Tokugawa Tone

"I slept too much during the day so I can't sleep now. Let's play some games."

About
Tokugawa Tone is the daughter born from the union between Demon King Rance and the former mercenary and princess of the Tokugawa House Tokugawa Sen, conceived during the Helman Revolution. She was born in the year LP7, prior to her father's transformation into the Demon King, under the care of the Oda House that had established control over JAPAN at the end of the Warring States Period of LP5.

Not long after her birth, the most powerful Dark Lord Kayblis succeeded in defeating his arch-nemesis Hornet and unified the Monster Realm. His first command as the king of monsters was to perform a large scale invasion of the Human Realm in order to conquer the entire continent and find Kurusu Miki, resulting in the conflict known as the Second Dark Lord War. Tone, while initially safe in JAPAN, travelled alongside her mother to Rance Castle shortly after the formation of the United Human Army. Her mother was responsible of taking care of Rance's Children during the war, and Tone was placed along with her other siblings on a nursery room, where she remained safely for the entirety of the war.

Following the end of the war and the transformation of her father, she and her mother returned to their home country where she would be raised for the following years along with her older brother Yamamoto Rangi, the heir to become the Sovereign of JAPAN in the future. Years later in RA07 the eldest daughter of the Demon King, Reset Kalar, designed a meeting to get all of the siblings together at a New Years Party, where Tone was able to meet some of her siblings. It would become a regular occasion for the children to socialize, and their parents could discuss state affairs at the same time. An invitation was also extended to Demon King Rance, but he never once attended. At some point, her mother, noticing her talent as a Fukuman and seeing that she might have spoiled her too much, decided to send her to the Miko Institute to undertake a strict Miko training hoping that she would grow more diligent under Natori's supervision. This decision ended up backfiring as Tone's spoiled nature worsened considerably and ultimately became a largely lazy and self-indulgent person. Despite this, however, her amazing talent in the Miko Arts allowed her to become extremely proficient in the field, allowing her to serve as a healer during a period where Divine Magic was beginning to fade in the world after the disappearance of the Gods and the collapse of the AL Church. As such, she became a trusted subordinate of her older brother Rangi, who she held a close relationship with.

She makes her first part 2 appearance during the events of Rance X: Part 2 when the El Party travels to JAPAN in order to recruit her brother Rangi for their battle against Demon King Rance, as well as finding the Metal Orb that was hidden somewhere within the external land. Sometime prior to their arrival, the nation was thrown into a state of turmoil when dozens of Hell Holes inviting countless Oni started to pop throughout the country. Coupled with the sudden disappearance of the head of the Houjou House, Houjou Souun, who is responsible for the sealing of the holes, made the situation less manageable. Tone was deployed somewhere around Owari to fight off the Oni, succeeding in defeating many of the hellish creatures. Once her job was over, exhausted from so much work she went to visit Kouhime so that she could read to her to sleep. Upon entering her room however she encountered her older brother Rangi, which made her turn away immediately before he stopped her dead in her tracks. Rangi invited her to sit down but Tone refused, thinking that he was going to sermonize her until she noticed her sister Reset was present, along with Shizuka and Nagi. Rangi introduced her to the others as the child between Sen and the Demon King, shocking Nagata-kun. She asks Reset and the others what brought them here and Kouhime explains her about their mission to gather the Demon King's children and defeat their father, requesting Tone to join the group. She refuses, arguing that she doesn't want to partake in a journey to "exterminate" the Demon King. After Rangi failed to convince her for a while, Reset tried to reason with her instead, explaining that she shouldn't see it as a journey to exterminate the Demon King but as a fun adventure with their family. Reset's exciting description of the trip managed to spark the interest of Tone, who quickly became excited over it before properly introducing herself to El. Following this, she joins the team in their expedition to Shikoku, where Rangi presumes Houjou Souun is in order to rescue him and stop the arise of Hell Holes within the country.

