M-H: Shibata Tsukihime

Tsukihime was raised in a quaint home in Mino-shi in the Chuno region by her grandma and grandpa. Her parents were the sort to constantly be away on business so she was sent to live with her paternal grandparents. Growing up, she was a curious and rambunctious child and adored stories told to her by her elders about samurai and folklore.

Being raised in a household filled with intriguing stories gave her a wild imagination. She loved to pretend she could talk to the ghosts of dead samurai and that she was a princess from the moon. As she got older, she took interest in art and found she had a natural talent for painting. Her favorite subjects in school were history and art because she connected with them the most. She loved that she was able to hear about the samurai at school as well as home and she loved to have an outlet for her artistic passions.

Once she reached middle school, Tsukihime had gone from being an outgoing and passionate child to a reserved, shy, and quiet girl. Her interests began to shift more to the dark side and she strayed away from people at school fearing they would judge and reject her. In secret, she was intrigued by the occult and seances, and loved reading horror stories. Her head was constantly filled with creepy thoughts and her art reflected that.

Later on down the road, her tendencies mellowed and her art turned to peaceful scenery and old-styled Japanese artwork with the occasional edginess thrown in. Her personality matured more as she began to find beauty in most everything.

The time came for her to pick a high school to attend. After careful consideration, she decided she wanted to venture outside of her town to experience more of what the world had to offer. Her wish was to be able to visit places where her ancestors and other samurai once stood. While looking through brochures, she found one for Miyagawa High, a school located an hour north from where she lived. She was very excited about the prospect of attending Miyagawa High because this school was located in a town minutes away from an area ruled by the Tokugawa clan. The fact that the school contained dorms for the students to live in sealed the deal and Tsukihime applied right away.
