Marta Tachibana (立華 マルタ Tachibana Maruta) is a secondary character of Dance With Devils. She was the lover of Lord Nesta, the sister of Maria Tachibana, the mother of Lindo Tachibana and the aunt of Ritsuka Tachibana who died before the beginning of the series.
Appearance[]
Marta bore an extreme resemblance to Lindo Tachibana with short red hair, turquoise eyes and was fair skinned, she also wore a purple lipstick.
She wore a gray blouse, white pants and white heeled shoes. Before dying, Marta became skinny and pale, looking more like a skeleton than a human.
Personality[]
Before giving birth to Lindo Tachibana, Marta seemed to be rather a smiling and responsible woman. However, she was shown to be reckless and have a complete disregard for the rules in pursuing a relationship with Lord Nesta the Vampire Lord. Once she gave birth to Lindo who was a dhampir, she 'died' from the inside and became quiet, refusing to see him as her son and saying that hers was dead, devoured by a monster.
According to Nesta, Marta was like the moon, cold and gray, and while she loved her sister, Maria Tachibana she also resented her, probably due to Maria being loved by all.
History[]
Marta was the lover of Lord Nesta who seemed to be a healthy woman until she discovered that she gave birth to Lindo Tachibana, a dhampir (half vampire, half human). She became ill and weak, having only skin on bones. When Lindo went to bring her a drawing and flowers, she asked who he was and said that her son Lindo was eaten by a monster. She then died, certainly due to her illness.
