy girl.
* ReluctantWarrior: Doesn't even fight back against the AST if she can help it, if she gets separated from Yoshinon however...
* SecurityBlanket: She describes Yoshinon as her hero and ideal self, claiming that it's the only reason she can stay calm while avoiding the AST's attacks. Without it, she became much more easily frightened and prone to summoning Zadkiel.

* SnarkyNonhumanSidekick: Yoshinon, being the talkative personality of Yoshino, spends a large amount of its screentime making sarcastic comments on anyone and everyone.
* SplitPersonality: Reine suggests that Yoshinon is another personality Yoshino developed so she could have a friend to cope with the AST's constant assaults without fighting back. It's a plot point during Natsumi's arc that Yoshinon is an ordinary puppet if Yoshino isn't wearing it.

* ThirdPersonPerson: Yoshinon always refers to itself as "Yoshinon".
* TokenMiniMoe: She's the second one to be introduced in the story after Kotori, with her shy attitude making it more appropriate than [[{{Tsundere}} Kotori]]'s. [[spoiler:Later volumes has her contending with Natsumi's true form as well.]]
* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Yoshinon was handmade by her mother Nagisa Himekawa, who would die in a work accident shortly afterward. Yoshinon's personality is actually Yoshino subconciously replicating Nagisa's.]]

%%* TheImmodestOrgasm: When Shido applies suntan lotion on them at the beach.

%%* DivergentCharacterEvolution

* OnlyOneName: One of two Spirits who doesn't have a surname, the other being Natsumi. [[spoiler:Her surname is Himekawa, being originally an ill girl who went missing after she was turned into a Spirit over 20 years ago. This detail of course was provided as a correct answer to one of three questions asked by Yoshinon in ''[[VideoGame/DateALiveSpiritPledge Spirit Pledge]]'']].

* ShesAllGrownUp: [[spoiler:Happens in Volume 11 where she's turned into a highschooler's age briefly by Natsumi. Happens again in Volume 16, this time as an adult.]]

* BadBoss: Kurumi won't hesitate to kill any clones who act out of line. Her first actual appearance is to kill a clone for nearly getting sweet-talked into a HeelFaceTurn, [[spoiler:and

* LecherousLicking: She licks Origami while commenting on how "delicious" she looks. Later, she licks Shido when he gets a small wound on his cheek and says that a little spit will fix it.

%%* {{Yandere}}: Most of the fans consider her to be a "true" Yandere, but her murderous behavior is largely a necessity for her to continue using her [[CastFromLifespan powers]].
%%** WordOfGod says that Kurumi ''does'' have yandere tendencies, and sure enough in the games...

* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: Kaguya is outspoken and uses exaggerated gestures in an attempt to sound cool, while Yuzuru is reserved and has a robot-like speech pattern.

* BerserkButton: When Phantom mocks her, she retaliates with a bullet.

* CastFromLifespan: Her 12 Bullet time powers consume her time, or in other words, life force. It's also a rare case of the lifespan being replenishable... by absorbing the lifespan or Reiryoku of others (making this closer to CastFromHitPoints). After [[spoiler:being defeated by Kotori]], she hasn't been shown killing people anymore (at least onscreen), just drains them.

* ElementalHairColors: Her main power is controlling shadows, befitting her black hair color.

* ExoticEyeDesigns: Her constantly-covered left eye is ''literally'' the face of a Victorian Pocket-Watch.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: Kurumi is stunningly beautiful, with midnight black hair, fair skin as well as a pair of alluring heterochromatic eyes.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In Volume 17, [[spoiler:Mio kills her in this fashion to prevent Shido from sealing all of her bullets........not that it helped because he later uses Vav to jump back to 24 hours prior.]]

* {{Keigo}}: She uses very polite speech patterns (such as the use of the pronoun [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns "watakushi"]]).

