Tenko Chabashira

Tenko Chabashira (茶柱 転子 Chabashira Tenko) is a character featured in New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing.

Tenko is titled as the Ultimate Aikido Master (超高校級の「合気道家」chō kōkō kyū no “aikidō-ka”).

Appearance
Tenko has a fair skin tone, sharp green eyes and long black hair put into two long pigtails. Her hair is held by long white ribbons, a large green bow with a white floral pattern and she also wears a purple headband. She wears a blue school uniform top that stops above her bellybutton, a frilly blue skirt, white stockings that end under the knee and zōri. She has a beauty mark under her mouth and she has a pink choker with a yellow bell.

Personality
Tenko appears to have quite a negative view towards boys, as she believes that boys are always the first to lie and they'll always shift the blame right away.

She seems to panic in a class trial if she is suspected to be the culprit. She also refers to herself in third person.

According to Kiibo, she might try punching others despite being the Ultimate Aikido Master, implying that she can be aggressive.

Trivia

 * Her first name, 転子 Tenko, means "rolling child". This is a reference to her talent, as aikido includes rolling in its techniques.


 * 茶柱 Chabashira (lit. "tea pillar"), is a figurative term referring to a how, when drinking green tea made with chopped tea stalks (see Kukicha), a few thin stems can go through the kettle into the drinker's cup and float around near the surface of the liquid. Chabashira specifically is when one such stalk ends up floating completely upright - an uncommon occurrence that is considered a lucky omen.


 * In a Famitsu article from October 6th, it has been revealed that Tenko refers to herself in third person, similarly to Angie Yonaga.
 * Some examples of other characters who also speak in third person within the series are Ibuki Mioda and Monaca Towa.
