Description
Yoshiko Tsushima, who insists on the alias "Yohane," is a central character first introduced as a Uranohoshi Girls' High School first-year. After its closure and a brief stint at Seishin High, she fully integrates into Numazu High School as a second-year. Born in Numazu's urban district, she attended kindergarten with Hanamaru Kunikida, whom she affectionately calls "Zuramaru." Her mother works as a teacher.
Pronounced chuunibyou tendencies define Yoshiko, driving her to craft the elaborate persona of "Yohane, the Fallen Angel." She claims banishment from heaven for angering God, resulting in a human vessel and a curse of extreme misfortune. This manifests as constant mishaps: rain during outings, slipping on snow, never winning lotteries, and falling ill before exams. She attributes Aqours' setbacks to this curse, blaming herself. As Yohane, she adopts a theatrical, cunning demeanor with a lower-pitched voice, accessorizing with dark, devilish clothing. She demands to be addressed only as "Yohane," crossing out her real name and referencing "Satan" Lucifer as her godfather. This persona originated in kindergarten and solidified in middle school, causing social difficulties and embarrassment. Beneath this lies genuine kindness, and she treasures Aqours' acceptance of her Yohane identity. She affectionately calls friends "little demons," notably dubbing Riko Sakurauchi "Little Demon Lili/Riri." Her compassion emerges when helping Riko overcome a fear of dogs. Though socially awkward, she can engage normally when necessary, like during reconciliations with third-year members. She prefers indoor activities, sharing with Hanamaru a challenge in relating to the outgoing third-years until shared experiences bridge the gap. Yoshiko enjoys extremely spicy food and dislikes coffee and mikan.
Her development centers on embracing her dual identity. Initially attempting to abandon Yohane to live "normally," she avoids school after relapsing into chuunibyou behavior. After Hanamaru discovers her hiding, Chika Takami invites her to join Aqours. When the group adopts her fallen angel theme, leading to disciplinary issues, Yoshiko quits, feeling responsible. She rejoins after they affirm their acceptance of Yohane. This acceptance helps reconcile her identity, though Ruby and Hanamaru still tease her, causing her to revert to a high-pitched, flustered voice. Loyalty surfaces during emotional moments, such as comforting Ruby. Post-Uranohoshi's closure, she transfers to Numazu High, continuing idol activities while maintaining the Yohane persona.
In the spin-off *Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror*, an alternate Yoshiko reimagines her as a fortune teller in Numazu. After failing as an idol in Tokai, she returns home reluctantly, aided by a talking wolf familiar, Lailaps. Unaware her singing harbors magic, she resolves community problems influenced by malevolent entities like "miasma" or "Loveca Gems." This Yohane retains dramatic flair but navigates a rustic, sometimes fantastical setting, interacting with analogs of Aqours members—e.g., Hanamaru as a baker, Riko as a zoologist. Her mother, a traveling scholar, pressures her to socialize.
Yoshiko excels in video games (particularly fighting and racing genres), magic tricks, and video editing, handling Aqours' video content. She streams as Yohane online, performing fortune-telling despite her poor luck. Her hobbies include adopting "little devil" aesthetics and late-night "demonic rituals." Academically capable, she manages homework diligently. Physically, she has navy blue hair styled in a high side bun, magenta eyes, and a slender build. Her image color is white, though often represented with gray, black, or blue-gray. Outside school, she favors gothic fashion.