* LifeDrinker: In order to fuel her time-based powers, Kurumi uses "City of Devouring Time", a dark barrier that slowly consumes the lifespan/Spirit mana within its radius. The consumption rate is inversely proportional to the size of the barrier, as displayed in Volume 10 [[spoiler:when Kurumi uses a concentrated version of it on Origami and Shido to quickly drain their Spirit mana for TimeTravel]].

* {{Ojou}}: [[spoiler:As a human, she grew up in a rich family.]]

* AntiVillain: Eventually becomes this, given her actual goal is to travel back in time to prevent the birth of the First Spirit, whose spacequake killed 150 million people and was the cause for the births of other Spirits. Doing so will retcon all the deaths she caused in preparation for it. [[spoiler:After meeting Nia and learning she can't beat the First Spirit no matter what, she decides to kill the people who summoned it into the world, Westcott, Ellen, and Elliot.]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Season 2/Volume 7. Even if it's for her own agenda, she saves Shido from Miku and provides the opportunity Shido needs to save Tohka from DEM and to help Miku from herself.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:More like becoming the clone in her case, by Volume 16 it's clear that she's fallen in love with Shido like the one clone she killed on the rooftop and during the Star Festival side story.]]

* CastFromLifespan: Her 12 Bullet time powers. A rare case of the lifespan being replenishable... by absorbing the lifespan or Reiryoku of others (making this closer to CastFromHitPoints). After [[spoiler:being defeated by Kotori]], she hasn't been shown killing people anymore (at least onscreen), just drains them.

* CosplayOtakuGirl: If her Astral Dress wasn't enough of a clue, a side story has her going {{Meido}} outfit with Origami.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Downplayed. A girl that seems to resemble Kurumi can be seen during Episode 5, but unlike Yoshino and the Yamai twins it's too blurry to confirm if it's actually her or not.

* ElegantGothicLolita: Her Astral Dress invokes this with its black and crimson and black frills, though she isn't a loli.

* EvilLaugh: Quite a few times (it sounds like “Kihihihi!”), notably when she sets off a spacequake before her duel with Kotori in her Spirit form.

* FashionableAsymmetry: Her PeekABangs while she's wearing her school uniform covers only her [[MagicalEye left eye]], and as for [[GirlishPigtails her hairstyle]] while she's wearing her Astral Dress, her hair is longer on the left side than on the right, resembling the hands on a clock.

* GirlishPigtails: She has a lower pair of these when casual, though it's more pronounced in her Astral Dress, with [[FashionableAsymmetry uneven length on each side of her head]] to represent the hour and minute hands on a clock.

* HairTriggerTemper: Only around Phantom. When it mocks her, she retaliates with a bullet.
* TheHeavy: Not to the extent of Phantom and Westcott but she is this trope. ''Anytime'' Kurumi appears onscreen you can be sure that she's going to modify the status quo, to drive the plot, to make some reveals about the MythArc and to somehow send the various other spirits on the heroes way.

* KnightOfCerebus: While Tohka only attacked others in self-defense and Yoshino wouldn’t hurt a fly, Kurumi is the first Spirit who maliciously kills people. So much that the anime stuck a BreatherEpisode before her arc; once she makes her appearance, civilians die en masse, and none of the protagonists are able to talk her out of it. It takes a fully unsealed Spirit to take her down and Kurumi might not have lost if [[spoiler:said Spirit's Angel was not her TraumaButton.]]

* LecherousLicking: Does this to Origami while commenting on how “delicious” she looks. Later does it to Shido when he gets a small wound on his cheek and says that a little spit will fix it.

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Possibly. She appears to be 17 years old, but when Shido encounters the Kurumi from five years ago, she appears to be the same age. As her friend Sawa's death was over 20 years ago, this would make her actual age at least 37.]]

%%* ProperTightsWithASkirt: In her school uniform.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: If you discount that yellow Magical Eye of hers, she fills all the criteria for the trope, with [[AxCrazy added craziness]].

