• Arch-Enemy: Oitsuki, who she believes killed her friend.
• Cat Girl: She is a cat yōkai.
• Lightning Bruiser: With attack, speed and critical hit all ranked S while HP and defense ranked B, she's a good choice for the main attacker in the group.
• Little Bit Beastly: The only thing marking her as cat-themed is her ears and her two tails. The rest is humanoid.
• Older Than They Look: The fact that she talks like an old man suggests she is this.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Fish. In her bio, she narrates about frequenting a pub where a woman serves her fish.

Ninmenju

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae

ID: No. 317

A tree that used to be worshipped as a shinboku by a community of humans, but unfortunately was just an ordinary tree unable to grant wishes.

---

• Botanical Abomination: His appearance, which is about 10% vaguely humanoid and 90% giant monstrous walking tree trunk, should have many players shuddering from the sight of him.
• Dub Name Change: Jinmenju in the English version.
• Dump Stat: ATK, since even his basic attack skill scales off his DEF.
• Fake Longevity: Like Mannendake, although it was once possible to earn him in a shard-collecting event during his release period.
• Mighty Glacier: Abysmally slow, but with extremely high DEF and HP. His slowness is intentional, as his passive stacks layers of his flowers on enemies, which he consumes at the end of his turn (or with his ability) to inflict indirect damage onto them, thus necessitating that he moves last.
• Plant Person
• Temporary Online Content: During his release event, players were able to earn shards they could use to craft him by doing jade friendship packs with their friends. After the event was over it became impossible to earn any more shards- even the existing ones cannot be traded between players (because you're not allowed to wish for shrine shikigami in your guild, since they're not supposed to have shards), making any remaining shards in existence worthless.
• Unlockable Content: He can only be purchased from the shrine for 3,500 ofuda.

Nōkanshi

^{Click to see Awakened form.}

Voiced by: Show Hayami

ID: No. 321

One who takes care of the bodies of the dead before putting them to rest. He has had a tragic romance in the past – tragic enough to turn him into a demon.

---

• Alternate Character Reading: Before the official Japanese reading of his name is confirmed, it was disputed whether his name is read "Nōkanshi" or "Okuribito". The English release went with the latter, despite "Nōkanshi" now being the official reading.
  • Inexplicably, in the English version of his bio, he even describes himself as a Nōkanshi, despite the fact they still call him Okuribito. Someone on the translation team was blatantly asleep at the wheel for that one.
• Arch-Enemy: Possibly Ittan-Momen- they both cared for the same young girl, but after she was killed Ittan-Momen took her soul and merged it with her own, while Okuribito took her body and attempted to revive her via Deal with the Devil, leading them to come to blows when they met.
• Battle Couple: He can summon the reanimated husk of Oriyuki, his late lover, to fight his enemies.
• Beard of Sorrow: As seen in his backstory animation, he was clean-shaven before his lover died. After he found her body, his appearance grew increasingly haggard.
• Chained by Fashion: In his evolved form a shackle around his right wrist is attached to a chain that wraps around the cabinet containing his lover's reanimated body.
• Damage Over Time: Similar to Chin, Nōkanshi's second skill lets him stack layers of poison onto enemies that increases the more layers there are, that then deal percent damage calculated after the victim's max HP. Unlike her, however, this skill does damage targets hit, his poison takes effect after the enemy's had their turn, he cannot manually stack layers with his basic attack, excess stacks don't cause burst damage, nor do enemies gain more if they hit him. If anything, having stacked enemies hitting him with normal attacks is extremely bad, as it removes all of the layers they have on them.
• Deal with the Devil: According to his bio, he made a deal with Enma to have his lover restored to life. Instead she seems to have returned as some sort of beautiful living puppet, possibly because her soul is with Ittan-Momen.
• Everybody Calls Him "Barkeep": Similar to several other shikigami in the game, "Nōkanshi" is not a name, but rather something of a Japanese equivalent to an undertaker, mortician and priest, who performs services and rituals to prepare the dead for a funeral.
• The Lost Lenore: His lover died tragically and the fact he couldn't decorate her body as nicely as he wanted is as tear-jerking as it can get. Until she came Back from the Dead, that is.
• Red Right Hand: Literally, in his evolved form his right hand is an oversized, crimson, skeletal claw which is on fire.
• Soulless Shell: His lover's body was revived by Enma's spell as one of these, as her soul was taken by Ittan-Momen. While he's not entirely happy, he's at least satisfied with it for now.
• Spam Attack: Two variants:
  • His Soulsplit ability is a high-damage but very cheap (once maxed) attack which also puts a stacking curse on the target with every hit. The target can remove the curse by using a normal attack on Nokanshi (and only a normal attack, making it function like a soft taunt against enemies who'd rather not be attacking like Oitsuki), but if they don't remove it they take considerable damage depending on the number of stacks they've accrued, which is based on a percentage of Nokanshi's HP and can end up doing colossal amounts of damage if he marks them enough times.
  • His trademark ability, Coffin of White Roses, puts him into a sort of "turret mode", where his SPD is halved and his DEF and Effect RES are massively boosted. While he's in this mode, every time an enemy acts he hits that enemy and whichever other target has the lowest remaining HP, which can rack up a lot of damage over time, especially against a speed-based team composition.
• Spell My Name With An S: The game presents a confusing case with his name. While he introduces himself using the official translation of "Nōkanshi", the English version as well as the (also-)official PVs call him "Okuribito". Either of which are correct, but the former is far more common.

