**Futaba Yozakura** (夜桜 二刃, *Yozakura Futaba*) is the eldest daughter and the second sibling of the 10th generation of the Yozakura Family.

## Appearance

Futaba is a young woman with a small physique and light fair skin. She has white-silver hair curled up into pigtails tied together with a ribbon. She has short spikey bangs that fall down to her forehead. Futaba has white-silvers just like her hair. Futaba usually wears her long white dress along with white boots, taking inspiration from Lolita fashion. This isn't her only choice of fashion and can be seen wearing more casual clothes on days off. Futaba describes the clothes as her combat gear, which is stiff to wear.

After her 5 years of training, Futaba continues to wear a lolita styled dress, and not wears a cape tippet with bow and a bonnet with puffs over the ears. Futaba's hairstyle remains as her pigtails, but instead of being twirls they're now straight and flowing.

## Personality

Futaba is the most caring of the siblings and takes on a more motherly role. Despite seeming more violent due to her practices of martial arts, she is actually pretty kind and helpful. At times she can be strict but truly wants the best for her family. Unlike the oldest son Kyoichiro Yozakura, Futaba is calmer and protects her family from a distance.

When Futaba is drunk she becomes very energetic and violent, she constantly fights those around her for flings them in the air using her martial arts, she's constantly laughing and smiling when doing so.

She's scared of ghosts and curses since she can't fight them through martial arts. She was not afraid of anything until the death of her mother, Rei Yozakura. This made Futaba realise how some things are outside of your control even if you're strong. As a result, Futaba has an constant fear of her being unable to protect the people she loved despite her strength, which manifests when she sees intangible threats like ghosts.

Futaba despises cheating more than anything else, and will violently lash out if she finds that people have cheated her. She deems it necessary to punish those who cheat and those who allow others to cheat.

## History

Futaba started training as a spy and in martial arts when she was only 3 years old. After 3 more years she began going on missions.

When Futaba was six years old, she took her bronze rank spy exam. Due to her kindness, she ended up helping the other examinees whenever they set off traps. Because of her, the exam has the highest number of spies passing, being 13.

When Futaba was eight years old, she was the the first of her siblings to take the silver rank spy exams. The exams were very violent and crude, so in order to ensure her sibling's safety for when they took the exams, she defeated everyone to show that if they ever try to do something unjust to her siblings, they'd know how much of a threat she is. During this exam she also ran into Shura who was trying to kill everyone she faced in the exam. Futaba wanted to put a stop to her and the two fought to a draw, until Futaba managed to break through her cybernetics and allowed her to feel emotion again. Due to her gaining her emotions back, Shura asked to befriend Futaba leaving Futaba as the victor of their fight.