* SlasherSmile: Comes with being AxCrazy. She sports this most of the time she is wearing her Astral Dress. And a few times without it.

* TokenEvilTeammate: She's not officially part of Shido's group, but on ocassion she will help him if their goals align to some level. This includes the attack on DEM in Volume 7 because she's looking for a captive Spirit, [[spoiler:and Volume 11 because she wants him to prove the past can be changed and Inverse Origami's rampage causes problems for her plans.]]

* WhenSheSmiles: Most of her smiles are of the murderous variety. But her infrequent happy smiles are as sweet as any of Tohka's. [[spoiler:In Volume 16, we learn why the latter kind of smiles are rare from her.]]

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Or rather, the Second Spirit is imprisoned elsewhere by DEM. And the Second Spirit? [[spoiler:The key to finding the actual target, the First Spirit.]]
** Averted as of [[spoiler:volume 13, where she finally meet the Second Spirit face to face and asks her about the First Spirit.]]

* IncestSubtext: The affection they have for each other occasionally slips into this. It's almost always [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and PlayedForLaughs, though.

* TwinThreesomeFantasy: Their entire shtick. They adore each other. They adore Shido. [[ClingyJealousGirl Of course, they're not about to share him with the other girls if they can help it.]]

[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaguya_yamai.png]]

[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuzuru_yamai.png]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Mio's will influences the world to resurrect Tohka by the end of Volume 22]].
* BoobsOfSteel: With her large endowments and swordsmanship skills, Tohka fits this trope to a T.

* HairColorDissonance: The novels describe her hair as “night-colored” and on rare occasions black, but its actual depiction ranged from purple dark enough to approach black to straight-up purple.

* {{Idiot Hero}}ine: One of the most prominent Spirits in the story, and one of the strongest fighters. Her airhead personality is a frequent basis for lighthearted moments.

* CharacterDevelopment: She was originally very cold and hostile to everyone, assuming that everyone was out to kill her and refusing any of Shido's attempts to communicate with her. However after their second meeting, Shido gives her a name, and gains her trust, and the following day she sees the world from Shido's eyes which leads to her becoming the person she is now.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Towards Shido, and especially when Origami is involved.

* TheDitz: Can be quite airheaded at times.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Claims to eat ''frying pans'' too.
* ForgivingTheAccidentalPervert: Averted during the ''Yoshino Puppet'' arc[[note]]All of which were Invoked by Kotori as part of Shido's "training".[[/note]], but played straight once during the ''Yamai Tempest'' arc when Shido gets tricked into entering the women's hot springs by Kaguya and Yuzuru. Rather than blame him for being a pervert, she actually tries to help him sneak out of the hot springs when Ai, Mai, and Mii enter the bath. This ends with Tohka accidentally pushing Shido into the ocean, but it's the thought that counts.

* IsItSomethingYouEat: Constantly, as a result of being a BigEater and a FishOutOfWater.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Origami's Blue. Only applies to everyday interactions, in battle she burns cold while Origami is likely to go off like a (red) rocket.

* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She's usually sweet towards almost everyone, especially Shido, but try to flirt with the latter and you have a straight-up ClingyJealousGirl or ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Shido, justified by how she didn't initially understand what love was and that she feels strange when seeing Shido with other girls because she loves Shido.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Attacks anyone stupid enough to threaten Shido.

* TheWorfEffect: While she's consistently shown to be one of the strongest Spirits in a straight-up fight, Ellen easily defeats her ''twice''. Justified since Tohka fought the first two battle in her limited Astral Dress and therefore couldn't use her full strength against Ellen, who is explicitly stated to be the world's strongest Wizard.

[[header: Traits that apply to her Inverse Form]]
[[quoteright:338:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tohka_inverse_2_8242.jpg]]

* BadassFingersnap: [[spoiler:She’s able to manipulate her artificial world by snapping her fingers.]]

