->''"You were there for me, you saved me, much like how today, you asked me out on a date and showed me how nice this world is."''

The first Spirit that Shido encounters. Shido named her Tohka after the date of their first meeting (April 10), with one kanji being different. Reine later added the Yatogami surname. Shido seals her powers at the end of Volume 1, and she is allowed to attend the same school as him.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to both incarnations]]
* 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]].]]
* {{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.]]
* 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.
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:After Mio seemingly kills her in Volume 18, she comes back able to draw from the powers of all the other Spirits (including Mio herself) to actually [[HopeSpot put up a fight this time]]... but then Mio simply uses her third angel Ain to wipe Tohka from existence.]]
* 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.]]
* CoolBoard: Sandalphon’s throne can be converted into one, which she used to help Shido reach Yoshino.
* CoolChair: Her Angel's scabbard is a ''throne'', of all things. It can combine with her {{BFS}} for her FinishingMove.
%%* DivergentCharacterEvolution
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both purple.
* DimensionalCutter: [[spoiler:The final volume reveals this is Sandalphon's full power, but Tohka subconsciously sealed it out of worry of hurting others]]
* DualWielding: In her Full Form, she gets a secondary Angel called Shekinah, which, like her own Angel Sandalphon, is a broadsword. [[spoiler:Her FusionDance with Tenka allows her to wield the latter’s Nahemah along with Sandalphon.]]
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Briefly sports these prior to going over the DespairEventHorizon.
* 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]].]]
* FishOutOfWater: She thought the world was an uninhabited wasteland only populated by flying mecha troops that would ineffectually try to kill her. Nine months later and she's still missing some parts of being human, though she's getting a handle on that love thing.
* 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.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Tohka and Tenka merge together to take on Mio's defense system in Volume 20.]]
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her dress, hair and eye are predominantly purple, and she's a bonafide LadyOfWar in battle, despite being a ditz everywhere else.
* 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.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: [[spoiler:Tenka from the parallel world reveals that Sandalphon (and by extension Nahemah) are actually capable of cutting through the fabric of spacetime, but Tohka's kind nature subconsciously restrained its full cutting power.]]
* {{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.
* LadyOfWar: Her Astral Dress is an elegant BattleBallgown and she swings [[{{BFS}} Sandalphon]] with exceptional grace, hence the codename "Princess".
* 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.]]
* NeverGivenAName: She is only referred to as "Princess" until Shido gives her a name, and she has no memories indicating she ever had an original name instead appearing to have had none before Shido gifted her with one. [[spoiler:He later names her inverse form Tenka]].
* NonElemental: Unlike other Spirits, she is not associated with a particular element. Instead, she controls {{Mana}} itself. Although considering her spirit mana tends to rip the ground apart if her emotional state gets unstable and Sandalphon's throne rises from it, she may indirectly have some DishingOutDirt abilities in the form of seismic waves.
* PureMagicBeing: [[spoiler:While the other Spirits were once humans who received Sephira Crystals, Tohka was born directly from her own, hence why she was originally nameless.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: In line with [[GraceFulLadiesLikePurple her overall colouring theme]] and [[SupernaturalIsPurple the implications behind it]], she's one of the strongest Spirits in the story.
* 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]].]]
* RapunzelHair: It's about thigh-length.
* RedBaron: Her Angel Sandalphon has one, as "Throne of Annihilation". [[spoiler:As does her Demon King Nahemah, dubbed "Tyrant Ruler"]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:
** 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.]]
** [[spoiler:Her Inverse form has one toward Shido in Volume 15 for "humiliating" her with the kiss that sealed her back in Volume 7. Origami manages her talk her into subjecting Shido to the same "humiliation" instead of just killing him outright, and she ultimately just lets herself get sealed again when given the chance to do the latter.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: She's been either directly or indirectly involved in being able to help Shido seal the other Spirits.
