A former Catastrophe Messenger from Higashi, Tsukinogi's sensitive perception allows her to detect approaching Catastrophes from the most minute of changes and communicates that information with cities. Her abilities also make her well-suited to locating and tracking hidden enemies. It is recommended to assign her to work requiring reconnaissance and stealth.

You should take a little break. It's good for you. Of course that is true, aren't you glad to hear that?
Those who chase Catastrophes are called 'Yakumeguri', or as they say here, 'Catastrophe Messengers.' The job is bitter and tiring, and we are often ridiculed by ordinary civilians and bureaucrats alike. Will my lot improve as an operator? No? Hehe, such is life.
Tomorrow's weather... hmm, I see... My dear boss, remember to bring an umbrella with you when you leave tomorrow.
If I could have stayed in Higashi, I would not have come all the way here. But with these stones on my flesh… there's simply nowhere to call home.
I would rather offer my salary to those in need than stash it away in my lodgings. Considering how little there is, it serves a better purpose in the hands of the needy. Besides, their smiles and words of thanks really warm my heart.
I often wonder if the strange words that occasionally spill from my mouth are born of my own consciousness, or if they are bestowed upon me by the Kami-sama I have never met. The ritual verses of my relatives are all drawn from age-old scriptures, but I've always blurted mine out. It is quite confusing, to be honest.
Again and again we prance, posture, sing, and pray, with no tolerance for the slightest discrepancies. Some people find joy in filling their lives with these things, and tell others that it will bring joy to the high heavens. How truly sinful.
My clan and I lived in the mountains, not far from a Shinto shrine. At the foot of the mountain was a Buddhist temple, where the monks would return at night. Now for the question, Doctor. What do you think would happen? Hehe, I shall leave the answer on your table, feel free to take a look when you have time.
Up so late, Doctor? Do you still have something on your mind? Thoughtful eloquence is your strong suit, but don't let it get in the way of your sleep. Here, I have some incense from Higashi for you. Just one sniff, and you'll... Oh my, I didn't expect it to be this effective. Well, I suppose I shall stand guard for you tonight.
Close your eyes, and calm your mind. Good~
Pleased to meet you. It simply would not do if I was to forget my introduction, yes? I am Tsukinogi, formerly part of a small Yakumeguri group in Higashi. It is an honor to work under you.
Tsukinogi was recommended to Rhodes Island by a group of Catastrophe Messengers. According to Provence, there is a vast communication network among Catastrophe Messengers that spans national borders. Through this network, many people are able to pick up the mantle of Catastrophe Messenger, and it also provides a source of employment for those who are unable to hold steady employment. Tsukinogi is a clear example of the efficiency of this network. Without a hub of communication and information exchange, there is no way that someone in Higashi could connect with Rhodes Island thousands of miles away using a conventional messenger. In any case, she is now with us, acquainting herself with her new environment, building relationships, and dealing with everything related to Catastrophes as usual.
'What shrine did Tsukinogi come from anyway? As a person from Higashi, it's too embarrassing that I can't figure it out.' 'A shrine with a Buddhist temple at the foot of the mountain, with a particularly good relationship... There's only one place like that, have you heard of it?' 'Oh shoot, is it the one that's mentioned in your favorite book?' 'Yes, that one. Isn't that actually Taisha?!' 'Yeah.' 'Her family name should be a one-character name then.' 'Yeah.' 'I got it.' 'Her family name is Elafia.' 'Unknown Higashi dialect)' 'I don't even know how I'm supposed to greet her anymore.' 'What does she call you now?' 'Ahaha...' 'Stop laughing, just tell me.' 'S-sir. Hehe.' 'Well, why not just keep things the way they are?' 'Yeah, I should.' ...... 'Why do you think she joined a Catastrophe Patrol then?' 'She says she was tired of the Kagura nonsense, but I don't buy that for a second.' 'It must have something to do with the Catastrophes then. Maybe she felt like trying to save a few more cities was more worthwhile than dancing in a shrine?' 'Have a little more respect, will you!' 'Woah, calm down, she doesn't even care.' 'But I care!!' 'Fine, fine, respect, respect.' 'To be honest, she probably was Higashi's best Catastrophe Messenger. Judging from the files she's provided, her successful early warning ratio is twice as high as ours here.' 'As a Catastrophe Messenger, the most important thing besides being able to warn someone about an impending Catastrophe is having that person believe you. Even if our Messengers report the matter, city officials often do not comply.' 'But not the case with her.' 'After all, she is a daughter of Taisha.' ...... 'Have you checked the approximate location of the Catastrophe that resulted in her contracting Oripathy?' 'It's not far from her hometown, and Taisha would've been within its affected zone.' 'It happened during a big festival, and there were people everywhere. In the end, it's excusable that they couldn't evacuate the entire region.' 'After all, in order to prevent disaster, it is not just enough to persuade the believers to leave - everyone near the entire site had to be persuaded to evacuated.' 'And she almost pulled it off, except for one little bit.' 'She managed to evacuate cities small and large alike, but in the end, it was her own family that would not listen to her?' 'After all, the public can heed the words of a Kagura-dancing heiress to the shrine, but at the same time...' 'Yeah......' 'Man proposes, God disposes, huh?' —Excerpt from a recording of a conversation between two HR personnel

Oh, a reward? Now, now, how should I use this?
