Tsubasa Ijuuin

Tsubasa Ijuuin (伊集院 つばさ) is one of the three main protags of Tsubasa: A Mystic Tale of Tails, who happened to be one of Tamako's 2nd children alongside his twin brother Mitsuki.

## Appearance

Tsubasa is a teenage Kitsune boy with blonde hair, red fox ears and tails and purple eyes. He dons a dark green gakuran, a pastel blue scarf and a pair of black glasses. His tail is pretty fluffy and pretty sensitive to touch. Tsubasa's species is an Ezo Red Fox (*Vulpes vulpes schrencki*).

## Personality

Tsubasa is an aloof yet cheerful person. Sometimes he can be a bit calculating, and he's quite intelligent. Mitsuki considers him as the trio's brains and strategist, when it comes to battles and adventuring. Sometimes Tsubasa even teases his adoptive twin brother Mekuru for fun, but he didn't mind being teased by him. In battles, Tsubasa becomes pretty serious and won't stop fighting until he wins.

## Abilities

* Youjutsu: Tsubasa is skilled in using Youjutsu (Youkai magic and/or ninjutsu), and he's a Fire elemental. He can use his Youjutsu to set his enemies ablaze as he fights his way to find his beloved mother.
* Suzaku's Tail: a feather fan used by Tsubasa as his main weapon, resembling Zhuge Liang's iconic weapon. It is able to stir up vast swathes of fire towards his enemies or even set a huge Youma or an entire enemy army on fire. The weapon is blessed upon by Tsubasa's guardian beast, the Suzaku (or the Vermilion Bird)
* Magatamas: jewel-like artifacts that can be used as his auxillary weapons and elemental powers. Each combination of Magatamas grants Tsubasa new powers and new weapons which he can use at his own disposal.
* Suzaku/Zhu Que (朱雀): a Guardian Beast bestowed upon Tsubasa alongside its three accomplices (Byakko/Bai Hu, Genbu/Xuan Wu and Seiryuu/Qing Long). Taking form of a majestic phoenix with flaming vermilion feathers, it serves as Tsubasa's own elemental spirit. Its disguise form is a docile-looking golden pheasant.

## Trivia

* Tsubasa's appearance and personality are inspired by Keima Katsuragi from The World God Only Knows, Ace Ukiyo from Kamen Rider Geats, Takeru Tenkuji from Kamen Rider Ghost, Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, Sima Yi from Dynasty Warriors series, Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa and Bell Cranel from Danmachi. He was designed back in 2013 as one of the first Fargus Multiverse OCs.
* Tsubasa's favorite activities includes fishing, collecting bugs, hiking and finding fossils/remains of ancient Yokais and other mythical beasts. He really loves kitsune udon, inarizushi and onigiri, especially ones made by his beloved mother. During his mother's absence, he usually ate at the Rouyama family's tea house and eatery alongside Mitsuki, Mekuru and Kiara.
* Tsubasa can grow up to nine tails. But to do so, he must ascend into a Kyuubi, the final/mature form of a Kitsune.
* Like all of the Ijuuin family members bar Mekuru and Riku, Tsubasa is a descendant of Tamamo-no-Mae, a legendary Kyuubi that was once the courtesan of a certain Japanese emperor and fought against Yamata-no-Orochi in the past.