** She used Sandalphon's throne to help Shido reach Yoshino.
** While she wasn't sealed, she helped Shido's resolve to try and save her by telling him why she and Kurumi were NotSoDifferent and how he changed her for the better.
** She distracted Origami long enough to give Shido the chance to seal Kotori by giving her an ArmorPiercingQuestion.
** She showed Shido how to use Sandalphon to get the Yamai sisters to stop fighting and listen to him.
** Shido's determination to rescue her and his consequent defending of Miku showed her Shido truly meant his promise that she'd protect her.
** [[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.]]
** [[spoiler:When Nia's dying due to her Qlipha being ripped out, she noticed she still had some spirit power and told everyone, letting Shido know how to save her.]]
** [[spoiler:Inverse Tohka got into a fight with Mukuro, and in the process Mukuro nearly killed Shido and began to inverse, but Inverse Tohka helps him get close enough to seal Mukuro.]]
* 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 [[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Memoria Freese]] however spells it "Touka".
* SupernaturalIsPurple: Typically clad in purple, is a supernatural being called a Spirit, and nearly all of her abilities leave purple trails in their wake. [[spoiler:[[PurpleIsTheNewBlack The theme is taken a bit darker in her Inverse Form]].]]
* SwordBeam: Her main form of attack as a Spirit. Becomes even more impressive when she uses her Angel for her FinishingMove Halvanhelev. [[spoiler:Her Inverse Form take it UpToEleven when 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.]]
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are purple with a small hint of gold. The novels call them “crystalline”.
* TronLines: Sandalphon's blade is decorated with glowing blue lines. [[spoiler:Nahemah's are red.]]
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler: Due to the Spirits' powers disappearing after Mio's death, as Tohka is a pure spirit made from spirit power instead of a human who became one.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to normal Tohka]]
* AccentOnTheWrongSyllable: She tends to mispronounce words with long vowels. This includes Shido's name, which is written in katakana (usually reserved for foreign words). [[spoiler:Tenka also says his name this way the one time she actually doesn't just call him "human".]]
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: She enjoys it when Shido pats her on the head. To a degree where she gets jealous when Shido pets others on the head and not her.
* AllYourPowersCombined: She gets her Full Form by absorbing power from the other Spirits, her new astral dress even shares traits from the Spirits who's powers she absorbed.
* 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.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Shido manages to survive against Tohka early on because he was the first person that didn't want to shoot her. Later on, this becomes the reason she changes into who she is now, and then later what makes her fall in love with him.
* BerserkerTears: During her RoaringRampageOfRevenge toward Origami when the latter appeared to have killed Shido at the end of their first date.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Prior to [[BeachEpisode the school trip to the beach]], Tohka tries to pass as a boy in order to be with Shido. She tucks most of heir hair in a ponytail, puts on the male uniform, and starts using masculine pronouns such as "''ore''" (she also renames herself "Tohru" in the novels). Origami approves, but claims that Shido [[WholesomeCrossdresser should dress as a girl instead]] [[InsaneTrollLogic to rebalance things]].
* BigBreastPride: Downplayed. In the first OVA, while imagining herself beating Origami in each game, one of the things she says to insult her is calling her flat chested with a smirk on her face unlike the angry frowns she gives with every other insult.
* BigEater: Loves to eat, even if it [[IsItSomethingYouEat may not be edible]].
* CatchPhrase: She frequently says "umu", an old-fashioned way of expressing confirmation.
* 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.
* CryCute: Oh, it breaks one's heart to see someone so sweet cry.
* {{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!]]]]
* TheDitz: Can be quite airheaded at times.
* ExpressiveAccessory: Her ribbons wiggle on their own when she is excited. Or [[BigEater hungry]].
* ExtremeOmnivore: Claims to eat ''frying pans'' too.
* FullNameBasis: With Origami to show her enmity towards the latter. [[spoiler:She stops doing so in the new timeline.]]
* GenkiGirl: After she warms up to Shido, she's much livelier, if [[TheDitz too enthusiastic for her own good]].
