"..you're worried about the deaths, aren't you? It's only the ghouls, so.. we'll be okay, right?""Y-Yeah.. of course we will."
Full name:
Mizushima Natsuko - or, by her ghoul alias, the "Theater Fox"; "Phantom of the Opera" is a derogatory variant sometimes used.
Appearance:
Natsuko stands at a fair 5 feet and 6 inches with a build sitting somewhere between average and lean. She has plain brown eyes with natural black hair, which sits at about neck length and is normally worn in a small bun or ponytail with the fringe out or pinned back, which isn't long enough to fit into it. She normally dresses in an androgynous fashion, typically sporting clothing from the mens section.
Species:
Ghoul.
Ghoul mask:
Natsuko wears a [Kitsune mask] in situations where her genuine identity may be linked to that of her ghoul one. The mask itself bears intricate detail and matches the description of a mask reported stolen from the Moto Theater Group four years ago - thus, "Theater Fox". The bells on the mask were deliberately removed, leaving small holes in the ears.
Age:
Twenty-one (21).
Gender:
Female ♀.
Personality:
Natsuko is a person who's primarily characterized by her neutrality and her as-the-wind-blows, broadly accepting approach to life - not because she's open-minded, but rather because she's not particularly phased by a lot of things. On the other side of the same coin, when she is phased by something, she normally responds passionately if not even somewhat violently in support of her beliefs; in this regard, she's very black-and-white.
With ghouls dropping dead in the hundreds, no doubt including people she knew, Natsuko's currently a little dejected and lifeless - as much as she hates to admit it alongside the majority of her faults, she's afraid of death, and also afraid of her potential death from the mysterious circumstances linking her to being a ghoul, even post-mortem. She's most at home when she's in a workshop, particularly when it comes to sports cars, and is an active part of the illegal street racing scene which she both enjoys and does for stress relief; she also smokes for stress relief, having recently relapsed after her third unsuccessful attempt to quit.
Biography:
Natsuko was born in Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture, as the oldest of two children - although her family moved to Tokyo shortly after her birth following concerns regarding food in the much smaller city, now with a child to feed on top of themselves. Her father, who's "human" alter ego was that of a sales analyst, insisted that Natsuko receive a proper education and as such, she attended school like humans her age where she, on top of the standard curriculum, learned what it was to act "human". She values the human lifestyle - one which she perceives as a lifestyle focused around interpersonal relations, personal achievement, and contribution to the community, as opposed to the much more primal lifestyle of hunting and survival for ghouls - and for most of her life, has aspired to blend in as seamlessly as possible.
Between ages 15 and 17, Natsuko struggled with her primal urges to hunt and feed; during this stage, she was incredibly active as a hunting ghoul and frequently tipped the radar of and even skirmished with CCG on occasion, which later led to her reclassification from B to A. She turned to smoking for some relief, but found it had little effect, although she continued to rely on it as a vice for stress relief; since picking it up, she's attempted three times to quit, with her most recent unsuccessful attempt only ending within the month. This caused her grades to begin to dip until eventually, shortly before her 17th birthday, she outright stopped going to school against her fathers wishes. This behavior was out-of-character for her which piqued the interest of her teachers and more notably, her best friend: Ikeda Yasu, a human. Natsuko's father eventually pulled her out of school and shortly after, Yasu - who always had an "active" approach to looking after her friends - discovered that Natsuko was a ghoul and as if it were the only choice there was, much to Natsuko's relief, made a pact to keep her secret. With her help, Natsuko later began an automechanics apprenticeship that same year.
Originally, Natsuko lived with her parents in the 12th Ward, but following the outbreak of Shi no te, she moved in with Yasu's family in the 20th ward - which ultimately worked out better for her, as she works at the family-owned Ryuu Motors in the very same ward - in order to better avoid the influenza. Her younger brother and her mother are among the scores of ghouls abruptly dead from the virus - fortunately, by a hairs width, neither corpses were found and in turn never identified as ghouls, although this is no doubt her fathers doing.
For now, Natsuko is an automechanic at a small-time, family-owned workshop by day, a rising star in the Tokyo street racing scene by night, and the A-rated ghoul "Theater Fox" as need be. She lives with her best friends, Yasu's, family as if she was one of their own, and in turn puts in great effort to take on her share and more of the household tasks to try and ease the guilt she feels for "imposing" on them, which they insist it's not. She has a particularly close relationship with the families youngest daughter, an 11-year-old human named Hotaru. She hunts normally every second night and when does, she normally tries to lure or catch people in secluded alleyways, where she favors a brief fast-and-hard approach as supported by her RC type; when three or more quinques are involved she almost always runs, hence the derogatory nickname "Phantom of the Opera" used by some CCG investigators. Much like her personality, she's black-and-white with CCG investigators - she either goes full frontal, or full retreat, which is something particularly noted on her CCG file. Her CCG file also suggests that she's a part of the illegal street racing scene and a focus on the investigation on her revolves around identifying her car and registration - which happens to be a [white 2014 Nissan Skyline GTR] with the registration 39-80, if they were to obtain such a lead.
