User:Futaomote Masashige

Futaomote Masashige (双面 正成 : Masashige Futaomote) is the main antagonist of The Witch Trials and a major character in Book 1 of The Mimic. She is the mother of Hiachi Masashige, a descendant of Kusunoki Masashige, and an ancestor of Yasu, Juno, Keiko, and Daku.

Appearances
Futao and Mote are the final monsters seen in The Witch Trials. They can be seen in Kyoto Town. Futao also is seen in Chapter IV, embracing her scared daughter in the web.

Alive
Before she was enslaved by Kintoru, Futaomote Masashige was an average-height woman who wore a long-sleeved greyish-white floral dress and had very long dark hair. Her face, like her daughter's, is shadowed. When she was enslaved by Sama, her soul was split into two versions, Futao and Mote.

Alive (Impulsive)
Her impulsive version of her is similar to the alive version, but instead she has a 'mask' similar to Mote's.

Futao
Futao appears to be an extremely tall woman with a beautiful porcelain face. She wears the very same greyish-white long-sleeved floral dress she used to wear but, it reveals her ribcage and a matching orient hat. She also has extremely long dark hair and wields a white heavy katana. She is supposedly representing the loving and calm side of Hiachi's mother and is the bearer of the Pure Butterfly Spirit.

Mote
Mote, on the other hand, looks very similar to Futao with a very small yet significant difference. She 'wears' a mask that has exaggerated features such as, larger eye sockets, a wide grin, and a bigger nose. She wears the same dress and hat as Futao, but instead of a katana, she wields dual white scythes in both of her hands, similar to Shinigami. Mote is the representation of the abusive side of Futao and is the bearer of the Corrupted Butterfly Spirit.

    

Temperance
Futao is very fast when she sees you. If you are far away from her, you can outrun her for some time. Futao's speed is 36, and she damages 90 of your HP in one hit.

Mote is the same as Futao, but Mote is slightly faster than her. Mote's speed is 41, and she can damage 10 of your HP in one hit.

In order to escape Futao and Mote, you must head to the safe houses scattered throughout the town. Futao and Mote are far too tall to enter the houses, so they should keep you safe and aid you while you are trying to steal their butterfly spirits from them. Since they immediately chase you upon notice, you should camp by the nearest safe house you see and make them pass by to steal the spirits.

Futaomote's Life
Futaomote Masashige was a young woman who was born with a terrible impulse disorder, so even though she was sweet and caring, she would sometimes have a meltdown. At some point, she married a man and lived with him in Kyoto Town. Her husband left her for unknown reasons, leaving her to raise their daughter on her own. Because of her impulsive disorder, her neighbors made fun of her and called her cruel and twisted, when she was really a kind and loving mother who wanted her daughter to have the best life possible.

Rumor after rumor was spread. Soon enough the village had good enough reasons to shun Futaomote from them. They considered her a threat, a danger to everyone. Although, the one thing they didn't know... was that she had a daughter she hid from the dangers. Her beautiful, beloved and precious daughter, Hiachi.

Hiachi was the only person left in Futaomote's life, and Futaomote loved her daughter so much that nothing else mattered to her but Hiachi.

Getting Shaku for Hiachi
One day, Futaomote went to the Sakura forest to collect berries so she could feed both herself and Hiachi. While on her trip to the forest, she found a doll in an abandoned cabin underneath beautiful Sakura trees. They were painted pink and red. Futaomote smiled and took the doll back home with her to give to her daughter as a gift. She went deeper into the forest to grab some berries. Satisfied, she took her full basket of berries back home with her.

When Futaomote opened the door, her little daughter Hiachi greeted her with a warm smile. "Mama is back! Mama is back!" exclaimed Hiachi in excitement. Futaomote picked Hiachi up and said, "Yes sweetie, Mama is back from getting berries for you. I also got a little gift for you, too!" Hiachi giggled as Futaomote set her down.

Futaomote reached into her basket and pulled out a beautiful, porcelain doll. Her skin was fairly pale, her hair was black as a gem. Hiachi danced around with her new doll. Futaomote slightly grinned while asking, "What are you going to name her?" Hiachi looked around her house while thinking to herself. She picked her nails nervously while thinking of a name for her new doll. Futaomote frowned while thinking as well. She gazed at Hiachi as she watched her thinking. Hiachi mumbled too low for Futaomote to hear. "What was that, dear?" Futaomote asked while she set the basket of berries on the table. Hiachi repeated herself, "Can her name be Shaku?"

