"I wish I could speak with her again. I want to apologize to her.
The more I dwell, the more the regret swells.
The more I dwell, the more the pain itches and burns in my heart.
Even if she said it on a whim, I could have kept her with me..."
Strix (ストリックス) is a former member of the now disbanded Bankikai, having acted as one of its co-leaders and second in command to its leader, Ogre. Due to a series of tragic events involving Ogre's sacrifice and her close friend Zohar getting corrupted from the Abyss, Strix has now lost her powers and has been greatly injured.
Nowadays, she uses the name "Tsukuyomi" and is constantly accompanied by Byakuya, who believes her to be the reincarnation of his late sister under the same name.
Appearance[]
Strix is a young woman with long dark purple hair, pale skin, and dark violet eyes.
As "Tsukuyomi", she wears a school uniform consisting of a long-sleeved shirt with white accents and long pleated skirt colored identically to her eyes, a mulberry pink tie, long black socks and brown loafers. Strix wears a lily in her hair in this outfit, one that she grew herself.[2]
While part of Bankikai, Strix had her hair in a ponytail and wore a grey short dress on top of an identically-colored bodysuit that left her bust area exposed and held together by eight belts. With her, she wielded a gun and needles given to her by Ogre for self defense.[3] This uniform, which was worn by Zohar too, was designed by him as well.[3]
While recovering from the injury Zohar had inflicted upon her and before meeting Byakuya, Strix had her hair down and wore a long white hospital gown.

Story[]
Strix and her good friend Zohar have been members of Bankikai ever since the beginning, acting as Ogre's loyal assistants. Ever since Strix discovered her EXS powers, she became Ogre's right-hand woman, which caused Zohar to be jealous of Strix's new position. While all seemed well, Strix never knew about her close friend's true feelings for her.
Scenario: Ancient Guardian and The Devil's King (古の守人と鬼哭の王)
TBA
Scenario: "A Girl Serene" (月を見る少女)
When Zohar gets too close to the Abyss, she ends up getting horrifically scarred by the amounts of EXS she took in. Soon, she goes insane and decides to get rid of Strix. The enraged Zohar manages to deliver a near-fatal blow to Strix's chest, causing her Vessel to break before running off to parts unknown. The unusual scar on her chest serves as a constant reminder of what happened that day.
Ever since, Strix had wandered under the Hollow Night all alone without any access to her powers as an In-Birth. One night, Strix encounters a strange boy who starts to refer to her as his "Sister". The boy, named Byakuya, promises to protect Strix on her search as long as she acts as a replacement for Byakuya's late sister.

Abilities[]
Strix's ability is known as the Tree of Life, Sephiroth (
During her days as Strix, she wore Bankikai's female uniform while participating in battles the group had. However, she was always a non-combatant member only giving help to Ogre as a "buffer". During battles, Strix's EXS is mostly used on boosting Ogre's powers. This on the other hand leaves her unable to fight with EXS powers if such a situation comes - that's why Ogre has ordered Strix to carry a pistol as a weapon of self-defense.[3] Strix has never used the pistol nor saw any need to use it.
If needed, she fights using the needles she has. Using her EXS, she can summon forth tree roots and control them like tentacles. She mainly uses this power for defending herself. Strix is extremely bad in fighting on her own and isn't even interested in it. She can win a fight if needed, but always tried to evade fights or escape from them.
However, she is currently in a "Zero Vessel" (ゼロヴェセル) state and can't use her powers because of the wound inflicted by Zohar. She can barely sense the flow of EXS, but she is unable to interfere with it.
