[Background]
heeeere

[Personality]

If the very base of a weapon's and meister's success and strength is cooperation, then Tsubaki is the very personification of this sort of relationship. Her soul is described as "very cooperative with a lot of space to accept people", and this isn't hard to see. Her very partnership with Black*Star is indicative of this. His personality is loud, obnoxious, and she clearly finds him hard to handle sometimes, and Maka wonders once why Tsubaki chose him when she could probably partner with anyone she wants. But as Tsubaki says later, his personality—which she merely describes as "completely silly"—is fine to her just as it is, and that is their style of partnership.

With Black☆Star, Tsubaki yields to his orders most of the time (as is considered a weapon's duty to be the more passive and let the meister make the decisions), and she finds herself constantly apologising for his faults and scenes even if she has nothing to do with it. Even unrelated to their partnership she'll cook for him, reward and cajole him into studying. For reasons like this she is sometimes considered a pushover. Her brother Masamune the Demon Sword mocked her most notably for this for being the "scentless flower": a play on her name, which refers to the camellia flower and is known both for being scentless and being "sad even in death". As a child, she hid her own emotions and desires to adjust for her brother's—perhaps out of pity for her inheriting the ability he should have had, but perhaps in her basic "scentless" personality.

However, as Tsubaki argued back, the camellia—or at least she herself—does have a "scent". While her personality is generally passive, it is not pushed around. Shinigami-sama observed that while Tsubaki is a powerful weapon, her greatest strength also lies in her soul. She screamed to Masamune that she did have a scent and that she would defeat him no matter what, killing her own brother as she had been prepared to do from the beginning despite how hard it would be. As Shinigami-sama said, she is someone who "doesn't make decisions rashly and is even prepared to die"—definitely not the makings of a pushover. When push comes to shove, Tsubaki will put her foot down and will make the judgements she sees to be best.

It is rare that she does this when Black☆Star gives her an order, for she is a a weapon and he the meister, so she must generally trust his judgement even when she finds it dangerous. However, when she judges his life is seriously at stake she is known to refuse an order, caring more for his safety than for their relationship as weapon and meister. This is only one way that shows how much he means to her. She can see past a lot of his facades, knowing that he doesn't want to stand out by people's having a grudge against him but rather for being someone to admire. She was unable to hide her emotions about her fight with her brother around him even though she tried, breaking down and crying in his arms. She's admitted to wanting to go "a step further" with Black☆Star for she can be herself around him, not hiding her emotions like she typically does around others. She gets irritated with him when he's inappropriate, calls him embarrassing when he goes home with her, and yet she's clearly proud to have him as a partner.

When Liz praises Patti, Tsubaki says she'd be the same about Black☆Star. She defends him to Maka and makes the claim that friends don't have to understand each other completely all the time. She's the most mature of her friends, often resolving conflicts (and occasionally losing her temper when she finds they're too out of line, like when Maka and Soul argue—another situation that shows her cooperative soul, when she yells that no one will get anywhere because two people refuse to listen to the other's opinion). And when she shares a serious moment with Black☆Star, she teases him for it rather than blushing or being unsure how to react, showing her confidence in their relationship. She knows how he is and will even gently prod him back to his obnoxious self. He is the most important person to her, and she trusts him completely.

But Tsubaki has the ability to see the good in anyone, not just her loud and irritating partner. She does her best to talk Mifune into joining Shibusen, for example, and appeals to Shinigami-sama to forgive Kim and Angela for the crime of being witches, knowing that their hearts were in the right places. She does seem to be the "gentlest" in a way of her teammates, playing with Fire and Thunder and earning Angela's trust enough to be asked about whether or not Mifune will return. She likes cooking and cleaning, and she blushed when Mifune called her a good sword.

However, Tsubaki seems to have confidence in her ability to form a strong partnership with Black☆Star, claiming that enemies numbered at 300 didn't "seem a problem". She's determined in battle and quick enough to make decisions when Black☆Star sometimes fails, though mostly to protect his life rather than make the offensive decisions—though she will occasionally do this too, or call openings to his attention.

