History[]
Tosca was an orphan taken in by the Church. She was originally sent to the Sigurd Institution to be trained as a warrior but couldn't meet the requirements to become a warrior as she was sent to another project in the church. She was one of the few children chosen to take part in the "Holy Sword Project" supervised by Valper Galilei where he performed human experiments on them. However, Valper later disposed of the children who took part in the project with the exception of Yuuto Kiba who escaped, and Tosca, who had survived due to being protected by her Sacred Gear which she had awakened at the time, sealing her in a barrier that halted her ageing. Researchers then had no choice but to place Tosca into a deep hidden chamber within the facility.[1]
Years later, Tosca was recovered after Valper was expelled and successfully released from her barrier using Grigori's technology due to the alliance of the Three Factions.

She later got into a misunderstanding between herself and Issei, as she believed that he and Yuuto were in a BL relationship due to reading about it in a reference book that Kiryuu gave her. During the end of her stay, she mustered the courage to approach Rias and ask about Yuuto's past after he died as she was afraid he would succumb to revenge. When Rias explained what happened, Tosca thanked her in tears for helping Yuuto as Rias also thanked her for being alive.[2]
Tosca was mentioned in Volume 20, that she occasionally visits the Hyoudou household being taken care of by the girls as well as learning about Japan from Rias, Asia and Koneko.

Tosca is also noted to have gotten along well with Valerie.
