**"** *I'm glad that there is someone who can understand me while I am nearing the end of the drive towards death and destruction. That there's someone there for me, someone to be there with me, while I go through what I'm going through.* **"**

**Todesuu** (トデスウ, *Todesuu*, lit. *"Smoke In The Door"*), occasionally referred to by Guren as **Todes** (トデス, *Todesu*) for short, is the main character of Yuhun's upcoming fiction, *『 "The Drive Towards Death and Destruction" 』*. She is stated by Yuhun to be both the main protagonist and main antagonist due to some of the actions that she carries out during the fiction's storyline.

## Name

**Todesuu's** name might be a nod to the song Tødestrieb by Powerless and Sennzai. Evidence of this being the case may be found of the page of Yuhun's *Dragon Adventures* Tosknir, Tødestrieb. Yuhun sees Todesuu's name as a play on the word ***todes,*** meaning *death* in German- this likely foreshadows Todesuu's eventual death.

## Appearance

**Todesuu** appears as a young girl of very tall height. She has sharp red-blue heterochromic eyes and long silver-grey hair.

Her attire consists of a long and detailed black exposed-shoulder dress adorned with vine-like patterns, tattered at the ends, and shoes of the same colour. She wears a pair of silver bands around her wrists. Todesuu is also known to wear intricately-designed black teardrop-shaped metal earrings and/or a gold flower-and-leaf wreath. After her death, the wreath is left by Todesuu's spirit in her spire room, laid atop a small pillow on Todesuu's desk.

Most prominently, Todesuu is known to carry a wolf plush, and a rosevine is bound around her body, with smaller, harmless vines wrapped around her arms.

## Personality

**Todesuu** seems to keep secrets to herself, sharing them only with those that she deems "worthy of knowing what dark stories lie within her", though she acts friendly towards others when she comes out of her seclusion. However, towards the middle of *The Drive Towards Death and Destruction,* Todesuu begins to act more self-destructive, acting strangely and threatening to "do something to herself that no one would want her to do" if someone she's close to steps out of line.

As such, due to her seclusion and wishing to not be bothered, **Todesuu** can be seen as somewhat of a recluse, though this behavior is not exhibited as much after Todesuu meets Guren.

## Fiction appearances

[???]

**Todesuu** is initially mentioned to the secondary protagonist, Kirigi, when she arrives at her new campus. Todesuu is mentioned to Kirigi as someone who has been living in the campus for almost a decade, seldom coming out of the campus spire, where she resides. Kirigi is then warned by Fubuki not to disturb Todesuu especially since she's "been troubled by something recently" and is known to have thrown knives through the window of the spire's door to ward students off, but Kirigi travels to the campus spire regardless, and introduces herself to Todesuu. Though she doesn't say anything, Todesuu stares at Kirigi through the spire's window, and Kirigi gets a glimpse of Todesuu's eyes which she describes as "a pair of glowing ember-like eyes".

Todesuu makes a full physical appearance and her debut at the feast thrown to welcome Kirigi, appearing on the dining hall balcony and formally introducing herself to Kirigi, who is stunned by her beauty. Fubuki is shocked by Todesuu's sudden appearance, and says, "Did you seriously manage to lure her out?", to which Todesuu replies for Kirigi- stating that she prefers for it to be stated as Kirigi "convincing her to come out of her seclusion".

## Relationships

### Guren

Ever since hearing of **Todesuu,** Guren thought highly of her, thinking of her as his idol and a worthy rival. After Todesuu "betrays" Fubuki, the two meet each other, and as a result of this Guren falls for Todesuu at first sight and begins to develop loving feelings for her. They begin to become fond of one another, with Guren giving Todesuu the best care he can and ensuring that she isn't uncomfortable around her and Todesuu tending to Guren in return. Todesuu and Guren have an incredibly strong relationship- as Todesuu is grateful to Guren for being understanding of her self-destructiveness and dark true colours, and accepting her for who she truly is. Both are protective of one another and are incredibly difficult to separate.

In Todesuu's final moments, Guren holds her, pleading for her to not die; however, after they reveal their feelings for each other, Todesuu passes away in Guren's arms, leaving Guren shattered and in sheer grief. However, Todesuu returns as a spirit after passing on to the afterlife, giving Guren a handmade replica of her wolf plush. He realises that it might be easier than he thought to accept Todesuu's death than he thought, and comforts Todesuu when she realises that a certain friend of hers has also passed away.

**"** *You are so gullible... Heck, did I mention how guilt-prone you are? You seriously think I died?

I merely used enough fake blood to make you think that I died.* **"** - Todesuu after faking her death.

**"** *Have... you... finally realised... that you will be better... off without me? Wait, what? You are saying... you still need me? Well... dang. Guren, you are going to have to... face it. You **will** be better off... without me and my mindless, heartless, self-destructive actions causing you grief. Please, do understand. My troubles are causing you too much trouble of your own. My death is going to help rid you of that.* **"** - Some of Todesuu's final words after slitting her own throat open.

## Trivia

* Todesuu's page was the 27th page on this wiki. This may reference the date that Sennzai released the official video for the full version of Tødestrieb: the 27th of December, 2019. Yuhun stated that if she had created the page on the exact date this year, it would've "referenced the release date even more than it already does".
* Todesuu is one of few characters in Yuhun's fictions that becomes close to death or dies due to a throat wound. The only other known character that might have done something similar is the Zetsubou no Musume, although the wound *she* receives is not the fatal wound.
	+ She is also the only character in Yuhun's fictions to end up killing themselves. This is in reference to the *Todestrieb*, the drive towards death and self-destruction.
* Todesuu is currently the only known original character of Yuhun's that was inspired by a girl on the jacket art of one of Sennzai's albums.
* Her being called *Todes* for short is a reference to her name being a play on said name.
* Yuhun once joked that due to her betrayal and notoriously sadistic nature, motives and actions, Todesuu *could* be seen remotely as Near Pure Evil due to the purpose of the betrayal.
* Recently, one of Yuhun's friends put Todesuu's name through Google Translate, and it came out with *"smoke in the door"*, causing Yuhun to crack up.
