Description
Natsuhi Ushiromiya, wife of family heir Krauss Ushiromiya, manages household affairs and conferences due to her husband's disinterest. Originally from a Shinto priest family, she abandoned her past upon marriage, cultivating fierce pride in the Ushiromiya name. Her personal struggles include infertility pressures after marriage. Nineteen years prior to the main events, patriarch Kinzo Ushiromiya forced her to adopt his illegitimate infant. Humiliated, Natsuhi later pushed the baby and accompanying servant off a cliff, believing both perished. The child survived with severe genital injuries and was raised as Sayo Yasuda at Fukuin House orphanage. Natsuhi subsequently gave birth to her biological daughter, Jessica. Following Kinzo’s 1984 death, she conspired with Krauss, physician Nanjo, and servants to hide his passing.
Her demeanor is rigid and serious, often described as stiff, though she harbors a volatile temper and shouts when provoked. She internalizes emotions, frequently chronicling them in diaries—a habit rooted in her strict upbringing, which included nightly formal greetings to her father. She struggles to connect with Jessica, responding coldly to misbehavior rather than with Rosa’s fiery discipline. Natsuhi’s defining trait is pride, compelling her to defend family honor at all costs, even through self-sacrifice. This pride initially made adoption unbearable as proof of her infertility failure, though she ultimately loved the child unconditionally.
Family relationships remain strained, particularly with sister-in-law Eva, who mocks Natsuhi’s non-blood ties and derides her as a "borrowed womb." Despite enduring such humiliation, Natsuhi displays resilience under pressure, capable of psychological defiance and leadership in crises. She owns a spirit mirror for warding off evil and possesses naginata skills, though unused. Across episodes, her fate varies: in Legend of the Golden Witch, she is terrorized by calls from "The Man From 19 Years Ago"—claiming to be the abandoned child—who isolates her to void her alibi during murders. After arming herself with Kinzo’s rifle and confronting witch Beatrice, she is found shot dead. In Turn of the Golden Witch, her corpse appears in the chapel with candy-stuffed abdominal wounds. Banquet of the Golden Witch depicts her strangled with a rope-like object and a stake in her calf. Alliance of the Golden Witch shows half her head obliterated by heavy weaponry. End of the Golden Witch focuses intensely on her marriage, the baby incident, Kinzo’s death concealment, and harassment by "The Man From 19 Years Ago."
Natsuhi embodies the sin of Pride within the family dynamic, her arc interwoven with themes of guilt, secrecy, and the repercussions of prioritizing honor above all else.