Tsubaki does also have a very interesting side to her that is not shown until her trip into the Book of Eibon when the chapter of lust switches everyone's gender. Upon learning that the most lustful among them will be the last to return to his or her original sex, Tsubaki immediately becomes terrified that she will be embarrassed by being the last one standing—and indeed she even outlasts Liz, proving that, despite her quiet and reserved demeanour, Tsubaki is actually the most lustful amongst the Spartoi group. It could be because she's simply one of the oldest and simply has the most active hormones, but it's still very interesting to note that she even beat out Liz for the title.

Despite Tsubaki's less than demure parts of her personality, however, they are not the bases for her behaviour. In general she is calm, rational, and apologetic—a very traditional Japanese girl, one might say—but beneath that she truly does have a strong, trusting, and overall good soul.

[Abilities]

Tsubaki is, most simply, a "Weapon", one with the ability to transform into a literal weapon and be wielded by a Meister. Her standard form is that of a chain scythe, but she inherited the special ability of the Nakatsukasa family, to transform into any of the weapon forms that belonged to family members before her: ninja sword, smoke bomb, shuriken, etc.

In one of the forms she can take, that of her brother's "demon sword" that she gained upon defeating him and taking his soul, Tsubaki also gains the ability to control shadows and make them solid and tangible. She can only do this while in the form of this sword (and in Somarium this won't happen without other players' consent :|b). She uses this ability to control Black*Star's shadow and improve his speed, defence, and attack.

As Tsubaki was able to fight soul to soul with her brother, she can also perform soul resonance with her meister. This allows her to synchronise her soul wavelength with Black*Star's for more powerful techniques. Tsubaki has also learned how to perform a chain resonance with her teammates (mainly Maka, Soul, Patti, Kid, and Liz) for enhanced performance as a group in battle.

[Other important stuff] Tsubaki will not remember Somarium.

[Sample post]
[First Person]

[there's a rather apologetic tone to this girl who appears, both in her voice and her body language.]

Hello, it seems that I should apologize for Black☆Star. I didn't realize he's been here for a while, and there's no telling what sorts of things he's done, but he's really a very good person with a good heart despite how it might seem. I'm Tsubaki… truly, don't mind him! Even if he may seem a little rude at times, he's really good.

[a small smile of greeting and a dip forward in a quick bow.]

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Ah, Kid…? Is there anything of importance we ought to know?

Thank you everyone!

[Third Person]

Tsubaki really had to wonder why Black☆Star was so determined to pick fights in Somarium when there weren't any real evil souls to collect (of which they knew, in any case) nor, as they had soon discovered, no other meisters and weapons to fight in the city except for Maka, Soul, Kid, and Liz—their own teammates. It was good to have them for support and to keep up training at their usual level, which for Tsubaki was good enough; but she could see that Black☆Star was gradually growing bored, and a bored Black☆Star was usually something dangerous. Still, it was clear by then that they weren't going to be readily meeting anyone who was a challenge. He didn't even need to use her abilities most of the time.

…Which was why when he told her to transform for yet another beating session on the weird scarecrows in this world (which seemed like just that—weird scarecrows, not evil souls of any sort, though she had no real idea how they existed) she sighed before assuming her standard chain scythe shape. "Is this really necessary?" she asked him, reflecting briefly in her own blade.

She could have and should have predicted the answer (something about how he must prove himself bigger, the world was his stage, the usual Black☆Star responses), but pointless as they were—there was no one around to see except himself and Tsubaki, so he was either doing it for their personal benefits or simply because they had nothing better to do—she wasn't going to refuse him, whatever the response. As long as he wasn't doing something really stupid, Tsubaki would let herself be dragged along with his grand schemes, because in truth she didn't mind it. That was just how Black☆Star worked, and she'd always known that. She was okay with it.

And besides, she thought, letting her chain slide easily through his hands as he whirled her and leaped forwards, even the smallest of opponents were good practise to keep skills sharp. Maybe he did or didn't realise it, but with unmatched opponents he might not be getting stronger, but he was at least keeping himself from getting lazy. And Tsubaki was always happy to see him progress on the path of getting stronger without being… stupid.

But then again, since when was Black☆Star ever lazy? Stupid, maybe, but lazy, never. She'd chosen a good partner. Embarrassing, perhaps, but as even her father had seen, one suited to wield a Nakatsukasa ninja weapon. Together they were a good team. Whatever his methods, she'd work happily with him.

Even if he was an idiot.
