History Characters / DateALive1stTo5thSpirits

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The first partial part of her given name is a unique case, which is possibly why an "h" is often used in kana/romaji since it's actually meant to be written as "Tooka" with a long "o" vowel instead of a "u" after the "o" in most similar examples. The Date A Live Crossover Campaign of the mobile game [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Memoria Freese]] however spells it "Touka".

%%Please follow Administrivia/ExampleIndentation when adding examples

! Spoilers for all works prior to the end of Volume 11 are left unmarked.

'''Unmarked spoilers up to Volume 11.'''

* 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 Vav to help Shido, though with Vav only sends back her consciousness to a a past version that had not yet regained Vav. In turn, this causes her to regain the time she spent and clones sacrificed with each loop.]]

* StatuesqueStunner: [[spoiler:Yamai Kazamachi stands at an impressive 180cm (5'11"), though she notes that her original human incarnation was much shorter.]]

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

* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: 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.

* CatchPhrase: She frequently says "umu", an old-fashioned way of expressing confirmation.

* DefrostingIceQueen: 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.
* {{Determinator}}: In Volume 12, [[spoiler:when her remaining power fades away and she's directly in the path of the volatile spiritual power Shido was emitting, what does she do? Without the aid of the others... she walks towards him on her own, [[PowerOfLove and she makes it!]]]]

* {{Tsundere}}: Sweet (Dere) type. 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.

* ByronicHeroine: Initially, Kurumi seems to be purely evil and AxCrazy, but her behavior and motivations become more complex and sympathetic after her dark past is revealed, to the point that she can be considered a misguided AntiHero instead of a villain. She's beautiful, sophisticated, adaptable, determined, and conflicted between her murderous ways and more benevolent nature that she tries to hide.

* CatchPhrase: She says "''Ara Ara....''" ''very'' often.

* TheImmodestOrgasm: They make very loud noises when Shido applies suntan lotion on them at the beach.

* CovertPervert: For such a quiet and timid girl, some of the comments she makes through Yoshinon are quite vulgar. 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.

* ByronicHeroine: Initially, Kurumi seems to be purely evil and AxCrazy, but her behavior and motivations become more complex and sympathetic after her dark past is revealed, to the point she can be considered a misguided hero instead of a villain. She's beautiful, sophisticated, adaptable, determined, and conflicted between her murderous ways and more benevolent nature that she tries to hide.

* CatchPhrase: "''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hUzxd8aof0 Ara Ara....]]''"

* EyepatchOfPower: She wore various eyepatches in the past to obscure her obviously unnatural left eye before settling on her hair, and now looks back on the eyepatches with shame.

* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: Kurumi is remarkably polite for someone so AxCrazy, using the highly formal pronoun [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns "watakushi"]] and addressing nearly everyone with the honorific "-san". [[spoiler:Volume 16 mentions that she was raised as the daughter of a rich family.]]

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

->''"Now, let our date (battle) begin."''

Shido's [[NotBloodSiblings foster younger sister.]] Loves her Chupa Chups lollipops. Commander of the ''[[CoolShip Fraxinus]]''. Her personality depends on the ribbons she's wearing: she acts like a perfectly normal girl her age when she's wearing white ribbons, but switches to a TinyTyrannicalGirl when she's wearing black ribbons. Nevertheless, [[{{Tsundere}} she still cares deeply for Shido.]]

Volume 3 reveals that she is the Spirit codenamed Efreet, having been turned into one by the Phantom, who then told her to kiss Shido to seal her powers. This was how she learned about Shido's ability to seal Spirits' powers. She takes them back to save him from Kurumi in Volume 3, then has them sealed again in Volume 4.