Role: Mage (Kessen!)

Specialty: Control, Charge (Kessen)

An arrogant yōkai who lives in a shrine and acts like a god even though she's not a god, outright admits she's not a god, but enjoys being worshiped anyway.

---

• God Guise: She knows she's not a god, but she uses her powers to trick a community of humans into believing she is one, and then basks in their worship.
• Lunacy: It's evident in her name. The moon is a main motif in her design as well as her skills.
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: Prominent in her base and evolved skins.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While she vainly enjoys being worshiped as a goddess despite not being one, she works hard to try and fulfill her worshipers' wishes with her own strength, to make up for her lack of actual godly power.
• Little Bit Beastly: Dances on the edge of Beast Folk; she has the large fluffy bunny ears and a surprisingly long and not very rabbit-like fluffy tail (except in her alternate skin where she has a more rabbity puffball tail), but also a cute button nose, which makes her more visibly inhuman and is more prominent in her evolved form.
• Ms. Fanservice: Very sexy and scantily-clad, with her outfits showing off both her cleavage and considerable amounts of juicy thigh.
• Mystical White Hair
• Paper Fan of Doom: Has one.
• Stone Wall: She has a disappointingly low attack value (2305, ranked C) but impressive HP (12760, ranked S).
• Suicide Mission: The impossible request she is given, as told in her last autobiography, is basically this. The woman giving the said request has her child eaten by a yōkai, so she wants all yōkai to be exterminated. In case that's not clear enough, Oitsukigami is a yōkai herself.
• Temporary Online Content: Formerly. She used to be only obtainable when available via Dōshin no Ran feature, which basically involves inviting your friend to team up with you for a set number of battles in order to get rewards. She can be summoned now.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Not outright villainous, but she is a haughty, narcissistic, lying wannabe god with white hair.

Voiced by: Mari Hagai

ID: No. 318

A caterpillar who longs to become a butterfly, but due to a dislike of mulberry leaves, she ends up a half-caterpillar half-butterfly who's unable to fully mature.

---

• Death Seeker: After learning the truth about her other personality, she expressed a wish to kill herself so that her students can finally graduate without her killing them.
• Does Not Like Spam: Mulberry leaves, and boy does she suffer the consequences.
• Fan Disservice: Her evolved form initially appears much sexier than her unevolved form with her much less conservative kimono showing off a vast amount of her cleavage. Unfortunately she also drops most of the "Cute" from "Cute Monster Girl", as the segmented sections of her skin are exposed, as are her two additional pairs of claws, and a pair of mandibles sprouts from her cheeks to accompany the much larger horn on her forehead. Even her caterpillar lower body becomes more monstrous-looking.
• Hime Cut: In her Awakened form.
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: In her evolved form.
• Ingesting Knowledge: Her Hyde personality is actually her original. Her kind personality is a side effect of literally consuming the knowledge of the books she ate due to their spiritual power.
• Jekyll & Hyde: During the day she's a sweet and enthusiastic teacher. After falling asleep at the end of the day, at night she wakes up as a cannibalistic monster.
• Poisonous Person: She specializes in poison damage.
• Split Personality: Her first and third bios are narrated by her unevolved self during the day, encouraging her students to make cocoons so they can become butterflies. Her second bio is narrated by her evolved self who eats her students in their cocoons, leaving her good self to believe they metamorphosed into butterflies and flew away.

