https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miku_izayoi_astral_dress.png

First appears in Volume 6. She is shown to be an Idol Singer, with her Spirit power being a magic voice. Hates guys a lot (girls don't fare much better; she sees them only as slaves fit to serve her), so Shido had to crossdress just to approach her. It works; Miku ends up becoming really fond of "Shiori".


  • Abhorrent Admirer: She's not unattractive by any means, but her overt lust toward other girls (especially Natsumi) is often met with repulsion.
  • Affectionate Nickname: After falling for Shido, she calls him "Darling" in all subsequent encounters. The rest of the girls are not amused.
  • Beautiful Singing Voice: The novels often emphasise how pleasant her voice sounds, even without the use of her Angel.
  • Big Fancy House: Miku's house is depicted as a large mansion in both the anime and the movie.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: While she Does Not Like Men in her introduction, she actually has a low opinion of humanity in general, so she seems friendly (and often flirtatious) toward girls while actually treating them like dolls.
  • Broken Bird: Like Kotori, she was originally a regular human girl. An up and coming idol until she turned down a producer's offer to have sex, and he ruins her career out of spite. Her attempt to restart her singing career fails when she loses her voice. She considers suicide, but is stopped when Phantom shows up to make her a Spirit. This restores her voice and grants her the ability to manipulate people with it, which she uses to become more popular than ever.
  • Career-Ending Injury: Subverted. She grew up believing that her voice was all that she was worth and became an idol to sing for her fans, so when she lost it from all the stress of slander, she felt that she'd lost all value in life. Fortunately for her, Phantom gave her a Compelling Voice so she could pursue a career as an idol once more.
  • Career Resurrection: In-universe, after Phantom gave her a magic voice she returns to being an Idol Singer, this time using her real name instead of Tsukino Yoimachi.
  • Compelling Voice: She's able to make people do what she wants with her voice.
  • Cosmic Motifs: The moon, which is associated with the 9th Sephira Yesod. Her Astral Dress gives her a crescent moon hair clip and earrings, and her former stage name Tsukino contained "moon" (tsuki).
  • Crotch-Grab Sex Check: She finds out "Shiori" is really Shido when she pokes his crotch and feels something that a girl shouldn't have.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: It's shown in a Troubled Backstory Flashback that Miku was a rising idol in Japan. Then, her producer ruined her career after she rejected his advances. If that wasn't bad enough, she lost her singing abilities after attempting to restart her career, nearly driving her to suicide before Phantom gave her powers.
  • Deal with the Devil: Losing her status and her voice is what sends her across the Despair Event Horizon and causes Phantom to offer to make her the Spirit Diva.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: She's initially distrustful of anyone, especially towards men. But Shido pulls a Big Damn Heroes moment to rescue Miku at the end of Volume 7, and this is one of the reasons why she has a Heel–Face Turn.
  • Despair Event Horizon: She seriously considered suicide after falling out show biz and losing her voice while attempting to restart her singing career. Only Phantom's appearance and her transformation into Spirit Diva prevents it.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Her first interaction with Shido has her letting him know just how much she hates him... all while having a gentle smile on her face. Only in the text though; the illustration shows her having a disgusted look.
  • Does Not Like Men: She harbors a strong hatred towards men, due to having been betrayed by her male producer and male fans. She eventually warms up to Shido during Volume 7, especially after her Heel–Face Turn.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When Shido tells her of his intentions to rescue Tohka, she initially thinks he's talking about how others can fend for themselves, not knowing that Shido was talking about heroic qualities like morality and self-sacrifice. This is one of the reasons she has a Heel–Face Turn later on.
  • Evil Diva: She made her debut as a mysterious, nationwide popular idol who broke into stardom with her captivating voice without appearing in person. She turns out to be a Spirit that Does Not Like Men with a sociopathic personality who uses Mind-Control Music to enslave the girls that she takes fancy on, until she mellows out from her newfound trust in Shido.
  • Face Death with Dignity: She decides to resign herself to being killed by Inverse Tohka after using up all of her power... up until Shido pulls his Big Damn Heroes moment.
  • Famed In-Story: Comes with being an Idol Singer, to the point that Tonomachi was shocked Shido never heard of her prior to the volume she was introduced in.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Her politeness is to mask her sinister nature. Although she eventually becomes a better person after being influenced by Shido.
  • Flower Motifs: Her debut novel is titled "Miku Lily", and her Astral Dress includes them on her choker and hairpiece. Lily translates to "Yuri" in Japanese, fitting for an admittedly downplayed lesbian like her.
  • Freudian Excuse: Her male producer ruined her career as Tsukino Yoimachi, and her mostly male fans believed the rumors and turned against her. It's no wonder she distrusts people, especially men such as Shido. At least up until the latter rescues her from Inverse Tohka towards the end of volume 7.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: She went from an up-and-coming idol singer to a Spirit and an Evil Diva to boot.
  • Giant Poofy Sleeves: Her Astral Dress has pronounced shoulders.
  • The Glomp: She gives one to Shido after pulling a Heel–Face Turn. Later volumes have her attempting to do this to the fellow Spirits, especially Tohka and Natsumi.
  • Good Girl Gone Bad: Miku used to be a normal idol who just wanted to make people happy with her songs. Then she underwent a change in temperament after her producer ruined her career and Phantom transformed her into a Spirit at the cost of falling to the dark side.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Once she's finally won over by Shido's heroism and selflessness, Miku becomes remorseful for brainwashing everyone and changes for the better, starting by allowing Shido to seal her powers and becoming one of his main allies.
  • Hime Cut: She's a gorgeous Idol Singer with blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and waist-length hair.
  • Idol Singer: She works as a very famous and popular idol singer.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: At first, she hates all men and only feels attracted to cute girls. After Shido risks his life to protect her, Miku decides to make an exception for him and joins his Battle Harem.
    Shido: D-Darling?! What are you...? I thought you hated men!
    Miku: You're special, Darling.
  • I Love You Because I Can't Control You: When she tells "Shiori" that she can make the world love her if she chooses to, he replies that he would hate her even more, because her power doesn't work on him. This causes her to tell him that she only wants him more now because of that. It's her subconscious way of wanting someone to appreciate her as normal person.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: She's stated to do this with girls she particularly adores, hence Shido crossdressing to get the opportunity.
  • Important Hair Accessory: No matter her clothes, there's always at least a small flower-shaped hair clip in her hair. Her Astral Dress adds a big crescent moon to the clip, as well as what appears to be white lilies. In Volume 8, her removing of said clip so Shido would have something to remember her with if she disappeared gives him the final clue for identifying who Natsumi disguised herself as.
  • Incompatible Orientation: Even after proclaiming her love for Shido, she flirts with the straight (or, at the very least, only interested in Shido) other members of Shido's harem (Tohka and Natsumi in particular).
  • It's All About Me: At first, her intentional spacequakes and mind-control over others begins and ends with her ego. This is highlighted when Shido tells Miku of her intentions to rescue Tohka towards the end of Volume 7. Fortunately, Miku gets better after her Heel–Face Turn.
  • I Was Just Passing Through: She comes up with several excuses for why she chooses to help Shido rescue Tohka and fight Inverse Tohka.
  • Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: She goes from agonizing over her producer ruining her career and losing her voice to an Evil Diva who can mind-control other spirits without a problem.
  • Lack of Empathy: She's introduced as a a villainous diva, to the point where she casually says that any potential victim of her intentional spacequakes should be happy to die for her. It was enough to make "Shiori" openly proclaim that he hates her, despite it being counterproductive to his goal of making her fall for him.
  • Like a God to Me: She addressed Phantom as god during the few times she mentioned about Phantom. Considering that Phantom had saved Miku at the brink of her suicidal depression by restoring her lost voice with a Compelling Voice, she has a good reason for that.
  • Logical Weakness: Her voice won't be able to brainwash someone if they can't hear it. Likewise, since her powers comes from her vocal chords, she would be rendered helpless if her mouth is covered, as shown when one of Kurumi's clone dragged Miku into the shadow during their battle.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: She sexually harasses women who fit her type.
  • Love Redeems: Falling in love with Shido causes her to finally regret her villainous actions. She willingly kisses him to seal her Spirit powers and only uses them to help Shido from then on.
  • Magic Idol Singer: Miku was originally a normal idol until she lost fame because of an scandal and the stress caused her to lose her voice. Phantom turned her into a Spirit so she could gain back her voice, in addition of Magic Music powers that allow her to mind control people and produce soundwaves.
  • Magic Music: Her Spirit powers grant her power over anything related to sound, and given her tenure as an idol, she prominently uses her music to her advantage.
  • Meaningful Name: She's a pop star with the same first name as Hatsune Miku.
  • Mind-Control Music: She has an organ that she can use to to brainwash people with. It doesn't work on everyone however, those immune include unsealed Spirits, Shido and Ellen.
  • Musical Assassin: Her Angel, Gabriel, takes the form of an organ that controls sound. Its abilities can be utilized via the organ, which is controlled with a keyboard, or through her own voice. For her convenience, Gabriel can also manifest as smaller organ pipes.
  • Never Be Hurt Again: After hearing her Freudian Excuse, Shido comes to the conclusion that her treating humans like toys is not out of a superiority complex, but fear that she'll be betrayed again like with her previous fanbase.
  • Nice Girl: While she starts off as a total Jerkass, she eventually develops into a much nicer person thanks to Shido's influence.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: She loves trying to grab, cuddle up with, hug, and kiss Shido and her fellow spirits, which none of them are appreciative of. She even cuddles up with Natsumi while both of them are asleep, thanks to Miku sleepwalking and once grabbed Tohka's boobs from behind in the light novels.
  • Oh, Crap!: Miku has a moment of terror when she realizes that Shiori isn't a girl after all.
  • Onee-sama: The girls from her One-Gender School call her "Onee-sama", showing that she's highly popular and respected by her schoolmates.
  • Psycho Lesbian: She's introduced as a domineering schoolgirl lesbian with the intent on making "Shiori" hers, and is accompanied by several groupies that are controlled by her powers. Later volumes have her flirting with the other Spirits, particularly Tohka, though by that point she has become one of Shido's friends.
  • Red Baron: Her Angel Gabriel is referred to as "Army-Breaking Songstress"
  • Rescue Romance: After Shido rescues her from Inverse Tohka, Miku becomes smitten with him.
  • Seashell Bra: When Shido and the girls get transported to a dimension made of fairy tales, Miku gets turned into The Little Mermaid, complete with wearing seashells for a bra.
  • Serious Business: In the light novels, Miku tells Natsumi that the latter will have to pay royalties to her after Natsumi uses Haniel to replay one of her songs while Shido is trying to seal Origami. According to her, this is because an idol's privileges are very strict.
  • Sore Loser: She just can't accept losing to teamwork at first. When Raizen High wins over her, she uses her powers to manipulate everyone into capturing Shido for her.
  • Squishy Wizard: Her stats aside from reiryoku are all quite poor, and she often ends up supporting her comrades with her songs instead of fighting directly. In Volume 20, she reveals a new fighting style weaponizing Gabriel's pipes that she developed out of awareness of this.
  • Stage Name: Went by the stage name Tsukino Yoimachi, until her Break the Cutie moment. After gaining her Spirit powers, she returned to the stage under her true name.
  • Start of Darkness: She had a rough life after her producer ruined her career as Tsukino Yoimachi, but losing her voice and trying to reconnect her fans seems to have been the final straw.
  • Super-Scream: One of the basic applications of her powers has her simply making a shout to knock her opponents flat, or even outright block incoming attacks.
  • The Tease: She openly flirts with cute girls (or Shido).
  • This Is Gonna Suck: Miku has one when she has exhausted the last of her powers against Inverse Form Tohka. When her opponent prepares to finish her, she forces a laugh and resigns herself to an imminent death... then Shido saves her and she subsequently pulls a Heel–Face Turn.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: She eventually becomes a nicer person towards the end of Volume 7 after Shido rescues her from Inverse Tohka.
  • Tsundere: She briefly becomes a Harsh (Tsun) Type during the climax of Volume 7, where she's distrustful toward Shido as a human male but is just curious enough about the lengths he'll go to save Tohka that she'll reluctantly help him out. After Shido protects her from Inverse Tohka, Miku stays firmly on the Dere side.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By brainwashing Yoshino and the Yamai twins, she made it that much easier for Ellen to kidnap Tohka.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Her Troubled Backstory Flashback reveals that she was indeed a sweet kid until her producer ruined her career and Phantom appeared and granted her the power of a Spirit. The "Used to be part" goes away once she falls for Shido.
  • Wingding Eyes: Sports this in Date A Live Encore Volume 2 when saw Tohka in swimsuit during Tennou Festival, coupled with Perverted Drooling.
  • Yaoi Fangirl: Suggested to have become one in Ep 1 of S5 given she's excited at the prospect of Shido 'sticking a long hard thing in himself" when he uses Mukuro's key on himself to unlock forgetten/repressed memories.

