Kaetsu Kasumi (カ悦 花澄)



Name: Kaetsu Kasumi (カ悦 花澄)
Name meaning: カ (ka) means ‘power’, 悦 (etsu) means ‘joy’, 花 (ka) means ‘blossom’, and 澄 (sumi) means ‘pure'
Hero Name: Tentōmushi (天道虫)
From: Japan
Era: Muromachi period (~1565)
Faceclaim: Matsuoka Mayu

Headcanons:
-Uses the pronoun 'uchi' (a feminine way of referring to oneself) as Kasumi and uses the pronoun 'watashi' (a formal, gender neutral way of referring to oneself) as Tentōmushi
-Favourite food is tsukemono onigiri. As a kunoichi/miko, she would have traveled a lot, and rice balls are easy to make and carry around with you, and can be eaten quickly. As for the pickled vegetables, pickling is an easy way to preserve food, and meat was rare for people in the lower classes of society 
-Calls Tikki 'Tikki-sama' and Tikki calls her 'Kasumi-chan'
-Tikki usually hides in her sleeves
-Based on the little we know about her, it looks like she might be one of Mochizuki Chiyome’s trained kunoichi from modern-day Nagano prefecture. Mochizuki began recruiting girls in 1561. Most of them were alone for one reason or another - orphaned, lost, or abandoned, still recovering from the Sengoku period that was full of battles between various domains. Others were prostitutes. I headcanon Tentōmushi as either an orphaned or abandoned young girl (perhaps a hāfu?)
-I’ve given her the name Kaetsu Kasumi, however, most people didn’t have family names at this point in Japanese history unless they were from the noble or samurai classes. Anyone else was just X son of Y or X from Z. Why have I given her a family name? Because I like Japanese names.
-Her artwork gives her the title ‘The Assassin’, which makes sense. If she was also known to the general public, however, she would probably have been fairly well-regarded. The Japanese word for ladybug, tentōmushi, is written 天道虫. 天 (ten) means ‘heavenly, divine,’ 道 () means ‘way’ (and is the same character used in bushidō, the way of the warrior), and 虫 (mushi) means ‘insect’. Other Miraculous wielders that would have been especially well-regarded in Japan would be: the Fox Miraculous wielder (Aka Kitsune), as Inari, the Japanese god of foxes, fertility, rice, tea, sake, and many other things, is one of the most popular in Japan (over a third of Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to Inari); the Turtle Miraculous wielder (Hisuikame), the Dragon Miraculous wielder (Ryūjin), and the Tiger Miraculous wielder (Tora), due to the myths of the Four Symbols now we just need a Phoenix Miraculous hint hint. The Cat Miraculous wielder (Kuroneko) would also not be associated with bad luck as they would in the West.

Tikki


Tikki is the kwami of the Ladybug Miraculous. She represents the power of creation. Her Miraculous is a pair of earrings and her holders wield a yo-yo. To activate the Ladybug Miraculous, the holder must say 'Spots On'. To deactivate the Ladybug Miraculous, the holder must say 'Spots Off'. The Ladybug Miraculous' special superpowers are 'Lucky Charm', which creates an object that will help in the current situation, and 'Miraculous Ladybug', where the holder throws the Lucky Charm object into the air and it fixes any damage done since the appearance of a villain.

Tikki likes to eat sweets to regain her energy.