* GirlyRun: Sometimes, she runs like a little girl.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Generally a subversion, as she has a surprising sense of modesty for someone so unfamiliar with human society, leading to Shido getting pulverized when Kotori tricks him into several AccidentalPervert moments. In the OVA, she takes a nude of herself in a photo booth and gives it to Shido because Reine told her that anytime she takes a picture she should strip naked to do so (it was actually a health exam).
* InsecureLoveInterest: Despite Shido's reassurances, she worries she's not good enough for him, and that he'll get tired of her antics and leave. At one point, she eats very little while on a date with him because she's afraid he'll be turned off by someone who [[BigEater eats a lot]] after watching a program stating that guys are likely to be turned off by girls who eat more than they do, though he reassures her and she instantly starts eating massive amounts again.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: Constantly, as a result of being a BigEater and a FishOutOfWater.
* LoveEpiphany: Finally figures out why she feels the way she does about Shido in volume 12. Puts her newfound knowledge to good use by demanding a kiss for every kiss he's given the others.
* 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".]]
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In ''VideoGame/DateALiveSpiritPledge'' her Shekinah form plays more like a Hack and Slash character. Whereas the other characters has one attack button, and 3 attack skills, she instead has 2 attack buttons (one for her melee and the other for ranged attacks) and and one skill button. Her attack skills are executed through an attack combination instead.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the ''VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'' Campaign ''Ais Catastrophe'', she gets mortified when her fight to defend herself against Ais/Aiz Wallenstein somehow turned the latter into an [[SuperpoweredEvilSide inverse spirit]]. [[spoiler: Though it later turns out it was planned by a [[OriginalGeneration fake Kaguya]]]].
* NewTransferStudent: At the end of Volume 1, Ratatoskr fills her an application to be in the same school as Shido. The fake documentation is so thorough that the AST is forced to behave as though she were an ordinary student instead of the Spirit they'd fought just days before.
* NotSoDifferent:
** Tohka outright acknowledges that she could have ended up just like [[AxCrazy Kurumi]] had Shidou not saved her, which restores Shido's resolve to save Kurumi.
** Like Shido before being adopted, Tohka was alone in the world and was unable to trust anyone who got close. However eventually after a long time, someone was willing to reach out their hand to them and both ended up becoming more cheerful and happy.
* PerpetualFrowner: When she's first introduced, she's seen with a frown on her face. At least until Shido befriends her.
* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:After she CameBackStrong in Volume 18, instead of merging Sandalphon's throne with the sword to summon Halvanhelev, she converts it into armor called Ratelibish, which made her powerful enough to actually injure [[PhysicalGod Mio]].]]
* 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.
* SayMyName: In Chapter 1-32 of the ''[[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Memoria Freese]]'' Campaign ''Ais Catastrophe'', she screams out Ais's full name [[spoiler:when the latter summons her Demon King, Heaven's Catastrophe.]]
* ShesGotLegs: And how, for someone looking young.
* StepfordSmiler: In Volume 20, [[spoiler:she learns that Mio’s death will gradually erase all the Sephira Crystals she created, and Tohka will disappear along with hers because she’s a pure Spirit. Deep down, she’s terrified, but she continues acting normally to not upset Shido more than necessary. It’s only after hearing Yoshino confess her feelings to Shido that she finally breaks down and gives her own confession (which seemed to be Yoshino’s intent) before disappearing.]]
* SuperGullible: Origami frequently plays with her naivety about the world.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: She becomes more cheerful after Shido gains her trust.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She really like kinako (roasted soy flour) bread. [[spoiler:Some side content suggests that Inverse Tohka hates it.]]
* {{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.
* UndeadTaxExemption: Some characters comment on her sudden appearance, but not even Origami visibly connects the Spirit "Princess" with the new girl. The novel explains why: Reine gave Tohka such a detailed background that Origami's superiors up to the highest ranks have been forced to concede that she simply could not be anything other than the OrdinaryHighschoolStudent her attitude proves she is not.