    Natsumi 

Natsumi

Voiced by: Ayumi Mano (Japanese), Katelyn Barr (English), Abril Ramos (Latin-American Spanish dub)

Code name: "Witch"

Angel: Haniel (Broom)

Astral Dress: Adonainote  Tzabaoth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/natsumi_adult_form.png
Click here to see her true form

A Spirit who makes her first appearance in Volume 8. Shido's the first non-AST person she met. Things were going well in his attempt to seal her powers. Then she sneezes, causing a flash of light, and her getting angry at him because he saw something about her that she didn't want him to see (he actually didn't get to see anything). She takes the form of Shido and makes advances on all his acquaintances in school before being found out by Tohka and Origami, after which she escapes and issues Shido photos of 12 people close to him, and challenges him to find her out before they all disappear.


  • Adaptational Attractiveness: Natsumi's true form in the novels is described as having a sickly appearance that the anime doesn't really convey.
  • Bastard Angst: She grew up as an illegitimate child in a abusive household where her mother only used her for the secret hush money her father provided for them.
  • Bully Magnet: Before she became a Spirit, she went to a school where she was shunned and bullied for her dirty appearance.
  • Butt-Monkey: She's Miku's favorite target for sexual harassment.
  • Cosmic Motifs: Her Astral Dress is decorated with star ornaments.
  • Curly Hair Is Ugly: One of her biggest chagrins with her true form is that she thinks her curly hair is ugly. She uses her transformation powers to make her hair look straight and silky.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Green hair with green eyes.
  • Cuteness Proximity: She gets really close to Yoshino starting by Volume 10, even getting herself flustered by saying she'd marry her, though how serious this remark was at the time isn't shown. Then in Volume 12, she mentions in her thoughts that Yoshino is a goddess.
  • Cute Witch: Her true form is that of a young girl around the same age as Yoshino, and wearing a witch's hat that's comically oversized for her.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She was raised by an abusive mother who refused to feed her and would always belittle her for being ugly. After they lost their only source of income when her father died, Natsumi's mother demanded that she do anything including prostitution to make money for her. Natsumi replied that it was impossible since she was ugly just like her. This caused her mother to snap and begin choking Natsumi. If she haven't been turned into a Spirit, Natsumi would have been killed by her own mother.
  • Desperately Craves Affection: Initially, Natsumi uses her sexy adult form to make Shido praise her beauty and give her attention and care. When she accidentally lets him see her true form, she freaks out because she thinks he'll call her ugly, but once she realizes Shido and the other Spirits won't reject her for her appearance, she accepts to join the team.
  • Determinator: In Volume 13, she skips sleep to finish the book the Spirits are working on together so it will be ready to challenge Nia's book in sales. She declares that she wants to make herself useful and prove the value of their friendship.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: After she assumes Shido saw her true form, she impersonates him and starts making his friends disappear in order to make him feel true despair.
  • The Dog Bites Back: After she became a Spirit, Natsumi transformed her mother into a frog in retaliation for all the years of abuse she put her through.
  • Dual Age Modes: She uses her transformation powers to shift between her true child form and her sexy adult form.
  • Easily Forgiven: She's forgiven by Shido and the other Spirits when they rescue her from AST forces by the end of volume 9, despite her efforts trying to make Shido a Hero with Bad Publicity, spiriting away his loved ones, and turning the other Spirits into children. She's stunned at how quickly they're willing to let it all slide, but Shido simply says that other Spirits have put him through worse, and said Spirits admit that they're not in any place to judge her for causing trouble.
  • The Eeyore: She has a very negative mindset and is quick to assume that everyone hates her. Her self-esteem slightly improves after getting sealed, but she's still noted to have the weakest mental fortitude among the Spirits.
  • Emergency Transformation: She was given her powers to save her from being strangled to death by her mother.
  • Emotional Powers: Her powers activate according to her emotions, especially negative ones. After getting sealed, she needs to recall some of her worst memories to transform into her sexy adult mode.
  • Empathic Shapeshifter: The buxom form she initially adopts is actually a response to how she perceives the world after several visits on Earth in the past. Shido persuades her to grow out of it and stay true to herself, although she's not above using it to tease him and Kotori.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: In her true form, her Astral Dress has stockings of orange and purple stripes, with the right longer than the left one.
  • Flying Broom Stick: Her Angel takes the form of a Witch's broom. She often rides on it while flying.
  • Fountain of Youth: She turns the main cast into 9-year-old children once they catch sight of her true form.
  • Freudian Excuse: She starts off obsessed with using her powers to make herself beautiful and very spiteful when others see her real form. While her initial behavior makes her look petty, she didn't have an easy life before she got the powers she needed to become attractive. She grew up with an abusive mother who regularly beat her. Her attempts at being a good daughter backfired as it caused her mother to hate her even more. She would even be called ugly by her often while growing up. This treatment resulted in her presuming the worst of people as well as her own appearance.
  • The Gadfly: She likes to tease people fairly often. In her case it seems to be to both get a reaction as shown with Kotori (when teasing her about being short), and having trouble expressing herself as seen with Yoshino (when she says she'd like to marry her to her embarrassment).
  • Healing Hands: She can apply first aid that by transforming someone's body into one without injuries.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After Shido and the Spirits give her a makeover to fix her body image issues, and Shido risks his life for her sake against Ellen and a later Colony Drop, she breaks down crying and apologizes for antagonizing them.
  • Hot Witch: Her initial disguise is a tall, curvaceous adult woman in a very form-fitting witch outfit.
  • I Am Not Pretty: The reason why she uses the aformetioned Hot Witch form is because she doesn't consider her true form as pretty. This is due to the abuse from her mother, to the point where she wondered if she would've been spared from the abuse if she was born prettier.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: She changes her appearance into a beautiful woman because she thinks that's the only way to get love from other people, since her abusive background convinced her that her true form is too ugly for anyone to love her. She's comfortable to be herself only after Shido and the other Spirits accept her as their friend for who she really is.
  • Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her true form's Astral Dress has a top that hangs off her shoulders.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: She takes the form of a confident and haughty woman with astonishing beauty so people praise her, but once others see her true form, she believes they're going to call her ugly and she starts acting gloomy.
  • Magic Mirror: Her Angel contains a mirror which transforms whatever it sheds light on. She also used it to trap her victims in a pocket dimension during her game with Shido.
  • Master of Disguise: Thanks to her shapeshifting powers, she can turn into whatever she wants. During Volume 8, she disguised herself as Yoshinon, Yoshino's puppet, though the farce is only revealed when Yoshinon was able to react to something Yoshino couldn't, and that Yoshinon knew of its time in Origami's house; both of which were impossible since Yoshinon was a Split Personality of Yoshino, meaning it couldn't know anything that Yoshino didn't, and that outside of Yoshino's control Yoshinon was nothing more than a puppet.
  • Meaningful Name: Her surname Kyouno contains "mirror", which her Angel uses to transform others, and generally represents her body image issues.
  • Messy Hair: Her hair is quite unruly in her true form, which is one of her many insecurities about it. The author has even compared it to a Christmas tree.
  • Name Amnesia: She can only remember her given name. Volume 22 reveals her surname to be Kyouno, though in previous volume she had assumed it to be Nekuragawa or Inkiyada.
  • Navel Outline: Her Hot Witch form wears very form-fitting clothes, resulting in a visible navel outline.
  • Older Than She Looks: She was in junior high when she became a Spirit, but her true form looks like an elementary school student because her growth was stunted from malnutrition due to her mother not wanting to feed her properly.
  • Power Copying:
    • Haniel's Kaleidoscope ability is this, allowing Natsumi to transform Haniel into an inferior copy of another Angel. On a more downplayed level, her ability to mimic people is so great that she's able to copy their skill level, this was best shown in Volume 13 where she revealed she could draw at the level of a professional illustrator.
  • Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: After her sealing, she quickly forms a close bond with Yoshino, to the point of once blurting out that she wants to marry her.
  • Red Baron: Her Angel Haniel has one befitting its powers, "Witch of Forgery".
  • Sensual Spandex: Natsumi's initial Astral Dress doesn't show much skin, but clings very closely to her curvaceous adult body.
  • Sexier Alter Ego: She makes herself appear as an attractive young woman with a curvaceous body, but her true form is a skinny little girl. It's something she would rather not show to people, as she doesn't think she's cute, and promptly transforms the girls of the main cast into 9-year-old children before she flees.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: She has low self-esteem because she thinks her true form is ugly. Shido and the other Spirits give her true form a makeover to show her that she can pretty herself up without relying on her transformation powers.
  • Sour Outside, Sad Inside: When introduced, Natsumi is very bitter, hostile and malicious towards Shido and the other Spirits, especially after they find out how she really looks like. However, she isn't actually a bad person, just a very lonely girl who never received love or positive attention from her family and got bullied because she was unattractive. Once Shido and the Spirits prove they really want to be her friends, no matter how she looks like, Natsumi softens significantly.
  • Squishy Wizard: Ratatoskr puts her physical stats rather low. This is shown when she gets quickly subdued by Ellen even after turning her into a child. Like Nia, she spends much of the Spirit battle royale trying to avoid a direct fight with anyone.
  • Tears of Remorse: She cries after realizing how wrong her actions were towards Shido and the Spirits at the end of volume 9.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: She's introduced as a self-absorbed jerk who seeks to make Shido a Hero with Bad Publicity. After seeing Shido do everything to find her when the entire town was in danger, hearing everyone still speak good of her when she thought they'd speak ill behind her back, and their efforts to protect Tenguu City all help Natsumi experience a Heel Realization and finally begin to trust others. Her negative way of thinking hasn't fully vanished, but at least she's a lot nicer to Shido and the other Spirits now.
  • The Transmogrifier: She can transform other people into whatever she pleases.
  • The Trickster: In her introductory arc, Natsumi turns Shido's life upside down by taking his form to make him look like a sex offender and making everyone he knows disappear one by one. She gets better after Shido manages to befriend her and she lets him seal her powers.
  • Unkempt Beauty: Her true form is a sullen little girl with unkempt hair and skin.
  • Vain Sorceress: Her Hot Witch appearance is a fake form she created so others wouldn't see her childlike and unkempt true appearance.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Her Angel's main power allows Natsumi to transform anything, including herself, into anything else within a range of at least 1 kilometer. She uses this several times on herself in volume 8, practically confusing the main characters in the process.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: After the events in volume 8 and most of volume 9, this is essentially what Shidou tries to do to get Natsumi to open up to him and the rest of the girls. It takes a while to stick.

"It was a Spirit's fault, that five years ago... my parents died."

A girl who's top in beauty, brains and brawn. Shido's classmate, who for reasons unknown harbors very strong feelings for him. Secretly holds the rank of Master Sergeant with the AST. She has vowed to destroy all the Spirits, and is very conflicted in her feelings about the depowered Spirits who she's coming to know.

At the end of Volume 9, Origami's intense thirst for revenge against the Spirits made her turn to Isaac Westcott, who was coincidentally looking for a capable fighter. Using new and improved Combat Realizers, she fights the Spirits once again in Volume 10, only to brought down by Tohka. It is then, in her defeat, that she pleads for even more power, prompting the enigmatic Phantom to make its appearance, granting her a Sephira crystal that turns her into a powerful Spirit. She sought out Kurumi to send her back in time so she could use her newfound powers to kill Phantom before it supposedly kills her parents, only to learn the horrifying truth that she killed them herself, and slipped into Inversion. Shido and Kurumi's further time travel would result in a new timeline where Origami's parents were saved on that fateful day, leading to Origami becoming a completely different person.


