I don't want to go into detail beyond what we are suppose to know, I received enough warnings as it is.

But here are the facts; Yotsuki is both a Shikigami...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikigami

And a Tsukumogami
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukumogami

Now, Shikigami is easy to understand. You use magic to create a magical servant from inanimate objects.

But her also being a Tsukumogami is actually slightly... horrifying.

See, Tsukumogami are suppose to be regular, household objects that gained sentience after 100 years of human use. (Think of it like it gaining a soul after being loved and cared for over a century.)

But Yotsugi has a problem; she isn't based on something normal like an umbrella or a music instrument, she is based on a CORPSE.

A corpse, that was owned as a tool, for a century.

What kind of messed up uses can one have with the preserved corpse of a girl? And for her to be "used" for 100 years continuously?

Regardless, Yozuru only created her in recent times, and Yozuru herself is a normal aged human mortal. So whatever reason Yotsugi was used as a tool for a century, Yozuru is not responsible for it.

As for what Yotsugi is doing 11 years ago? She would either be already a Familiar, or she is still a corpse.
