Sakuya Tachibana

Sakuya Tachibana is a character introduced in God Eater Burst. Later named as Sakuya Amamiya in God Eater 2. She is a veteran sniper.

God Eater Burst
Through the game, Sakuya plays the role of support in and out of combat. She is very emotional when it comes to the subject of Lindow; she is openly distraught when he goes missing and constantly worries (though this doesn't affect her combat ability), while when evidence points to his status as alive, she expresses joy and hope. It can be said she overreacts slightly when such evidence is presented.

God Eater 2
Three years after Sakuya's marriage to Lindow, her name has changed into Sakuya Amamiya. Sakuya and Lindow have a child named Ren. Although she doesn't appear in the game itself, in God Eater 2 Rage Burst, she is listed in the NORN, which says that she is on maternity leave, but a lot have been wanting her to come back to the front lines. However, the higher-ups recommended her to come back as a supervisor instead.

Character Relationships

 * Lindow Amamiya - Her fiancé and later her husband.
 * Tsubaki Amamiya - Her close friend and Sister-In-Law.
 * Alisa Illinichina Amiella - After Alisa's mental breakdown and recovery, they seem to become friends. In the anime adaptation, both of them aren't on good terms up to date as Alisa keeps on doing her job as a God Eater on her own.
 * Kota Fujiki - At first, Kota tries to impress her in the battlefield. Though after some events, he stopped doing this and just treated her as a friend. In the anime adaptation, it can be assumed that they are on good terms as Kota treats and respects his superiors well.
 * Soma Schicksal - They seem to talk only at certain times in-game due to Soma ending each chat as quick as he could. They seem to be on friendly terms, though. Their relationship in the anime adaptation aren't much of a difference with the aforementioned.
 * Protagonist (God Eater) - Sakuya owes a lot to them due to them bringing Lindow back, and protecting the branch from any harm. In the anime adaptation, Lenka respects her well as a friend and a superior officer.
 * Shio - At first, she got alarmed and uneasy when she heard that Shio is an aragami but her uneasiness disappeared after Dr. Sakaki cleared off that Shio won't prey on them. After a few events, both of them are on good terms.
 * 2nd Unit/ Defense Unit and 3rd Unit/ Research/Reserve Unit - She respects each member well.

Trivia