* 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.
* VocalEvolution: In the original Japanese version, Creator/MarinaInoue went with a deeper sounding female voice for Tohka in the early episodes of Season 1 compared to the higher pitch that comes after.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She doesn't know why seeing Shido kiss Yoshino (it was on accident) [[LoveHurts felt so painful]]. Figures it out in Volume 12.
* WingdingEyes: In the OVA, her eyes become starry when she shows her new phone to Shido. She also gets swirly eyes after taking [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender three trash cans to the face]] (just one in the novels) from the windstorm the Yamai sisters' fight is causing.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: She'd developed this attitude by the end of her first date with Shido, to the point that she was starting to sympathize with the people who wanted her dead for the threat she could pose to it.
* 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]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to Tenka Yatogami]]
!! Tenka Yatogami(夜刀神 天香)
[[quoteright:338:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tohka_inverse_2_8242.jpg]]

The Inverse side of Tohka.


* AbsoluteCleavage: Her Astral Dress exposes much of her chest.
* BadassFingersnap: [[spoiler:She’s able to manipulate her artificial world by snapping her fingers.]]
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Her confrontation with Ellen sees the former catch the Wizard's laser blade with her bare hand (the novels do indicate that she wasn't unscathed), before following up with a SwordBeam aimed at Westcott.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Nahemah is a pitch-black, and evidently much more powerful version of Sandalphon.
* 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.]]
* EvilLaugh: She lets out a cackle after [[spoiler:seemingly killing Shido with Paverschelev.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Her voice is even lower than Tohka's pre-VocalEvolution.
* HaughtyHmph: Frequently does when [[spoiler:she accompanies Tohka and Shido on their date, which she only reluctantly did to please Tohka.]]
* 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.]]
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[spoiler:After Mukuro's powers are sealed, Tenka willingly lets Shido seal her, but tells him to never make Tohka sad again. When she accompanies Tohka and Shido on their date in Volume 20, she openly threatens to kill him if he doesn’t keep Tohka happy.]]
* InformedFlaw: Ratatoskr puts her intelligence just one point above Tohka’s comically low value, though it doesn’t really show up in the story since she’s portrayed as much more serious.
* {{Irony}}: While Tohka's favorite food is kinako bread, Tenka hates it.
* {{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:While the kanji for “Ten” means “sky” or “heaven”, it sounds like the English word for the number 10.]]
* MulticoloredHair: It's still primarily purple, but fades to white at the tips.
* 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]].
* 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]].
* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:A very strange and unique example. Not for Tohka herself, but for Tenka, as Mukuro's sealing of Shido from everyone's memories didn't effect her Inverse form's personality. Yet Tohka inverses as a result of the stress from forgetting Shido, but when Inverse Tohka originally appeared, she had no clue who Shido or Tohka even were]].
* {{Sadist}}: In Volume 15, she sits on top of Shido and tries to make him eat cake from the floor, spanking his butt when he starts to object.
* 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 AbsoluteCleavage that bares most of her skin [[BareYourMidriff down to her midriff]], and a transparent skirt that shows off her ZettaiRyouiki.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: When Ellen stabs Shido from behind and moves to finish him off, [[spoiler:Tohka transforms into her Inverse self, which laughs off all of Ellen's attacks before trying to murder Shido and Miku. It takes a lot of shouting from Shido and a recreation of their first kiss to return her to normal.]] [[spoiler:It comes back in Volume 15, but the evil part is subverted this time. Inverse Tohka even willingly lets her powers and herself be sealed for "Tohka's" sake]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Just to get rid of Shido, she uses [[FinishingMove Paverschlev]] to cut a huge chunk of the city and even 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.]]

