Appearance

She wears the plain uniform of a hospital nurse, keeps her long black hair down, and uses only minimal makeup. Striking enough to be called angelic, she gives off a warm aura whenever she plays the caring role, and it is exactly that quality that catches Tsukiyama's eye and earns his stream of flattery.

Personality

In public she seemed sweet and attentive, smiling at everyone and tending her patients with apparent compassion. That warmth was a performance. Alone on the ward after hours, she slipped into rooms to steal from the people in her care and beat her elderly patients, counting on their failing memories to keep her safe. Cruel and calculating, she proved willing to kill to protect her own interests.

History

Tsukiyama once brought Chie Hori to a hospital he liked to frequent and pointed out this nurse escorting an elderly man through the courtyard, mentioning that she pined for a doctor who never noticed her. That night Chie hid beneath the old man's bed and watched the nurse sample his gifts before rounding on him with insults and blows. Tsukiyama broke in, knocked her aside, and set about skinning and devouring the patient.

Roused by the attack, the old man begged for help only to be kicked away in disgust. After the ghoul and Chie left, the patient, who now recalled her abuse, threatened to expose her, so she murdered him and reported a ghoul attack while shielding Tsukiyama's identity. Chie later learned the nurse had turned the tragedy into a romance with the doctor she wanted and thanked Tsukiyama for it. Her good fortune did not last: he had been fattening her as a future meal, and he killed her soon after her wedding. Her partly skinned body surfaced before her honeymoon, in a case Touka pegged as his work.
