Kannagi, Towa

神無木登和

As a young girl, she suffered from a fatal illness. Her twin sister, Sawa, fed Towa the blood of a mermaid. The blood improved her condition, but unfortunately, she developed a deformed arm, similar to that of a Lost Soul, and her hair turned pure white. While she did not age externally, her internal organs remained unchanged. When Towa's father discovered what Sawa had done, Towa was locked in a cell beneath the house and forbidden from leaving. Sawa lived her own life, marrying and having a child, while Towa remained isolated, save for her fiancé, Dr. Shiina. Her deformed arm caused her excruciating pain. She asked Dr. Shiina to dissect the arms of deceased girls and reattach them to her body. However, every arm became deformed, and the pain intensified. She was on the verge of losing hope until Mana died in a car accident. Dr. Shiina was about to amputate Mana's arm, but when Mana returned to life, Towa devised a plan. She would transfer her consciousness into Mana's body unless Sawa revealed the location of the mermaid mound. Towa had harbored a slight affection for Mana, though it remains unknown whether she loved her for her immortal body or for other reasons. Towa found the mermaid and intended to give the flesh to Sawa to exact her revenge, but Sawa died of cardiac arrest, leaving Towa with nothing to show for her life. In the end, Towa joined her sister in death.
