Teiko Shinazugawa

Teiko Shinazugawa was a younger sister of Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa.

Appearance
Teiko was a girl of average height and light skin complexion. Her black hair was tied in a bow in the back and she had large almond-shaped purple eyes. She was very similar in appearance to her brother Sanemi.

She wore a mint green kimoni lined with white waving stripes and tied with a lime green obi.

Personality
Teiko, like her siblings, was a caring and loving young child. She loved her mother dearly and cared for her wellbeing, shielding her eyes during one of her father's abusive outburst because she could not stand to see the violence and staying up late to wait for her to come home when she was late.

When she woke up to find Sanemi and her mother was not home at night, she looked to Genya as comfort, warmly addressing her older brother.

History
Teiko was born to Kyogo and Shizu Shinazugawa. She had 6 other siblings, the oldest two being Sanemi and Genya. Their abusive father frequently used his size to torment them, though her mother had never failed to protect them from him. He would eventually die from a vengeful stabbing.

One night, as Teiko, Sumi, Koto, Hiroshi, and Shuya slept, their mother had not returned home, concerning Sanemi and Genya. As the oldest, Sanemi ventured out to search for her while Genya stayed at home to watch his siblings, shortly after which they would wake up as well. As dawn approached, they began to expressed worry since she had never been so late before, though Genya tried to ease their concern.

When a knock rang from the door, Teiko, Sumi, Hiroshi, and Shuya ran to greet their mother. Despite Genya's warning against opening it, the door broke open and their mother, who had transformed into a demon, rushed into the home, killing Teiko instantly.