During their journey through JAPAN Tone was responsible for using her Miko skills to heal the injuries of the soldiers that were wounded by monsters and oni along the way, much to her dismay as she found the job way too tiring. On a day after Tone was done with her duty, Rangi thought it would be a good opportunity for her and El to socialize and get to know each other more. When asked more in-depth about her role, Tone says that she's not a regular Miko but a "comforting Miko", a class of shrine maiden with the ability to purify the soul pollution of a man by engaging in sexual intercourse with him. She also reveals her goal to sleep with her father Demon King Rance, believing it to be her duty to alleviate his corruption and cleanse his soul, making Nagata-kun shatter out of shock. Rangi describes her as a super pampered child that is very difficult to keep under control. He explains that her mother, Senhime, decided that it would be better for her to live independently of her and sent her to train under Natori in the Miko Institute, where she began her life as a Miko. However, according to Rangi, because she was placed on a more strict environment her stubborn nature only aggravated her childish disposition. After Shizuka showed up, she convinced her to let her take a nap on her tent with her, frustrating Rangi for leaving on her own accord. During the expedition towards Shikoku, Tone assisted several JAPANese soldiers in Rangi's army that were injured fighting Oni.

In the events that unfolded on Shikoku, Tone was a member of the party that entered the hellish land, assisting in the battle against several oni, the possessed Houjou Souun and the mastermind Neplacus. During the incident, she met for the first time with her eldest brother Dark Rance, who she approves of greatly as an older brother for his almost paternal disposition to his siblings. Having finished their missions in JAPAN, the El Party waves off from Dark Rance after a party at night, leaving onto their next destination at the Kingdom of Zeth. However, before the party can reach the Magic Kingdom, they're accidentally transported to the Poly Poly World after coming into contact with the great witch Miracle Tou, who appears to have business with them. After Tone is awkwardly woken up by her sister Uzume, she along with her siblings begin exploring the strange dimension until coming across Mix Tou, who had also been transported to the Poly world against her will. The young girl is none other than the daughter between Miracle and Rance, but while she refuses to join the group in their travels despite her blood relation, she agrees on collaborating to escape until they eventually get to a dimensional gate that leads them to Miracle.

They're warmly welcomed by the great witch herself Miracle Tou, but Mix immediately launches scalpels at her. After a brief hopeless encounter, Mix is easily subdued by the experienced witch with a Black Arm spell that firmly restrains her movements. Having settled the matter with her daughter for now, Miracle invites the party for a tea party. During the relaxing tea break, Miracle reveals many things to the group, about how important their success is for the future of humanity and telling them many tales of her past adventures with their father. Tone asks her about whether the Miko method of cleaning up soul pollution would be effective with her father. The witch states that she can't guarantee it, as it's never been tested, but that it's highly likely that it would work. After the tea party was over Miracle advises her visitors to get a good night's rest before requesting El to include her daughter into their party. While the witch's daughter is not exactly happy with the idea, she's eventually pushed to consent. The next day the party leaves the dimension along with Mix and the group returns to their previous goal, heading to the Kingdom of Zeth with their new ally. In the adventure in Zeth when the party wanders into a cave at the Monster Realm attempting to retrieve the Earth Orb the group requires, their quest is interfered by the Naked King Baphamoon, who has claimed the area to be the headquarters for his nudist religion. Due to the eccentric man's beliefs, the zone is covered by a barrier that makes all clothes invisible. In order to avoid an awkward situation, the party agrees that only members of one gender will proceed. If El's gender is female, Tone will be part of the group and delve into the cave to retrieve the orb. Shortly after getting in, she will toss away her clothes since she claims to be more comfortable naked and there is no point to wear them if they are invisible anyway. Once Baphamoon was defeated, Mix covered her with her robe until they found her clothes again.

