It is often said that Tsukiko is best defined as a odd combination of personality traits. As a adolescent girl her cheerfulness tends to be on high levels but at the same time she has a streak of sleepiness that often compliments it in a truly odd way. When one sees her a person might mistake her sleepy nature as a form of absentness, a bit like a air-headed person. She often seems out of touch with the things around her, doing things at her pace and the way she wants it to be. Her sleepy nature also sometimes makes her a bit of a lazy person. When she doesn’t feel encouraged or motivated enough she will often try to avoid dealing with things and in the worst cases decide just to sleep on the nearest comfortable spot. Her sleepy-headed nature indeed is very unusual but some believe it is because of her unique condition that she is often in the mood to take a nap. Yet shockingly enough her natural awareness compliments this state of vulnerability, able to wake up with the snap of a finger in a natural state of sleep, meaning that unless she is under the effect of a genjutsu or a poison that she is likely to wake up at unpredictable moments, but she does often complain that she is still half-asleep then…
At the same time Tsukiko appears to be someone who is happy-go-lucky on most occasions. Despite her original purpose in this world being the destruction of the border between the realm of dreams and reality she is more occupied with surviving her daily schedule of training and other stuff while gaining as many naps as possible between them. Of course even a sleepy-head has to do something when she is awake right? Sadly it appears the young girl her personality is flavored with bits of mischievousness that are certain to make things more interesting. Like a Kitsune Tsukiko is playful and carefree, enjoying to play around with people and tease them, usually with silly comments and the like but also a occasional prank. Of course like a animal she knows when danger is there, or rather when a prank is best avoided but she has to admit that the resistance to do so is a bit on the low side. Yet just like a peeled onion has many layers so does she, and the current information also touches the surface of her being.
Perhaps it is because her powers resemble those of the people known as the Nara but Tsukiko is a bit of a planner. She often indulges herself into forming strategies and tactics on how to deal with things, from daily schedules of her sleep pattern to complicated guides on how to complete her next training as effective as possible. Yet her laziness settles in during that time so she usually only develops them during day-dreaming or naps, but how she remembers them is a tightly kept secret. Tsukiko, despite her past existence is a relationships-bound person. She draws strength from the bonds she has with people around her and might be a bit of a attention seeker. In that aspect she might get easily jealous if she is temporarily taken out of the spotlight, yet to get the attention is so much work so she prefers her naps just a tiny bit above it.
Speaking about bonds, it seems Tsukiko is slightly obsessed with her search for renegade spirits. Despite her inability to have found even a single one of them she actively searches for them during her free moments and therefore often can be seen as if she is looking longingly for something. She obviously has a reason for this. Not only are they of her kin, but she also consider it necessary to warn them of the people hunting them but more importantly they might bring her closer to finding her sister and protecting her from the Kimura clan. Yet she fears that slowly her existence in this new world is dividing her attention from her real task, something that sometimes haunt her thoughts.
As a kunoichi Tsukiko is the type who is loyal yet has difficulty accepting the aspect of a mission taking priority above your teammate’s, or friend’s life. In that sense Tsukiko also desires the role of the strategist more than the fighting. Not only is fighting a bit tiresome but she prefers to help her friends more from the back-line to ensure success rather than being a piece on the field. Yet one shouldn’t underestimate Tsukiko for within battle she can be a cold-blooded force to deal with. As a person with a affinity toward the shadow element Tsukiko approaches things calmly but perhaps due to the nature of a spirit within her world she is prone to moments of ferocity. It isn't necessary the type where one loses control but rather a over-eager approach to things, as if given a adrenaline rush. Some do say that during that time she is more brutal and some go as far as saying she might be a beast. Of course those moments rarely happen because who lets a teenager get into such a life-risking situation?
Finally on aspect of romance Tsukiko is a bit on the naive side. Due to the fact she has no past experiences of it, and her lack of motivation in chasing down the path of love she is even uncertain what her interests might be. It is a bit the same with friendship, Tsukiko tends to be open in a innocent way, befriending people in a cheerful and direct manner. She isn’t the type to hold back on what she is thinking or feeling so in that sense she is a bit of a odd type of person to deal with. Yet all things go at her own pace, and just don’t wake her up too early or she might snap with her teeth at you, naps are sacred for her…
