Tsukine has a laid back and casual attitude, leaving manners at the wayside. Despite her seemingly lackadaisical nature, she's surprisingly active when it comes to her duties. When she has a goal, she moves forward with astonishing speed, and work to accomplish it as efficiently as possible.

Background
She was born in a quiet suburb with her twin sister. On a camping trip in the forests, they both were separated from their parents, and had to live on their own for a month until they were found by a government official and went under his custody. Eventually, she worked her way up in the government and became a judge.

The following are spoilers for the character's past and personality.:

Tsukine was born along with Nitsune near Hope's Peak, and lived a relatively normal life. When she was around the age of seven, the Tragedy happened, and the flood of Despairs into the streets led to a massacre in the areas around Hope's Peak, including their neighborhood. Escaping from the chaos, they managed to hide out in an alleyway with a large slash on her right shoulder and one on Nitsune's left bicep. For a year, they lived on the streets, until they were found and rescued by the Bombe. They were then put under the tutelage of Ren Hirota initially to learn hacking, but she eventually went off to study legal matters and became a judge. During her time as an agent, she acclaimed a high kill count, holding a feared reputation among despairs as "Tsukuyomi". She also climbed up the ranks of the political ladder, seeking to reform the system from within and only barred due to her young age. When she discovered the death of Ren during DRN2, she joined Nitsune on a mission to assassinate Cyan, AKA Yuki Fuyuhara. However, in doing so, they killed the Kotonashi twins and she took Madoka's identity as her own, as it would be easier to infiltrate Despair ranks. They both were eventually caught and arrested for going rouge, and were submitted into DRN3.

Story
In DRN3, Madoka was heavily involved in the trials and investigations, albiet subtly. She silently advised Madoge throughout the trials, and lent her intelligence several times throughout the game. During the game, she was constantly aware of the cameras and the mastermind's presence, often directly spreading anti-Monokuma propaganda. She also once brutally beat up Hasaki in an response to him pushing people off a balcony. She also accompanied Madoge in setting up incense for those that have deceased. In Chapter Seven, they convinced their twin to switch with them and burn them in the oven, both as a desperate attempt to escape in a response to Cyan's trial as a motive, as well as their final act of atonement and peace. Her true identity and tutelage under Ren was also referred to.

 The following are events that have occurred in after-game and are non-canon events.: After she was revived, she revealed her true identity as Tsukine Amakoto and acted as her natural self, proclaiming herself as retired and not interested in hunting Despairs any longer, since any deaths could be reversed. She also reunited with Ren, and went on living the normal life she formerly couldn't.

Relationships

Pamela: She saw her as a form of a surrogate mother, due to a lack of an actual mother. As such, she held a high opinion of her even after her motive was revealed, and even though she does agree that punishment was in order, she did miss her after the fact.

Hasaki: Due to his uncivil antics, she held a very low opinion of him.

Raiden: Due to his uncivil antics, she held a very low opinion of him.

The following are spoilers for the character's past and personality.:

Nitsune: As his twin, she cares for him immensely. Even though she remembers near nothing about her past with him, the experiences of life or death in the streets formed an unbreakable bond. She often confides with him about matters of all kinds, and generally trust him. She is also far more relaxed around him, and are open about his faults, often causing arguments. Even so, she'll protect him by all means. While she claims that they know they both will have no place in a peaceful future, she wishes that he will at least be happy for a moment. When she's about to be killed, she hoped that if they were reborn, that they would be able to stay siblings a little longer in the next life.

Ren: She was his disciple, originally sent to learn hacking from him. However, Ren noticed her talent for legal matters and instead transferred her over to the Legality Branch, as well as the Assassination Branch. She was very attached to him, as he was a mentor that raised her to the best of his ability. As such, she treasures him in both a friendly way and a familial way, even jokingly referring to him as a father. She was very distraught after his death, even going on a mission to avenge him.
