BIO:

Izayoi is the true form of the Sealed Weapon Izayoi that Tsubaki undertakes to don the power of Immortal Breaker. This form was awakened twice, once during the battle with Jin Kisaragi before Amaterasu's phenomena intervention, and once after, when Noel materialized it with her power of the Eye. She is still under the influence of Imperator's Mind Eater in both occasions, but manages to break free the second time thanks to her friends. Tsubaki regains herself once more, but feels lost as she knows the Imperator's justice is a lie. However, with the support of Hakumen and Noel in her true form, she decided to fight for the justice she believes in and for the friends she cherishes. Turning away from the darkness of the past, she takes up her sword to punish all crimes and seek out the true light.

In the finale of Chronophantasma, Tsubaki joins Makoto Nanaya and Bang Shishigami in the fight against Relius Clover, Carl Clover, and Litchi Faye-Ling inside Asphyxia, a hidden dungeon below 8th Hierarchical City of Wadatsumi. They try to give Bang an opening, so he can activate the device on the Kushinada's Lynchpin, but the tag-team of Nirvana and Ignis proves to be a formidable force to reckon with. They succeed, however, as Valkenhayn R. Hellsing appears and break the stalemate state.

Wait... why do I feel like I've seen this character before in some girly robot anime that I don't watch. W-w-wait... actually... I feel like I've seen this character before in an anime fighting game.... BlazBlue was it? ^__^ Long walk for a short drink of water, but I tried. What I'm saying is, I feel like I've seen a design like her's before. Instead of being a uniquely interesting-looking character (like Taokaka, Arakuna, or Iron Tager for example), Izayoi just looks like another Tsubaki, Noel, or v-13. Pretty meh... but  I like her plasma blade weapon. Speaking of plasma swords, she'd be an interesting guest character in Star Gladiator 3... or would it be Plasma Sword 2? It always comes back to Capcom, doesn't it? 

Either way, Izayoi's default color scheme is a bit loud and clashy... and mostly burns my eyes. She needs more "cool" colors in her default (but she does have cool alt. colors). Like many others from the most recent BlazBlue games, Izayoi's default color looks like "Color #15" to me. On the bright side, Izayoi's moveset is "pretty" and her animations are cool... so I can somewhat forgive her visual design for making me yawn.