^{Click to see skin.}

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto

ID: No. 267

A Cherry Blossom Girl who is introduced trying to kill Seimei for murdering her human fiancé. She is close friends with Momo-no-sei.

---

• Cherry Blossom Girl: Obviously.
• Crusading Widow: She tries to off Seimei thinking him the murderer of her fiancé. He isn't, but his Literal Split Personality is, so that means he… kinda is?
• The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Before she is released as a shikigami, her skills are the same as Momo's, which include resurrection; it becomes this trope when currently A.I. Sakura still has that skill while shikigami Sakura doesn't. The only time it is averted is when she is in the skin dungeons, which ironically are the biggest offender of this trope.
• Dub Name Change: Downplayed. Her name is shortened into 'Sakura' in the English dub.
• Healing Hands: She has a passive skill which automatically heals a member of her team (herself included) whenever they take an action for an amount based on her max HP. She has a random chance of doubling the healing amount.
• Interspecies Romance: Her romance with a human man, which Momo spoke up against.
• Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She dresses like a frigging bride into battle post-Awakening.
• The Lost Lenore: The whole damn plot of the episode that stars her. Her human fiancé dies, so she falls into despair, turning a whole forest inhabited by various creatures into a wasteland and trying to kill who she assumed to be the murderer.
• Mighty Glacier: She has high HP (13785, which has an S rank) and the slowest speed in the game (99 post-Awakening, ranked C).

Sasori-onna

^{Click to see Awakened form.}

Voiced by: Reina Ueda

ID: No. 350

Role: Ninja (Kessen!)

Specialty: Burst, Charge (Kessen)

---

• Early-Bird Cameo: She appeared in some of Suzuka Gozen's illustrations a good while before she was actually added to the game.
• Facial Markings: She has what appear to be tattoos on her cheeks resembling scorpions legs.
• Magikarp Power: Sasori-onna pretty much needs to have her passive and special maxed out in order to get the most mileage out of her Poison procs and heal. Without these upgrades, she will need to proc Poison stacks using her special, with much weaker heals and no Splash Damage.
• Master Poisoner: Befitting her scorpion motif, Sasori-onna inflicts her victims with stacks of Scorpion Poison. When triggered by her special ability, a victim's stack will explode, dealing indirect damage to them as well as healing Sasori-onna for a portion of the damage dealt, while the heal overflow will spread to her teammates after Awakening. With enough skill upgrades, Poison stacks will explode automatically at the end of an enemy's turn, and can splash out onto others, dealing indirect damage to everybody.
• Ms. Fanservice: Her outfit doesn't leave much to the imagination; she wears very short hakama that show off slender legs with Zettai Ryouiki coloring, plus tops that liberally bare her shoulders and back.
• Scorpion People: As her name implies, she's a youthful girl with scorpion pincers as hands and a scorpion tail.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Kani-Hime. The two constantly bicker and snipe at each other over who is the better leader for Sealand between Suzuka Gozen and Otakemaru and regularly almost come to blows, although it's treated like childish squabbling.
• Undying Loyalty: To Suzuka Gozen, bordering on obsessive fangirling. This is why she and Kani-Hime hate each other so much, as each is utterly dedicated to their chosen ruler of Sealand and snubs the other, despite Suzuka Gozen and Otakemaru being extremely close.
• Vocal Dissonance: Her voice is a good deal deeper than her youthful appearance suggests.

Is everyone okay?

An Afterworld-official-in-training who is close friends with Kurodōji and acts as a Living Emotional Crutch for the latter.