* ACupAngst: She gets pissed off when Natsumi (in adult form) mocks her inferior figure. She's also rendered speechless when her clothes don’t fit over Mukuro’s chest. The ''Ais Catastrophe'' crossover campaign in ''VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'' also displayed this trait in an outfit story when Hestia tries out a replica of Kotori's commander outfit.
* AdaptationalNiceGirl: The anime considerably tones down Kotori's verbal and physical abuse toward Shido.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Whenever Shido throws himself into a situation where she doesn't believe that his HealingFactor will save him.
** After Shido braves Yoshino's blizzard (which would pelt him like a machine gun and freeze him if it detected Spirit power from his HealingFactor) to return her puppet, Kotori punches him and [[CryIntoChest tearfully]] berates him for not listening to her orders.
** She later punched him again with much sterner criticism after her Spirit form narrowly avoids killing him when he jumped in between her and Kurumi (Kotori's unsealed powers meant that he didn't even have the HealingFactor at that point).
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove:
** At the end of her first date, a berserk Origami is determined to kill the spirit Efreet that's inside Kotomi, Shido has no idea what her Love levels are, and Kotori is weakened and frightened. Shido tells her that she's his beloved, cherished sister and that he loves her no matter what. Kotori is at first too flustered to respond, but at Shido's urging, she yells out that she loves him and always has.
** [[spoiler:When Shido tries to convince her to allow him to confront Beast, knowing that he may be killed without Camael's HealingFactor, she expresses how she can't bare to see him die because she loves him.]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She acts very childish towards her older brother at home, especially when she's wearing her white ribbons, such as waking him up by kicking him.
* AuthoritySoundsDeep: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Her commander mode has a deeper voice than her childish white ribbon personality, though it's still fairly high-pitched given her age.
* AxCrazy: When she taps into Efreet for too long, she starts giving in to bloodlust, nearly killing Kurumi with a maniacal grin before Shido's pleas bring her back to her senses.
* BigBrotherAttraction: As a FreudianSlip, she mentions to Mana that being a blood-related sibling means Mana can't marry Shido. That said, put into account that Kotori and Shido are NotBloodSiblings.
* BigDamnHeroes: She first reveals her Spirit powers to stop Kurumi from destroying Raizen High School by creating a spacequake to cancel out Kurumi's.
* BloodKnight: As Efreet, she slowly starts losing control of herself and practically begs for a good fight, taunting a defeated Kurumi about how disappointing of a performance the latter put up.
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Kotori's Angel takes the form of a huge, flaming battle-axe, prolonged use of which will make her succumb to destructive impulses and start gleefully trying to kill others.
* TheCaptain: As [[ImprobableAge improbable]] as it is, she's the commander of the ''Fraxinus'' ship, and directs Ratatoskr's operations when it comes to Shido dating Spirits.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Now, let's get this date started."'' to kick off each "mission".
* ClingyJealousGirl: When Shido's biological sister [[LongLostRelative Mana]] shows up, Kotori attempts to assert herself as Shido's only true sister and gets into an argument over whether a biological or adoptive sister is better.
* CoatCape: She has the habit of wearing her red commander jacket over her shoulders like a cape. She only wears it properly in front of Woodman.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red eyes and hair bordering on coral.
* ElementalEyeColors: Her red eyes ([[CurtainsMatchTheWindow as well as]] [[ElementalHairColors hair]]) go in line with her Spirit form's fire powers.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When we're first introduced to Kotori, she wakes Shido up by getting on top of his bed and kicking him in the stomach. Then, Shido scares her but they quickly reconcile shortly afterwards.
* EvilRedhead: The bloodlust-stricken Efreet is easily as much of a threat as the AxCrazy Kurumi, although Shido manages to seal Kotori again.
* TheFakeCutie: At first, Kotori acted as Shido's cutesy little sister until Shido finds out she turns ''very'' aggressive and physically abusive the moment she switches her white hair ribbons for black ones.
* FieryRedhead: She's a quite hotheaded redhead, especially when she wears black ribbons.
* FirstNameBasis: One of the things that alarmed Shido when he first saw her in her black ribbon "commander mode" was her addressing him by his name instead of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology "Onii-chan"]] like her white ribbon personality that he grew up with. She will occasionally slip back in her more vulnerable moments. [[spoiler:This is so that he could view her as a woman rather than his little sister.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** Anyone who pays attention to her eyes in the anime and light novels can easily tell that it has whitened pupils, and once Tohka finally appears, it's clear those are a Spirit's eyes.