[[header:Tohka Yatogami(夜刀神 十香)]]

!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese), Creator/MichelleRojas (English)

!!! '''Angel:''' Sandalphon ([[CoolChair Thr]][[{{BFS}} one]])

->''"You were there for me, you saved me, much like how today, you asked me out on a date and showed me how nice this world is."''

The first Spirit that Shido encounters. Shido named her Tohka after the date of their first meeting (April 10), with one kanji being different. Reine later added the Yatogami surname. Shido seals her powers at the end of Volume 1, and she is allowed to attend the same school as him.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to both incarnations]]
* 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]].]]
* {{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.]]
* 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.
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:After Mio seemingly kills her in Volume 18, she comes back able to draw from the powers of all the other Spirits (including Mio herself) to actually [[HopeSpot put up a fight this time]]... but then Mio simply uses her third angel Ain to wipe Tohka from existence.]]
* 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.]]
* CoolBoard: Sandalphon’s throne can be converted into one, which she used to help Shido reach Yoshino.
* CoolChair: Her Angel's scabbard is a ''throne'', of all things. It can combine with her {{BFS}} for her FinishingMove.
%%* DivergentCharacterEvolution
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both purple.
* DimensionalCutter: [[spoiler:The final volume reveals this is Sandalphon's full power, but Tohka subconsciously sealed it out of worry of hurting others]]
* DualWielding: In her Full Form, she gets a secondary Angel called Shekinah, which, like her own Angel Sandalphon, is a broadsword. [[spoiler:Her FusionDance with Tenka allows her to wield the latter’s Nahemah along with Sandalphon.]]
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Briefly sports these prior to going over the DespairEventHorizon.
* 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]].]]
* FishOutOfWater: She thought the world was an uninhabited wasteland only populated by flying mecha troops that would ineffectually try to kill her. Nine months later and she's still missing some parts of being human, though she's getting a handle on that love thing.
* 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.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Tohka and Tenka merge together to take on Mio's defense system in Volume 20.]]
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her dress, hair and eye are predominantly purple, and she's a bonafide LadyOfWar in battle, despite being a ditz everywhere else.
* 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.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum: [[spoiler:Tenka from the parallel world reveals that Sandalphon (and by extension Nahemah) are actually capable of cutting through the fabric of spacetime, but Tohka's kind nature subconsciously restrained its full cutting power.]]
* {{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.
* LadyOfWar: Her Astral Dress is an elegant BattleBallgown and she swings [[{{BFS}} Sandalphon]] with exceptional grace, hence the codename "Princess".
* 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.]]
* NeverGivenAName: She is only referred to as "Princess" until Shido gives her a name, and she has no memories indicating she ever had an original name instead appearing to have had none before Shido gifted her with one. [[spoiler:He later names her inverse form Tenka]].
* NonElemental: Unlike other Spirits, she is not associated with a particular element. Instead, she controls {{Mana}} itself. Although considering her spirit mana tends to rip the ground apart if her emotional state gets unstable and Sandalphon's throne rises from it, she may indirectly have some DishingOutDirt abilities in the form of seismic waves.
* PureMagicBeing: [[spoiler:While the other Spirits were once humans who received Sephira Crystals, Tohka was born directly from her own, hence why she was originally nameless.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: In line with [[GraceFulLadiesLikePurple her overall colouring theme]] and [[SupernaturalIsPurple the implications behind it]], she's one of the strongest Spirits in the story.
* 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]].]]
* RapunzelHair: It's about thigh-length.
* RedBaron: Her Angel Sandalphon has one, as "Throne of Annihilation". [[spoiler:As does her Demon King Nahemah, dubbed "Tyrant Ruler"]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:
** 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.]]
** [[spoiler:Her Inverse form has one toward Shido in Volume 15 for "humiliating" her with the kiss that sealed her back in Volume 7. Origami manages her talk her into subjecting Shido to the same "humiliation" instead of just killing him outright, and she ultimately just lets herself get sealed again when given the chance to do the latter.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: She's been either directly or indirectly involved in being able to help Shido seal the other Spirits.