---

• Adorably Precocious Child: Sweet kid who takes his responsibility as a Shinigami seriously.
• Back from the Dead: He can temporarily resurrect dead teammates and/or enemies to fight remaining opponents for one turn.
  • Plot-wise, in his autobiography, it is stated that he split his soul with dead Kurodōji to bring him back to life on one condition that both of them must become Afterworld officials.
• Badass Adorable: Cute little boy kicks ass.
• Barrier Warrior: His special skill, whose sequence is summon a huge-ass explosive dumpling → create damage-absorbing shields for the entire team in the form of dumplings running in circles around each member → resurrect dead combatants for one turn if possible to fight remaining foes.
• Facial Markings: Has a large red triangle on his forehead.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: The Sanguine in the group consisting of himself, Kurodōji and the Mujō brothers.
• Hime Cut: Has this style once Awakened, which doesn't help considering how androgynous he looks.
• Lightning Bruiser: He has high attack value and high speed (they are 3189 and 113 respectively, both ranked S) coupled with decent HP (10,482, ranked B). Add his defensive skill on top of that, and he's a force to reckon with.
• Living Emotional Crutch: To Kurodōji. He greatly cares about him, at one point even teaching Kurodōji to speak again.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: An unbelievably adorable boy with wavy black-and-red locks. The Hime Cut he wears makes him look ten times cuter.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Kurodōji's Red.
• Sadly Mythcharacterized: The Dōji are not exactly accurate depictions of the Wúcháng either.
• Shinigami: Also based on the White half of the Hēibái Wúcháng.
• Take Me Instead: According to his autobiography, he volunteered to become a Human Sacrifice when his village leader was worried that he would have to sacrifice a child to the mountain deity.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: He is not a Creepy Child like Kurodōji, but he does display feats of power and aggressive behavior that have the Mujō brothers in shock.
• The Turret Master: In the MOBA game, he can plant his flag on the field as a stationary missile shooting unit.
• Vocal Dissonance: As is the case with Kurodōji, nobody expected this feminine-looking boy to have such a deeply masculine voice.
• White Shirt of Death: Given that he is in the image of Shiromujō.

ID: No. 210

Role: Mage (Kessen!)

Specialty: Control, DPS (Kessen!)

A proper and gentlemanly Afterworld official who, along with his brother Kuromujō, is in charge of taking the souls of the dead to their rightful place.

---

• Damage Over Time/Poisonous Person: His third skill deals poison damage.
• Exotic Eye Designs: Like his brother, he has red sclerae.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Responsible to Kuromujō's Foolish, which is why he stays a Shinigami alongside him in the first place out of concern even though Kuromujō was supposed to have freed him from his responsibilities.
• Four-Temperament Ensemble: The Phlegmatic in the group consisting of himself, his brother and their two apprentices.
• Hair-Contrast Duo: With Kuromujō.
• Incest Subtext: The brothers display a lot of this, with their interactions amounting to low-key Tsundere for each other.
• Lightning Bruiser: Has high attack and speed (3055 and 116 respectively, both ranked S) and decent HP and armor (10254 and 423 respectively, both ranked B).
• Night and Day Duo: He wears a sun symbol on his hat representing Day as opposed to Kuromujō's Night. He also decorates himself with ears of rice, a mirror on his belt and shide on its either sides to complete the Amaterasu imagery.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Like his brother, he looks completely human except for his blood-red sclera.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Kuromujō's Red.
• Related in the Adaptation: The Hēibái Wúcháng in real-life Taoist mythos are not related, but he and Kuromujō are actual siblings.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Twice. The Mujō brothers were abused by their parents when they were alive. The younger sibling died first and enlisted the help of a hell demon to take revenge on the father, thus becoming a Shinigami in the old one's stead. The amnesiac Shiromujō then lent his help to his dead brother to kill off the mother as well.
• Sadly Mythcharacterized: It is safe to assume he and his brother are In Name Only versions of the mythological Wúcháng, though their personalities fit the characterization of the white one being nicer.
• Self-Made Orphan: He and his brother kill both of their parents after their death.
• Sibling Yin-Yang. With Kuromujō, obviously. Comes with color-coding.
• Shinigami: Based on the White half of the Hēibái Wúcháng, a pair of Chinese shinigami.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: He usually doesn't display much emotion, but once in a while his soft side resurfaces. This is shown well in his recollections regarding his feelings about his brother and the first side story that introduces the Dōji.
• Summon Magic: His second skill allows him to summon tiny explosive demons in place of dead enemies.
• Those Two Guys: Rarely seen without his brother in-story.
• White Shirt of Death: He is a death god who wears white.
• Wistful Amnesia: He was required to give up his memory in order to become an Afterworld official, but he constantly gets déjà-vu around Kuromujō.
• Zigzag Paper Tassel: Has two of these hanging from his shimenawa belt.

Voiced by: Masaya Onosaka

ID: No. 291

A scholarly demon constantly wandering in search of and chronicling beauty.