During the party's adventure in the Helman Republic the group managed to gain the recognition of the legendary adventurer Arms Arc after helping her in defeating the dangerous Jhahlckas. In exchange, she decided to invite them to a tavern in the moving brothel Sea Weed in order to have a meal, where they meet the owner Café Artful, who offers the brothel's services to any of them willing to take them. Tone decides to accept the establishment's services with a female partner in order to further learn about ero-work from a professional prostitute. She's instructed by a pro named Shirase Fujino hoping that learning from her would help her fulfil her mission. If El is female she and Lelikov would accidentally get involved, before running away shortly after. Sometime after when everyone is reunited at the tavern, Lelikov asks Arms to lend her the Holy Katana Nikkou as she wanted to check it out. Aware of the Nikkou's wielding limitations, a mischievous Arms handed her over only for Lelikov to receive an electric shock when she tried to unsheathe it. Zance tries as well to no avail as Arms finds amusement in their attempts, leading her to propose that if someone manages to do it she will give gift her to them. Most of the members of the party tried as well with no success until El nonchalantly managed to draw it, much to everyone's and especially Arms' surprise. Despite the initial shock, she kept her word and agreed to give Nikkou to El. Unsatisfied with the outcome, Arms recommends the group to take part in the Toushin Tournament in order to get a chance to obtain the Corrupted Sword Chaos as well, which had been stuck in stone by Demon King Rance and was used by the tournament as an event where the participants of the tournaments would be granted a chance to take it out, getting it as a prize if they succeeded in doing so. During the tournament, most of the members of the party decided to participate (either as contendents or partners) but Tone was among the ones that did not take part in any way, simply cheering on her siblings and spending most of her time slacking off in the city.

After the party leaves Toushin City, she, along with her siblings, makes the decision to head to Rising Dragon Mountain in order to finally face Demon King Rance. Shortly after entering the party encounters the fallen Hero Geimark, who El and Nagata-kun had met the previous time they entered the mountain. The Hero, wandering with its destroyed body unable to die, barely even resembles a human being anymore but Rangi recognises him due to the fact that he carries the Sword of Heroes Escudo. He explains Geimark's story to the others; about how he attempted to take down Demon King Rance by murdering millions of people and powering up the Hero System. Zance wants to attack him and, while Rangi attempts to stop him, he charges regardless even if El also disagrees. The party reluctantly joins in and eventually, Geimark is defeated by the party. If El shows compassion for Geimark, he will be able to move on to the after-life shortly thereafter. Once getting past Geimark they begin their ascent through Rising Dragon Mountain, clashing against the Maereeta Squad and large hordes of monsters regularly. Eventually they have their first battle with a Dark Lord upon La Hawzel's arrival, whose influence manages to make the environment unnaturally hot. The party manages to defeat the angelic Dark Lord and continue their climbing, much to the Dark Lord's surprise. They also encounter Dark Lord DD, who they also managed to topple in combat after a relatively fierce battle, but the group was unable to slay him before he ran away. Their optimistic ascent was hindered upon encountering Dark Lord Satella, who along with her Golem Guardian Caesar managed to fight on equal ground with the party. Satella, seeing that the two sides were locked into a stalemate, realised that the only real threat to the Demon King was Reset's Hand of Klausen, shifting her focus towards her. The Dark Lord then jumped away, succeeding in kidnapping their trump card. The event sharply split the party as they were overwhelmed with the stress of the situation, before being appeased by Shizuka and El.

The party continued ascending as their uneasiness and fatigue grew exponentially. Upon encountering Dark Lord Lei they found themselves largely outclassed by the Dark Lord, who didn't even need to rely on his trademark thunder attacks to keep them at bay due to their tired bodies and unfocused minds. Seeing that the battle wouldn't be resolver any time soon, Arms offered to fight him off 1 on 1 while letting the others advance. The team continued climbing the mountain until dusk when they eventually encountered Dark Lord Rizna. Despite being one of the Dark Lords that is an ally of humanity, Rizna had received the command from Demon King Rance to drive them out, which she is forced to fulfil. In no time, Rizna was able to knock everyone out by making use of the extremely powerful pheromones that come out of her body, a power sealed within her eyes. She then asked a group of hannies to carry them outside of the Demon King's domains. However, because of a silly misconception on the hannies part, they took the unconscious party to Amazing Castle instead, leaving them locked in one of the rooms. Once everyone woke up and realized of their current whereabouts, Zance quickly destroyed the door and they all escaped their inept imprisonment.

