You knew this one was coming! "send me a character and i’ll list": Natsuhi
Hiiii, thank you so much for the ask!! :>
It did took me quite a while to answer, i hope it's okay
• favorite thing about them
Her principles <3
The way she cares about ppl, how relatable her fatigue and pain is, often ppl who have strong feeling are mocked and judged for them, treated as less then, as unworthy of listening to, how she cares about being what she thinks is right, and how others percieve her, how her heart is full of care but is so so so exhausted and misguided
Also her hair. Her hair.
• least favorite thing about them
Oh God..Uh, i'd say moments where she's mean to Shannon are quite bad, but i guess my least favourite thing about her stems from my favourite thing about her — she's very rigid in her values. And i find it very inspiring and cool and noble but also. Gurl. None of it is okay. Gurl, you are suffering and making others go through the same. Gurl. None of it was, is or ever gonna be good. For people and in general.
I just naively wish in my heart for her to accept Jessica and learn about Sayo and accept her too. That would fix me i think.

JUAN?!! I HAVE TO PICK JUAAAN LINR?!!!
I cannot. I am sorry to have failed you, dear mutual. Here is top 4 of them, that is the best i can do for you...
1) ...I am Ushiromiya Natsuhi, representative of Ushiromiya family!!! Show yourself, ...Golden Witch, Beatrice!!! [ Beatrice responds to her ] .......So you have finally....shown yourself. ..........I still can't believe... ...That something like you really exists...But that isn't a problem. Both i who bear the title of the representative to the Ushiromiya family... and you who claim to succeed the Headship of Ushiromiya family... are here right now... ...At this point, whether you are a witch or not is trivial matter! .....Come, ....let us settle this. ...Which of us will truly succeed the Ushiromiya family? ...I, Ushiromiya Natsuhi, ......or you, ...Beatrice?!! Allow me to respectfully accept your request for a duel...!!
2) If you want to abuse, me go on! If you want to scoff me, go on! Nobody can hurt honour!
3) ...If you hear me, God, please, look over the daughter that you finally bestowed upon us. I'm sure she'll get headaches like me... No... Without a doubt, she's born and loved by the same unlucky stars as i am, so please, grant my daughter a wonderful, healthy life. Because i am willing to sholder all of her headaches and misfortunes...
4) D-Dear, don't you understand what they're saying about you?! These people are baselessly calling you traitor to Father!! They are making fun of the fact that we protect the glory of the Ushiromiya family, even though we are constantly expending every effort to earn that glory from Father. They trample all of that underfoot their hateful rambling!!! And you don't even try to fight back! Why?! I'm only standing up for us because you won't, but you've been putting the entire burden on me for some time now!!! And now you tell me to go cool my head?! It's always me!!

Ehhh, well, I think all of the relationship with her interest me. But i think the friendly one (aka not family bc i love most of them) i like the most is probably Natsuhi and Gohda's relationship. I intentionally do not see any of markings of scraped affair storyline, i see them as sweet but also fucked up kinda since Gohda did betray her in 5th chapter. I assume? Idk man 5th chapter is nightmare, it's canonical character assasination and that is the point, it is difficult to understand what is happening under layer of meta and witch narrative. I like how it shows that Natsuhi has clearly assigned rules for her relationships regardless of how the person is actually treating her.

Romantically and/or sexually with no one. Platonically with Krauss. The way they care about one another while also not understanding one another, and in Krauss's case misogynystically refusing to understand her, it's tragic but also love was there. It did not save anything, but they would die and live for eachother. I love them so much i cannot put it in words.
Natsuhi gave him everything she has. Because beside this she had no choice. But she decided to give her whole heart. Constantly supporting him, wanting to be of help, wanting to be recognised for this service she wishes to provide, she wants to be great at supporting and caring for him, bc she believes it to be her main purpose, as a woman. That is so fucked up, but the depth of her care makes me fucking cry man.
Krauss tried to be a good person but similar to Natsuhi he cares a fuckton abt living up to parental standards regarding gender. Natsuhi is not allowed in certain rooms of the mansion. She manages the servants. She came up with the plan to save Krauss's ass, when he stopped lying to her abt him being succesufull. She never told him her favourite season. She doesn't think he'd be able to easily say. Krauss took her away on their honeymoon and tried to be kind to her. It was humilating for her. It felt like pity. It took her time and effort to accept that it wasn't. He wants to lie and pretend everything is good bc he wants to be manly and succesufull like his father. Natsuhi wants to be treated like an equal. It breaks her heart to be lied to after she gave everything. Natsuhi is the one doing lions part of parenting. She is the president of parent's comittee. Krauss doesn't defend her from insults. Unlike his men friends.
I can and should go on forever. It's so bad it's insane. It makes me mad, they care for eachother so much. Their marriage is awful. Their marriage is the best way it could have turned out. I feel like crying.

EvaNatsu. I really hate how ppl characterise them in such relationship, 1) it degrades and diminishes established characters values in my opinion: e.i. neither would cheat 2) amato and hetero normative as fuck: ppl can and do have strong feelings and reactions on one another without any romantic/sexual feelings; ppl operate based on degrading old stereotypes, assasinating characters, like portraying Natsuhi as sopping wet bottom whos into degradation bc she's more trad feminine/they project onto her and Eva as this evil sexy teaser or whatever is just weird at this point, it has nothing to do with the actual characters, like you can make up your own characters based on whatever sexual dynamics (no matter how cliche or heteronormative it is) you find appealing, they just have little to no in common with the og characters. I needed that rant, man. Like, sure yeah ppl can do whatever but i don't have to like it
• random headcanon
I hc she has depression and that she's aroace! I guess it's not very random. I headcanon she has naturally so much eyelashes bc of condition and she has rather bad eyesight. I long to see her in glasses...
• Unpopular opinion
I respect her and find her cool and inspiring while tragic. I wish more ppl did too :'<
• Song i associate with them
Oh goddddd why there is limit on quantity man!!
From the game: 1) fortitude, the pain, i cannot talk about it... 2) system 0, it plays when she sends everyone including her 9yo niece to murderers bc they're suspicious of being murderers. Insanely, she WAS right. 3) Future, waaah the feels. 4) Soul of soul, it doesn't actually play first with Natsuhi, but it reminds me of her, it's hopefull and somber 5) Discolor, i am basic the 5th game trial makes me enraged and desperate and crying
Not from the game: 1) Ridnym by LELEKA IT'S SO GOOD 2) Bird of Pray by Ziferblat 3) Wife by mitski 4) somewhere that's green 5) lovefool by twocolours/ i remember how those boys could dance from carrie
• Favourite picture of them
