Io was born with the power to heal, and later acquired the ability to control the dead, the sea, and agriculture as the result of her coming-of-age ceremony.During her coming-of-age ceremony, she became a contracted follower of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, who gifted her new powers, the name Tsukinaga, as well as Ruby, her guardian snake. In return, Io has to serve as His disciple, performing duties such as helping Him rule over the night, and spread His message to the world.The reason for Io’s unpredictability may also come from the internal conflict between the effect of the moon and the obsession with enforcing order, a trait passed down to her by Tsukuyomi. Io also inherited cold strictness from the God, which contributes to her moons swings.Like any Lunarian, Io’s power and emotions are affected by the phases of the moon.
