Tsumugi

Overview

Shiina Tsumugi is a character from the mobile game Blue Archive, developed by NEXON Games. A second-year student at Wild Hunt Art Academy, she serves as the Vice President of the Occult Studies Club while majoring in practical music. Although she presents herself as a gentle and refined girl, she also actively participates in a death metal band outside of school, surprising those around her with the intense contrast between her everyday personality and her stage persona.

Appearance

She features messy long green hair styled in a low ponytail with visible sidelocks and a prominent forehead, paired with blue eyes. Her golden halo is shaped like a central flower surrounded by curling vines or spirals. Her outfit consists of a white collared shirt beneath a grey knit cardigan, decorated with a diagonal-striped green bowtie. She wears a green plaid pleated miniskirt, short white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. She also wears a hairband and frequently carries a brown shoulder bag.

Personality

Tsumugi is inherently kind, polite, and helpful, often extending a helping hand even to those she has barely met. At the same time, she possesses a dreamy and highly eccentric side. She tends to speak in a dramatic, theatrical fashion reminiscent of stage actors, frequently employing romanticized or fairy-tale terms—such as referring to herself as a sleeping princess. She also has a unique habit of emphasizing specific words mid-conversation and framing her statements with a distinct structured summary.

Abilities

Majoring in practical music, Tsumugi possesses talented songwriting skills, being able to compose original songs as well as play the guitar. During her musical performances, she transforms her stage presence with white face paint and punk attire, unleashing powerful death metal vocals. Her intense screams are said to carry enough force to shift heavy stone statues.

Background

Residing in room 404 of Wild Hunt Art Academy's fourth dormitory, Tsumugi joined the Occult Studies Club under the belief that performing death metal might allow her to summon demons. Having officially obtained permission for off-campus activities, she regularly performs street lives. Through her music, she formed connections with students from Trinity Integrated Academy, and she actively participates in her club's eccentric investigations and rituals within her academy.

Relationships

Within the Occult Studies Club, she serves alongside Shirao Eri, Itagaki Kanoe, and Kinue Rena. Through her street performances, she met Kurimura Airi, providing her with musical advice and a custom-written song. She quickly grew comfortable with Sensei, exchanging contact information on MomoTalk early on and inviting them to explore her academy.

Trivia

Her major, practical music, reflects a real-world academic field common in South Korean institutions that focuses on popular music creation and training professional musicians. Her dramatic shift from a soft-spoken, elegant student to a screaming death metal vocalist on stage frequently draws comparison among fans to the protagonist of the manga Detroit Metal City.