---

• All Your Powers Combined: His "curse" skill, which collects all damage dealt to a cursed enemy and then deals a share of the total amount (at its highest level, this is 90%) to them on Shoyō's second turn after casting the spell, given said enemy hasn't yet been knocked out already.
• Anachronism Stew: Not himself, but his second post-release skin, which features a cameo appearance from Kumamon, who was invented in 2010.
• Art Attacker: Ink strokes everywhere and bird drawings that come to life…
• Artificial Stupidity: If left on auto and not given specific targeting instructions, his Scroll of Everything curse will always be aimed at the target with the lowest remaining HP (and the second application, if leveled that high, will automatically target the next-lowest regardless of targeting instructions). While this doesn't matter in battles against large single-target bosses, where the only available targets are going to be the boss and the Ushi no Toki doll you've set up anyway, against Flunky Bosses this is a bad thing, as the weaker flunkies will often draw the spell then die to your normal AoE abilities anyway before it can even resolve, completely wasting it. You have to take a direct hand to get the most out of him.
• Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: See High-Class Glass below.
• Barrier Warrior: Can cast a protective spell over one teammate that caps any damage dealt to them to 15% of their maximum HP per hit. Once Awakened, he will automatically be protected himself at the beginning of a battle. This skill helps anyone protected by it survive One Hit Kills (although it's much less effective, if not completely useless, against attacks that hit multiple times).
• Dub Name Change: His name is changed to "Bukkuman" (Bookman) in the English version.
• Gentleman and a Scholar: His autobiography shows that he seems to be a learned and cultured man with pleasant demeanor.
• Healing Hands: His protective spell also heals whomever it's cast on. However, the amount is small, so it's not recommended to use him as a main healer.
• Hidden Depths/Soft-Spoken Sadist: As pleasant and courteous he is off the battlefield, during combat, his lines seem to subtly suggest some measure of sadism and ruthlessness all delivered with an unflinchingly soft voice.
  Shoyō: I will not forgive lack of knowledge.
• High-Class Glass: Wears one post-Awakening, but why the designers decided it was a good idea to include it in a goddamn Heian period setting when it was neither invented yet nor would it have any business there since the monocle is exclusively Western is anyone's guess.^note But since he's just that breathtakingly handsome wearing it, we would give this one a pass.
• Hime Cut: This game seems to love having guys sporting this cut, and he is no exception. His post-Awakening hairstyle combines this style with Fashionable Asymmetry, and it very much fits his elegant personality and mannerisms.
• Insufferable Genius: He is calm and pleasant most of the time, but his lines in battle suggest that he is more haughty than he usually shows.
  Shoyō: You ignorant lot, begone!
• Jack of All Stats: Just wait until you see his post-Awakening stats - all of them are ranked A. However, his default stats consisting of high critical hit rate (ranked A) and low speed (ranked C) suggest that he is a Mighty Glacier.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Possibly the prettiest one in the entire game.
• Mystical White Hair: Straight-up white by default (with black tips on the side locks) and more or less grey when Awakened.
• No Ontological Inertia: His curse will be dispelled instantly if he dies in battle. Justified since the skill has to be activated on his turn.
• The Pen Is Mightier: He is often compared to Hangan because of this.
• Status Effects: Averted, his curse is not a status effect, so it cannot be removed ever and bypasses status effect immunity. If he is grouped with a powerful attacker, opponents under his curse are pretty much already dead.
• Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: Like Mōba, the damage collected in his special skill (see You Are Already Dead below) ignores Shōzu's life-link, so he is a good choice against her.
• Warrior Poet: Badass guy who loves chronicling the beauty of the world and criticizes his opponents' "lack of knowledge" mid-battle.
• Variant Power Copying: His third skill, the "curse", is basically this, since it only copies the damage dealt to an affected enemy. The curse will be activated on Shoyō's next turn, at which point it becomes…
• You Are Already Dead: One of his special skills which, when cast over an opponent, memorizes the damage dealt to them since the spell is cast. Said opponent then receives a share of the total memorized damage, which can add up to 5 figures, on Shoyō's next turn. If it is high enough, the enemy will immediately die as soon as Shoyō's turn arrives.

A half-bird, half-human who seems to love her children and is more willing to protect them than anything in the world.

