Aya Tokoyogi is a major antagonist in the anime and light novel series Strike the Blood, serving as the main antagonist in Fiesta For the Observers Arc. She is the "mother" of Yuuma Tokoyogi and the arch-nemesis of Natsuki Minamiya.

She was voiced by Mikako Takahashi.

Official Overview[]

She is the mother of Yuuma Tokoyogi who was imprisoned in the demon district prison barrier. Yuuma borrowed Kojou Akatsuki's body in order to free her. However, she was stopped, and then she failed by betraying her. However, the Library was prepared for this and was still freed in the process, freeing six others with her.

Biography[]

There's every little about Aya's past, however, she once had a fallout with Natsuki Minamiya in an attempt to retrieve the Dark Oath Grimoire away from her, which said Grimoire is one of the most dangerous spell books to be left handed to, in the former's attempt to rewrite reality. She tried to convince Natsuki that everyone will forget about her and that she was nothing but a tool, however, the latter scoffed at the thought and suited herself being a teacher in the future, much to Aya rebuking her conclusion. As they fought, Natsuki successfully defeated her and would soon have her imprisoned for her crimes within the Demon District Prison Barrier in Itogami Island. It remains unknown what she actually committed to earn the penalty in the first place though it is assumed it had something to do with herself attempting to rewrite reality with her Grimoire under an obvious perspective.

Planning ahead for her escape in the next couple of years, Aya cloned herself that birthed Yumma, her biological "daughter", via parthenogenesis and have her maids raise her to practice her abilities and one day manage to find the Fourth Progenitor, swap bodies, and use the latter's in order to retrieve her Grimoire and break the prison barrier that kept her long than enough, deeming her daughter as her "trump card" to freedom. Prior to the events, the Library planned to sacrifice 100,000 innocent lives in Itogami Island under Aya's past instructions for her freedom until it was decided for Yuuma to possess the fourth progenitor. Years later, Yuuma would eventually meet up with Kojou Akatsuki, the fourth Progenitor, and behind his back swapped bodies and tracked down the Grimoire within the tower, which after having confront Dimitrie Vatler and later Kojou himself, fighting them till she made her way into the Prison Barrier. However, upon being defeated and talked out of her purpose to live her life by Kojou, an unexpected attack from behind pierced through both Yuuma and Natsuki, revealing to be her own familiar, as the barrier collapses.

Strike the Blood - The unexpected double kill

As they were warped outside the prison, the true barrier activated when Natsuki's clone perished and awaken her real self while Aya continued to painfully extract back the very familiar she gave to Aya and thus transforming said familiar into her personal one, Le Ombre, nearly leaving her daughter in a state of near death. Angered, Kojou attempts to attack her but Aya states that doing so will lead to repercussions to not just himself but cause damage to the barrier. She then reveals she used her Grimoire to steal the timeline of Natsuki's experience and her memories, as a result, absorbed her magic as well and sealed her capabilities, which she receives unexpected assistance from six remaining prisoners to target the younger Natsuki Minayama, who suffers from amnesia, in the long run. As Kojou and Yukina escaped with the injured Yuuma, Aya endorses the prisoners to go on a manhunt for Natsuki, which every single one of them is later defeated and sent back into prison via teleportation.

Looming over the city view, Aya plots to head to Saikai Academy to begin her plans before she is confronted by two members of the Library regarding the situation, stating they are ordered to annihilate her and take back the Dark Oath Grimoire. To her response, Aya secretly implanted a curse in the Grimoire and kills the two librarians. Aya begins casting spells amongst the academy's hallways and classrooms to initiate her plans before she encountered one of the prisoners, Itogami Meiga, who tells her off under suspicion that if she did steal Natsuki's memories, which could've had the key and decode program with her without even telling the rest of the prisoners such things which led to their defeats. Summoning Le Ombre to threaten him, Meiga offered that her experiments are useful to her, which she then reveals the real Dark Oath Grimoire was lost and tries to recreate it, using the entire academy to become her personal Grimoire in its stead.

She then appears in front of Kojou and company by the docks, claiming killing Natsuki is no longer a priority and thanks them for defeating the prisoners, using her presence to seize their capabilities and magic, then unleashes Le Ombre to attack and deliver a striking blow on Kojou with his guard down, claiming Itogami Island is hers to control and have its magic, besides hers, drained. Eventually, she swiftly captures Natsuki and Yukina to become her test subjects of using the Grimoire's power, using it on the latter to have her experience a "dream" based on her desires, a reality interpreting one where Yukina lived a normal life where Kojou played basketball again and Sakaya was with them. Realizing it was all fake, she wakes up to see herself and the unconscious Natsuki caged by Aya, who says that she could've made her reality come true. Knowing the Grimoire's real potential has the capacity of rewriting reality to one's desires, such as Aya's, the latter explains her ideals are that of seeing the world as "cursed" due to their supernatural abilities and that witches like her were ostracized. Aya then emphasizes the abilities of Yukina's weapon, Schneewalzer, having the potential of negating even reality-warping magic to revise the world back to what it is, and states that magic and demons, by her belief, don't exist and believes creating a world without one is what it should've been.

Going on to monologue how hypothesis of the human memory and history is created by an unknown entity under five minutes and Yukina refutes it as just it, a "hypothesis", Aya enacts her desire to rewrite the whole world to how she sees fit to prove the possibility is more than just a "hypothesis", being called out by Yukina it would risk the 560,000 civilians in Itogami Island. Aya rants on how humanity painted witches as loathsome and used them for their priorities until Kojou arrives, breaking the barrier and freeing Yukina and the unconscious Natsuki. Before they fight, Yukina calls out that despite what she claimed what humanity did to witches, she points out the fact on how questionably immoral of what she did to Yuuma. Aya rebukes on how children think they know everything as she summons variants of the same prisoners from before to attack them, though they've proven to be outmatched easily. Frustrated, she summons tentacles to restrain Yukina and attempts to steal her memories, summoning Le Ombre in the process. Unfortunately for her, Natsuk awoken and summons her familiar, Rain Gold, to stop her attacks and retrieve back the Dark Oath Grimoire.

Fed up with witnessing Le Ombre restrained, restoring it to become Yuuma's familiar again and rip it off Aya, she refuses to admit defeat and in the attempt to kill them off, she activates her final form, Lost, having her soul consumed by a demon and turn into one herself. Before she could even attack, Yukina uses Schneewalzer to negate her demon form and reduce her back into her normal state, even negate her spell holding over Saikai Academy. Afterwards, Aya is ultimately sealed away and imprisoned within the Demon District Prison Barrier once more.

Personality[]

Aya is a boundlessly cruel woman with a smug exterior. She is capable of manipulating and using others for her own end to obtain the Grimoire, especially her own daughter/clone. She is formidably tactical in planning ahead and skilled in the arts of using her Grimoire, however, her arrogance gets in the way that it leads her showing off her "superiority" in terms of intellect rather than finish off Yukina Himeragi when she has proven to be a threat due to her Schneewalzer's effects. To her, she has little to no affection for children, highly thinking little of them that they know everything and sees her daughter as nothing more than a doll, painfully removing her familiar from her as if it was nothing. She also bares a grudge against Natsuki Minamiya for imprisoning her.

She is also misanthropic, claiming that her hatred stemmed from humanity using witches to their liking and ostracized them as loathsome beings, believing it is her right to rewrite reality where "curses" like magic and demons never existed. For all she stood for, it is considered hypocritical since she used Yuuma, who technically counts as a witch, for her own benefit and is fine with working with other fellow prisoners who weren't witches.
