Tsurugi Character in Tsuwamono | World Anvil

Tsurugi

Soul of the Severing Blade

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (a.k.a. 草薙の剣)

Summary

A Sheele formed from an interaction between the soul of Aotsuki Tsukamoto, devoted of Amaterasu and Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a piece of the Imperial Regalia of Japan. Tsurugi still carries the legendary blade, gifted to Amaterasu by Susano'o, upon her back, although its physical form has been slightly altered to fit the modern vision of Japan.   Like the blade that is her namesake, Tsurugi's personality is harsh and cutting. She speaks in sharp tones and expects great nobility from those around her, especially when it comes to paying proper deference to her master. In Tsurugi's eyes, Aotsuki has collected the three Regalia of Japan, and is therefore Emperor. Any circumstantial evidence to the contrary is dismissed as unimportant. Although demanding, Tsurugi is not stubborn to the point of stupidity, and will do her utmost to uphold any order given to her by Aotsuki. She's also inherited a notable bit of the warmth of the Sun in her otherwise cold manner, already showing the beginnings of affection toward her master's wife, Tokku-hime.  

Unique Abilities

Severing Orochi: Tsurugi may, at will, as a passive action, transform back into the weapon Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, appearing immediately in her master's hand. She cannot use any of her sheele abilities while in this form, but may communicate telepathically with her wielder. In addition, while in either form, all damage dealt by Tsurugi against Dragons or Demons results in an automatic critical.
