Tormented Tattoo Priestess
"I never wanted to leave you, I wanted to be with you! I'm here, I'll always be here."
"I will shatter my memories... these shards... these pieces of me..."
"I want to see you again. I know I can't see you again, but still, if I could just see you once more... once more... just one more time..."
"I can feel the thoughts of so many people being etched into me. So many voices... so much pain... please don't forget me. This is my voice... my memory... my pain..."
"I feel like you've been in my dreams for so long. Over and over. But I don't want this dream anymore."
"You can't escape me!"
"No one has been saved from this curse."

History
Reika like Kyouka comes from a land faraway, Reika grew up in a village near the Kuze Shrine in which Kyouka resided, the same village where Kaname was smuggled out to as a baby. It was here that the two met and fell in love.
Kaname left the village at some point to study, leaving Reika the Echo Stone Earring his mother had given him. While he was gone, an unspecified disaster occurred (believed to be an avalanche, many of which occurred during the later years of the Edo period in the eastern Tohoku area. Reika's whole family were killed. With no way to contact Kaname and poor future prospects as a young woman without a family or a husband, Reika agreed to serve as a Tattooed Priestess, hoping that she could help people who had experienced pain and loss like her. She went to live at the Kuze Shrine and adopted their surname. During this time she wore ritual attire of blue and white, similar to the Handmaidens.
As a priestess, before the rituals, Reika spent her days in the Hanging Prison, where she was cared for by Amane Kuze, and took comfort in talking to Amane about the outside world. At some point, unaware that Amane was Kaname's half-sister, she showed Amane the Echo Stone Earring. Amane recognized it, and wrote in her diary of her suspicion that Reika's friend was Kaname.
Kyouka had a daughter, Amane, who went on to become a Handmaiden. From a nearby village, a young woman, having survived a catastrophe that took out her entire village, volunteered to become the next Tattoo Priestess. Amane was charged with taking care of her. The pains of others were tattooed on Reika's skin for years. Once completed, she was pinned down in the Chamber of Thorns alongside all the other mares who had volunteered for the job. They were not dead. They were asleep.
In preparation for the Piercing of the Soul ritual, Reika etched her grief into the Mirror of Loss so that it would not interfere with the pain of the parishioners. Much of her pain had to do with Kaname and her desire to see him again. During the Ritual, Reika's body was etched with tattoos to represent the pain of the living and the dead by Engravers. She was tended to by Handmaidens during this time, who had the duty of singing the Handmaiden's Song to her and impaling her during the Impalement Ritual.
Once the tattoos covered her body, Reika was required to break the Mirror of Loss and cast her love away. At some point after receiving the tattoos, Reika wrote about a dream she had of Kaname, revealing that her love for him still existed inside her. She hoped to dream of him in her eternal sleep. At last, she was impaled in the Chamber of Thorns.
Reika's dreams of Kaname, however, had formed a connection with him, and he was dreaming of the House of Sleep. Amane, having been told stories about Reika's friend from her village and what her mother told her about her brother, knew this friend to be her brother. As he held one of the earrings Kyouka had. Feeling pity, she sneaked him into the temple and down to the chamber to see Reika. He woke her, not realizing Yashuu was behind him. Yashuu, enraged by the illegal smuggling of a male inside the sacred temple, killed him before Reika's eyes. Reika, overcome by guilt, allowed the tattoos to enter her eyes, causing the Rift to open and spill out.
Kyouka spirited Reika away from the temple just moments before it was sealed away completely from the real world. But not without a price. The inhabitants of the mansion and temple had been sealed inside a dream world, their ghosts forever wandering the halls and rooms, pulling in others to join them who had also suffered loss. For Kyouka and Reika, they were alive, but cursed. During the day, they are normal Star Borns. During the night, they become ghosts. Reika's touch is fatal during this time.

Love LifeHer past Love Kaname - A rather tragic event, Reika saw the starborn she loved Kaname Ototsuki murdered in front of her eyes by her enraged adopted mother Yashuu Kuze, she instantly regretted wanting to see him again. Perhaps if one tried hard enough to lift the curse she would be able to move on, she still can't bear to see the world yet is unable to sleep for fear of dreaming.---