** Her Spirit form's berserk state and the way she acts towards friend or foe is just a taste of what a Spirit will do and act like in their Inverse Form.
* FreudianSlip: While having an argument with [[LongLostRelative Mana]] regarding who is the better younger sister to Shido, [[NotBloodSiblings Kotori]] lets out that blood siblings can't marry... with Shido in earshot.
* GenkiGirl: Kotori with white ribbons is a ball of energy who is introduced dancing on top of Shido to wake him up.
* GirlishPigtails: She sports long twintails, and is among the youngest characters in the story.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: She's quite weak to the horror genre, even in her black ribbons. Her crew exploited this in her birthday side story giving her a zombie film as a present, then causing a blackout to get her closer to Shido, with [[BringMyBrownPants excellent results]].
* GlacierWaif: She's small and delicate-looking, yet her Angel Camael comes in the form of a large halberd that's twice her size and she has no problem wielding it with one hand.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes start giving off a red glow when she loses control of herself.
* HealingFactor: Shido's HealingFactor comes from her Camael. Kotori in turn got the Angel from Phantom. Kotori demonstrates just how ridiculous this ability is by shrugging off nearly everything Kurumi threw at her (including being shot in the head!) before writing the latter off with her Angel.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:The reason why she wears her black ribbons and her "Commander" personality in general isn't just for her to be strong, its so that Shido could view her as a woman rather than a little sister.]]
* HornedHumanoid: She gains a pair of {{Oni}}-like horns in her Spirit form.
* IdiotHair: Has a noticeable forelock of hair in all appearances.
* ImportantHairAccessory: Her ribbons, more to show her ''switching'' personalities rather than CharacterDevelopment, though. She'll be the nice little sister with her white ribbons, or the sadistic commander with her black ribbons. This is because when Shido bought her the black ribbons for her 9th birthday, he made her promise to be a strong girl as long as she wears them. Guess it worked too well. [[spoiler:They eventually show her character development as, after realizing that Shido's feelings for her as a sister doesn't have to be inferior to that of a lover, she starts wearing one of each.]]
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her Astral Dress is a kimono worn loosely around the shoulders.
* ImprobableAge: She's the commander of a CoolShip in Ratatoskr at the age of 14. And according to the light novel, she started training for the position when she was ''8''. Volume 4 states that it's because she was given Spirit powers when she was eight before they were sealed by Shido.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Her reasoning for making Shido [[ExcusePlot date a Spirit]] falls on this: to make them harmless, they must come to love this world. Ergo, make them fall in love with you, and they will view the whole world as beautiful. However, she has some basis for this, as he sealed her powers when she awakened as a Spirit years earlier, though she was unsure of how he did it back then.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: ''VisualNovel/DateALiveRinneUtopia'' assumes you've read up to volume 4 (i.e. finished watching the anime's first season), as it makes no secret about Kotori's identity as a Spirit.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Kotori isn't actually the first wielder of Camael. That was actually Saya Yamada, Kurumi's friend.]]
* LettingHerHairDown:
** Her ribbons are tied to her horns in her Spirit form, leaving her hair to fall down freely.
** [[ShesAllGrownUp In her adult form]] in Volume 16, she wears her ribbon on her wrist.
* LittleSisterHeroine: Kotori is a [[ParodiedTrope parody]] of this when first introduced. Her [[NotBloodSiblings foster brother]] Shido (and others) even call her his "cute little sister". It then gets subverted when we meet her other personality. The romantic subtext is unclear; she is implied to have some not-quite-sisterly feelings for her brother, but doesn't have a problem setting him up with the GirlOfTheWeek. The only time she goes into ClingyJealousGirl mode is when she meets his biological sister Mana, at which point she reveals the level of her interest in him by arguing about who's better and finally declaring that not having any real relation is better because a real sister couldn't ever marry him.
* MagicalFloatingShawl: Her Astral Dress includes a floating, transparent blue ''hagoromo'' that adds to her Spirit form's mythical Japanese motif.
* MaleGaze: Shots of her rear are often shown, mainly during the OpeningNarration. Even the first shots of her are her panty covered butt.
* MeaningfulName: Her Angel's name means "the severity of God", and her Astral Dress is Hebrew for "Almighty God". Considering just how [[CurbStompBattle brutal her victory]] over Kurumi's SuperpowerLottery was, [[spoiler:even if Kurumi was [[WorfHadTheFlu handicapped]],]] there's no contesting its rightfulness.
* MorphWeapon: Her Angel can transform from a battleaxe to a {{BFG}}.
* NeverMyFault: Berated Shido for asking Kurumi to show him her panties when [[IsThisThingStillOn she was the one who (unknowingly) suggested it to him]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She acts like a typical younger sister when we're first introduced to Kotori and Shido, with her freaking out when he claims he'll be infected with a virus that causes him to [[FriendlyTickleTorture uncontrollably tickle]] her if she doesn't let him sleep ten more minutes. When he finds her later in the episode, she speaks with a much different tone and manner than at the house. This is when he finds out she's the commander of Ratatoskr's ''Fraxinus'' airship.