Futaomote froze, She stared into the mirror at herself, seeing the opposite side of herself. A side that only her daughter knew, yet never understood. While Futaomote angrily smashed the mirror, Hiachi cowered while hugging her doll for comfort. Futaomote kept hitting the mirror over and over again while yelling "I hate you! I hate you!" at herself. After a while, the mirror was completely broken, piece by piece. Futaomote turned around to her precious daughter, whom she loved so much she would sacrifice herself for, crying. Realizing what a show she put on in front of her little girl, Futaomote ran to her daughter and started crying, too.

Futaomote's Curse
A week after these dramatic events, Futaomote needed berries so she and her daughter wouldn't go hungry. She made sure her precious little girl was safe at home before she went to the forest to gather some berries. She was almost at the berry trees when suddenly, she saw a tall, mysterious woman. Futaomote looked up at the woman and asked her, "How can I help you, ma'am?" The black figure stared down at the young woman. Futaomote felt unsafe around this figure, but she saw nothing wrong in talking to her. "Well, if you aren't going to answer, I'll just be on my way."

Suddenly, the figure stopped Futaomote before she could continue finding some more berries. The figure asked Futaomote, "What's something you wish for? You are very beautiful, and yet you seem so sad." Futaomote started shaking angrily. She started punching the grass and ripping it out violently. After her impulse disorder got the best of her, the woman in black told her, "My my, what an episode that was. Now, please answer this question. What is something that you wish for?"

"I wish to be normal", Futaomote said, crying her eyes out. "I want my daughter to live a normal life... she constantly gets bullied by the village children because of me... I'm just tired of me and her being shunned. I wish to be normal, but no one will help me..." After explaining her problems, the woman in black told her that if she ate a spirit, then she would be normal. Instead, the spirit cursed Futaomote to become one of Sama's puppets.

Years of Being Cursed
Futaomote hated to see her daughter cry all the time due to the feeling of betrayal she experienced. Futaomote comforted her daughter and made her feel better when she was sad. Futaomote was assigned to inhabit her old hometown.

Meeting Juno
Centuries had passed after these events, Futaomote now chases her descendant, Juno, throughout her village in an attempt to eliminate them. In the ending of The Witch Trials, she told Juno that she wasn't a bad mother at all, and Sama was the reason why she was the way she is and now became one of her puppets.

Trapped In the Witch's Web
Futaomote as well as her child, Shaku, Biwaki, Mariachi, and Mihari are all trapped in a spider web. Seeing that her daughter is scared, Futaomote embraces Hiachi protectively as with high hopes, they watch Yasu defeat Sama.

Afterlife
After Yasu kills Sama, Futaomote, her daughter, and the other puppets are finally free from the demon and can live happily together in the afterlife.

Personality
Futaomote was a single mother who loved and cared for her little daughter, Hiachi. With her impulsive disorder, Futaomote was very hard on herself, and thought she was a bad mother, but she really wasn't. Sometimes she would destroy furniture in her home or even abuse Hiachi, but she still loved her daughter and felt sorry when she would snap.

She continues to protect her daughter even as a puppet, as shown in Chapter 4 where she is comforting a scared Hiachi.

Quotes
"Four beasts rampaged across the Earth, Control, Jealousy, Rage, and Rebirth. For 10 days they raged against their gilded cage, and for 10 nights he fought against our people's plight. The Earth shook and the oceans burned, as he fought for hours, his back unturned. He overcame these creatures, and escaped unhurt, and sealed these monsters all around our Earth. And so you, who comes from him, our people's future, decided by your whims.." - The Witch Trials, Part I, the World Eaters cutscene.

"I, most certainly, was not a good mother.. Everyday I would let my impulsive feelings get the best of me. Our neighbors looked down upon us. I just wanted to be normal.. One day, I made a deal with a demon. The demon told be that if I consumed a spirit then I would become normal. But I became something far worse.." - The Witch Trials, Futaomote's backstory cutscene.

Rage was trapped in his strongest cage, seething with wrath and counting her days, and Rebirth was forced deep into the Earth, endlessly watching our world in reverse. 4 shall stand. All shall fall.." - The Witch Trials Nightmare ending cutscene.