Tropes that apply to both incarnations

  • Attack Drone: "Kadour" has Origami break up her formation of cannons and send them individually after her opponent, each gaining a will of their own.
  • Barrier Warrior: One of her Angel's abilities makes her cannons of light surround her, blocking any incoming attack.
  • Beam Spam: Her main form of attack. "Shemesh" has her make the surrounding cannons of light spin around her and gather light particles, releasing them as a rain of energy blasts. This proves problematic for Tohka, who, as a close range warrior, can't even get near her for a good part of the fight.
  • Child Soldier: Joined the AST after her parents (or supposedly Shido in the modified timeline) were killed by a Spirit.
  • Cool Crown: Her Spirit form's Astral Dress has a large golden headdress which looks like a crown that's twice as large as her head. Similarly, her Angel's default form, Metatron, possesses several cannons of light that surround her and, when put together, resembles a giant crown. Fittingly, the 1st Sephira which she represents, Kether, is Hebrew for "crown". This changes into a black, spiky halo once Origami takes on her Inverse Form.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Played with, while her dark-dressed Inverse starts out as a dangerous force, her New Timeline self takes control of it and is more noble then her old timeline self.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: While she was a Badass Normal at the start of the story, Volume 10 elevates her to new heights by turning her into a Spirit capable of rivaling Tohka at her strongest.
  • Evil Costume Switch: When she turns into an Inverse Spirit, her Astral Dress changes from a white wedding dress to a revealing dark blue mourning dress.
  • Fairy Tale Wedding Dress: Origami's Astral Dress has the appearance of a wedding dress, reflecting her childhood dream of becoming a cute bride. According to Word of God, the idea of Origami in a wedding dress is "scary".
  • Fusion Dance: An item based example, in Volume 15, she summoned her Limited Astral Dress and her Angel while wearing the CR Unit Brynhildr to even the odds when she fights Artemisia. The next battle ups the ante by using Inverse Spirit's Reiryoku* to hold off Inverse Tohka.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: Her Astral Dress is a pure white wedding dress with some golden portions of armor, and is said to look angelic from far away.
  • Good Angel, Bad Angel: Volume 12 shows she has these representing her old and new timeline selves. The angel being her old timeline self in spirit form, and her devil being her new timeline self in her Inverse form. Unlike most cases of this trope, the angel is the Id and the Devil is the Superego.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Hepburn "Tobiichi" vs Nihon-Shiki "Tobiiti" The former is used in the light novels and anime, while the latter is used in all of the manga adaptations.
  • It Was a Gift: She's always wearing three clips in her right bangs, given from her late mother.
  • Light 'em Up: Origami's newfound Spirit powers allow her to generate beam-firing cannons and change their formation depending on which attack she's winding up. She can fold them into wings for flying, send them individually after the opponent, or even use them defensively.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: The original timeline's Origami is the stoic, vengeful, and sexually aggressive Dark Feminine, while the modified timeline's Origami is the kind, innocent, and chaste Light Feminine.
  • Leotard of Power: Her Wiring Suit worn to facilitate the use of her Territory as a Wizard.
  • Long-Range Fighter: Her fighting style as a Spirit focuses on firing countless beams of light while teleporting to safety when the enemy gets too close.
  • Mystical White Hair: Her white hair makes her stand out from most of the cast. The significance of her hair colour is strengthened when she becomes a Spirit.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: Her Astral Dress has a plunging neckline that nearly reaches her waist.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Played for laughs, Volume 12 shows us exactly how both her old timeline and new timeline selves struggle to co-exist properly in the same body. Her new timeline self for example reacts with horror to the lack of shame her old timeline's self shows.
  • Power Gives You Wings: One of the abilities of her Angel Metatron, "Mal'akh - Heavenly Wings", allows her to fold her cannons of light into wings and fly around at great speeds.
  • Red Baron: Her Angel Metatron is described as "Angel of Extinction." In contrast, her Demon King Satan is referred as "Demon King of Salvation".
  • Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Zig-zagged, in Volume 15 she both forgets and remembers Shido after Mukuro seals everyone's memories of him. Specifically, her old timeline self forgets him, but her new timeline ends up immune to the effects.
  • Sci-Fi Bob Haircut: She sports a bob haircut and her job is piloting a futuristic powered suit.
  • Showgirl Skirt: Her Astral Dress has the skirt cut much closer at the front to reveal her legs.
  • Split Personality: Origami's self from the original timeline transfers to the new timeline. After being sealed, they both manifest within Origami, the dominant half at any one moment is indicated by Origami's facial expressions (stoic expressions for the old timeline personality, and more natural expressions for the new timeline personality) and situations.) Volume 15 reveals it may also be linked to her Inverse Form when like Inverse Tohka, she doesn't forget Shido after Mukuro seals everyone's memories of him.
  • Stripperiffic: While her Spirit attire as Angel is quite tame by Spirit standards, her Inverse Form follows Dark Tohka's trend, baring her shoulders and midriff, as well as making her dress more skimpy.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: With herself ironically. Her old timeline's self is more of a tomboy due to her obsession with fighting Spirits and her unwelcome sexual advances towards Shido, but her long haired self in the new timeline is more of a sweet and demure girly girl.
  • Travel Transformation: Origami is able to turn herself into light and warp away to a safe location, although Tohka deduces that she can't use this continuously since the destination is predictable and unlikely to avoid a large attack. The ability is automatic, as even Origami herself was surprised the first time it happened.
  • Wave-Motion Gun: "Artelif", in which the cannons assemble into a circular motion and fire a beam of pure light.