They manage to find the Demon King's room where their father was. Displaying an overwhelming aura, the group was intimidated and terrified in his presence, and without Reset present at the time as she had been kidnapped by Satella, their prospects for victory were low enough to throw most of them into despair. A brief battle took place where El's party was thoroughly crushed. Tone, along with most of the party, was knocked unconscious, being El, Rangi and Zance the only ones left barely standing. Rance expressed disappointment over his children's fighting ability and was determined to finish them off, before he was stopped by Shizuka who offered herself in exchange of letting everyone go, with Nagi staying with her. Covered in wounds, the party continued descending from Rising Dragon Mountain for several hours in an attempt to run away until they encountered a tattered Arms, who had engaged in a battle against Dark Lord Lei and was resting after facing defeat. Finding a moderately safe spot, Rangi along with all his siblings gave in to her fatigue and collapsed on the spot. Immediately after, the Devil Neplacus appeared on the scene. Wishing to make an experiment after noticing in their previous encounter that El Mofus was a special existence, he summoned the Great Beast Quelplan, who absorbed the defenceless members of the group. When Tone woke up she found herself in a strange but beautiful place submerged in an unknown substance. Her dreams were interrupted by El, who had been rescued by Dark Rance and urged them to escape, helping each of them to get freed from the viscous liquid they were in. After everyone was rescued, Dark Rance managed to safely get everyone out of the beast's innards at the cost of leaving his treasured sword Gram behind.

Following their successful escape, the party was found by their mothers, who were desperately looking for them after they heard that they disappeared during their battle, and they were all taken to Rance Castle. After regaining consciousness, they all noticed that they had lost a chunk of their strength during the period they spent on Quelplan's body, which possesses the unique property of absorbing the power of those it swallows. This coupled with the overwhelming defeat they suffered at the hand of Demon King Rance left them all severely depressed and buried under feelings of hopelessness. Seeing no chance of victory, they plan to give up and hide in JAPAN while bolstering their defences to prepare for the unavoidable invasion that will eventually come. However, at that moment, Reset, Shizuka and Nagi show up, much to their siblings joy, revealing that they were rescued by Tiger. Reset claims that no one but El has the right to decide when their adventure ends, as they were the one that started it. Reset then asks what El wants to do, who responds by wanting to continue as all their siblings asks for assurance over their decision. However despite their re-established confidence, in order to challenge the Demon King again, they all need to get stronger than before.

In order to do so, many of the world's most talented veterans like Miracle Tou, Alexander, Uesugi Kenshin, Rick Addison, Tillday Sharp, British, Patton Misnarge, among others travel to Rance Castle in order to train them. Using Miracle's dimension travelling ability they move to Poly Poly One, a world where time flows differently from the continent. After an undetermined amount of time in the alternate dimension, the group returned having finished their training considerably improving their abilities and raising their levels tremendously. Once they have all returned, Arms Arc reveals that she's going to retire from adventuring following Mix's advice after she determined that she suffers from a grave illness. As a final send-off, she organised a treasure hunting event where she distributes some of the rare items and legendary weapons she's collected over the years to the party, though they would have to get them themselves by finding them on the places Arms hid them based on some clues she would give. She pairs up the members of the El Party on small groups of two or three by using a special item that matches up people that are most fond of each other.

If Tone is El's "Best Friend" during this event, she will accompany El on the quest given to them by Arms, where they will travel to Hanny in the Sky, a strange hanny settlement made to be a paradise for hannies. There, they will meet the Hanny King, fight either Dark Lord Masuzoe or Kawazoe, and find the rare items that were hidden by Arms. Once the treasure hunting is over everyone is determined to go to Rising Dragon Mountain once more, but their enthusiasm is halted by Reset who, at the last minute, proposed everyone to go on a relaxing trip to hot springs before the final battle. In her final event at the hot springs, she shows that the motivation behind her goal turns out to be more selfless than it would originally seem. She reveals to El that when Fukuman cleanse the Souls of others they drain that negative pollution onto themselves. However, because the Demon King harbours the utmost source of negative energy, a Fukuman would have all their lifeforce drained away in the process. Thanks to the powerful body she was blessed with it is likely that Tone would succeed in restoring the sanity of her father but she would be guaranteed to perish as a result. It is for this reason that her siblings attempted to convince her against it. Tone has been made aware of this fate years ago, but she also hoped that this method could potentially cure her father. Throughout her adventure, this desire progressively weakened as the sense of wonder and joy through the adventures she experienced with the El Party were strong enough to ignite a desire to continue living, abandoning her suicidal mission to restore her father's sanity and instead opting to trust that they would be able to succeed without her Fukuman powers. Following her decision to live on, she acknowledges that she can't be the spoiled child anymore so she will take on her role as an older sister to El from then on, and the two promise to go on another adventure after the final battle is over.

