"I'm a good person; she is a fiend."— Tsukuyomi

Tsukuyomi (ツクヨミ) is a character from the Sister's Story series, portrayed by GUMI.

She is the older twin sister of Amaterasu. Both her and her sister are named after gods in the Shinto religion.

She was killed by her sister on their 7th birthday after a petty argument between them both.

A decade after her death, she returns to haunt her sister, disguised as Amaterasu's original self.

Appearance[]

Tsukuyomi is modeled after GUMI.

In the PV of Watashi no Nanatsu no Oiwai ni, Tsukuyomi is shown as a young child with green hair in a bob cut alongside short bangs that show her forehead.

She wears glasses and a teal kimono with a grey obi and sashes, ending with white stockings and a golden hairpin, matching with her sister.

In the Watashi to Hitotsu no Shinzou wo and the Watashi wa Futari no Oiwai ni PVs, she is shown as a young adult, still bearing the same appearance, only now without her glasses. This is because it is Amaterasu disguised as her and doesn't require glasses, unlike Tsukuyomi herself.

When fused with Amaterasu, she has a side ponytail with asymmetrical bangs. Her glasses are also missing.

Canonically, she possesses the same hairstyle, clothes, and appearance in general; the only difference is the fact that her hair is gray.

Personality[]

Not much can be known about her personality, but She called Amaterasu a "hannya" as soon as she saw how her sister was envious of her, which can be incorporated as Tsukuyomi being sort of hostile to those against her, but, at the same time, it is seen that she was favored being an obedient daughter, thus beautiful in the eyes of her peers.

She can also be considered unforgiving and intelligent, as she returns later as a vengeful spirit seeking revenge, annotating a plan to disguise herself as the original Amaterasu to haunt her sister and confuse her immensely, leading her to kill herself.

Relationships[]

Amaterasu[]

Tsukuyomi is the older sister of her. Not much can be known about their relationship in detail, but assumptions can be made.

On one side, it could be said that Tsukuyomi loved Amaterasu, for when she suffered from her speech problems, she offered her help, and Amaterasu reciprocated by helping her with her poor eyesight.

On the other, it can be said that they hated each other, as Amaterasu was envious of Tsukuyomi's beauty, and Tsukuyomi was aware of such, calling her sister a "hannya."

Not to mention that as soon as they fought over something petty, it led Amaterasu to snap and stab Tsukuyomi through the abdomen with a staff, killing her instantly.

But it's possible that they did not hate each other to the point of resentment, and still loved each other very much.

Theories[]

Trivia[]

Conceptualization and Origin[]

She is named after the moon god of the Shinto religion, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto. Coincidentally or not, another character shares this name, too.
She was originally named "Kotoko" (琴子) but was renamed to fit GUMI better.
- From Japanese 琴 (koto), which refers to a type of musical instrument similar to a harp, combined with 子 (ko) meaning "child".