Tropes that apply to the original timeline's Origami

  • Academic Athlete: She has top grades in the country and is very fit from military training.
  • Accidental Murder: Turns out that the Spirit responsible for her parents’ deaths was neither Efreet nor Phantom, but Origami herself; she was sent back in time by Kurumi, flew into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the supposed culprit Phantom, and vaporized her parents with a missed attack.
  • And Then John Was a Zombie: Her thirst for a power capable of defeating the Spirits causes Phantom to offer her a Sephira Crystal. She accepts, becoming the Spirit "Angel".
  • Arc Villain: She becomes a full-on villain in the second half of Season 3 (Volume 10). While it's mostly Ellen and Wescott pulling her strings, it's Origami's own actions and obsession for revenge for her parents that's driving the arc's narrative.
  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: When several of Shido's classmates are complaining about him (actually Natsumi) sexually harassing them, Origami is only concerned that he didn't do anything to her and wants him to start now.
  • Armed Legs: One her AST suits she wears sports a retractable heel blade. She uses it to become the second person to ever hurt Ellen Mira Mathers.
  • Badass Normal: She's the only human girl within Shido's harem yet she is able to stand up against powerful Spirits like Tohka. In Volume 10, she manages to defeat four Spirits in their limited Astral Dresses, but she still loses against full-power Tohka. Phantom's subsequent appearance turns Origami into a Spirit herself.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • In Volume 7, Origami's arrival stops Ellen and Jessica's double teaming of Mana, and Origami manages to injure the former, with a little aid from the Fraxinus' main cannon.
    • In Volume 9, after Ratatoskr and Shidou's successfully destroy two satellites that falling on the city, they're too far gone to handle the third satellite. Cue Origami one-shotting it in her brand new CR suit.
  • Broken Ace: She's one of the AST's finest, and has top grades at school. Despite this, her obsession with avenging her parents makes her ignore her orders in favour of charging the Spirits, and later leads to a Face–Heel Turn.
  • Broken Bird: Once upon a time, she was a cheerful girl who wanted to be a bride. Then her parents were killed by a Spirit and became a ruthless Child Soldier.
  • Byronic Heroine: Her motivation to kill Spirits, due to the deaths of her parents by one, is an integral part of her character. She's never really presented as a true antagonist, nonetheless she's dangerously obsessive and tends to endanger innocent lives in her pursuit of revenge. As a result, she literally becomes the very same Spirit that killed her own parents.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Towards Shido. Half of her antics revolve around stopping anyone (especially Tohka) from getting close in her own special way.
  • The Comically Serious: She almost never emotes, no matter how ridiculous the situation she finds herself in and is so dedicated to Shido she will do anything he asks without question as shown in the first OVA. The height of which was dressing up as a dog, getting down on all fours and using Shido's belt as a collar after he told her to in said OVA, all with a straight face and no sign of embarrassment even while everyone around (and everyone on the Fraxinus) looks on completely disturbed. This attitude is because, upon witnessing her parents died, she outsourced all her emotions to Shido, who begged her not to let this tragedy destroy her. Shido only meant that as pep-talk. He didn't expect a deeply traumatized girl to take his words so seriously.
  • Crazy-Prepared:
    • Specifically, her house. As in sentry guns are there to keep intruders out. There's even signal jamming.
    • When She thinks Shido is a siscon in season four, she randomly pulls out adoption papers from Hammerspace and declares Shido to be her big brother, probabaly as a callback to the OVA where Shido says he's a siscon to get Origami to break up with him.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: The death of her parents at a Spirit's hands is the cause of her undying hatred for Spirits and her extreme ruthlessness.
  • Demoted to Extra: She has a minor role in the movie and doesn't share any major scenes with Shido, other than interrupting his date with Tohka. Even Kotori and Mana were more pivotal to the story than her. Justified as she's still in the hospital from the events of season 2.
  • Despair Event Horizon: In Volume 10, realizing that she was the one who killed her own parents five years prior, she goes catatonic and Inverses like Tohka in Volume 7.
  • "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Misuzu Togashi is another member of "sweet ARMS", singing most of the franchise's opening and ending themes.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: When she realizes that she's the Spirit who unintentionally killed her own parents. When Shido later gets a close-up look at her resulting Inverse form, her face looks like a corpse.
  • Easily Forgiven: Apologizes to Shido in the classroom for shooting him. He immediately accepts (though it has more to do with the awkward atmosphere). Later antics involving military grade weapons in an amusement park that should have led to real disciplinary action instead earn her a two month suspension, though this one is justified in that it was due to Westcott interfering with the court martial process to give her a lighter sentence that what the military brass originally wanted. After her powers are sealed, while she's still got her rivalry with Tohka, the Spirits, Shido and Ratatoskr all hold nothing against her. Kaguya briefly considered payback for Origami nearly killing them after joining DEM, but gave it up when she realised that her sentiments weren't shared.
  • Emotionless Girl: She almost never emotes. Volume 11 explains she entrusted her emotions to Shido when she decided to obsess with revenge against Spirits, and takes them back after he seals her powers.
  • Extreme Doormat: She is willing to tolerate anything Shido might say or do if it means gaining his approval. In the first OVA, all of Ratatoskr's efforts to help Shido make her dislike him fail.
  • Face–Heel Turn: While always a Byronic Heroine, her fixation on finding her parents' murderer leads her to ally herself with Isaac Westcott, who provides her with new weaponry. It doesn't stick, as she has a run-in with Phantom, who turns her into a Spirit. The next volume's time travel plot effectively makes it so her shaky partnership with Westcott never happens.
  • Fantastic Racism: She hates Spirits because one killed her parents. It reaches a head in Volume 10, where she uses her equipment from DEM to try killing all the Spirits, even though they're officially no longer considered a threat after Shido seals them, and is disgusted when she realized that she was turned into a Spirit herself. The Spirit who killed her parents was her future self all along, which made her Inverse when she found out, but after Shido helps her move on in the new timeline, she's able to get along with the other Spirits (albeit maintaining a milder rivalry with Tohka).
  • Foreshadowing: She thinks the Spirit that killed her parents looks like an angel. Volume 10 is titled Angel Tobiichi, and she is the Spirit who killed her parents.
  • Forgotten First Meeting: It obvious that she's met Shido before, even if Shido can't remember it. Volume 11 reveals their first meeting was the result of Time Travel; Shido's words in the aftermath of her parents death are what made her the person she is in the present.
  • Future Me Scares Me: In a very ironic twist, Origami's hatred towards Spirits started because her own future self became a Spirit to take revenge and ended up emotionally scarring her younger self by accidentally killing her parents right in front of her.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Doesn't take it well when she learns which Spirit may have killed her parents at the end of season 1. She suspects it was Kotori, but it wasn't. And again when she realizes that SHE was the culprit who killed her parents. It's so bad that she follows Tohka's example from volume 7.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: She's a friend of Shido's who wants to destroy spirits where he wants to save them, protects him from Kurumi when she has every intention to hurt his loved ones, tries to kill his sister, then help him when he invades DEM to save Tohka. Ends up joining DEM when she starts to accept spirits and then becomes one herself, the door finally settles at Face after Shido seals her powers in the new timeline.
  • Hero Antagonist: Her desire to destroy Spirits clashes with Ratatoskr's peaceful methods, and some conflicts in the story could have been avoided if not because of her Revenge Before Reason attitude. She's no longer this as of the end of Volume 11, and is an ally to Ratatoskr by Volume 12.
  • Heroic BSoD: The revelation that she's the one who killed her parents hit her so hard that even after Inverting she becomes completely unresponsive to anything around her, akin to a corpse by Shido's words and unrecoverable by Kurumi's.
  • He's Back!: For most of Volume 11, Origami is Not Herself because her personality changed drastically due to the changes Shido made to the timeline. After Shido seals her Spirit powers, her original personality comes back and stays in control. When she walks into the classroom the next morning, she dries Shido's eyes with the swimsuit she's wearing, and reveals that she bought a ton of weird aphrodisiacs and love potions, making clear that Origami is back to her usual self.
  • Hour of Power: Origami has the tendency of running past the operational time limit with some of her stronger CR units, such as White Licorice and Mordred, which renders her immobile and powerless afterwards. The latest CR unit she got from Ratatoskr, Brynhildr apparently averts this by absorbing leftover magic from its surrounding to sharpen its blade.
  • Hunter Of Her Own Kind: In Volume 10, she decides that she's gotten too complacent with the Spirits and plans to kill them all. Her goal doesn't change even after unwittingly becoming a Spirit herself, simply adding herself to the list once all the others are taken care of.
  • Hypocrite: Due to her blind hatred towards Spirits, viewing them as uncontrollable beasts, Origami would occasionally end up harming others in a blind rage. Her lust for new power to defeat Spirits caused her to becoming a Spirit herself, turning her into the very thing she hated. Further down the line, she ultimately became the cause of her parent's deaths and the very catalyst to her hatred.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Her blue eyes match her very cold and stoic personality.
  • Instant Armor: In Volume 10, she initiates a fight against the sealed Spirits by calling forth her new personal CR-Unit, given to her by the DEM.
  • Instant Expert: As the first character to become a Spirit in the present story, she instinctively knew her Angel's name and powers before Tohka even made her realize that she'd just become a Spirit.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She has little respect towards Tohka because of her personal beef with the Spirits and sees her as a love rival for Shido, who is the only person she is even remotely nice to. Even so, she is not entirely a bad person and is capable of acting cordial to anyone who helps her protect Shido, like his sister Mana or (in the most extreme of circumstances) the Spirits. Upon laying her inner demons to rest and moving past her grief, she reaffirms her love for Shido and becomes friendlier with the Spirits, although she is not above competing with them for Shido's affection.
  • Knight of Cerebus: In Season 3, Origami's arc brings the story to a very low point.
  • The Lancer: After her permanent Heel–Face Turn, she becomes Shido's and Tohka's long-term companion, being their classmate who has known them both from the start. She conserves her stoic and shameless personality, making her a Foil to Shido's and Tohka's more emotional and easily flustered personalities.
  • Light Is Not Good: Her mental state after Phantom turns her into a Spirit with control over light couldn't be any worse; she deduces that Phantom, due to its association with Kotori's empowerment, might be responsible for her parents' deaths, and promptly goes on a crusade against the mysterious entity, even crossing time five years into the past to do it.
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: Whenever she's with Shido, Origami is trying to get into his pants or talking about all the perverted stuff she wants to do with him.
  • Love Epiphany: In the aftermath of Volume 11, she admits to Shido that all this time she didn't really love him, she was only using him as a Living Emotional Crutch. It's only after he helps her move on with her life is that she falls in love with him for real.