The party would leave the following morning and head towards Rising Dragon Mountain in order to challenge Demon King Rance once more. During their second ascent, the group found themselves in a continuous series of battles against each individual Dark Lord that was part of Rance's inner circle, and they successfully managed to defeat Dark Lords La Saizel & La Hawzel, DD(killed), Lei, Rizna, Silky, Hornet and finally Satella upon making it to Amazing Castle. Once again they entered the Demon King's room and encountered their father. Tone and her siblings engaged in a climactic battle against Demon King Rance but, while their fighting ability allowed them to fare against the Demon King much better than the last time, they were still largely incapable of matching him until his concentration was momentarily shaken when he caught sight of the Frozen Sill Plain during the battle, giving the party a window of opportunity for Reset to slap him and restore his sanity.

Shortly after their father's true personality resurfaced and he decided to meet up with each of his children, Tone managed for the first time to become acquainted with her real father. Having concluded that her abilities won't be needed anymore, she will instead go to sleep shortly after instead, baffling the Demon King with her brazenness.

Tone would later take part in the final battle against the corrupted entity known as Blood Memories, which manifested after the unexpected appearance of the Great Beast Quelplan in the Demon King's domains and its even more unexpected absorption of the Demon King's blood after it consumed Demon King Rance. During the battle, Blood Memories took the form of every Demon King in history, imitating the fighting style and forcing the party to defeat a powerful image of each Demon King. After a long and titanic battle, the group managed to come out victorious, destroying the sinful existence and erasing the Demon King System for good.

Having succeeded in their mission, the El Party disbanded sometime after as each of their siblings returned to their respective countries. If Tone was El's Best Friend during the ending, she will fulfil her promise with El and the two will go on another adventure together.

Personality and Appearance
Tone is a beautiful young girl with long dark pink hair and amethyst-colored eyes. Her hair extends down to her waist and is tied loosely into two side ponytails, along with an elegant hairband adorned with white flowers. She wears a traditional Miko uniform of a pair of red trousers and a white robe, also decorate with some flowers and an elegant mantle. She's often seen carrying a grey bow as well. She's fairly short at 155cm but she has a very developed figure, with a large chest and a curvy frame. She gives out a princess-like air of grace and allure; unexcitable and with a very casual demeanour.

One of the Demon King's more unassuming children, Tone doesn't stand out as much as some of her siblings that are closely related to royal families but her personality is no less eccentric. She's described by Nagi as "the most spoiled child of the Demon King", and for a good reason. Tone is lazy, self-indulgent, generally lethargic and quite selfish in the way she behaves. She actively seeks attention from people around her and is quick to become very clingy to the people she likes, especially if they're more likely to pamper her. In general, she loves to be treated as the younger sister and will encourage others to treat her as such, regardless of whether she's younger than them or not. She has what Rangi calls an extreme "little girl complex". Even if she's the older one she will recognize those that pamper her as their "older sister or brother", such as with El. Similarly, she tends to become jealous of those that she feels could potentially threaten her "little sister seat", causing her to become more competitive for attention and, in turn, getting even more clingy. In particular, she sees Lelikov as a rival due to her childish yet lovable personality. She's selfish but not mean-spirited and is more likely to respond with kindness if she's content with you. Rangi constantly tries to keep Tone in check due to her selfish and spoiled nature, constantly preaching to her to behave properly and to take her responsibilities seriously. Because of her tendency to seek those that pamper her, she tries to avoid him due to his strict nature but she also has a strong dependence on him, becoming something closer to a father figure than a brother. She often tries to make him spoil her but he rarely complies due to his strict nature. She tends to cling onto those that pamper her the most. Most notably Shizuka is someone that has a soft spot for her and admits that she doesn't handle her as well as she should, as Tone is naturally drawn towards her while Shizuka finds herself unable to decline her pleads.

