Biography

Early life

It is unknown how Futaba as cursed as her new lore hasn't been revealed yet. However, it is known that she was married into the Masashige family and had her first and only child - Hiachi, in 1632 when she was 22 years old. In 1640 (when she was 30) her and Hiachi were cursed by Kintoru, it's unknown what happened to her husband.

The Witch Trials

Centuries after being cursed, during the events of the Witch Trials, Futaba's Calm and Impulsive sides (Futao being her calm side and Mote being her impulsive side) tried to chase and kill her descendant, Keiko. After Keiko manages to complete all of her tasks, Futaba appears in front of her and realizes that she wasn't a bad mother after all, and that she was tricked by the witch who made her do all that.

Control's Book

Although she has no role in Control's Book, Yasu can see her in the Ancestors Hallway in Jealousy: Chapter IV, holding her daughter, Hiachi. After Yasu kills Saigomo, she, along with her daughter were free from the witch's curse and pass on to the afterlife.

Dialogues

“	I, most certainly, was not a good mother.. Each day I would let my impulsive feelings get the best of me. The neighbors would often shun us and talk behind our backs. I just wanted to be normal... One day, I decided to make a deal with a demon. The demon promised me that if I devoured a spirit . I would become normal. I became something far worse..	„
	~ Futaba explaining her backstory in The Witch Trials.

“	Control was sent to the east, where she was trapped in a cage unable to feast. Jealousy was sent to the bottom of the sea, part of a forgotten legacy.

And Rebirth was forced deep into the earth, endlessly watching the world in reverse. 4 shall stand, all shall fall.	„