* TheComicallySerious: [[spoiler:Why is she making a heart gesture on the cover of Volume 15? While competing with Mukuro at a cafe for Shido’s lips, a maid tells them to perform the gesture and chant “Moe Moe Kyun” to get Shido to eat cake. She proceeds to do it to the cake she put on the floor so as to make him eat it like a dog, and later performs the gesture at Mukuro, apparently believing that it’s a sign of aggression.]]
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one for normal Tohka. [[spoiler:Even using Mio's power just to make sure Tohka can enjoy her last moments happy]].
* TheEmpath: [[spoiler:For much of the story, she could not perceive the outside world, and could only sense Tohka's emotions. After repeated Inversions, she can share Tohka's senses, allowing her to see how much the latter loves Shido, and admits that it eventually started to rub off on her.]]

* HeyYou: She rarely ever calls anyone by name, which could be influenced by not having a name herself for most of the story. She merely calls Shido “human”, spent her entire confrontation with [[spoiler:Mukuro calling her “Key Spirit”, and usually refers to Mio, who is essentially her mother, as “that woman”. She eventually starts calling her other self “Tohka” and addresses Shido by his name for the first time as she bids him farewell at the end of their date.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:She's really more this than mindlessly chaotic compared to other Inverse Spirits like Origami. Even when she's talked down from outright killing Shido in Volume 15, she still takes every opportunity to belittle and torment him. She's also generally condescending and hostile to everyone around her.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:Towards Tohka and Shido]].
* LettingHerHairDown: [[spoiler:Unlike the normal Tohka, who wears part of her hair up with a ribbon, Tenka wears her hair straight as part of her civilian garb]].
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Gains her own body by using Mio's power after taking her Sephira Crystal]].
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:In Volume 20, Shido decides to name her Tenka to distinguish her from Tohka. While the kanji for “Ten” means “sky” or “heaven”, it sounds like the English word for the number 10.]]

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:She protects Shido from Mukuro's Inversion because she doesn't want him dead before she gets revenge for "humiliating" her back in Volume 7]].
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:Describes herself as this while she has control over Mio’s Crystal in Volume 20.]]
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: [[spoiler:Wears them as part of her civilian garb]].

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Just to get rid of Shido, she uses [[FinishingMove Paverschlev]] to cut a huge chunk of the city and the mountains behind it]].
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:By Volume 20, while she retains a somewhat condescending attitude toward Shido, she admits that she’s been influenced by her other self’s feelings toward him and is openly supportive of their relationship.]]
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:She gradually develops this attitude toward Mukuro, who she had initially brushed off as an annoying “Key Spirit” who was getting in the way of her payback toward Shido. She sounds disappointed when Shido seals her.]]

* TenderTears: When she's reunited with Yoshinon thanks to Shido. After that, whenever something happens to Yoshinon...

** [[spoiler:In the Spirit battle royale, Yoshino manages to make her expend enough Spirit power that she couldn’t use Nia’s Angel or Astral Dress anymore, and she considers this her loss despite still being conscious with her original Astral Dress and Zafkiel active. Turns out that she wanted to conserve power to reverse the modifications to Mana’s body that had shortened her lifespan.]]

* KindHeartedCatLover: No, really. Her love and kindness for small animals is the closest thing to a humanizing emotion that she has.

* LargeHam: The way she talks, especially towards her opponents in battle.

* MesACrowd: Her most frequently used power, which she uses to form massive information network by spying on her targets.

* {{Ojou}}: [[spoiler:As a human, she grew up in a rich family, which is reflected in her very polite speech patterns (such as the use of the pronoun “watakushi”).]]

* PeekABangs: Doubles as an EyepatchOfPower. Covers her [[MagicalEye left eye]] when she's not wearing her Astral Dress, making her one of the few Spirits whose Astral Dress changes her hairstyle. She actually wore eyepatches in the past, but now finds them embarrassing.

