Turquoise (ターコイズ, Tākoizu) is a member of Ishigami Village. She serves as one of Ruri's guards alongside Jasper.

Appearance

Turquoise is a beautiful woman with shoulder-length glossy black hair, worn slicked back. She has almond-shaped eyes, slightly pointed at the ends from her eyelashes. Her eyebrows are small and very short. She has a small nose and no visible lips.

Her outfit consists of a long, form-fitting, dark blue-green dress with short sleeves and a high collar. She wears the village rope around her neck, including the tasseled section underneath the knot which is tied at the front.

Personality

Turquoise takes the motherly role of Ruri and Kohaku, always lecturing them in any way possible. She is also extremely worried about Ruri and overprotective of her, she never leaves her side only when asked and won't let anyone near her at first.

Abilities and Skills

• Leadership: Turquoise appears to have a say in the villagers matters, being trusted alongside Jasper by Kokuyo.

• Guardianship: Turquoise is one of the key guardians of Ruri, along with Jasper. When Ruri would fall down in pain, Turquoise and Jasper would immediately rush to her care, and stop others such as Senku from getting near. She appears to have done this for many years, and would continue to after Ruri was cured.

• Cooking: Turquoise seems to have learnt how to cook Ramen, shown bringing Ramen to the children and old folk creating the gold threads, and is later shown making Ramen with Jasper.

Plot

Kingdom of Science Arc

She is first seen berating Kohaku for not doing her job properly, in response to Kohaku lying she fell asleep while carrying water for Ruri. She and Jasper then leave the two sisters alone on Ruri's request.

Turquoise and Jasper are next present at a hearing with what appears to be the village's leader, Kokuyo. They disclose that Kohaku was responsible for bringing in a stranger to the village, much to Kokuyo's frustration.

Village Games Arc

Turquoise makes preparations for the village tournament and confirms to Kokuyo that everything is ready. She berates Jasper for letting Kohaku into the tournament again, with Kokuyo saying he wouldn't let a man who can't beat a woman rule the village anyway.

Turquoise, along with the rest of the villagers thinks in unison that a man like Ginro cannot become the chief of the village after seeing him out his intentions. They celebrate Senku's victory but are quickly shocked by his next accidental win in the finals, as Chrome faints from his injuries.

Once Kokuyo and Senku conflict over the position of the chief, an uncertain village asks who to side with. An outraged Turquoise orders them to side with the chief, although the villagers say that Senku won the tournament fairly and married the priestess, thereby respecting the village's tradition.

Vs. Hyoga Arc

When Homura set the village ablaze, a worried Turquoise and Jasper tried to tend to Ruri. However, they were told to forget her and protect the children. While doing so, the pair spotted Homura who cut off their path.

Communications Arc

Turquoise is present when Senku creates cotton candy and is amazed by the taste.

Once Senku finished recreating the record player is made, Turquoise is amazed by hearing the recording of Senku's father and the song by Lillian Weinberg.

When Homura attacked, Turquoise was surprised when she recognized her from her months of observation.

South America Arc

Due to the petrification beam being activated, Turquoise was petrified with the other villagers.