** She used Sandalphon's throne to help Shido reach Yoshino.
** While she wasn't sealed, she helped Shido's resolve to try and save her by telling him why she and Kurumi were NotSoDifferent and how he changed her for the better.
** She distracted Origami long enough to give Shido the chance to seal Kotori by giving her an ArmorPiercingQuestion.
** She showed Shido how to use Sandalphon to get the Yamai sisters to stop fighting and listen to him.
** Shido's determination to rescue her and his consequent defending of Miku showed her Shido truly meant his promise that she'd protect her.
** [[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.]]
** [[spoiler:When Nia's dying due to her Qlipha being ripped out, she noticed she still had some spirit power and told everyone, letting Shido know how to save her.]]
** [[spoiler:Inverse Tohka got into a fight with Mukuro, and in the process Mukuro nearly killed Shido and began to inverse, but Inverse Tohka helps him get close enough to seal Mukuro.]]
* 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 [[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Memoria Freese]] however spells it "Touka".
* SupernaturalIsPurple: Typically clad in purple, is a supernatural being called a Spirit, and nearly all of her abilities leave purple trails in their wake. [[spoiler:[[PurpleIsTheNewBlack The theme is taken a bit darker in her Inverse Form]].]]
* SwordBeam: Her main form of attack as a Spirit. Becomes even more impressive when she uses her Angel for her FinishingMove Halvanhelev. [[spoiler:Her Inverse Form take it UpToEleven when 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.]]
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are purple with a small hint of gold. The novels call them “crystalline”.
* TronLines: Sandalphon's blade is decorated with glowing blue lines. [[spoiler:Nahemah's are red.]]
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler: Due to the Spirits' powers disappearing after Mio's death, as Tohka is a pure spirit made from spirit power instead of a human who became one.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to normal Tohka]]
* AccentOnTheWrongSyllable: She tends to mispronounce words with long vowels. This includes Shido's name, which is written in katakana (usually reserved for foreign words). [[spoiler:Tenka also says his name this way the one time she actually doesn't just call him "human".]]
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: She enjoys it when Shido pats her on the head. To a degree where she gets jealous when Shido pets others on the head and not her.
* AllYourPowersCombined: She gets her Full Form by absorbing power from the other Spirits, her new astral dress even shares traits from the Spirits who's powers she absorbed.
* 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.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Shido manages to survive against Tohka early on because he was the first person that didn't want to shoot her. Later on, this becomes the reason she changes into who she is now, and then later what makes her fall in love with him.
* BerserkerTears: During her RoaringRampageOfRevenge toward Origami when the latter appeared to have killed Shido at the end of their first date.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Prior to [[BeachEpisode the school trip to the beach]], Tohka tries to pass as a boy in order to be with Shido. She tucks most of heir hair in a ponytail, puts on the male uniform, and starts using masculine pronouns such as "''ore''" (she also renames herself "Tohru" in the novels). Origami approves, but claims that Shido [[WholesomeCrossdresser should dress as a girl instead]] [[InsaneTrollLogic to rebalance things]].
* BigBreastPride: Downplayed. In the first OVA, while imagining herself beating Origami in each game, one of the things she says to insult her is calling her flat chested with a smirk on her face unlike the angry frowns she gives with every other insult.
* BigEater: Loves to eat, even if it [[IsItSomethingYouEat may not be edible]].
* CatchPhrase: She frequently says "umu", an old-fashioned way of expressing confirmation.
* 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.
* CryCute: Oh, it breaks one's heart to see someone so sweet cry.
* {{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!]]]]
* TheDitz: Can be quite airheaded at times.
* ExpressiveAccessory: Her ribbons wiggle on their own when she is excited. Or [[BigEater hungry]].
* ExtremeOmnivore: Claims to eat ''frying pans'' too.
* FullNameBasis: With Origami to show her enmity towards the latter. [[spoiler:She stops doing so in the new timeline.]]