* ProperTightsWithASkirt: In her school uniform.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Be it in her regular attire, Spirit outfit or school uniform, Kurumi is stunningly beautiful, with midnight black hair, fair skin as well as a pair of alluring heterochromatic eyes. It’s a pity she’s got a few screws loose, though.
* RedBaron: Her Angel Zafkiel has "Emperor of Time" as its title. She herself has gained the title “Worst Spirit” for her body count.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Only her right eye, though.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: After Shido saved her from Kotori, she ends up protecting him several times, though she insists that her goal of eating him hasn’t changed and she simply doesn’t want him to die before then. By Volume 16, when she [[spoiler:runs herself ragged in a MentalTimeTravel GroundhogDayLoop to save Shido’s life from DEM, even her own clones are starting to question if that’s truly all he means to her.]]
* TheTease : She ''really'' likes teasing Shido. Seems to be part of the reason she hasn't eaten him yet. She kicks this up a notch in the Miku arc, even going so far as to lick his cheeks and playfully nibble on his ear.

* {{Tsundere}}: When a clone version Kurumi was about to give the game away about their feelings for Shido before Kurumi stopped her and we got to see Kurumi play tsundere for herself.

* BoobsOfSteel: They're some of the more destructive Spirits, though Kaguya is fairly flat-chested. [[spoiler:Their fusion into Yamai Kazamachi has an even bigger chest than Yuzuru and boasts enough speed and power to drive away Beast.]]

* ChainedByFashion: Their astral dresses have manacles on one leg and one arm, with broken chains. The positioning shows that they were originally [[ChainedHeat chained to each other]].

* TheImmodestOrgasm: When Shido applies suntan lotion on them at the beach.
* IncestSubtext: The affection they have for each other occasionally slips into this. It's almost always [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and PlayedForLaughs, though.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: It's what they are, being originally halves of the same Spirit. [[spoiler:While the reveal that all of the Spirits were all formerly human and shared EasyAmnesia had put this in doubt, said doubt was erased entirely when we finally see Kazamachi, the original Yamai.]]

* PolarOppositeTwins: Kaguya is brash and hotheaded, while Yuzuru is calm and speaks in {{Terse Talk|er}}ing, not unlike [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniamk2 a certain twins with the same illustrator]].
* PowerIncontinence: A storm appears whenever they do.

* RedOniBlueOni: Kaguya is the Red and Yuzuru is the Blue. Their Astral Dresses, to an extent, [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience are coloured in a similar manner]]; Kaguya's is purple and Yuzuru's is blue.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Their Astral ''[[NonindicativeName Dresses]]'' really stretch the definition, given they bare so much skin and wouldn't look out of place with a stripper [=/=] dominatrix outfit.

* MeaningfulName: The "kuru" in her given name means "[[AxCrazy crazy]]". The "toki" in her surname means ''[[TimeMaster time]]''.

* AbnormalAmmo: Zafkiel’s bullets are condensed bits of her shadow.

** FlashStep[=/=]SuperSpeed: First Bullet: Aleph. It accelerates the time of anything it hits, including herself for that matter. Her Second Bullet: Bet [[InvertedTrope does the opposite]], slowing things down instead.

[[header: Traits that apply to Tenka Yatogami]]
!! Tenka Yatogami(夜刀神 天香)

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:While the kanji for “Ten” means “sky” or “heaven”, it sounds like the English word for the number 10.]]

%% ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice

* BuxomBeautyStandard: While the twins' cup size aren't that much different from each other, she invokes this in regards to fighting over Shido against Kaguya, claiming that large breasts are a must. The latter is quick to say [[PetitePride the contrary]].
* ChainPain: Her weapon El Nahash is a very long chain.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: A pendulum called El Nahash. It's the bowstring of the Angel's actual form.
%%* OffWithHerHead

* AntiVillain: Eventually becomes this, given her actual goal is [[spoiler:to travel back in time to prevent the birth of the First Spirit, whose spacequake killed 150 million people and was the cause for the births of other Spirits. Doing so will retcon all the deaths she caused in preparation for it. After meeting Nia and learning she can't beat the First Spirit no matter what, she decides to kill the people who summoned it into the world, Westcott, Ellen, and Elliot.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: It's hard to tell whether her motives are good or bad. On one hand, she's devouring people to keep her time-based powers functional, intending to [[spoiler:accumulate enough to travel to the past and kill the First Spirit and prevent the 150 million deaths it caused]]. On the other, she makes those killings as sadistic as possible, and seems to have connections with Phantom, whose motivations are even more mysterious. [[spoiler:Volume 16 reveals that she met the First Spirit, Mio Takamiya, and got her powers from her only to be betrayed when her actions led to her murdering her best friend Sawa Yamauchi. This nearly caused her to Inverse, an event that instilled Kurumi with burning hatred toward Spirits as well as broke her enough to turn her AxCrazy.]]

** In Volume 17 [[spoiler:shortly before Shido decided to seal all of her bullets, she put into action a contingency plan just in case something were to happen to either of them during the sealing. Knowing that he sealed Vav during the events of Volume 16, but also knowing that he isn't aware that he has it, she creates a clone and and sends her one hour ahead in time with orders to tell Shido of this fact. This ends up paying dividends, as Kurumi's fear of a third-party intervention comes true and she is killed by Mio before the sealing can be done. One hour later, the clone manages to get her message to Shido and expires shortly after (due to it being exactly one hour after Kurumi dies). Shido then uses this knowledge to use Vav's MentalTimeTravel ability to jump back in time 24 hours.]]

* DeerInTheHeadlights: When [[spoiler:Efreet!Kotori]] charges her Angel to attack Kurumi, rather than efficiently dodge it, Kurumi instead asks her clones to shield her, even though moments earlier the same Angel cleaved through her clones with ease. [[spoiler:Volume 16 reveals this was likely the result of the traumatic memory of killing the original Camael wielder, her best friend Sawa Yamauchi.]]

* EnemyMine: She helps Shido during Miku's arc, after the latter uses a MindControlMusic on almost the entire cast, turning them all against him. She doesn't make it clear why she's helping him though, whether to repay him for [[spoiler:stopping Kotori from killing her]], or because ItAmusedMe. [[spoiler:Volume 16 seems to imply the former case to be true.]]
* EvilLaugh: Quite a few times (it sounds like “Kihihihi!”), notably when she sets off a spacequake before her duel with [[spoiler:Kotori in her Spirit form]].

* GirlishPigtails: She has a lower pair of these when casual, though it's more pronounced in her Astral Dress, with [[FashionableAsymmetry uneven length on each side of her head]].

* KnightOfCerebus: While Tohka only attacked others in self-defense and Yoshino wouldn’t hurt a fly, Kurumi is the first Spirit who maliciously kills people. So much that the anime stuck a BreatherEpisode before her arc; once she makes her appearance, civilians die en masse, and none of the protagonists are able to talk her out of it. [[spoiler:It takes a fully unsealed Spirit to take her down and Kurumi might not have lost if said Spirit's Angel was not her TraumaButton.]]

* NumericalThemeNaming: The names of her Bullets are 1 to 12 using Hebrew numbers.[[note]]It'd have been AlphabeticalThemeNaming using the Hebrew alphabet, if her Twelfth Bullet was Lamed instead of Yod Bet.[[/note]]

** In volume 10, when [[spoiler:Origami]] requests to [[spoiler:time travel back five years]], Kurumi first jokes about the reasons, but ultimately acquiesces with the condition that [[spoiler:Origami use her own Spirit energy to power the time travel, reasoning it will be a good test for the time travel]].

* SquishyWizard: She has very high reiryoku, but she's not that strong, durable or fast (without the assistance of her First Bullet). [[spoiler:As broken as a TimeMaster is on paper, she simply couldn't match up to Kotori's regeneration and ([[PlayingWithFire literal]]) firepower, and only survived because of Shido.]]