  • Loving Details: She knows very precise details about Shido's life, from the day he bought his lunchbox to his urea levels.
  • Misplaced Retribution: She attacks Kotori and later, Phantom after mistaking them for the Spirit that killed her parents. At the end of it, Origami discovers the one who killed her parents was herself when she accidentally got them caught up in her Roaring Rampage of Revenge towards Phantom.
  • Morality Chain: Despite her Stalker with a Crush antics, Shido is her last human connection. She decides to throw it away in Volume 10.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After blowing a hole in Shido (he gets better), and again in volume 10 after she realizes that she's the one that killed her parents.
  • Not So Stoic: One of the few times she shows strong emotion is upon seeing Efreet!Kotori for the first time. The only other persons around which she becomes more emotional are Shido, due to her feelings for him, and Tohka when their rivalry and her Clingy Jealous Girl tendencies are in full display.
  • One-Woman Army: She holds off Bayley and her DEM team by herself when she finds out that the latter had orders to kidnap Shido and Tohka (bonus point for piloting White Licorice to do so, a Flawed Prototype unit which was explicitly stated to make its pilot this). In her Mordred CR Unit, she is capable of overwhelming the whole party of Spirits in their limited Astral Dresses, although the tide quickly turned against her once Tohka regained her full power.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Deconstructed. She's a genuinely good fighter... for a human. She's outclassed by every Spirit, and has to use dangerous weapons like the White Licorice just to scratch them. Unfortunately, this encourages her to seek even greater power, culminating in joining forces with Westcott during Volume 9, and then become a Spirit herself in Volume 10.
  • Perverted Sniffing: She smells Shido's clothes when he's having physical education.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The stoic Blue to Tohka's emotional Red. In battle it's reversed, as Origami is impulsive and easily baited while Tohka displays calm judgment and patience.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: White hair, Sci-Fi Bob Haircut, pale skin and stoic. She even has the Child Soldier who drives Mecha vs Person of Mass Destruction thing going.
  • Revenge Before Reason: She attempts to kill Kotori by stealing weapons and going on the attack when her target is in a busy amusement park. Revenge is so much a part of her that when she realizes she's come to accept the Spirits, her response is to join DEM and launch a sneak attack.
  • The Rival: She views Tohka as a love rival and the feeling is fully reciprocated. The two constantly bicker and fight over Shido's affection and try to beat each other at everything even after the timeline change.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge:
    • She flies into a rage when she sees Kotori's Spirit form because the latter caused the town's fire on the day her parents died and she believes Kotori killed them because of it.
    • When she travels to the past, she goes mad with rage when she sees Phantom, under the belief that it was the Spirit who killed her parents, and goes into a rampage to try to kill it even though no attacks can even touch it. Then it's deconstructed when Origami discovers that her rampage of revenge for her parents' deaths was the reason her parents died in the first place.
  • Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Her attempts to find and kill the Spirit that murdered her parents ended up turning her into the Spirit that killed them, and convince her past self to repeat the Stable Time Loop.
  • Self-Made Orphan: After having gone back five years in time to fight Phantom in a fit of revenge for having turned her into a Spirit, a stray attack of hers ended up killing her parents. Which means that she was the one who killed her own parents five years ago, and caused her extreme hatred of Spirits.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl: She has no qualms about trying to seduce Shido, and will often get close to him and when making him take her temperature at the hospital, sits on his lap to do so. In the OVA, she even obeys his orders to put on a School Swimsuit with dog ears and tail, then act like a dog. In public. In Volume 12 she suggests arranging a nudist beach for Shidou, which Kotori has to tone down.
  • She Who Fights Monsters: As the story progresses, Origami's hatred for the Spirits is such that she takes increasingly drastic measures to obtain power in order to annihilate them, going from illegally taking possession of the White Licorice to allying herself with Isaac Westcott. This culminates in volume 10's encounter with Phantom, who gives her the power of a Spirit, at the cost of terrible revelations.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Tohka. The two constantly bicker and fight over the most trivial things while trying to get Shido's affection.
  • Skyward Scream: After realizing she is the murderer she's sought her whole life. Her scream takes up an entire page in the Japanese text.
  • Slipping a Mickey: If she ever makes something for Shido to consume, it's probably filled with aphrodisiacs.
  • The Snark Knight: She has shades of this, usually when insulting Tohka.
  • Something Only They Would Say: When Natsumi impersonates Shido, she can tell the difference when they're side by side, because Natsumi blinks 5 milliseconds faster and her standing angle was 0.2 degrees to the left.
  • Spanner in the Works: When fighting against Ellen in Volume 7, she manages to surprise her and leave a long deep cut across her abdomen. This wound makes Ellen unable to properly fight against Inverse Tohka, forcing her and Westcott to retreat.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Origami is by far the most obsessive of Shido's haremettes. She has a habit of secretly observing him on his way to school. Due to her stalking habits, she has detailed information about Shido from his ID data to his health check-up report. Exaggerated in the 4-koma spinoff (but not much).
  • The Stoic: She rarely shows emotions.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Extremely aloof on the outside, but also the most aggressive of Shido's pursuers.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: Ellen says that Origami's Inverse form has power on the same level as Inverse Tohka, meaning that if not stopped, she likely would've gone on to destroy all Japan.
  • Terse Talker: Origami isn't one for casual chat, having several short sentences with a flat tone.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Goes from a skilled, if reckless, AST Wizard to an extremely powerful Spirit within the span of Volume 10. By the end of that volume, she also taps into her Inverse Form, becoming just as dangerous as Tohka's own Superpowered Evil Side.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: By the time of Volume 10, she realizes that she got used to living with the sealed Spirits. However, because she still holds a grudge against them, she decides to put an end to that and attacks Tohka, Miku and the Yamai sisters, resolved to come back to a normal life. Even when she becomes a Spirit, and despite Tohka's offering to understand each other, Origami insists that she will reject all Spirits, herself included.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: At the start of the series, Origami acts like a vengeful Jerkass towards Spirits due to her hatred for them, and her Clingy Jealous Girl nature kicking in when she sees Shido with other girls. After spending more time with Shido, she mellows out somewhat, and often helps Shido more than hinder him. While she still obstructs Shido from time to time, she's much less stubborn and actually helps him out quite a bit, such as distracting the DEM team sent to capture Tohka and Shido during their contest with Miku. Unfortunately, she reverts to her initial behavior when she realizes she's going soft and accepts DEM's help to get a chance at killing all the sealed Spirits. After Shido changes the timeline and helps Origami come to terms with having caused her own parents' deaths, she lets go of her hatred for Spirits for good and officially joins Shido's Battle Harem. From then on, she gets along well with the other Spirits and becomes able to show concern for others besides Shido.
  • Too Kinky to Torture:
    • For lack of a better word, at least; she's so indifferent to her environment she'd do anything Shido asks her to do without hesitating even a second and absolutely not a care to other people's reactions. Which means that if he were to ask her to dress up an embarrassing costume and get on all fours, she'd do just that, as seen in the OVA (it involves a school swimsuit, dog ears/tail and a leash that is actually Shido's belt that she wraps around her neck herself).
    • In the Spirit King Game short story/drama CD, all the girls subject her to the same perverted demands that she put on them (like making Tohka expose her panties for a full minute) once they figure out that she's cheating her way into the king over and over, only for her to perform each one without batting an eye (as well as creeping out Shido when applicable, like showing off her panties to Shido when Tohka returns the aforementioned command). It's only when Shido simply asks her and Tohka to get along that she coughs up blood.
  • Trauma Button: One thing that almost always sets her off is her parents' deaths and anything that reminds her of it.
  • Troll: In order to assert that Shido is her lover, she'll constantly tease Tohka with various misunderstandings, even if they're made on the spot.
  • Troubled Fetal Position: After learning from her trip five years into the past that she's a Self-Made Orphan, she returns to the present as an Inverse Spirit in this position, completely unresponsive to anyone around her while her Demon King starts destroying the city. The Origami in the new timeline also finds her old timelime self like this within their mind, wracked with guilt over her parents' deaths.
  • The Unreveal: When Shido wonders how they will get someone to sing the band's vocals for the school festival, Origami simply activates a karaoke jukebox and starts singing. A cut later, everyone is astounded at how good she is, and she turns to the screen with a thumbs up.
    Origami: Anything for Shiori.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was an average elementary schooler who dreamed of being a beautiful bride. Now she has a vendetta she's willing to die to fulfill. Her Astral Dress is meant to look like a wedding dress and its Inverse is supposed to show how far she's fallen since that time.
  • Van Helsing Hate Crimes: She hates Spirits with passion and they're all evil monsters in her eyes, even though it's very clear that not all Spirits are bad. Eventually, she attacks all the sealed Spirits, even though she has already spent time with them as if they were allies and friends multiple times, because she can't allow herself to forget the Spirit that killed her parents. However, this very hatred is what leads her to accidentally kill her own parents in the past.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Even by AST standards, she really takes to heart her mission of eliminating Spirits, going as far as to engage them without her superior's orders. As the story progresses, however, it turns out that her motives are far darker.
  • When She Smiles: The cover of Volume 11 marks one of the few times Origami is genuinely smiling. Even if by that point she has triggered the Inverse Form of her newfound Spirit powers. She does smile right before Shidou seals her powers, finally able to move on from her past.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Has white hair and while she's not exactly evil, she's not a pleasant person and her strong hatred for Spirits make her a dangerous Anti-Hero.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: After learning she herself was the real cause of her parents' deaths, Origami goes out of control and is on a seemingly endless rampage. She even shot down Fraxinus. The worst part is Origami wasn't even intending to do any of this. She was just so mentally broken, that not only was she no longer in control of her powers, but sealing her in any capacity was out of the question too. If not for Kurumi sending Shido to the past, Origami could've gone on to destroy the entire world.
  • You Are What You Hate: Not only she becomes one of the Spirits she hates so much, she's the Spirit who killed her own parents in the first place.
  • You Killed My Father: This is the reason why she is so hell-bent on fighting the Spirits. After seeing Kotori's powers in action, she immediately suspects and tries to eliminate her. Turns out that wasn't the case, and that it was another Spirit who did it. Volume 10 reveals that spirit was herself.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: She delays Bayley and her DEM team from kidnapping Shido and Tohka during a festival in episode 6 and 7 of season 2. By herself.