* GenkiGirl: After she warms up to Shido, she's much livelier, if [[TheDitz too enthusiastic for her own good]].
* GirlyRun: Sometimes, she runs like a little girl.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Generally a subversion, as she has a surprising sense of modesty for someone so unfamiliar with human society, leading to Shido getting pulverized when Kotori tricks him into several AccidentalPervert moments. In the OVA, she takes a nude of herself in a photo booth and gives it to Shido because Reine told her that anytime she takes a picture she should strip naked to do so (it was actually a health exam).
* InsecureLoveInterest: Despite Shido's reassurances, she worries she's not good enough for him, and that he'll get tired of her antics and leave. At one point, she eats very little while on a date with him because she's afraid he'll be turned off by someone who [[BigEater eats a lot]] after watching a program stating that guys are likely to be turned off by girls who eat more than they do, though he reassures her and she instantly starts eating massive amounts again.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: Constantly, as a result of being a BigEater and a FishOutOfWater.
* LoveEpiphany: Finally figures out why she feels the way she does about Shido in volume 12. Puts her newfound knowledge to good use by demanding a kiss for every kiss he's given the others.
* 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".]]
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In ''VideoGame/DateALiveSpiritPledge'' her Shekinah form plays more like a Hack and Slash character. Whereas the other characters has one attack button, and 3 attack skills, she instead has 2 attack buttons (one for her melee and the other for ranged attacks) and and one skill button. Her attack skills are executed through an attack combination instead.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In the ''VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'' Campaign ''Ais Catastrophe'', she gets mortified when her fight to defend herself against Ais/Aiz Wallenstein somehow turned the latter into an [[SuperpoweredEvilSide inverse spirit]]. [[spoiler: Though it later turns out it was planned by a [[OriginalGeneration fake Kaguya]]]].
* NewTransferStudent: At the end of Volume 1, Ratatoskr fills her an application to be in the same school as Shido. The fake documentation is so thorough that the AST is forced to behave as though she were an ordinary student instead of the Spirit they'd fought just days before.
* NotSoDifferent:
** Tohka outright acknowledges that she could have ended up just like [[AxCrazy Kurumi]] had Shidou not saved her, which restores Shido's resolve to save Kurumi.
** Like Shido before being adopted, Tohka was alone in the world and was unable to trust anyone who got close. However eventually after a long time, someone was willing to reach out their hand to them and both ended up becoming more cheerful and happy.
* PerpetualFrowner: When she's first introduced, she's seen with a frown on her face. At least until Shido befriends her.
* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:After she CameBackStrong in Volume 18, instead of merging Sandalphon's throne with the sword to summon Halvanhelev, she converts it into armor called Ratelibish, which made her powerful enough to actually injure [[PhysicalGod Mio]].]]
* 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.
* SayMyName: In Chapter 1-32 of the ''[[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Memoria Freese]]'' Campaign ''Ais Catastrophe'', she screams out Ais's full name [[spoiler:when the latter summons her Demon King, Heaven's Catastrophe.]]
* ShesGotLegs: And how, for someone looking young.
* StepfordSmiler: In Volume 20, [[spoiler:she learns that Mio’s death will gradually erase all the Sephira Crystals she created, and Tohka will disappear along with hers because she’s a pure Spirit. Deep down, she’s terrified, but she continues acting normally to not upset Shido more than necessary. It’s only after hearing Yoshino confess her feelings to Shido that she finally breaks down and gives her own confession (which seemed to be Yoshino’s intent) before disappearing.]]
* SuperGullible: Origami frequently plays with her naivety about the world.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: She becomes more cheerful after Shido gains her trust.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She really like kinako (roasted soy flour) bread. [[spoiler:Some side content suggests that Inverse Tohka hates it.]]
* {{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.