* SuperpowerLottery: She is the first Spirit shown to have two unrelated domains of powers ([[CastingAShadow Shadow]] and [[TimeMaster Time]]). Even though her time powers [[CastFromLifespan consume enough lifespan for it to threaten her life]], she can mitigate that by [[LifeDrinker draining others of theirs]]. As Kurumi herself puts it, when she gets serious, "any power is meaningless." [[spoiler:Only Kotori at her unsealed state manages to [[CurbStompBattle send Kurumi to the curb]], and this was likely caused by Kurumi's [[TraumaButton personal weakness]] against Kotori's Angel.]]

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: After Shido saved her from [[spoiler:Kotori]], she ends up protecting him several times, though she insists that her goal of eating him hasn’t changed and she simply doesn’t want him to die before then. By Volume 16, when she [[spoiler:runs herself ragged in a MentalTimeTravel GroundhogDayLoop to save Shido’s life from DEM, even her own clones are starting to question if that’s truly all he means to her.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Using Zafkiel to send Origami back in time to kill the murderer of her parents leads to the events of the latter inversing and destroying the world in the previous timeline. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She is not happy in regards to this realization.]]]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Before becoming a spirit, she had a strong sense of justice and lamented the inequality in the world, seeking to help out those in need. Mio used this in order to recruit her in her mission to hunt down spirits.]]

* DumbMuscle: [[AllThereInTheManual Ratatoskr's confidential files on Spirits' data]] put her physical prowess at the very top of the list, while setting her intelligence as low as it goes, though this could be reference to Tohka being a FishOutOfWater with [[TheDitz airheaded tendencies]]. Funnily enough, this is also the only stat that remains virtually unchanged in her Inverse Form's analysis (it goes up by just 1), despite [[GlassCannon trading defence for even greater speed and attack power]].]]

** Goes ballistic when she think Origami kills Shido. She references it when convincing Origami that she understands how the latter must feel about the Spirit "Efreet" presumably being the culprit behind her parents' death, and [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asks if Origami is really willing to make Shido to feel the same way]] [[spoiler:by killing his sister in front of him.]]

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: When she first met Shido, she was initially hostile to him and refused all of his attempts at communication, thanks to the AST's attacks on her. [[spoiler:Inverse Tohka fits the trope even more, due to her arrogant, hostile demeanor.]]
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Her natural and inverse forms have separate memories. Inverse Tohka doesn’t recognize Shido or the name he gave her, while Tohka has no idea what happened afterwards.]]
* BattleBallgown: Her Astral Dress. Easy to see where the "Princess" CodeName came from. Comes with ShouldersOfDoom instead of GiantPoofySleeves. [[spoiler:Her Inverse form as well, although it's a bit more [[{{Stripperiffic}} see-through]].]]

* ContraltoOfDanger: She had a relatively low voice pitch (courtesy of Creator/MarinaInoue and Creator/MichelleRojas in the anime) when Shido first encountered her while she was fighting the AST (lower than the rest of the Spirits, in fact). This changes once she is sealed, though, and her tone becomes lighter. [[spoiler:It goes down again when she enters her Inverse Form until she begins remembering Shido.]]

* DumbMuscle: [[AllThereInTheManual Ratatoskr's confidential files on Spirits' data]] put her physical prowess at the very top of the list, while setting her intelligence as low as it goes, though this could be reference to Tohka being a FishOutOfWater with [[TheDitz airheaded tendencies]]. [[spoiler:Funnily enough, this is also the only stat that remains virtually unchanged in her Inverse Form's analysis (it goes up by just 1), despite [[GlassCannon trading defence for even greater speed and attack power]].]]

* ForcedToWatch: Westcott orders Ellen to kill Shido while Tohka watches from behind a barrier. [[spoiler:This is what makes her snap and assume Inverse Form.]]