The white night is a raging fire, through which a dark haze lingers. I asketh thee, where dost thy steps cease? Take things one step at a time, and do not stray off the path.
I will not fall short of your expectations.
Great is the responsibility of leading others.
The time has come. Let us go.
There are more important things to do than pray.
Yes.
Very well.
Impurity be purged.
Soul be cleansed.
Dark flame rising, devouring existence.
Drown in the gloaming, lost in silence.
Land unending, we walk in ignorance.
Back down, before this exalted brilliance!
I was not able to help at all, but that is a cause for celebration.
Congratulations! A perfect conclusion to this mission.
The small issues that besmirch our results can be left to me. You may take your leave.
Reckless moves often bring bad results. Let us reflect upon our plan once more.
I have no demands of my accommodations, so please assign me as you will.
Hmm?
If there is anything displeasing to you, please let me know. Yes, anything at all.
Arknights.
What was the first word you said this year? Hmm... I do believe that is a fortuitous omen. Rhodes Island will be blessed by good fortune this year. Congratulations.
Have you been well, Doctor?
Here, give me your hand. Don't be nervous. Just follow my steps... Look, our hair flutters in the breeze risen by the movement of my arms, and our clothes sway in an elegant arc. Sharing a dance together is a beautiful thing, wouldn't you agree?
Oh my... It has been quite some time since we were able to have fun like this. Sure enough, many things become enjoyable once you discard the formalities. Doctor, sit here. You are not allowed to go anywhere until this bottle of wine is empty.
Before becoming a Catastrophe Messenger, Tsukinogi was a shrine maiden at a Shinto shrine. Due to her strong request, we have hidden the name and exact location of the shrine in the file. The only thing we were allowed to record is that the shrine built atop the mountain maintains a stable, cooperative relationship with a Buddhist temple at the base of the mountain. According to our assessment of the situation, the locals seem to recognize the teachings of both the shrine and the temple, suggesting that the two faiths have been intertwined in practice for some time now. Such a thing is virtually unheard of here. Is this a common practice in Higashi? It has come to our attention that Tsukinogi has disclosed information about what happened afterwards to the Doctor, but the Doctor in turn has not relayed any information to us. This is quite distressing.
Tsukinogi is skilled in dance. When she wears her elegant, long robes, almost everyone is mesmerized by her moves. When she has free time, she often goes to the dance room to relax or to teach. While her moves are gentle and agile, flourishing her hands through the air, her feet barely make any noise. As long as she is willing, she can happily spend an entire afternoon with someone with even no dance experience, making them feel as if the two are dancing in harmony. She is familiar with most dance styles from both Higashi and Yan, and is very experienced with the ceremonial Kagura dances. However, this is the one type of dance that she refuses to do. According to HR personnel, her reason for this stems from her belief that Kagura dances are antiquated and dull, and only serve to blaspheme the gods while also making the dancers unhappy. Given Tsukinogi's usually gentle words and demeanor, her strong beliefs in this matter are all the more convincing and are perhaps related to her unwillingness to become a shrine maiden.
Because of her insight into others' emotions and her experience with clergy duties, Tsukinogi can easily touch most tender portions of one's heart. She is certainly not omniscient, but by carefully observing the nuances of words and expressions, she can correct identify someone's mental state a vast majority of the time. With her mysterious rhetoric, a few simple Originium Arts techniques, and her charming personality, there are many people willing to go out of their way to accommodate her. As a result of almost universal praise and adoration, Tsukinogi naturally was painted with an aura of benevolence, and was able to establish a vast relationship network. Of course, unlike people who network for the sake of money or benefits, Tsukinogi embraced an altruistic and dedicated approach to dealing with others. This was, after all, the reason she became a Catastrophe Messenger in the first place, and is also the reason why her initial probation period was half the duration of most other operators. The operator who compiled Tsukinogi's file was originally distressed about the fact that the Doctor had been keeping secrets regarding Tsukinogi's past, but after talking with Tsukinogi, that operator has since become a firm supporter. By the looks of things, she is better than most Catastrophe Messengers at earning the trust of others. As for this trust, Tsukinogi credits all of it to the Doctor.
