Characters
Towa Higurashi
Towa Higurashi is a fourteen year old girl living in the Reiwa era and attending junior high school. She has a hazy memory of being caught in a forest fire with her twin sister and then being stripped away from her. She was adopted by Sota Higurashi and his wife Moe and raised alongside their natural child, Mei. Towa often gets in fights at school and wears a boy's uniform because she finds it easier to fight in.
Towa's past soon comes crashing back into her life when the Rainbow Pearls belonging to her cousin Moroha and her long-lost sister Setsuna allow them to travel to the modern era in their battle against a demon who seeks to claim the stones for herself. Towa is overjoyed to find Setsuna after so many years apart, but finds her sister stoic and distant. She soon learns that her sister cannot sleep due to the Dream Butterfly stealing her dreams. This prompts her to return to the past with Moroha and Setsuna to try to aid her sister.
Along the way the twins discover that they are the children of Sesshomaru and Rin and learn that their mother is held in a state of suspended animation with the Goshinboku Tree. With her way home cut off, Towa must remain in the past and aid her sister in their battle against Kirinmaru, the powerful Great Demon that seeks to destroy half-demons due to a prophecy that one will eventually slay him.
The Meaning Behind the Name - 日暮とわ
The three main leads of the series each write their name in hiragana rather than kanji, so finding any suggestive meaning is more challenging. However in the preview for the next episode at the end of episode 35, Towa states that her name means "eternity" which would be written with the kanji 永久. Higurashi (日暮) is written with the characters for "day" and "to make a living". No real pun there, it's just a normal Japanese family name.
