Kei Tsukishima

Personality:   Tsukishima is very tall and has an incredibly slim build for a volleyball player. Despite being a first-year, she is the tallest player on the volleyball team; standing at 190.1 cm. She has long blond hair, pale skin, thin eyebrows, and golden-brown eyes. She is often seen with a frown or a condescending smirk on her face. After joining the Karasuno volleyball team, Tsukishima wears the standard Karasuno volleyball uniform (black, orange, and white uniform with the number 11 on the back) during matches. She also wears knee pads and white volleyball shoes with green details. She is also the only player on the Karasuno team who wears glasses. Since Chapter 109, Tsukishima began wearing prescription sports glasses that were given to her by her brother. Outside of matches and practice, Tsukishima wears a black gakuran, the Karasuno female uniform. She is usually seen with white headphones around her neck. The brand of these headphones seems to be "Somy", which is a play on the real name brand "Sony". She has been seen wearing various shirts with crescent moons on them, which plays on her name "Tsukishima" with tsuki meaning "moon". Tsukishima is very blunt and will sometimes rile her teammates up due to her antagonistic nature (most notably being Hinata, Kageyama, Nishinoya, and Tanaka) and sometimes other teams because of her casual smug attitude, taking pride in and relishing when her opponents see her as a nuisance as seen with Tendō and Shirabu. Whenever someone does or says something stupid or silly, she is usually seen snickering in the background. However, she does seem to be intimidated by her seniors, being nowhere in sight when Daichi reprimands Tanaka for antagonizing Aoba Johsai even though she did so as well or backing down whenever Ennoshita calls her out. Despite coming across as arrogant, Tsukishima has low self-esteem and thinks of herself as inferior. This is first noted to be a surprise by Kuroo, who accidentally riles her up by suggesting she'll lose to Hinata, to which she says that she's already below her. After the Shiratorizawa match, despite being the MVP, she's seen calling herself lame for only being able to block Ushijima's spikes once, only adding to how little she believes in herself and her achievements. Although Tsukishima maintains a persona of someone who shows little interest in anything and wouldn't do something she didn't like or enjoy, she does truly enjoy volleyball. She initially refrained from putting too much effort into volleyball and being too passionate about it out of fear of suffering from the same fate as her brother. However, after her confrontation with Yamaguchi and hearing Bokuto's inspirational words in the Tokyo training camp, she started to take the sport more seriously and finally found her passion and motivation for volleyball when she blocked Ushijima. Tsukishima keeps her cool, for the most part, but she can be seen getting visibly annoyed when people underestimate her or tell her what she can or cannot do, and uses it as motivation to prove them wrong. She also says things like "It's not a competition" with Hinata but then immediately proceeds to do something to make her jealous, such as the time difference attack during the Shiratorizawa match. According to Akiteru, "Kei is blunt and doesn't show her emotions often, but she is actually a very hardworking and kind girl." Tsukishima was shown to be a lot more cheerful when she was younger and had a very close relationship with her older brother, Akiteru. She would attend several of Akiteru's middle school matches and seemed to enjoy the attention she received from locals who knew her as the younger brother of the team ace. Sometime in elementary school, she sees Yamaguchi being bullied by several other girls. She doesn't do anything, except call them pathetic; although it is unknown if this was aimed at Yamaguchi and/or the bullies. Shortly after, Tsukishima runs into Yamaguchi again when she e was observing a volleyball class. Although she didn't remember Yamaguchi right away, Tsukishima is soon flattered by her when Tsukishima claims that her older brother plays at Karasuno as the team ace, and the two quickly become close friends. Although Akiteru would state to be working very hard during practice and playing as the team ace again, Tsukishima was kept from attending any Karasuno games because her brother claimed he would become too nervous if he was being watched. When Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, and a classmate decided to attend one of Karasuno's games to settle a debate about Akiteru being a starting regular, Tsukishima discovers her brother is not on the team and is instead in the bleachers with the cheer section. Tsukishima's behavior toward her brother and volleyball changed from this point as she began to distance herself from Akiteru and also began to think that putting in so much hard work would only lead to disappointment in the future.