---

• Action Mom: She seems to be a responsible mother who kicks ass.
• Bird People
• Bishōnen Line: She trades her bird head for humanoid facial features and hair when she is Awakened.
• Friend to All Children: When we says she loves "her children", she sees all children in the world as hers, and will kidnap children from abusive or neglectful families to raise as her own. She even sees caring for all children as her sole reason for being.
• The Ghost: We never know who her child(ren) is/are.
• Herd-Hitting Attack: When her third skill is executed, beware. It deals huge damage to all enemies, which is the reason why she is one of the most frequently-used shikigami.
• Knight Templar Parent: As mentioned, she kidnaps children from families who don't care for them properly.
• Lightning Bruiser: Part of what makes her such a scary shikigami. She has high attack, speed and critical hit rate (3082, 113 and 10% respectively, all ranked S).
• Palette Swap: Her second and third skins are practically the same, with the only difference being the three small critters at her feet being changed to darumas.
• Parasol of Pain: Her weapon, and she is practically the best umbrella fighter in the game.
• Spam Attack: She runs rapidly among the opposite team in the same vein as Inugami, but enemies take shitloads more damage. This makes her quite the popular shikigami among players.
• Spell My Name With An S: Her name is read "Ubume" according to her in-game profile, but her voice actress reads it as "Kokakuchō".

A sadistic and cruel oni who commits heinous acts against humans out of loneliness.

• Artistic License – Religion: The mythological yakṣa are, among many things, dharmapāla (gohōzenjin, protector of Buddhist doctrine) and serve the Northern Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa (Tamonten or Bishamonten in Japanese). This Yasha is none of these things and the Four Heavenly Kings do not exist in this game.
• Fiery Redhead: Has nice red tresses in his default appearance and skin.
• Friendless Background: Not only does he have no friends, he also doesn't have a family or a home, which he uses as a…
• Freudian Excuse to commit wanton acts of cruelty to humans.
• Horned Humanoid: Has a pair of horns on either side of his head.
• Making a Splash: His special attack creates whirlpools that can bounce from one opponent to the next.
• Mr. Fanservice: One of the most overtly sexy male shikigami with clothes that often leave little to the imagination, a powerful, badass voice and domineering, sadistic personality.
• Sadist: "Hahahaha, how wonderful, those panic-stricken faces!"
• Stripperific: His post-Awakening outfit has to be seen to be believed. Seriously, how hasn't that trouser… skirt… thing fallen off yet? Thankfully, he covers up in his skin.

Shut up.

A stoic and arrogant oni musician who excels at the guqin and isn't kind to anybody disturbing him when he's playing his music.

---

• Artificial Stupidity: Is one of the shikigami you should not play on auto; the reason most people would use him is for his second skill, turn-swapping, but if left to AI, he'll either pass his turn on to a teammate you wouldn't want to waste a free turn on, or use his third skill.
• Artistic License – Music: You normally don't cradle the instrument in one hand and play it with the other, but it's justified since he's fighting. He plays it properly when sitting down. This is corrected in the MOBA game where he makes it levitate and plays with both hands.
  • Apparently in his Awakened form he can still play his zither with wires wrapping around it.
• Badass Longcoat: In any of his skins, his take on Kimono Fanservice is always a furisode, making him as elegant as he is formidable on the battlefield
• Berserk Button: Do not interrupt his playing, and do not show signs that can be interpreted as not appreciating his music enough. He devotes all 3 of his recollections bitching at an animal for the latter reason.
• Creepy Monotone: Which gives him an eerie air to go with his cold personality. His voice grows somewhat even more creepy and more monotone in the MOBA game.
• Dub Name Change: He's known as Maestro in the English localization for some reason.
• Elegant Classical Musician: He is absolutely made of this trope.
• Haughty "Hmph": Lets out this noise far too often.
• Hime Cut: Out of all characters, his hair is the closest to the original Heian noblewoman hairstyle (no frontal bangs, shoulder-length even sidelocks), color and length aside. He decidedly has the personality to go with it.
• Horned Humanoid: Has a single horn on his forehead.
• Insufferable Genius: The haughty attitude he expresses in his in-game autobiography can make him look like this for a lot of people.
  Yōkinshi: Do you think you can understand my melodies at that level of knowledge?
• Jerkass: His constantly berating an insect, a non-sapient animal, in his autobiography should be enough.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Sports the Hime Cut for extra elegance and some Viewer Gender Confusion on the side.
• Magic Music: Aside from its obviously dealing damage, it can also cause his enemies to mistake friends for foes.
• Mr. Fanservice: Seems to be quickly heading towards this territory with a skin that shows off his legs (in the original game) and one that shows off his hips (in the MOBA game). Helps that he already is a Bishōnen to begin with.
• Musical Assassin: All his skills involve his playing music.
• Peacock Guy: His zither looks like a peacock feather and his clothes has peacock feather motifs. More so in his Awakened form where his hair is styled in a very… extravagant manner, like a peacock tail
• Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: Once Awakened, his third skill can cause enemies to automatically attack one another.
• The Stoic: According to his voice actor.
• Stone Wall: High in HP and speed (12646 and 120 respectively, both ranked S), low in everything else (all ranked B).
• White Hair, Black Heart: White-haired Jerkass, 'nuff said.

