Tsubaki Kasugano

Tsubaki Kasugano (春日野 椿 Kasugano Tsubaki) is the 6th Diary holder in Future Diary.

Appearance
Tsubaki is a young partially blind Diary holder. She has long dark blue hair that covers her right eye and comes loose down the back and tied at the top with a bright red ribbon. A white hair clip is placed on her left. Tsubaki also dons a long orange kimono with orange trousers underneath.

Personality
Tsubaki is the figurehead of the Omekata religion, but is seemingly paranoid and won't trust the people who serve her, due to her horrible past of abuse. Otherwise, Tsubaki is a very calm girl but can become very irritable at times.

But Tsubaki is revealed to be in fact a cruel, ruthless, sly young girl that leads other diary holders to her in order to kill them and gain the title of "God".

History
When her parents were killed, Tsubaki fell into the hands of the Omekata at a very young age and was locked up in a cell so that she would not escape. All Tsubaki had was a handball, which she often found comfort in and would often play with it. But one day the ball dissapeared and Tsubaki fell into a panic over her precious item. She then deducts that the ball had dissapeared from her "invisible" world and would later come to resent it, hoping for the world to simply "disappear". Tsubaki was also raped many times by the men of the Omekata, deepening her twisted view on life.

Diary
Tsubaki's diary is the [Clairvoyant Diary] also known as "The Thousand League Eyes" and unlike most other characters, Tsubaki's diary comes in the shape of a long scroll. Tsubaki's diary allows her to see far off events and tells her the events of her 1000 followers. Tsubaki sometimes see's her diary as a hindrance though, especially when the future is changed or in a event where she has to act quickly.

Plot
Tsubaki first appears in the meeting where Deus Ex Machina explains the rules of the diaries. Tsubaki would then ask the god how they will be able to kill the other diary holders if they don't know the others faces, Machina then simply tells her that she along with the others must use their diaries and gather information to accomplish this.

Later on Yuno, Yukiteru and Keigo go to the Omekata temples, of which they have been told that Uryuu Minene has been captured by the people. The trio would then confront Tsubaki who reveals that she is the 6th and tells them that she will be killed that day unless Yukiteru can help save her. Yuno starts to become jealous of Tsubaki. Tsubaki would then warn Yukiteru that being with Yuno would also bring him pain and would "shatter" him. All of a sudden a fire breaks out in Tsubaki's cell and her followers then started to randomly attack one another, without knowing why. Tsubaki is saved though when Keigo broke the pipes, destroying the fire. Tsubaki would then burst out into rage and tells her followers to stop massacring each other before coming to the deduction that they were hypnotized.

Tsubaki then looked through her diary to discover that its useless when her followers are hypnotized and would not get accurate information. Tsubaki and Yukiteru then leave the cell, only to be confronted by a insane Yuno who tells her that Tsubaki will indeed die that night, all of a sudden the followers begin to attack them at which Yuno tells Yukiteru to abandon Tsubaki or he will perish with her.

Yukiteru ignores this though and despite Yuno's best efforts to get rid of her, Yukiteru continued to protect Tsubaki. When the three reach the gate they discover that the followers are all back to normal and decides that they should face the enemy head on at the gates, but before Yuno becomes violent, Yukiteru stops her and agrees with Tsubaki's plan.

Hirasaka Yomotsu then confronted the three of them telling Yukiteru that the 6th is actually a very cruel person that tortured the 9th and that he is now there to kill her in order to take "Justice" but before he could do that Yuno tricks him and kills him. Tsubaki then showed her true colours and revealed that she was in fact toying with them and used Uryuu as bait in order to help her become "God" she would then kiss Yukiteru, making Yuno go into a rage, Tsubaki tries to hide her diary but Yuno slices off her right arm. The followers and Tsubaki quickly capture Yuno and Yukiteru flees. Tsubaki then tells Yuno that ever since her parents were killed, Tsubaki became the Omekata's plaything so she has endured much more pain then that she is feeling now. She also tells Yuno that the reason she wants to become "God" is so that she can make this "invisable" world "Dissapear".

Tsubaki decides to use Yuno as bait to draw Yukiteru in and told her followers to "play" with Yuno, so that she can now feel what Tsubaki felt. Yukiteru then bursts in and throws her handball into the air, distracting her followers and partially destracting her. Tsubaki then goes into a flurry and tries to make out what happened but before she can do anything, Yukiteru pierces a dart through her diary, Tsubaki then begins to cry, finally realizing that she has found her handball shortly before dying.

Because of her death, mass Omekata suicides begun around the country, including Reisuke Houjou's parents.

After Amano leaps back two years in time, Tsubaki feels something starnge and tells the followers to not let her mum and dad go yet. A follower then discovers a bomb planted in the car, thus Tsubaki's parents were not killed and the Omekata never became a cult, saving Tsubaki from her life of misery and death.