* OralFixation: She often has a lollipop in her mouth.
* OvernightAgeUp: In Volume 11, she's turned into a highschooler's age briefly by Natsumi. Happens again in Volume 16, this time as an adult.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both her parents are working overseas, and there is no mention of them coming back anytime soon. Her parents finally make their appearance in volume 11.5.
* PhraseCatcher: To Shido, she's his "cute little sister". Regardless of the ribbons she wears.
* PlayingWithFire: Her Spirit powers give her control over fire, and nearly all of her attacks are punctuated with violent flame bursts.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the first run of ''Memoria Freese's'' ''Ais Catastrophe'' campaign, she was merely an assist. The second run made her playable as an adventurer in her Spirit form.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: If Kotori's Spirit powers are active for too long, she succumbs to destructive impulses and begins eagerly trying to incinerate everyone and everything around her.
* RedBaron: Her Angel Camael is aptly described as "Blazing Annihilating Demon"
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As soon as Kotori's personality gives way to the bloodthirsty Efreet, she violently flashes glowing red eyes.
* RedIsViolent: The already {{Tsundere}} Kotori becomes dangerously unstable in her Efreet persona and has the ability to control fire.
* ShowgirlSkirt: Her Astral Dress is a kimono that leaves the skirt open at the front to reveal her legs.
* SignatureHairDecs: Her ribbons. They determine her personality depending on the colour. Horns also stick out next to her ribbons when in Spirit form.
* SpitTake: Does this on Reine when she spots Shido and Tohka on their date.
* SplitPersonalitySwitchTrigger: Her character changes according to the color of the ribbons she's wearing. While wearing white ribbons or not wearing any, she is that of her "weak self"; a delicate little sister who is very dependent upon her big brother. When wearing black ribbons, she becomes her "strong self"; a charismatic and sometimes domineering leader able to successfully command the airship, Fraxinus. The personalities are considered "little sister mode" and "commander mode" respectively. This switch in character is due to Shido giving Kotori black ribbons as a present for her ninth birthday after sealing her powers, and telling her to be strong as long as she wears them.
* SuperpowerLottery: Unquestionably, what with her ridiculous power, her HealingFactor allowing her to shrug off just about everything that doesn't annihilate her, with offensive powers lethal enough to deal lasting damage even on other Angels.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Her Efreet persona nearly consumes her with bloodlust, and it's implied later on that her Efreet Spirit form may have its own SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Kotori is 4'9 feet tall and when she's in her "black mode", she turns into a domineering and short-tempered commander who is prone to comedic violence towards her adopted older brother [[ButtMonkey Shido]] and her masochistic subordinate [[TooKinkyToTorture Kannazuki]].
* TokenMiniMoe: Kotori is the youngest official member of Ratatoskr, being only 13 years old at the start of the series. Meanwhile, all the members of her crew are adults.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's rarely seen without [[SweetTooth lollipops]], which according to the light novel carry the Chupa Chups brand.
* {{Tsundere}}: When wearing her black ribbons, Kotori acts as a strong Tsun type. She takes on an arrogant, superior attitude to everyone including Shido, but nevertheless still cares deeply for him as shown on many occasions.
* UndyingLoyalty: She is the only girl whose Love levels for Shido ''never'' change. Regardless of any actions he takes, her levels are always maxed out because her affection for him has been cemented for years.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:She punches Shido after he agreed to Kurumi's game in Volume 16, risking the Spirit powers within him if he loses. Though she admits that he had no choice and feels partially responsible for losing contact with him at the time, thus she offers him to hit her back (he instead responds with FriendlyTickleTorture.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: A classic example; she nearly loses control of herself shortly after defeating Kurumi, and only Shido's pleas to stop snapped her out of it. This got so out of hand that she had to be confined like a Spirit, shortly before starting her own date with Shido.
* WreathedInFlames: When her powers are active, Kotori is accompanied by a blazing inferno.
* YoungAndInCharge: She's a middle school student and the commanding officer of the Fraxinus airship's crew.

Twin Spirits who appear in Volume 5. They were originally one entity, but for reasons unknown got split into two: Kaguya and Yuzuru. These 2 have very distinctive personalities, and the original personality is gone. They cause a storm every time they appear.

The duo have been fighting 99 times to determine who is the real Yamai, with 25 wins each and 49 draws. On seeing Shido, they decided that their 100th and final battle will be to see who can seduce Shido first.
