Profile
There've been whispers about Seishi since she entered Verone Academy on scholarship for her first year of high school, after attending middle school at Seiyou. Much of the gossip centers around the disappearance of her mother several years ago, stories ranging from rumors that she was murdered to speculation that she simply abandoned her family for some reason. As for Seishi herself, those acquainted with her tend to agree that it often seems like there's something driving her.
What they don't realize is that Seishi is the reincarnation of a Sengoku-Era samurai, and leads a double life as the magical warrior Akashimaru, hunting the malevolent Eater of Dreams.

---|---|---|
Past Problems Of All Types | October 6th, 2019 | Lacrima asks Seishi about the Eater of Dreams and about what was going on with her and the Eater when they we're fighting it in 'The Last Nightmare'. Riley tags along because Lacrima knew Riley also had questions about magical things! |
The First Nightmare | September 28th, 2019 | Our intrepid heroes return to the dark and dreamless place of the Eater of Dreams to rescue Ariel and Takara and encounter a new foe just as old and terrible in the dark. The seal is restored now, but for how long will our heroes be able to bask in their victory? |
The Last Nightmare | September 21st, 2019 | The Nightmare Prince destroys the seal holding back the age old Eater of Dreams, forcing our heroes to enter the abyss in desperation. What they find there is not pleasant as the Eater of Dreams stirs in the darkness, wakened from hundreds of years of slumber, and the only thing that can hold it back, for now, is a sacrifice that costs just too much. |
Payday: The Dream Heist | August 17th, 2019 | Wolf, Chains, Hoxton, and Dallas get shown up by a cat. |
Well Meaning Gargoyle or Salaryman | April 20th, 2019 | Lacrima visits where Ariel lives in the real world! And meets Seishi Tamashige's Father. And basically tries to choke herself with donuts and start a new identity over second hand super embarrassment. |
The Hopeless Nightmare | February 3rd, 2019 | Lacrima, Ariel, and Seishi find themselves in a dream where a Nightmare named Yasumi Yumeji in possession of one of the shards is, in her own words, causing trouble for an unconscious Kotomi. Fortunately, the shard is taken from her, and things seem to be resolved ... for now. But Yasumi seemed so sad ... |
The State of Things | January 26th, 2019 | Ariel and several mahous meet to discuss the state of dreams and the book. |
A Beautiful Song | January 5th, 2019 | Another dream... Another mysterious shard. What could it mean? |
A Special Gift | December 22nd, 2018 | In an attempt to steal christmas, the Grinches and Krampuses of the dream realm swipe something more deeply important. The mahous give chase and find more than they bargained for as a result. |
I Wish You A Good Evening! | August 24th, 2018 | Maboroshi no Manako attacks the filing room at Mitakihara General Hospital where birth certificates are kept, supposedly for the purpose of granting a "wish" ... but she does it in the flashiest manner imaginable, as if she wanted to be caught. What is Manako's true goal? |

The Last Dream Defender | June 4th, 2017 | The only rope that could hold her, would be the cord with which the old gods bound the Fenris-wolf. That one was made of fish's breath, bird spittle, a woman's beard, the miaowing of a cat, the sinews of a bear, and one thing more. I remember - mountain roots. Having none of these elements, nor the dwarfs to weave them, the new generation of dream saviors will have to make do with what they have... To save a unicorn. |
Shade of the Titan | May 30th, 2017 | An utterly massive Nightmare threatens to break through to the waking world. It must be stopped at all costs. |
Prince of Bad Ideas | May 29th, 2017 | Prince Endymion has a great idea: let's go talk to the Prince of Nightmares and get his side of the story! Good idea: Talking things out. Bad idea: Talking things out the window of a hundred-floor building overlooking a sea of lava... |

Rumors
In the absence of confirmed facts, it's only natural for people to speculate, and Seishi's been a subject of such speculation since her first year of middle school when her mother's disappearance caused her to miss quite a few days of school and come back with a noticeable change in her demeanor. Most of her former classmates from Seiyou middle school at least know of her and that she had some kind of family drama during that first year. Though a lot of the gossip has died down over time, there are still several stories circulating, depending on who you ask:
- Her mother abandoned her family and ran off somewhere, probably to go live with another man. This one is the story classmates were most likely to overhear their own parents discussing as the likeliest explanation for what really happened. Repeating it in Seishi's hearing resulted in at least one schoolyard fistfight during middle school. Bring it up at your own peril.
- Her mother was murdered, possibly for knowing too much about something illegal. Less plausible than the former story, but more exciting for middle school students to contemplate. Mrs. Tamashige did work as a reporter for a local newspaper.
- Her father is yakuza. This one's especially popular with Seishi's current classmates at Verone, owing to Mr. Tamashige's perpetually dour expression and presented as an explanation of what an apparently middle-class girl is doing attending a private school for the rich elite. It's not as prevalent a rumor among her old Seiyou classmates (some of whom can even remember that Mr. Tamashige wasn't always as grim and intimidating as he is now), and the more reasonable of Seishi's Verone classmates will note that it's public knowledge she's there on scholarship - but speculation persists all the same, extending to the possibility that Mr. Tamashige's purported yakuza involvement is related to Mrs. Tamashige's disappearance in some way.
