Tsubaki Yayoi

Tsubaki is Jin's childhood friend and Noel's former roommate from the Military Academy and a member of the NOL's 0th Division. She is a playable character in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.

Information
During the Military Academy, she was close friends with Noel and Makoto. She's described as a straight A student, and has a rather no-nonsense personality. She's very serious and reserved, and is a member of the dignified Yayoi family. By the end of the Story Mode's True End, she is assigned by Hazama to kill Noel and Jin. She originally appeared as sub-character in the BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Story Mode. In BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Tsubaki heads to Kagutsuchi to search for Jin Kisaragi and Noel Vermillion.

She uses an "Armagus" called "Izayoi". Tsubaki's Drive is called "Install" which allows her to charge her attacks. When Tsubaki found Jin, he told her to ger rid of Izayoi because it "steals the light from the users eyes", implying it would, after a certain period of time, cause her to go blind.

In the ending of her Arcade Mode Story, it was revealed that Hazama was just using Tsubaki to kill Jin and Ragna, and also hurt Noel who became Mu-12 so Hazama could easily capture her and continue his plan.

Powers and abilities
Tsubaki's fighting style is an interesting interpretation of the standard "sword and shield" style of traditional Western swordplay, where her oddly shaped, floating book acts as a small buckler shield. Tsubaki's short sword is capable of adopting a variety of shapes, sometimes as appearing as a fencing foil, a whip sword, a floating claymore or even a staff. Her book, similarly, can change its form. Lights and angelic imagery feature prominently in Tsubaki's fighting style, such as wings and feathers appearing around her for various attacks. Because of how her drive works, her style is punctuated by moments of gathering light energy before rushing down opponents with long protracted combination attacks.
