Yukie Tsukimura

Yukie Tsukimura was a human who appeared in Episode Two of the Nightwalker anime. She was a famous actress who made a deal with a nightbreed to gain stardom. In exchange for eating humans to fulfill the breed's appetite, Tsukimura was granted a "luster" that allowed her to "shine on stage." With the breed's help, she became a great and charismatic actress who ranged in everything from musical to opera.

After Yoko Asahina convinced Tskumiura's breed to leave and possess her instead, a distraught Tsukimura was believed to have committed suicide by throwing herself off the roof of a theater. She had many fans, including Riho Yamazaki.

Personality:
She was very protective and dependent on the luster the breed gave her as she attempted to kill Yoko after she learned of the breed. Although she did show regret for having to kill and eat humans to maintain the deal, she continued to do so as maintaining her stardom was more important to her. She did show some concern for human life as she tried to warn Yoko that she wouldn't be able to handle the breed's instincts.

Once the breed left Tsukimura for Yoko though, Tsukimura became distraught and begged the nightbreed to return, saying that she had fulfilled all of the breed's desires and that she couldn't live without it. The lattermost statement proved true.

History:
At some point in the past, Tsukimura made a deal with a nightbreed to gain stardom. A great many rumors surrounded her concerning how she became such a famous actress so fast, most of which were true. Some of the rumors included that she had made a deal with the devil and that she fed off other people to gain her stardom.

Episode 2:
Tsukimura opens the episode by killing her manager and tearing open his chest to eat one of his organs (a heart perhaps) with her bare hands. She is interrupted during her meal by Yoko Asahina, who reveals that she knows of the rumors concerning Tsukimura's rise to fame.

Tsukimura attacks Yoko and starts to strangle her with her hair, apologizing that she would have let Yoko live if she hadn't found out Tsukimura's secret. Yoko counters by offering Tsukimura's nightbreed to leave Tsukimura in exchange for her soul. Tsukimura warns her that the nightbreed is something Yoko can't handle when the nightbreed decides to leave Tsukimura.

Tsukimura begs the breed to come back, but the breed ignores her and possesses Yoko. Without the luster provided by the breed, Tsukimura believes her skill as an actress will fade and she will lose her stardom. Thus, she commits suicide by throwing herself off the roof of the theater.
