Name: Ikuto Tsukiyomi
Series: Shugo Chara!
Timeline: End of Chapter 30
Canon Resource Links: Shugo Chara! | Ikuto
Personality:
The best way to describe Ikuto would be calling him a 'stray cat'. Given the choice, he wanders around and does as he pleases without caring about limits or what's expected of him. It's natural for him to find the routes that nobody takes and follow his own little rules. While he is bound to a set of rules because of his family, he bends them as much as it's possible just to annoy the people holding him in a leash. He knows he can't go against the company's word too much because of his family and friends, but it wouldn't be any fun if he'd just be a silent and obedient pawn.
Ikuto is sometimes a cold person on the outside, but that's only to protect the ones he cares about. He's declared himself as a the 'black cat' who brings brings misfortune to others: therefore it would be better if no one was close to him. This is why he keeps a distance to everyone or acts like a jerk towards them. He's seen as the bad guy even if he wouldn't really be one. Strictly speaking he has no other choice because of his family issues ('Everyone born under the name Tsukiyomi will serve as the pawns for Easter'). He holds a deep dislike towards his adoptive father and while he obeys his orders he doesn't act friendly towards him in any situation.
No matter what the situation, his will to protect those important to him is strong. He would go as far as to disobey orders if it meant to protect the people important to him. He would even endure the pain of being a criminal if it meant that others wouldn't need to become that way. He's always disliked the fact that Utau became a bad person 'for Ikuto' because he thinks she shouldn't be involved and should sing and perform only because she wants to. After Utau was freed from Easters' control, he purposely put some distance between them so that she wouldn't be pulled back to the world once again. He also hurt Hinamori Amu deeply with his actions and words just to make her hate him - so that she wouldn't try to come too close and get hurt even worse in the progress. Another one Ikuto wishes to protect by appearing to be a bad guy is Tadase Hotori who's like a little brother to him. The situation between them has escalated to be as bad as them being clear enemies, but Ikuto thinks it's better this way, even if it does make him a bit sad.
While he appears very secretive and serious, that definitely isn't all of him. He's actually quite mischievous and a teaser. Whenever Amu is around him, he 'can't help it' and teases the girl mercilessly with words and actions. He's taken a huge liking to this girl and has admitted that he likes her in more ways than one (even if Amu thought of it as a joke). It's not only Ikuto's mischievousness and teasing side that appears whenever Amu is around: she also brings forth compassion and a certain amount of playfulness. He's good at helping her to get back to her feet and making her feel better and he does so without asking anything in return. He also provokes others just to see their reaction: Tadase is usually his target for insults and mockery whenever he gets a chance.
You could also say Ikuto is slightly antisocial. While he shows sides that make him sociable and rather fun to hang out with, he rarely meets people. Most days he'd rather take a nap on a tree or on a hill rather than go out with friends. He doesn't talk to total strangers much, or if he does it's just a few words here and there. Sometimes when he's annoyed he tends to end up in trouble. He's picked up a fight with some guys on the street when they were harassing girls just because he wasn't feeling too well at the moment.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Agile: Even without his Shugo Chara abilities, Ikuto is rather fast and he's able to move in more difficult places.
+ Charming: He's able to use his looks as an advantage with the help of alluring words.
+ Observant: He's able to notice things quickly, sometimes even when people try to hide them.
+/- Emotional endurance: Ikuto is pretty good at doing things he dislikes at the price of hurting himself - but he's good at holding his emotions back and appearing to be fine.
+/- Loner: Counts as a strength and weakness because while he's strong enough to live alone and separated from others, he's also a bit too used to being by himself so he takes his loneliness for granted.
+/- Utau/Family: While protecting Utau from harm makes him stronger, it also serves as a weakness as he's easily manipulated into things "for the sake of his family".
+/- Amu: The girl has a positive effect on him in and brings out his better sides, but the he's also more easily distracted and manipulated when it comes to the topic of protecting her.
- Locking emotions: Ikuto rarely shows his true feelings right of the bat. He keeps his emotions to himself and appears to be feeling something he's definitely not. Because of that the bad feelings build up inside him.
- Trouble magnet: The worse he feels the more likely he's going to get into trouble - may it be a street fight or a an argument with someone.
- No longer a cat: It may take a while for him to realize that he's no longer able to move like a cat as he pleases.
