Acrobatic Silky's Daughter
CharacterAcrobatic Silky's Daughter is the cherished child whose abduction shattered her mother and birthed the yokai of the same name in Dandadan. A cheerful girl devoted to ballet, her fate after being taken is left unresolved.
Appearance
A small girl whose brown hair sits in short twin tails, she has matching brown eyes and tends to favor long-sleeved tops. The anime adds a gap where one tooth is missing.
Personality
Warm and lively whenever her mother was near, the girl carried an enthusiasm for ballet that shaped her happiest moments at home.
History
She grew up alongside a mother who worked herself ragged to clear heavy debts. When that mother finally used some hard-won pay to buy her a dress made for dancing, the lenders erupted, treating the purchase as a misuse of their money. They forced their way into the home, brutalized the woman, took back the cash, and drove off with the girl in a van. Her mother gave chase but arrived too late to stop them. Losing her child this way pushed the mother to leap from a rooftop to her death, becoming a wandering yokai bent on finding her lost daughter. What became of the girl after the kidnapping is never confirmed, though Aira Shiratori comes to believe she died, voicing a wish that mother and daughter might one day be reunited happily in a kinder world once the yokai reached Nirvana.