* UndeadTaxExemption: Some characters comment on her sudden appearance, but not even Origami visibly connects the Spirit "Princess" with the new girl. The novel explains why: Reine gave Tohka such a detailed background that Origami's superiors up to the highest ranks have been forced to concede that she simply could not be anything other than the OrdinaryHighschoolStudent her attitude proves she is not.
* 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.
* VocalEvolution: In the original Japanese version, Creator/MarinaInoue went with a deeper sounding female voice for Tohka in the early episodes of Season 1 compared to the higher pitch that comes after.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She doesn't know why seeing Shido kiss Yoshino (it was on accident) [[LoveHurts felt so painful]]. Figures it out in Volume 12.
* WingdingEyes: In the OVA, her eyes become starry when she shows her new phone to Shido. She also gets swirly eyes after taking [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender three trash cans to the face]] (just one in the novels) from the windstorm the Yamai sisters' fight is causing.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: She'd developed this attitude by the end of her first date with Shido, to the point that she was starting to sympathize with the people who wanted her dead for the threat she could pose to it.
* 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]]

[[folder: Traits that apply to Tenka Yatogami]]
!! Tenka Yatogami(夜刀神 天香)
[[quoteright:338:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tohka_inverse_2_8242.jpg]]

The Inverse side of Tohka.


* AbsoluteCleavage: Her Astral Dress exposes much of her chest.
* BadassFingersnap: [[spoiler:She’s able to manipulate her artificial world by snapping her fingers.]]
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Her confrontation with Ellen sees the former catch the Wizard's laser blade with her bare hand (the novels do indicate that she wasn't unscathed), before following up with a SwordBeam aimed at Westcott.
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Nahemah is a pitch-black, and evidently much more powerful version of Sandalphon.
* 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.]]
* EvilLaugh: She lets out a cackle after [[spoiler:seemingly killing Shido with Paverschelev.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Her voice is even lower than Tohka's pre-VocalEvolution.
* HaughtyHmph: Frequently does when [[spoiler:she accompanies Tohka and Shido on their date, which she only reluctantly did to please Tohka.]]
* 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.]]
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: [[spoiler:After Mukuro's powers are sealed, Tenka willingly lets Shido seal her, but tells him to never make Tohka sad again. When she accompanies Tohka and Shido on their date in Volume 20, she openly threatens to kill him if he doesn’t keep Tohka happy.]]
* InformedFlaw: Ratatoskr puts her intelligence just one point above Tohka’s comically low value, though it doesn’t really show up in the story since she’s portrayed as much more serious.
* {{Irony}}: While Tohka's favorite food is kinako bread, Tenka hates it.
* {{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:While the kanji for “Ten” means “sky” or “heaven”, it sounds like the English word for the number 10.]]
* MulticoloredHair: It's still primarily purple, but fades to white at the tips.
* 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]].
* 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]].
* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:A very strange and unique example. Not for Tohka herself, but for Tenka, as Mukuro's sealing of Shido from everyone's memories didn't effect her Inverse form's personality. Yet Tohka inverses as a result of the stress from forgetting Shido, but when Inverse Tohka originally appeared, she had no clue who Shido or Tohka even were]].
* {{Sadist}}: In Volume 15, she sits on top of Shido and tries to make him eat cake from the floor, spanking his butt when he starts to object.
* 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 AbsoluteCleavage that bares most of her skin [[BareYourMidriff down to her midriff]], and a transparent skirt that shows off her ZettaiRyouiki.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: When Ellen stabs Shido from behind and moves to finish him off, [[spoiler:Tohka transforms into her Inverse self, which laughs off all of Ellen's attacks before trying to murder Shido and Miku. It takes a lot of shouting from Shido and a recreation of their first kiss to return her to normal.]] [[spoiler:It comes back in Volume 15, but the evil part is subverted this time. Inverse Tohka even willingly lets her powers and herself be sealed for "Tohka's" sake]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Just to get rid of Shido, she uses [[FinishingMove Paverschlev]] to cut a huge chunk of the city and even 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.]]
