I am Ushiromiya Natsuhi. I will protect the honor of the Ushiromiya family...!!—Natsuhi Ushiromiya, End of the Golden Witch
Profile
Krauss's wife. She manages the household of the Ushiromiya family in place of her husband, who takes little interest in such matters. She was in charge of all preparations and arrangements for this family conference. She possesses a strong sense of responsibility, and a great deal of pride. However, neither her husband nor her siblings understand her very well, so her position is far from enviable. |
Background
Natsuhi is descended from a line of noble Shinto priests, who arranged for her to marry into the Ushiromiya family after Kinzo leveraged his financial success against them. From a young age, Natsuhi was trained to be a "good wife". She is frequently antagonized by Eva Ushiromiya due to her relationship with Krass, the successor of the Ushiromiya family. For some time after marrying Krauss, the pair struggled to conceive. In the miracle fragment, this led to Natsuhi adopting Lion Ushiromiya. However, in every other fragment, Natsuhi rejects Lion, resulting in the accidental cliff incident. Regardless, Natsuhi later gives birth to Jessica Ushiromiya.
Natsuhi is particularly attached to a spirit mirror given to her by her family after her marriage.Appearance
Natsuhi appears as a voluptuous woman with fair skin and brown eyes. She wears a purple dress and green earrings. Her hair appears as two different shades of brown. Because she married into the Ushiromiya family, Natsuhi is not allowed to wear the One-Winged Eagle on her person.Personality
Natsuhi is a very strict and serious woman who has been described as "stiff" by multiple characters. However, she hides a surprisingly short temper and tends to shout quite a bit. She is also very loyal and responsible, and tends to bottle up her feelings and write them down in her diaries so that she will forget about them rather than express herself.
Natsuhi is tormented by the deaths of the servant and baby during the cliff incident and implies that this event is the source of her constant headaches. Some years prior to 1986, the husband of the servant who fell from the cliff died and Natsuhi confessed to the servant's death over his grave.Plot
Legend of the Golden Witch
After waking up, Natsuhi discovers her room's door covered in bloody hand prints with the charm intact. She dismisses it as a prank, but is later shocked and pained when she is summoned to the site of the first set of murders and tries to keep the children away from there. After they realize Kinzo is also missing from his study, Natsuhi brings a rifle with her from his collection in order to use as self defense. Eva suspects Natsuhi for Kinzo's disappearance but Battler defends her.
After Eva, Hideyoshi, Kinzo and [anon's corpses are discovered, the remaining survivors barricade themselves in Kinzo's study. A letter from Beatrice appears, causing Natsuhi to suspect the servants and Maria, who are then expelled from the study. After the three servants were found dead in the parlor, Natsuhi is seen leaving, reading a letter of challenge issued to her from Beatrice. A gunshot is heard and the cousins find Natsuhi dead and crumpled on the floor.Turn of the Golden Witch