A masked Kitsune who seems like a cultured gentleman, but is really just a sick child-kidnapping pedophile.

---

• Antiquated Linguistics: He seems fond of archaic expressions, such as referring to July as fumizuki instead of shichigatsu (unlike Yuki-onna who uses the normal kugatsu for September).
• Combat Hand Fan: He shoots magic beams from it.
• Cultured Badass: Or maybe that's what he wants us to believe.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: His second in-game autobiography strongly suggests that he is describing a sexual encounter.
• Faux Affably Evil: He does a good enough job of pretending to be a nice and polite guy only to later reveal himself to be the one responsible for child kidnappings.
• Handsome Lech: He's a pervert, but a good-looking one at that.
• Large Ham: The flowery vocabulary he uses and the gratuitous dramatic emphases in his voice can cause quite a headache.
• Life Drain: Gains this skill once Awakened.
• Lightning Bruiser: High in attack, speed and critical hit rate (3055, 115 and 10% respectively, all ranked S), while HP and defense isn't to be taken lightly (10368 and 419 respectively, both ranked B). And let's not forget his Life Drain ability.
• Magic Missile Storm: He can fire at most 8 beams in succession from his fan.
• Malevolent Masked Men: He even lampshades this himself.
  Yōko: A masked man can't be trusted, can he?
• Ship Tease: His missiles become heart-shaped when shot at the kyonshī sister. Make of that what you will.
• White Hair, Black Heart
• Wicked Cultured: He is an educated young man and a twisted pedophile not unlike Humbert Humbert.
• Would Hit a Girl: Would prioritize hitting girls over anything, to be exact, in his Secret zone. He also gains bonus damage against female Shikigami to this end.

Former shikigami of Seimei, but is currently serving Kuro Seimei alongside Ōtengu.

