## Bio:

Diesel lives on Sodor. He came to be on trail back in 1957.

However, it is revealed the reason why Diesel told the trucks the nicknames for the big engines back in 1957 is largely because Duck did not help him and left him to clean up the mess like a joke. After Duck was sent away, Diesel became station pilot. He made up a lie about Henry, resulting in him being sent away. He was brought back a few times for being the only cheap shunter, only to be sent away.

In 1969, a train pulled by Western arrived at Crewe Works, where he worked along with Diesel 10, Splatter and Dodge. He wasn't optimistic about the extra scrap brought by Iron Arry and Iron Bert, even claiming that they'll get paid from the work, before calling Splatter and Dodge to take Arry and Bert's train to the backyard while he will prepare to deal with Western's train, whereas requested Arry and Bert to get refueled to their journey back. As he did, Diesel was confused as to why Diesel 10's scrap train had Dennis. He joined the musical to tell Eliza how nasty the world was, pinging her to the turntable. Diesel would tell Eliza to move to get the trucks behind her after telling Arry and Bert to get ready for their return trip, then showing his annoyance to Dennis after Dennis's order to get him safe from scrap, claiming would get him scrap by "accident" and telling him to shut up, taking Dennis' silence as a 'yes'. While getting the train organized for Whistler, he noticed Eliza coupled to the train behind, but didn't report her and told the Class 40 ready to leave to Bridlington.

He became a permanent member in 2003, much to the others' dismay.

## Persona:

Diesel is a rude, evil, mean, spiteful, devious, scheming, and troublesome villain. He views steam engines as being inferior. He is very grumpy, disrespectful and is well known for causing trouble.

Shadow Mei

**Shadow Mei** (カゲメイ, *Kage Mei*) was originally an omokage Mei accidentally created in her dying moments. Later it is discovered that Shadow Mei is one of the 3 parts of the soul of the Ayakashi Medium, along with Suzu and Kanade.
 She currently lives alongside humans under the name of Mei Hirasaka and pretending to be Suzu's cousin.

## **Appearance**

Shadow Mei is the same as Mei, due to being a shadow of her. Unlike Mei though, Shadow Mei keeps her hair down.

Shadow Mei wears Mei's Ayakashi Medium outfit.

She has been seen wearing the uniform of the high school that Matsuri and Suzu attend.

## **Personality**

Being a shadow of Mei in her last seconds of life, Shadow Mei cursed humans and wants to exterminate them at all costs.

Her main motive is to obtain Suzu's body so that she can use the true power of the Ayakashi Medium.

With the passage of time and having a relationship with humans, Shadow Mei adapted to society and currently values her friends very much.

Being an ayakashi from the edo era, she is afraid of modern technology, being scared of cameras (due to the legend that taking a picture steals your soul) and being surprised by buses.

## **Plot**

Before her death, Mei made an omokage who years later would be released. This omokage would inherit Mei's hatred towards humans and would try to exterminate them.

Some time later after the battle between Sosuke and Matsuri, Shadow Mei would arrive to rescue Sosuke and give him a use as a lackey.

After the exorcism of the Hiderigami, Shadow Mei would appear before Garaku to demonstrate her existence.

After a while, Shadow Mei would appear before Matsuri and Soga having a battle to show them her strength, at the end of this Shadow Mei seeks and possesses Suzu in order to have all her power. After the battle against Matoi, Shadow Mei is injured and is healed by Garaku who betrays Matsuri and the others by hiding in a remote fort in the forest.

After Sosuke's defeat and seeing that her hiding place had been found, she tells Suzu and the others that they must keep her alive as without her they will not be able to return Matsuri and Shirogane to their original forms.

After that, Shadow Mei would enter the high school to pose as a human while she recovers.

## **Powers & Abilities**

Being a shadow of Mei, Shadow Mei has all of Mei's abilities.

* Omokage: Shadow Mei can create a multiples shadows.
* Origami: Like Mei, Shadow Mei can use origami to attack ayakashis or her enemies. Unlike Mei, Shadow Mei's origami is a dark shade.

## Summary

### Translated from Japanese

Matsuri is kissed by Suzu who suddenly appears in the room. However, she soon disappears. It is an "omokage," an alter ego of a demon that is normally harmless, but perhaps due to the power of the ghost shrine maiden, she shares her senses with Omokage...!?

### English Version

When Suzu shows up in Matsuri’s room without warning, he knows something is wrong…and then she kisses him, before vanishing the next instant! It turns out it’s not Suzu, but an omokage—a doppelganger ayakashi that’s usually harmless. But what happens when the powers of an ayakashi medium are in the mix?

Matsuri tells her he doesn't like when people get too touchy with him and leaves, making Yayoi think that Matsuri hates her. Later Suzu asks Matsuri to be more chummy with Yayoi, as he doesn't really talk with them and just play games on his phone. Matsuri comments he don't know what to say to a girl and that he doesn't even have a guy friend. He explains that Suzu was his only childhood fiends along with ayakashi and after that he started his training for exorcist ninja, leaving him with no free time to spare. Matsuri is fine not having friends, but seeing Suzu's face, he agrees to talk to the girls.

She takes him to Yayoi and Lucy, who had found Shirogane and are petting him. Yayoi picks him up and gives it to Matsuri, wanting he to pet it, but knowing its Shirogane, Matsuri declines, making Yayoi think Matsuri really hates her. Suzu tries to calm her by saying Matsuri is a dog person. A bit later, Shirogane explains that he transformed into a normal cat and all the humans can see him, as he believes being the cute school cat is safer, considering there is another exorcist after him. Shirogane then heads out to charm other students, but before he leaves, he tells Matsuri that he is a blockhead and that Yayoi is possessed by an ayakashi.

Yayoi trips, making Lucy comment its the four time today. Yayoi wonders if she shouldn't have groped Matsuri, as if someone she just met did that to her, she would file a complain. Yayoi decides to apologize to Matsuri. Matsuri then shows up and uses ashes from burned talisman, to reveal any ayakashi and they see something forming around Yayoi's foot. In that moment, she trips again and falls the stairs, but Matsuri jumps in and saves her. Suzu sees its a Bottle-nosed Roller, a low-level ayakashi that appears out of nowhere and trips people. Yayoi apologizes to Matsuri, but Matsuri says he needs to apologize as he doesn't have friends and his only phone number in his phone is that of his grandpa. He tells Yayoi that he wants to get to know them and they decide to form a group starting with the first kanji of their name forming "Kachofugetsu". Meanwhile, Shirogane had ran into Masurao-sensei who hugs him against Shirogane's will, as he finds him adorable.
