Matsumae

Matsumae was a teacher at Seinan Gakuin High School, the homeroom teacher of Shuu Tsukiyama, a ghoul in the employment of the Tsukiyama family who was the General Manager of the Tsukiyama Group. Matsumae is a young woman with dark black hair that is cut in a chin-length bob with bangs swept to the left side. Notably, Matsumae's eyes are depicted as almost fully black, with a slight volume of white on the sides of her sclera. In the past, her hair was shoulder length and gradually became shorter as time progressed, eventually resulting in the present style. Her clothing is similar to other fellow servants, varying depending on the task. During her last fight, she wears a black suit with white blouse underneath and black pants (at other times, there is a ribbon-like knot — black in the manga, red in the anime — dangling from her collar). In Shuu Tsukiyama's last flashback of her, she wore simply a blouse and skirt. Little is shown of Matsumae's personality, but she appears responsible for keeping an eye on Shuu Tsukiyama while acting as his teacher. She's shown to keep a cool head, even when surrounded by ghoul investigators and commanded her group of ghouls in combat. Like her master, Matsumae retains a professional behavior even when under what is normally considered pressuring, such as a CCG extermination. Before staying behind to hold off the CCG, she reveals she loves Tsukiyama like he was her little brother and was willing to sacrifice her life so he'd be able to escape. While fighting Hairu Ihei for the second time, she shows a brutal side of her in desperation in order to win and protect Tsukiyama. Her thoughts are slightly opposite of her displayed calmness; for example, showing surprise and exclamation at Hairu's moves while the two were fighting.