---

• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Becomes one in her skin.
• Berserk Button: Do NOT interfere with Kuro Seimei's schemes. Basically, any one who defies him is guaranteed to receive her Tranquil Fury.
• Bodyguard Babes: Along with Hakuro and Yoto-hime towards Seimei. A beautiful Ice Queen Yokai who once served under him.
  • Currently, she is now one of Kuro Seimei's Bodyguard Babes along with Sanbi-no-Kitsune).
• Bodyguard Betrayal: She holds the distinct title of being the only Shikigami who betrayed Seimei (except, not really, since Dark Seimei is the same person as him just split in half). Had Seimei found her first, things could have been different.
• Bodyguard Crush: Heavily implied towards Kuro Seimei, her own current Master.
• The Corrupter: She tries to convince Dōjo to join the dark side. It doesn't work.
• Depower: SP Yuki-onna actually represents her past self. She lost a considerable portion of her original power due to experiencing spring for the first time, which effectively melted her from her original form, but she has no regrets. It is implied that it would be possible for her to recover her original power, but only if she forgot all the emotions she has developed since meeting Seimei, which continue to melt her both metaphorically and literally. After Menreiki modifies her soul to be able to bear it, she recovers to her SP form.
• Devoted to You: To Kuro Seimei. Very much like how Kagura is to Seimei.
• Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: In Onigiri's Chapter in Heian Tales, she developed a bond with Seimei and his shikigami, and actually almost blurted the fact out that they're "family" until she cut herself off at the last sentence. It was Zashiki who did the honor of finishing it for her.
• The Dragon: to Kuro Seimei along with Ōtengu.
• Emotionless Girl: Not only does she not display emotions, she also doesn't understand emotions at all.
  Yuki-onna: (in-game autobiography) Why do humans love melting feelings so much?
  • This is hilariously subverted in Onigiri's Chapter in Heian Tales where she is more of a Tsundere and leading to some awkward, funny moments.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: A villain with ice-related powers.
• Flechette Storm: Her special skill allows her to summon a rain of sharp icicles that also has a chance of turning enemies into frozen blocks.
• First Snow: Heralds her debut in the storyline. Don't be fooled though…
• Foil: Becoming increasingly obvious to Kagura. Their respective devotion to Seimei and Kuro Seimei parallels one another and they're both willing to kill whoever tries to hurt them. However, Yuki Onna is a shikigami / yokai while Kagura is a human. Their color motifs seems to reflect this as well, Yuki Onna's is blue while Kagura's is red.
• Harmless Freezing: She can temporarily freeze people without hurting them.
• Hime Cut: Sports this style in her second skin.
• An Ice Person: 'Cause she's Yuki-onna, duh.
• Lady of Black Magic: Has a cold grace about her and offensive ice skills.
• Literal Change of Heart: Her heart is made of ice. She was once ignorant of and indifferent to the world. Seimei decided to show her the outside world to put an end to the tragedies she was accidentally bringing about, causing her to develop feelings of affection and attachment. However, these feelings are melting her heart not only metaphorically, but literally, weakening her. It eventually reaches the point that it would kill her, so Dark Seimei is forced to make a deal with Menreiki to use her Soul Power to find a solution.
• Pet the Dog: She still isn't the heroes' friend, but she helps them out a couple of times after Kuro Seimei's defeat.
• Power Floats: Is always levitating.
• Status Effects: One of the only two able to Freeze enemies without the use of mitama, the other one being Yukidōji.
• Starter Mon: A 3-star Yuki-onna is a guaranteed summon when new players are being introduced to the Summoning feature.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: A rather funny one in Onigiri's Chapter in Heian tales. When she was saved by Seimei, she was mumbling out Kuro Seimei's name until she woke up. Kohaku called her out on this one and she denied it saying that she only did it because Seimei's figure looked exactly like Kuro Seimei. She later admits that Kuro Seimei was the only thing on her mind before she came to her senses.
• Ship Tease: To Kuro Seimei. Mostly due to his extreme loyalty towards him. It's becoming increasingly clear that her devotion goes beyond mere fanaticism. She's a former shikigami of Seimei but to her, Kuro Seimei is Seimei (which is half-true, really). And in Onikiri's Chapter in Heian Tales, she even admits that Kuro Seimei is the only thing she was thinking about even though she hasn't seen him in a long time. Which is not suspicious at all, actually.
• White Hair, Black Heart
• Yuki-onna: A villainous example with the traditional levitation abilities and ice powers.
• Tsundere: In Onikiri's Chapter in Heian Tales, she's basically this. As her journey with Seimei goes on, she began to develop a bond with him and his other shikigamis, not that she would admit that.
• Undying Loyalty: To Kuro Seimei. Again, very much like how Kagura is to Seimei.

A resident of Dream Land who eats nightmares, but has been corrupted by its insatiable hunger and nearly destroys the dream world looking for more nightmares to eat.

---

• Big Eater: How it becomes a hungry dream-destroying monster in the first place.
• Character Catchphrase: It says pupupu any time it casts its basic attack, which becomes annoying real fast.
• Dream Stealer: Eats bad dreams.
• Dream People: Happens to be good friends with Kochō-no-sei.
• Face–Monster Turn: Originally a good guy who rids the dream world of nightmares, but its hunger turns it into a ravaging creature that spawns all over the place and turns the dream world to ruins just to find more nightmares to feed on. It gets better in the end though.
• Forced Sleep: Its second active skill doesn't deal any damage, but can put any member of the opposite team to sleep. It does not work when the enemy team is protected by Seimei's Deflector Shield.
  • Its basic missile attack also has a chance of putting a foe to sleep.
• Killer Rabbit: Looks cute and all, but watch out.
• Self-Duplication: Multiplies in number as it devours more nightmares; however, once the original is defeated, so are the clones.
• Strange-Syntax Speaker: In the Japanese version, all of its speech in its monstrous form is rendered as kanji and katakana text.
• Talking Animal: The only non-humanoid SR not to receive a humanoid form.
