## Appearance

Tsubaki is a beautiful, petite-looking teenage girl with fair skin with fairly, visible blush, round red eyes, and dark green hair that reaches the length of her neck and shoulders.

In her **civilian form**, she wears a black and white seifuku-like top with puffy black sleeves and frilly white lining on each sides and a small, red bow at the middle and a black skirt with white, frilly lining and frilly socks and black shoes.

When **transformed**, Tsubaki grows a few inches with her hair growing a little bit and turning green and gaining two dark green bows on each side. She wears a white and dark green top with 3 small bows, puffy white and green sleeves with dark green and white cuffs reaching to her arms, and a red scarf on top. Her skirt is the same color as her top, and she has white and black stockings and dark green shoes.

## Personality

Tsubaki appears to be a formal, elegant, kindhearted girl with a penchant for nature and tending to plants. She has the same nature-loving trait as her mother, Yotsuba, who used to be a botanist until her passing. After the death of both of her parents, Tsubaki became the responsible caretaker of her own house and grew to be mature, even at such a young age suffering a tragic loss.

## History

### Past

Tsubaki was born to botanist Yotsuba Hanabusa, and popular singer Saboteshi Hanabusa. Tsubaki was mostly under her grandmother's care since her parents worked for very long and weren't home that much, yet Tsubaki was a little homesick and okay with it. After the passing of her grandmother, Tsubaki's parents had no choice but to take their child to work with them instead of hiring a babysitter since they were in desperate poverty.

Tragedy struck the Hanabusa Family as both Yotsuba and Saboteshi passed away,their death being ruled as a car accident by the Police. Tsubaki was not aware of her parents death because she was attending school at the time of their passing. Devastated to hear about the death of her parents when she was about to enter her home, Tsubaki lived alone and proved herself that she could become just like her mom, who used to live alone without anyone taking care of her.

## Synopsis

### Meeting Miyuki

Miyuki was falling out from the sky when her pod broke down, malfunctioned, and launched her down from the sky. Tsubaki caught her in her hands, as Miyuki thanked her for her strength. Tsubaki is bashful and says that it's no problem, as she takes her into her house after finding out that Miyuki has nowhere to live. Miyuki grooms herself with combing her hair and then her ears, as Tsubaki is surprised that she really is a catgirl. Miyuki asks why Tsubaki is the only one here, with Tsubaki revealing that her parents died when she was younger and didn't know until she asked a police officer what was going on.

## Magical Girl

Tsubaki is the Magical Girl of Nature. She is the first to be scouted by Miyuki and join Team Nekomusume. Her theme color is green.

### Transformations

* **Long Version:** Tsubaki grabs her compact and charm. Opening the compact, she inserts the charm and shouts "*Nature Magic, Transform!"*, as she raises her arms and claps her hands as the background turns green, as she wears a white dress. Round rings appear at her chest, creating her top. Her dress then appears as she sways it from side to side, as she twirls as the rings appear to her feet with her shoes appearing. She grabs two bows, and puts them at each side of her hair with her hair changing right after. She winks, flies down to the ground as her chain whip appears, and does her final pose.

* **Short Version:** Tsubaki grabs her compact and inserts her charm, shouting *"Nature Magic, Transform!"*. Tsubaki's body turns green and sparkly as vines start to create her dress, bows, and shoes. As she breaks out of it, she is fully transformed as she forms her chain sword and does her final pose.
