Lilac Yachi

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

**Lilac Yaichi** (Japanese: **谷地 ライラック** *Yaichi Rairakku*) was previously a first-year student at Riverstone Military Academy. She is the manager of Squad A, and was previously their manager in Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High`s War Club. As of 2018, she is a college student and will begin working at an law firm in Tokyo once she graduates. In December 2018, she married Akihito and changed her name to **Lilac Tsukishima** (Japanese: **月島** **ライラック** *Tsukishima Rairakku*). She is the adoptive mother of Maya Tsukishima, formerly named Maya Tsubaki.

## Appearance

As mentioned by Lily, she dyed her hair brown and got dark-brown contacts made to mimic the color of her dyed hair. She originally had blonde hair that goes slightly past her chin and light brown eyes. She currently possesses long brown hair reaching below her shoulders and has darker brown eyes, due to contacts. Typically seen dressed in the school uniform consisting of a sailor fuku, a grey blouse with black cuffs that have teal trim in the middle. It has a black sailor-style collar with has teal trim and a single five teal petal design in the middle. The ribbon of the uniform is also teal and is tied in the front and laced through a loop attached to the blouse. The bottom is a black skirt. She was seen wearing it with dark blue knee high socks and white shoes. She is normally seen smiling and laughing at the antics of her squad. When she was irritated with Akihito, she openly had a dark aura and a dark look on her look, which completely froze the entire squad in their places.

## Personality

She is a gentle, soft-spoken, and quiet person who genuinely cares for her squad and enjoys the War Games, exhibiting a different personality when watching them. After a row of huge disagreements between her mother and her, Lilac packed her bags and left the house when her sister was still very young; this is the main reason why her younger sister, Yaichi is so timid and shy. As a manager, she is not afraid to call her squad out when they are displaying childishness and even rebuked Akihito after he started provoking Kei. Despite her gentle and soft-spoken personality, Lilac has quite the savage side, even mentioning that Akihito has adorable bed-head but his personality is quite crappy, leading to laughter from the rest of the squad and the Academy`s students. As noted by her mother and father, she is very passionate about her role as a manger and even scolded some of the other school`s fans when they got too loud, the complete opposite of her sister. When Riverstone`s rival teams appeared with their managers, she and the other managers greeted each other with a aggressive handshake that scared their squads into silence. Even the volleyball teams who had come to watch the War Games were shocked into silence.

## Plot

#### **Karasuno vs Tokonami**

Riverstone enters the stadium, sending them into silence as they settle themselves into seats near Aobajohsai High School, not realizing that until they see Aobajohsai`s Boys` Volleyball Team staring back at them in disbelief. Akihito starts provoking them by bringing up their loss in last year`s War Games but is slapped on the back of his head by Lilac who forces him to apologize and rebukes him for displaying childishness. After Karasuno wins, Lilac comments that was far too easy of a match before tossing her teammates food and drinks. Kayla comments that their match is coming up and Lilac comments that she is bored and that facing Karasuno or Aobajohsai would relieve her bordem much to the amusement of the Karasuno and Aobajohsai`s coaches.

#### **Riverstone vs Middleton**

Lilac is seen entering the stadium with the rest of the Academy`s volleyball team shocking the stadium into silence as they spot the number one emblazoned onto her t-shirt. As they are warming up, she "accidentally" sends the ball over into the stands, where it lands in a shocked Kindaichi`s arms. After retrieving the ball from Kindaichi`s arms, Akihito comments that her aim is bad only for Lilac to comment that she was intentionally sending the ball at Kindaichi`s arms and that she can do that to the ball, so it lands where she wants. A savage smile, and blood-curdling smile then appears on her face making her team fall silent and the opposing team shiver in their shoes.

#### **Schweiden Adlers vs MSBY Black Jackals**

Lilac appears at the game alongside her old Squad, and her former volleyball teammates, as well as her old rivals from the War Games. They greet Karasuno`s old alumni and Lilac comments on flying back to New York in a week or so, due to getting a week off from school with a smile. Eventually, they hear the starting line-up and Lilac comments on how she is so excited to see them face each other, with Akihito commenting that she has rice on her cheek before picking it off her cheek and eating itself himself. Her teammates jokingly tell her to get a room with bright smiles slipping onto their faces. Her adoptive daughter lightly tugs on Lilac`s shirts and asks when she can get a snack, Lilac asks for Akihito to take her to the mochi place outside before getting up to call Nishinoya on her phone to talk to him.