She's a very lazy person that is naturally inclined to do as little work as possible, quick to complain over being tired or slacking off on her responsibilities unless it's of utmost necessity. As a healing Miko, her job is to use the Miko arts to heal the wounds of others. She's also a Fukuman-in-training, meaning that she would eventually be expected to copulate with males in order to quell the negative emotions inside them. Despite never having performed the act, she was well educated about it and she does not hesitate to invite her brothers to do so as a prank, showing that her generally laid-back personality also carries a more sarcastic and jokey side. She spends a lot of her time sleeping, something that she loves doing immensely. She's not particularly proud of her incredible talents in spite of the praises of others, stating that it would have been easier for her to just be incompetent. When asked about her special skills, she omits her rare talents in the Miko Arts and instead claims to be really good at eating and sleeping. It's not wrong, Tone is capable of falling asleep quickly and easily just about anywhere, and will gladly do so at any time of the day. However, even she has some limits and sometimes she sleeps so much during the day that she has a little trouble sleeping at night. When that happens she will shamelessly ask those that she feels most comfortable with to play around with her until she falls asleep again. Unlike someone like Cessna Benville, who was inflicted with a magical Curse that afflicted her extreme narcolepsy, Tone is perfectly healthy and can stay awake and focused when she really wants to, but her general sloth leads her to prefer a lifestyle as free from physical labour as possible. Similar to her father, if she's motivated she is capable of putting the effort, such as for healing the wounds of soldiers that were injured in battle since she recognises it as important. Most notably, she's shown to be surprisingly proactive in her studies over sexual work, as she believes that it would help her improve her performance as a Fukuman to cure her father's condition. Tone is very determined to use this method to alleviate Rance's corrupted soul and potentially free him from the influence of Blood Memories. She's a stubborn person in general but she gets especially stubborn with this goal, as some of her siblings have attempted to convince her against it multiple times due to the fact that doing so would cost her her life. Behind the mask of a pampered child hides a surprisingly altruistic desire to keep her siblings safe, as she has already long accepted her role as a sacrifice for that goal, showing that she cares deeply for her family. After Tone came to terms with her ultimate fate, she decided that she would indulge herself as much as she desired until the time comes, which is how she came to be as shamelessly spoiled as she is. In spite of her lazy and generally unmotivated nature born from her perception of seeing herself as the "Miko of sacrifice", Tone has a genuinely great amount of enjoyment for adventuring; visiting places she's never imagined or meeting all kinds of people. It was thanks to this love for adventuring that she was able to gain a desire to keep living rather than sacrificing herself for the sake of her family.

Abilities
As one of the Demon King's children, Tone is among the strongest human beings in the continent. Like all her siblings, she inherited her father's undefined Level Cap, allowing her to potentially grow infinitely stronger, and she was at a staggering Level 89 at the time she joined the El Party. Tone is an exceptionally talented Fukuman, boasting a Level 2 skill that is said to appear only once every century. Like all Fukuman, Tone has a blessed body that is capable of soothing the hearts of those she sleeps with, purifying their Souls from corruption and negative feelings. Her body, in particular, is noted for having an especially powerful effect, possibly thanks to her father's influence. In battle, she wields a bow and arrow like most other shrine maidens but not much is known about her proficiency as an archer. As she was personally trained by Natori, a legendary Fukuman herself, she's been able to learn extensively about her abilities. The Miko arts that she employs are a powerful healing power that allows her allies to recover even from grievous wounds. Because these rare abilities are not quite the same as Divine Magic, her talents are of immense value in a world where healing magic is dying following the God Anomaly in the year RA4 that threatened the use of divine magic allover the world. She's also capable of using some offensive powers of the Miko Arts which while decently formidable, are not quite as impressive or valuable as her healing abilities.

She's also capable of performing a sacred ritual ceremonial dance of the Miko named Kagura(神楽) with great elegance and beauty. Furthermore, the dancing is not purely for the enjoyment of an audience, as it is capable of revitalizing and empowering her allies to a great degree and provides a tremendous amount of utility in combat.
