Amatsu Ruri

Amatsu Ruri (瑠璃天津, Ruri Amatsu) is a currently protecting Skylark household, or more precisely, haunting it. Originally a human going by the same name, she was a member of Fiore's Ruri Clan, before severing ties with her kin over the unstable nature of her power. She would eventually strike out on her own after mastering this power, breaking out of the forced seclusion placed on her by the clan's elders. In time, Amatsu would meet a recovering Kraken Bonez, striking up a partnership that lead to the birth of their daughter Aojiro. Nonetheless, she would separate from him after realizing the depths of his vindictive nature and his coveting her magic. Though never reconciling with her clan in her lifetime, Ama would entrust her daughter to her elder sister before going to fight Kraken.

Unfortunately, she would lose, and be absorbed via his curse, though not before sealing away her magic in a place he couldn't reach. A fact that likely infuriated him to no end; she would then spend the next few decades as a spirit residing inside Krak, learning of her daughter's survival and subsequent corruption, before having the satisfaction of watching her persevere. Amatsu would ultimately be freed by the killing blow of her daughter's magic, exchanging some words with the woman before departing to the afterlife. Only to return after cutting a deal with the underworld, putting severe perimeters on her existence. Nonetheless, it's allowed her to participate in the world once more; these days, she's found playing with her great-granddaughter or pulling light-hearted pranks on guests, determined to make the most of her new station.
