Tsugi

## Birth and Childhood

Tsugi was born to two sordid parents. Her father, a Nocti known for his cruelty, was a Nocti trafficker. He would stay out very late and then bring several exotic items home, although he would never let Tsugi touch them - he valued said items much more than he did his only child, and constantly lived under the fear that someday, Tsugi would break one of them. As a result, he usually kept Tsugi locked up whenever he took an item home. Sometimes, he would keep her locked up for longer than needed because he would have a panic attack thinking about it. It's a wonder that he didn't kill Tsugi, considering how much he feared the potential destruction of his items.

Meanwhile, Tsugi's mother was no better - she was constantly chasing after every rich and handsome Nocti she saw on the street. She would deploy every tactic she could to claim their hearts, from openly stripping her clothes before them to extortion. This passion of hers did result in a small bit of happiness; she had garnered a couple of lovers in this fashion. Through these strategies, she'd become rich and infamous. However, these small details would result in her downfall: the people she had messed with winded up killing her to keep their secrets.

## Teenage Years

Knowing that her father would never show her any love whatsoever, Tsugi decided to run away from home before he trafficked her next. Lost and wandering around the extensive domain of Inanis, Tsugi found a new sort of equilibrium. She felt at peace with herself and even made a grave for her mother in the Graveyard. However, with this newfound stability came a new desire - Tsugi wanted to see Caelum. If Inanis was the complete opposite of Caelum, then surely Caelum must be a nice place, right?

And so, Tsugi decided to persevere until the day that she could enter Caelum. At first, she would help random mortals that she saw who were in need, but eventually, she decided to help out angels as well - with their permission, of course. Over the course of her adolescence, she managed to familiarize herself with many angels, and some rumors were spread around Caelum that there was a Nocti who would be willing to help out with anything, no matter how difficult the task was. However, the majority of Caelum was still unconvinced - they didn't think a Nocti would do such nice things for a species that had been established as their natural enemy.

## Adulthood

As an adult, Tsugi continued to help those who needed her help. Realizing that maybe some of the goods sold in the Underworld might assist some of the few who needed her help, Tsugi returned to Inanis and used her familial ties to access the Underworld. She did see her father a couple of times, but he paid her no mind. Content with this new area in which she could obtain exotic items, Tsugi returned to the human world.

It was at this point in life when she met Corco, her soon-to-be husband. Corco had been looking for a material that could properly replace the eversleep flower's nectar and Tsugi had cautiously approached him, having never met or interacted with a god who sided with Floppa before. She offered to help Corco, and he willingly accepted her help. Tsugi managed to buy the nectar at a relatively low price and brought it to Corco. And so, their relationship developed further - the two winded up falling in love with each other, but they didn't get married until after Semel and Corco wedded. Together, Tsugi and Corco had a daughter whom they named Carba.
