Tsukumo

How Tsukumo joined the Tourney
Tsukumo hails from one of the five strongest countries in the nation and is hinted to have come from an upper-class family. Her earliest history dates back to the time when her family was hosting a party when she was seven years old. Having hid in the gardens to avoid troubling her family, she began to observe a bug when Hirato stumbled across her. He decided to strike up a conversation with her once it became apparent that the both of them were avoiding the party for their own reasons.

Soon, he noticed her guarded behavior; how quiet and reserved she was. Tsukumo was highly mature for someone of only seven years, "two months, and five days" (using "very grown-up" words that normal children her age wouldn't have known). She later revealed that two years prior, while in town, a kidnapping attempt was made on her. Her elder brother interfered and managed to rescue her yet died as a result (implied from a gunshot wound).

Describing her brother as a "really excellent person" and promising heir in the family, Tsukumo explained that her parents and relatives blamed her for the loss of someone who could have been a splendid future head of the family. The way they treat her is different from how they treat her younger brother. She even remarks that it would have been better if she had died "so it wouldn't have inconvenienced anyone."

Hirato notes that these could not have been her own words, but that of the adults around her. Sensing her unwitting and possibly even unnoticed sadness, he encourages Tsukumo to find a place for herself within the world rather than remain stagnant in the toxic atmosphere of her home. He urges her to "move forward one day at a time". These words moved Tsukumo to eventually join Circus from that point on.

After rescuing a group of Eastern European families from an "icy demon" as they described called Captain Cold, Tsukumo performed to earn the respect of the citizens. Suddenly, word got out that Captain Cold would be at the Second Tourney and wants her head.