Tropes that apply to the modified timeline's Origami

  • Alternate Identity Amnesia: The old timeline personality would take over the new timeline's body as an Inverse Spirit whenever she laid eyes on a Spirit. Once said Spirit was (supposedly) vanquished, the new timeline personality would regain consciousness, unaware of what just happened. This stops after she gets sealed.
  • Covert Pervert: She's much more modest and wholesome than the original Origami, but her other self's perverted habits still leak into her unconsciously when she's with Shido.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: In the new timeline, where her parents weren't killed by a Spirit (actually herself) and led a more well-adjusted life, she has much longer hair. After the old timeline personality regained control, she cut it back down to its original shoulder-length.
  • Helpless Good Side: Unlike her other personality, she's very sweet, innocent and genuinely only fought Spirits to help people. Unfortunately, she can't do anything to stop her Inverse Spirit self from taking over and attacking Shido and others. After Shido manages to seal her Spirit powers, she does prove to be useful when Mukuro erases Shido from her other self's memory and she takes control of the body to protect Shido from Inverse Tohka.
  • In Spite of a Nail: Shido managed to avert the Spirit Origami's murder of her parents in the past, but the new timeline's Origami still lost her parents in a car accident a year later, joined the Anti-Spirit Team (although not out of revenge), and became Shido's classmate.
  • Lecherous Licking: As a result of the original Origami's influence within her, she can't resist the urge to lick Shido's spoon when having a meal with him.
  • Limp and Livid: Whenever Origami in the new timeline saw a Spirit after becoming one herself, she would go quiet and stiff before entering her Inverse form and blasting the Spirit until its apparent demise.
  • Long Hair Is Feminine: This Origami is much more demure and traditionally feminine than the original. To reflect this, her hair is much longer to contrast the original's short hair.
  • Nice Girl: She's a lot nicer, more polite, and much less shameless than the regular Origami.
  • Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Due to the original Origami's personality controlling her, she ends up putting on a School Swimsuit cosplay during her date with Shido, much to her own embarrassment and confusion.
  • Shrinking Violet: She's quite a bit shyer than the old Origami. When it came to Shido asking her out on a date, she found herself constantly trying to find the best way to reply to it.
  • Stepford Smiler: In the new timeline where her parents still died a year later, she stands tall due to Shido giving her another year to spend with them and remembering the sacrifice his "older brother" made to give her that year.

