Tenjo Amanohokosaka, commonly referred to as Lord Tenjo, is one of the previous Imperator's of the Novus Orbis Librarium. She is the mentor of Bang Shishigami and Kagura Mutsuki, and the mother of Homura Amanohokosaka. She was assassinated during the Ikaruga Civil War by Jin Kisaragi.

Appearance

Tenjo has large, deep red eyes, and long purple hair. White skin, pale lips, and eyelashes the same colour as her hair - her eyelids look as if they could fall at any moment, and most would think she was beautiful. To Jin Kisaragi, she looks exactly like his sister, Saya.

Towards the end of her life, Tenjo wears long white robes with red patterned lines running across it. On top of this she wears a purple robe, the same colour as her hair - both of these robes run down past her feet. On her head, she wears a small purple beret with multiple ornaments adorning it. She is last seen wearing a white mask with a red emblem near the eyes and nose; it covers her entire face.

As a child, Tenjo wore this same beret, and much smaller versions of the robes she would wear in adulthood. They seemed too big for her as a child.

Personality

She spoke with a dignified aura, using older words and showing no fear in the face of death. Tenjo cared greatly for her people and her child, Homura, and would go above and beyond for them both.

Biography

Born to the Amanohokosaka clan, Tenjo became the Imperator at a young age, and took on two students - Kagura Mutsuki and Bang Shishigami, with both becoming members of her personal guard. The details are unknown, but the body she was in was a vessel she was possessing. At some point, Tenjo met a man with brown hair and they had a child together - Homura Amanohokosaka. She would regularly have meetings with the Duodecim.

In the Ikaruga Civil War, a coup d'etat was performed that removed Tenjo from her seat of power by Hazama, Yuuki Terumi, Relius Clover, and Meifang Lapislazuli. She formed the Ikaruga Federation, created an alliance with Sector Seven and the NOL declared war against her. At one point, they were winning the war, but Tenjo had wished to end the war without casualty; the Committee pressured for the war to continue, and she was forced to. Rumours had circulated at this time that she wore a mask to hide a huge scar over her face.

Spiral Shift

She had planned to transfer her soul into the Nox Nyctores - Deus Machina: Nirvana, but Relius stole it, and she was unable to do so. She went down to the basement of the Wadatsumi Castle and looked at the Kushinada's Lynchpin and Phoenix: Rettenjo, taking the latter as she knew it was the last thing she could transfer her soul into, even if it meant living a life where she could not feel - anything. Tenjo transferred her soul, but remained in control of her former body, carrying herself out of the area. [1]

Later on, Tenjo would give the Rettenjo, with her soul inside, to Bang, and issued for her ninjas to evacuate the castle, but Bang stayed by his mistresses' side. Jin Kisaragi stormed the castle using the Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa, and fought Bang, leaving him permanently scarred, and froze the entire room using his Arctic Dungeon technique. Tenjo talked to Jin while Bang screamed for her to escape, but she stayed, and asked him to kill her and to fight against the "death" that will be born. She threw a charm at him, baiting him to kill her - Jin used his Yukikaze technique and killed Tenjo's old body. Jin's memories were erased by Terumi, and Tenjo's old body was replaced by someone with a large scar on their face to match the rumours. [2]

Chrono Phantasma

Bang finally came to realise that Tenjo's soul lay inside the Rettenjo he had been gifted years earlier. Rachel Alucard came to the realisation that there was another way to activate the Lynchpin without using Celica A. Mercury's soul as the catalyst. Tenjo's soul was used instead, and the Rettenjo was hammered into the Lynchpin, stopping the flow of seithr.

Central Fiction

Tenjo's soul was still anchored inside the Lynchpin inside the Embryo. Ragna the Bloodedge took Tenjo's dream using his Soul Eater, and promised her that he would look after the people of Ikaruga, Bang, and most importantly, Homura.

Powers and Techniques

An Arts user who uses charms to fight, almost suggesting that she is a practitioner of Exorcism. Tenjo has a weak body, and uses her mask as a filter for seithr. Despite her physical fragility, she has a remarkably strong soul, remaining inside both the Rettenjo and then Kushinada's Lynchpin, and is able to activate the latter. As her dreams were taken from her by Ragna, it is possible that even after death, she was still marked as one of the chosen.

Trivia

  • In the Japanese versions of all games, Tenjo's gender was never disclosed, and in English localisation, she was considered male before the release of BlazBlue: Spiral Shift - Ice Blade Hero confirmed that Tenjo was a woman.
