Tenjō Amanohokosaka

Tenjō Amanohokosaka (天ノ矛坂テンジョウ) was Bang Shishigami's former sensei and leader of Ikaruga before she was slain by Jin Kisaragi during the Ikaruga Civil War. This caused Bang to seek revenge on her.

Appearance
Tenjō appears to be a wise young woman with long dark purple hair and wears it in a similar style to her ancestor, Mei Amanohokosaka. She wore a white mask with a red design symbol to conceal her face. She wears a Japanese red and white outfit reminiscent of empress with a purple cloak.

History
She was the former wielder of the Nox Nyctores, Phoenix: Rettenjō, who passed it on to Bang before dying. In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Relius Clover revealed that Tenjō was also aware of the Rettenjō's true power as an Anti-Nox weapon and could have used its true power to bring victory for Ikaruga over NOL. However, she also realized the greater calamity that would come if he used the Nox, so she instead did not use it and passed it on to Bang, resulting in her death at the hands of Jin Kisaragi and the defeat of the Ikaruga Federation forces in the war.

Tenjō was the previous Imperator of the Novus Orbis Librarium and her full name was Tenjō Amanohokosaka, making her a descendant of Mei Amanohokosaka.

Tenjō's soul is sealed inside the Phoenix: Rettenjō; she sealed her soul inside of it before Jin killed her, so the latter only killed an empty shell. She did this to create an alternate method for activating Kushinada's Lynchpin.

Kagura Mutsuki, another one of Tenjō's disciples, had the responsibility of protecting Tenjō's child, Homura Amanohokosaka, who is the true heir to the title of Imperator.