"—The truth is... I never fall in love with anything but 2D..."
The Second Spirit that is mentioned by Kurumi near the end of Volume 7 to be the only one who knows the whereabouts of the First Spirit. Kurumi had attacked DEM on two occasions to rescue her, only to found out that she had escaped to the Tenguu City on Volume 12. She made her proper debut in Volume 13.
  • A-Cup Angst: She once tried to have Shido remove an envelope from her chest, only to fall into despair when it simply falls to the floor.
  • Adaptational Modesty: Her Astral Dress is not see-through in the anime.
  • The Alcoholic: Nia is a pretty heavy drinker; the datebook lists alcohol as her favorite thing, and Shido found that her fridge was full of nothing but bottles (she'd rather eat instant food than spend valuable time cooking). She boasts that being a Spirit has prevented any adverse effects on her health.
  • Berserk Button: If you're going to cosplay a character she likes, get their personality down to the slightest detail. She actually beats up Shido and ends their date just because he broke out of Tokiya's character to try kissing her.
  • Body Horror: Relatively subtle, but those patches of gray on her body in her Inverse Form are actually papers sewn onto her skin. That has got to hurt.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Her casual outfits and interests are hardly feminine, and she has short spiky hair comparable to Shido's. Among the Spirits, only Origami's is anywhere near as short. Word of God says that she was designed to avoid conventions for light novel girls.
  • Broken Bird: In Volume 14, she tells Shido that before she became a Spirit, there was an event that caused her to lose all hope in living.
  • Butt-Monkey: Some of it is comedic (like MARIA constantly belittling her), some of it not so much (captured and tortured by DEM for 5 years, then losing her powers for most of the story).
  • Cosplay Otaku Girl: During her date with Shido, she invites him to pick out an outfit for her to wear (he picks a nurse outfit), and Shido himself later manages to arouse her by cosplaying as her favorite character... at least until he broke out of character.
  • Cursed with Awesome: Even more so than the other Spirits as she actually hates having her powers, and Rasiel made it too hard to trust people due to fearing the curiosity of using its ability on them and finding unpleasant parts of their past.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She was captured by DEM and subjected to Cold-Blooded Torture for five years to make her go into her Inverse Form, but she managed to stay sane through it all. She finally managed to escape when Kurumi rescued her.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: What happens to her after losing most of her Crystal. She can only use her limited Astral Dress at most, and her Angel gives mostly incomprehensible information when asked. This prevents her or Shido from just looking up anyone’s Mysterious Past or preparing for DEM’s threats, and keeps her Reality Warper powers off limits.
  • The Glasses Gotta Go: Her glasses disappear in her Spirit form, to exchange her nerdy look for a Naughty Nun outfit.
  • Great Big Book of Everything: Her Angel Rasiel is compared to a "super powerful search engine". It does have some limitations: it can't alert her to danger because it only gives her the info she's directly asking for (which allowed Ellen to capture her through an ambush), it can't see the future or people's thoughts, and it can't answer subjective questions.
  • Heroic BSoD: When she remembers the torture she endures, things go haywire pretty quickly.
  • Hey, You!: She addresses Shido as "Boy".
  • Holy Halo: Season 4 depicts her Inverse Form as possessing a small, spiky, black halo over her head.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: She lost her memory like most of the Spirits, however due to Rasiel's powers she was able to remember what she forgot, including that she used to be human. She was also made to forget the Cold-Blooded Torture Westcott put her through, as he determined that she would go catatonic before she inverted. He waited until she started to open her heart to Shido before restoring her memories, this time making her Inverse.
  • Meaningful Name: Her surname contains the kanji for "book", fitting not only her manga career and general otaku hobbies, but also the form of her Angel.
  • Meta Girl: Being a mangaka, she often observes writing elements within the story.
  • A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: A variation; Rasiel cannot actually read people's minds, but she can look up everything the person has said or done. Nia ended up closing her heart to humans after reading into one too many unpleasant pasts, but deep down, she'd rather not have this ability to pry into peoples' lives so she could try to make friends again.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: Feels this way toward Kurumi, who took her Sephira Crystal from Westcott in Volume 19 while still having her own time powers.
  • Naughty Nuns: Her Astral Dress is a nun's habit. Made of GAUZE. She even lampshades how revealing it is.
  • Near-Death Experience: She's the first Spirit that almost died due to Artemisia taking out her Qlipha Crystal while Inversed. Shido only managed to save her by sealing her allowing the cycle of Spirit power to slowly heal her, and only because Tohka was able to notice she still had any left.
  • Nerf: A notable example compared to the other Spirits, as her Angel is left incomplete after most of her Crystal is taken, she is literally only able to access her limited Astral Dress at best.
  • The Nicknamer: She rarely ever addresses anyone by their actual names. Examples include Natssun (Natsumi) and Manacchi (Mana, who believes that she's being compared to an aquatic mammal). She even nicknamed her Angel Rasiemon.
  • Nun Too Holy: Her Astral Dress makes her look like a nun, but she's a heavy drinker with a lewd sense of humor.
  • Older Than They Look: Nia looks around 18-19, but she stopped aging when she became a Spirit over 27-28 years ago.
  • The Omniscient: Nia's S-ranked Angel, <Rasiel>, is a book that can give the user information about anything that has ever happened in the world, no matter where and when. Nia describes this ability as "a super powerful search engine", where one has to focus on the sought-after information before arriving at an answer.
  • Otaku: She is a huge fan of anime and manga.
  • Red Baron: Fittingly, her Angel Rasiel is described as "Tome of Revelation." Similarly, her Demon King Beelzebub is described as "Tome of Divine Corruption"
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her Inverse Form is depicted in the anime as having deep red eyes.
  • Rescue Introduction: She's first seen in the anime when Kurumi infiltrates the DEM facility that held her captive to rescue her.
  • Rewriting Reality: Everything written is Rasiel is true, so reality will contort itself to whatever she writes (or draws) in it.
  • Riddle for the Ages: The exact impetus for Phantom turning her into a Spirit is never revealed.
  • Safety in Indifference: Having access to infinite personal information about people made Nia reluctant to care about others because she knows everyone has a dark secret that can make her become disillusioned. Even when she tries to go on a date with Shido, she admits she can't bring herself to open up to a real person and can only love fictional characters because these won't betray her. Eventually, Shido's caring bond with the Spirits touches her enough for her to be willing to give him a real chance. Ironically, it was this same indifference that protected her from becoming an Inverse Spirit after DEM tortured her for five years.
  • Secret-Keeper:
    • She knows a lot about the First Spirit and avoids sharing it with people she doesn't trust with it. This is the reason why Kurumi looks for her.
    • Downplayed in regards to Elliot having helped found the DEM and summoning the First Spirit, as she only hides it up until the group meets him in person.
  • Sequential Artist: She works as a manga artist, under the Pen Name Soji Honjo, and is the author of one of Shido's favorite manga, "Silver Bullet".
  • Sexy Slit Dress: Her Astral Dress has a long skirt with a slit up to the top of her right thigh.
  • Squishy Wizard: Ratatoskr’s data puts her physical stats very low. While Rasiel has amazing information gathering, its combat abilities are almost nonexistent, though this doesn’t seem to apply as much to Beelzebub. She spends the Spirit battle royale sneaking around trying to team up with someone because she knows her combat abilities are pretty much dead last.
  • Stepford Smiler: Nia is outwardly a joyful, friendly woman, but deep down feels distrust toward "3D" humans after seeing one too many unpleasant backgrounds with Rasiel.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Rasiel knows everything, and can bend future events to an extent. This is on top of the abilities displayed by Beelzebub, Rasiel's counterpart to create monsters made of its papers and trap people in an alternate reality made by fictional stories. It's no wonder such a power was taken away by DEM before Shido could add it to his Spirit power arsenal.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: Just like Tohka and Origami, Nia enters her Inverse Form from negative emotions as a result of a Memory Gambit Westcott pulled on her. Unlike them however, Westcott managed to steal it from her and take its power, so she likely no longer has access to it.
  • Superpower Lottery: With her Angel, there are very little things Nia cannot achieve by herself. Its powers are even compared to a god's by Kotori and Shido. The possibilities are only really inhibited by her pacifistic nature, as she doesn't even want to provide information to someone who would abuse it.
  • The Tease: She repeatedly flusters Shido with acts like putting an envelope with his pay in Victoria's Secret Compartment (pity she isn't large enough to pull it off), and exposing herself while half-undressed as she changes to a cosplay outfit of his choice.
  • Timeline-Altering MacGuffin: Her Angel can set how events will happen a few minutes into the future.
  • Took a Level in Idealism: At first, Nia can't bring herself to open up and trust people because she fears she'll be disappointed if Rasiel makes her see their dark and ugly secrets. Shido and the other Spirits work hard to make a doujinshi about their story to appeal to her, but what really moves Nia is using Rasiel to realize the feelings of love and trust that Shido inspires in the girls are genuine. Thanks to this, Nia opens her heart enough for Shido to seal her and save her life after Westcott steals her Sephira Crystal.
  • Winged Humanoid: The anime depicts her Inverse Form as having black wings sprouting from her lower back.
  • The Worf Effect: Her Inverse form is subjected to this twice, first by Shido who almost managed to return Nia back to normal with his multiple Angels, and then by Artemisia, Westcott's newest Dragon who removed her Qlipha Crystal singlehandedly, leaving Nia with Drama-Preserving Handicap.
  • Yaoi Fangirl: When she goes to the bookstore with Shido, she gets really excited on finding the yaoi section, throwing a couple volumes into the shopping basket Shido is carrying, and borderline squeeing.

