==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Orb===
During ancient times, it was revealed that Maga-Orochi had kidnapped her and held her in captivity in the Forbidden Forest. It was Zoffy who rescued her from Maga-Orochi and put the demon beast to sleep. As a result, Tamayura had guarded over the seal of Maga-Orochi for several centuries. This history was later recorded in the Pacific Records.
Over the centuries that followed, the spiritual entity of Tamayura remained within the ancient tomb located in the sealed-off forest, and her existence was witnessed by several residents. As a result, this forest has been known as the "Forbidden Forest" since the Edo period, maintaining a mysterious and sacred atmosphere.
However, with the arrival of the 21st century, the government of Yamamichi City in Yamato Village began planning a development project for commercial facilities in the area, posing a threat of deforestation to the forest where Tamayura resides.
===Ultraman Orb===
Upon learning that someone had witnessed the presence of extraterrestrial life and UFOs in the Forbidden Forest, the members of SSP immediately conducted an investigation in the area. However, they were unexpectedly pursued by Alien Nackle. It was at this moment that Tamayura first appeared before Naomi and guided them to an escape route. During this process, SSP also discovered fragments of Tamayura's ancient tomb.
Subsequently, Tamayura witnessed the battle between Gai, assuming the identity of Ultraman Orb, and Aribunta. After the fight concluded, she watched Gai from the edge of the forest, and Gai smiled back at her. Furthermore, due to the discovery of Tamayura's ancient tomb, the local government halted its development plans for the forest.
As time went on, Tamayura had a premonition of a great catastrophe about to befall. One day, she appeared in a gigantic form within the city, attempting to warn Gai. This scene was witnessed by Gai, Jugglus Juggler, Naomi, Keiko, and many other citizens who were dining in an airborne restaurant.
However, the next day, during the battle between Juggler and Gai, Juggler attempted to revive Maga-Orochi using the Lord Monsters cards. Unfortunately, by the time Tamayura arrived, it was already too late, and she couldn't stop Juggler's plan in time.
When Maga-Orochi continued to wreak havoc in Tokyo and entered a dormant state, SSP decided to seek out Tamayura, the key figure who originally sealed Maga-Orochi, for assistance. While exploring deep within the forest, they once again discovered fragments of Tamayura's ancient tomb. Through the resonance of these fragments, they collaborated to piece together the stone monument. However, when Keiko poured water onto the flowers planted by Tamayura in the forest, Tamayura was reborn through the power of the earth and immediately appeared before Gai in the city.
Tamayura entrusted Gai with the Zoffy card and Belial's Ultra Fusion Cards, enabling him to transform into Thunder Breastar. However, she warned Gai that Belial's power was tremendously strong and must be properly controlled, or it could bring disaster. Despite Gai's attempts to use Belial's card, he failed.
At this moment, Maga-Orochi appeared before them. Tamayura erected a shield to resist Maga-Orochi's attack and commanded Gai to transform. However, Belial refused to lend his power to Gai. Sensing an opportunity, Tamayura intentionally lowered her defense and was ultimately defeated and vanished under Maga-Orochi's strike. This triggered Gai's furious and sorrowful power, as he suppressed Belial's anger and eventually gained Belial's approval. He successfully transformed into Thunder Breastar and ultimately defeated Maga-Orochi, achieving revenge for Tamayura. Since then, Tamayura has never reappeared.
