Origami Tobiichi is a key character in Date A Live, created by Koshi Tachibana. Known for her icy demeanor and striking beauty, Origami initially harbors a deep hatred for Spirits due to a tragic event where her parents were killed in a Spirit-related disaster. This drives her to join the Anti-Spirit Team (AST) with a mission of revenge.

Throughout the series, her character undergoes significant development, especially in her interactions with Shido Itsuka, which play a crucial role in softening her tough exterior and revealing her deeper layers. Despite her cold attitude, Origami's character is complex, making her an essential and compelling figure in the anime.

Appearance and Personality

Origami Tobiichi is defined by her stoicism and relentless determination, often coming across as distant and singularly focused on her mission to destroy Spirits. Beneath this exterior, she’s almost an empty vessel, driven only by her tragic past.

Physically, Origami is stunning. Her deep blue eyes, silvery-white hair in a bob cut, and pale skin create an ethereal, alluring presence. Originally, she had long hair that reached her waist, but she cut it after her powers were sealed, enhancing her enigmatic charm.

Despite her cold demeanor, she reveals moments of vulnerability, particularly around Shido, showing she’s more than just a warrior. Her sleek figure and intelligent attitude make her a captivating character throughout the series.

As the story progresses and the threat of the Spirits fades, Origami becomes more affectionate and cheerful, often displaying smiles that reveal a softer side to her once-cold exterior.