"All in all, Shidou, thy hypocrisy is like a maze lest I be snared. Cease ever returning and begone."
"Lo, Nushi-sama. Dost thou adore Muku?" (after her emotions were unlocked)
The tenth Spirit to make her debut into the series on Volume 14, she had locked away her emotions and secluded herself in space until she was rudely approached by DEM and retaliated by sending the warships's debris across the globe.
  • The Aloner: Mukuro isolates herself in outer space because she wants to be alone. And she will go to extreme lengths if it means protecting her solitude.
  • Ambiguous Innocence: What makes Mukuro a dangerous and ultimately pitiable character is that everything she does is born from a lack of moral understanding and fear of being hurt by being abandoned again. The latter of which is the reason why she sealed her emotions to begin with.
  • Anime Chinese Girl: She ties her hair together in an odango hairstyle and her Astral Dress resembles a Qipao.
  • Antiquated Linguistics: She has the tendency to speak in archaic style, before and after her emotions were unlocked. After her emotions were unlocked, she address Shidou as Nushi-sama, a polite form of honorific used by women in Edo period to addressing males (typically their husband or master).
  • Armor-Piercing Question: She questions Shido about the Spirits he sealed actually had safer lives as a result. Shido spends much of Volume 14 in distress because he feels that they're in fact put in greater danger with their reduced power.
  • Attack Reflector: Not quite, but Michael's ability to manipulate space allows Mukuro to redirect every physical aggression right back at her opponent. She destroys the first wave of DEM spaceships attacking her through this method.
  • Badass Boast: "There exists not an angel capable of surpassing Muku's Michael."
  • Batman Can Breathe in Space: She can survive the harsh environment of outer space solely due to her Spirit powers and Astral Dress.
  • Big Sister Worship: Flashbacks show Mukuro was very attached to her adopted older sister and learned about constellations from her. When her older sister grew to hate her for erasing everyone's memories of her, Mukuro was so distraught that she locked away her own emotions and memories.
  • Boob-Based Gag: Mukuro's chest is often noted for being incredibly large relative to her youthful face and stature. During their date, Shido lets Mukuro try on Kotori's clothes, but they're too tight for her large bust. Kotori gets annoyed with Shido for reminding her how flat-chested she is compared to Mukuro.
  • Braids of Action: She compromises with Shido to let him tie her hair into a braid (which is long enough to tie around her neck like a scarf) because she initially wasn't willing to cut it.
  • Celestial Body: Parts of her Astral Dress resemble the void of space, complete with constellations.
  • Cleavage Window: Her Astral Dress exposes her large bust.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: After falling in love with Shido, Mukuro wants his complete and undivided attention, even more so than Tohka and Origami. She does not take it well when Shido says he loves all the Spirits equally, even going as far as sealing everybody else's memories of him so he belongs only to her.
  • Cool Key: Her Angel, Michael, takes the form of a giant key.
  • Cosmic Motifs: Her surname contains "star" (hoshi), her Astral Dress is decorated with constellations, her Angel includes a star design in its key ring, and she was introduced floating up in outer space.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Blond hair and gold eyes.
  • Death from Above: She enters the story by sending the debris of DEM spaceships she wrecked upon 42 points across the globe.
  • Emotion Suppression: She used Michael on herself to seal her own emotions because she didn't want to feel sadness or loneliness.
  • Emotionless Girl: Due to using Michael to lock away her emotions, she speaks and thinks like a robot.
  • Foil: To Shido, of all people. Both grew up while being abandoned by their birth parents and eventually entered a foster family. But while Shido had his closed heart opened by his new family, Mukuro choose to seal her own afterwards. They both gained a sister as an adoptive sibling, but where Shido got Kotori as a younger sister who became a Spirit, Mukuro gained an older sister and was the one who became a Spirit.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: Her hair, eyes, and Sephira Crystal are all golden, and she possesses the most absurdly powerful Angel in the series aside from Mio's.
  • Happily Adopted: Subverted in her backstory. Mukuro was an orphan who lived happily with her adoptive family and she especially loved her new older sister. That happy life only lasted until Mukuro grew so jealous of her sister's friends that she used her Spirit powers to make everyone forget her. As a result, her adoptive family came to see her as a monster and Mukuro ran away.
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard: In Volume 18, Mio's Ain Soph manipulates her wormholes so she ends up stabbing herself with her own Angel.
  • I Am Not Left-Handed: Her Angel in "Shifuru" form increases her already ridiculous base abilities further. She can fight evenly against Inverse Tohka when it is active, and could've delivered a lethal blow with "Jerez" had Shidou not shielded Inverse Tohka and Origami from it.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: Mukuro is ultimately just a lonely girl so desperate for love that she'll resort to extremes whenever she thinks she's secured it.
  • Important Haircut: In Volume 22, she resolves to "leave the past behind" as she has Shido cut her hair to the length seen in images of the previous chapter.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: After her emotions are unlocked, she tells Shido that she's so thankful to him that she accepted his self-introductory offer* to become his "flesh slave" and asked about its meaning, much to the shock to everyone around.
  • Intimate Hair Brushing: She only lets the people she trusts and loves the most to touch her hair, as seen when she allows Shido to comb and braid her hair for their date. Before him, her adoptive sister liked to brush her hair and gave her the double bun hairstyle that Mukuro still wears in the present.
  • Lack of Empathy: Justified when her emotions are sealed. She has no problem with bombarding the planet with spaceship debris in retaliation to DEM's attack on her, and is willing to annihilate the entire human race (by stopping Earth's rotation) simply because Shido interferes with her desire to be alone.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Michael can lock away memories. She did to herself to forget why she locked her emotions and went into space, and later does it to everyone's memory of Shido so she can have him all to herself (which she also did to her adoptive family, with their consequent rejection of her leading to her aforementioned self-exile).
  • Meaningful Name: Her surname contains "hoshi" (star), befitting the constellations on her Astral Dress and her initial dwelling in outer space.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Unintentionally giving Shido a potentially fatal injury hits her so hard that she starts to inverse, but Shido manages to stop it by sealing her powers.
  • Never Be Hurt Again: She once had a happy adoptive family, but then she became a Spirit and used her powers to make people forget her family members so no one could steal their attention away from her. Obviously, her family didn't react well to this and called her a monster. Not wanting to be hurt and rejected by people, Mukuro isolated herself in space and refused all contact with humans until Shido wins her over.
  • Nobody Touches the Hair: Her mood turns sour the moment Shido innocently suggests that she could benefit from a haircut. When Inverse Tohka happens to cut off a few strands, she enters her Super Mode intent on utterly annihilating her. After her sealing, she gives Shido permission to cut her hair, explaining that only those she considers family are allowed to touch it.
  • Power Limiter: Her Angel, Michael, normally looks like a giant key, but its true form is that of a halberd, which can be accessed by activating "Shifuru" ("Release"). This form utilizes Michael's abilities to its fullest extent.
  • Red Baron: Her Angel Michael is also referred as "Seal-Removing Lord"
  • Safety in Indifference: She sealed her emotions away so she wouldn't ever be hurt again. The result is an utter indifference to what's going on around her right up until Shido unlocks her emotions.
  • Semantic Superpower: One half of Michael's abilities, "Segva" is the power to "lock" the traits of the object the Cool Key touches. It can lock anything from physical capabilities to abstract concepts, she used the ability to lock her own emotions in the past. It can disable machines, lock away emotions and memories, and stop Earth's rotation.
  • Shout-Out: Her Angel's design and powers heavily resemble a keyblade from Kingdom Hearts.
  • Showgirl Skirt: Her Astral Dress is a short qipao with two long tails at the back.
  • Space Master: The other half of Michael's abilities, "Rataibu" ("Unlock") is to tear open wormholes in the fabric of space-time, allowing Mukuro to send any object (herself included) to anywhere she wants. She uses this to teleport herself, redirect attacks, and summon meteors from who knows where as projectiles.
  • Story-Breaker Power: With Michael's Semantic Superpower and Space Master abilities, Mukuro is perhaps the single most powerful Spirit shown thus far (which is fitting, considering her Angel's name). At full power, she can even stop the rotation of the Earth, which would wipe out the entire surface life.
  • Super Mode: Using "Shifuru" on herself gives her a warrior Astral Dress and turns Michael into a halberd. All of her stats get boosted (except intelligence), and she can fight on par with (and earn praise from) Inverse Tohka.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: Defied. When going full-on Yandere for Shido, Mukuro very nearly goes into her Inverse form and attempts to stop the Earth's rotation. Fortunately. Her transformation was averted thanks to Shido talking sense into her at the last moment.
  • Superpower Lottery: Shido comments that her danger level can be compared to, if not outright surpasses, Kurumi and Inverse Spirits. She's even able to fight evenly against Inverted spirits as seen during her fight with Inverse Tohka in volume 15.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a rather scathing one to Shido, by calling him out on his hypocrisy by claiming to save the Spirits by sealing their powers, while in reality he makes them more vulnerable to threats such as Deus Ex Machina Industries.
  • Thinking Up Portals: Mukuro can open up spatial vortexes that can be used to teleport herself, summon forth meteorites, and redirect incoming attacks.
  • Third-Person Person: She refers to herself as "Muku".
  • The Unfettered: Because of her lack of emotions, Mukuro isn't really mentally affected by anything.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By sealing off everyone else's memory of Shido, Tohka's subconscious feeling of losing someone important causes her to once again slip into her Inverse form, who immediately goes after Shido's head in retaliation for the "humiliation" he put her through last time.
  • Violently Protective Girlfriend: She doesn't hesitate to stand up to Inverse Tohka to protect Shido.
  • Yandere: When Shido does manage to reach her heart in volume 15, Mukuro takes love so seriously that she locks away everyone else's memories of him so she can have him for herself, and later tries to stop the Earth's rotation and end all life so nobody can get between them. Luckily, it becomes subverted when Shido talks sense into her and Mukuro abandons her possessive behavior.