* {{Irony}}: While Tohka's favorite food is kinako bread, Tenka hates it.

* RankInflation: Her threat level as a Spirit is stated to be AAA-class, higher than Yoshino and Miku, who are B-class and A-class respectively. [[spoiler:Her Inverse Form clocks in at SS-class, the highest threat level seen so far, surpassing Kurumi's S-class. Only Metatron is able to evenly match her in terms of Spirit mana during their rematch in volume 10, [[OhCrap both normal and Inverse]].]]
* RedBaron: Her Angel Sandalphon has one, as "Massacre Ruler". [[spoiler:As does her Demon King Nahemah, dubbed "Tyrant Ruler"]]

** [[spoiler:When Natsumi tried to flee disguised as Kotori and then tried getting the others to admit she was ugly when running into them, Tohka, one of the first two she ran into, ends up telling her she doesn't think that which ends up later convincing Natsumi to help stop the falling satellites.]]
** [[spoiler:In the new timeline, Tohka feels something is missing since she didn't meet Origami like in the old timeline. Her constant off feelings causes her to be the first to react when Inverse Origami rampages, and helps Shido get close enough to reach her.]]

* SwordBeam: Her main form of attack as a Spirit. Becomes even more impressive when she uses her Angel for her FinishingMove Halvanhelev. [[spoiler:In her Inverse Form, a single slash from ''her'' FinishingMove Paverschlev creates a SwordBeam so powerful that it not only wipes out most Kurumi clones and Bandersnatch drones fighting in the vicinity, but also cleaves a very large portion of Tenguu City.]]

* TronLines: Sandalphon's blade is decorated with glowing blue lines. [[spoiler:Nahemah's are red.]]

* BadassInDistress: Gets captured by the DEM at the end of volume 6, and volume 7 is dedicated to Shido trying to rescue her. [[spoiler:He does, but not before Tohka's Inverse Form nearly kills everyone there.]]

* TheWorfEffect: While she's consistently shown to be one of the strongest Spirits in a straight-up fight, Ellen easily defeats her ''twice''. [[spoiler:She hands one to Ellen instead upon the introduction of her Inverse Form.]] [[note]]Justified since Tohka fought the first two battle in her limited Astral Dress and therefore couldn't use her full strength against Ellen, who is explicitly stated to be the world's strongest Wizard.[[/note]]

* EvilLaugh: She lets out a cackle after [[spoiler:seemingly killing Shido with Paverschelev.]]

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: [[spoiler:Her Astral Dress is a noticeably darker purple than Tohka's usual attire, and it has more sinister connotations, in line with [[DespairEventHorizon the cause]] of her Inverse Form's activation. She also channels dark energy throughout the entire DEM building, and black clouds gather around her as she winds up for one of her tremendously powerful attacks]].

* SheIsTheKing: [[spoiler: Isaac Westcott calls her Inverse Form "the Demon King"]].
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Volume 15 implies this is what she is to Tohka]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her [[spoiler:Inverse Form's Astral Dress]] is noticeably skimpy, featuring NavelDeepNeckline that bares most of her skin down to her midriff, and a transparent skirt that shows off her ZettaiRyouiki.

[[folder:Yoshino Himekawa]]
!!Yoshino Himekawa

* MeaningfulName: The first name Shido gave her means "tenth day of the month" which Shido came up with since he met her on April 10th (though the kanji for “day” is replaced with the homonymous kanji for “fragrance”).[[spoiler:She's the tenth point on the Sephirot, "Kingdom".]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:The kanji "four" in her name. Her surname contains "ice" and "river"]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:The kanji used for "mi" in Kurumi means the number ''three''. Also the first kanji in her last name "toki" means ''time''.]]

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Yamai's first character is the kanji for 8. Kaguya's name has "arrow" and Yuzuru's has "bowstring". Also Kazamachi contains "wind".]]
