True Beauty

With makeup, Jugyeong is considered very pretty. She has large light brown eyes and long hair. She also has thin, straight eyebrows. While putting on her makeup, the process includes the use of double eyelid glue, brown-toned lenses, an eyelash curler, and mascara for her eyes. For the rest of her face, she uses a brown eyebrow pencil, BB cream/foundation (applied with a BB-cushion), brown eye shadow, brown eyeliner, peach-colored blush, and glossy coral lip-tint. Unless there is a special occasion, Jugyeong does a very natural makeup look that usually deceives others into believing that is her real face.

Coming from a good-looking family, Jugyeong is very self-conscious about her looks. In middle school, she was ostracized and bullied for not conforming to the norm's beauty standard. Once she transformed her appearance with makeup and was embraced in high school as the "pretty girl," she became very insecure about her real face. Because her life improved due to her looks, Jugyeong is very worried about other people discovering her bare face. Unless she is alone or with family, she never leaves home without makeup on.
At school, she maintained her "pretty girl" image by faking her personality, such as lying about her music preferences and eating small portions during lunch. At home, she shed her image and reverted to her "geeky" self, spending her time reading comics, listening to alternative rock music, and eating fatty foods like fried chicken.
Overall, she is very kind and generous to others. Because of her warm nature, her friends enjoy her company, despite her naivete. As a very sheltered person, Jugyeong is very gullible and easily influenced by others. Because of her past, Jugyeong believes that romance is only possible for her if her partner is unaware of her true face. She is a little superficial, believing that beauty is correlated to having a good personality. However, she does not discriminate against those who are deemed "less beautiful;" she looks past their imperfections and sees their inner beauty.

He is fair-skinned and considered goth and very handsome, often misleading people to assume he is an idol. He is known to have full, supple lips (complimented by both Seyeon, and Jugyeong).
Seojun often wears makeup, mainly lip tint and BB cream to enhance his features and appear more presentable. He frequently wears fashionable clothing and numerous accessories.

In the drama, he has the same appearance but the only difference is his hair, where his bangs are swept across his forehead to the left side.

Although rude to people he dislikes and that he is goth, Seojun is very caring, protective, and kind to his friends and family. He tends to have difficulty expressing his emotions, especially during difficult times. He acts tough in front of others, but is shown to be sensitive and easily flustered. Coming from a poor family, Seojun's biggest insecurity is his financial stability. He eyes those with money, such as Suho, with envy, and wishes he has enough money to do what he wants. He is not diligent in academics, and perceives college as an option rather than a requirement for his future.
He is very sociable, though condescending at times, and is very good at maintaining contact with his friends through social media. He has many friends of both genders, but shows no attraction or interest in anyone other than Jugyeong. Regardless, Jugyeong gets jealous and upset of all his attractive idol female friends he met back when he was an idol trainee.
He has great passion for music and loves singing at coin karaokes during his free time. His voice is described as a Korean Sam Smith, Frank Ocean and Park Hyoshin. [1] Though musically talented, Seojun decided to hide his singing and piano skills after Seyeon's suicide. As an amateur model, he is very aware of his good looks and is often photographed on the streets for his visuals. He is not a very good drinker, known to be a one-shot wonder.
However, in the drama, he drives a motorcycle, he plays the guitar and he also shows his love for his mother, where he becomes an idol star to help pay the hospital bills due to his mom being a transplant patient. He even has a squad of friends in his school. A notable member of Seojun's squad was Kim Chorong.
Although in the drama, Han Seo Jun had somehow a crush on Jugyeong but then accepts the fact that Suho was meant for Jugyeong. So to show support for the two, he would do what a true best friend would do. An example was when Suho left for America in Episode 14, he was there to comfort Jugyeong for the challenges of long distance relationship. He also stood up for Jugyeong when Jugyeong was bullied, like for example, In episodes 12-13, when the video of Jugyeong bullied at Yongpa was uploaded on the Saebom Online Community, he first confronted Semi Park because he thought she posted it on her school community, but then worked things out to find out who posted it and he eventually found out about Kang Sujin posting the video of Jugyeong at her old school, making him confront Sujin. Also, he respected Suho and Jugyeong's relationship and then kept it as a secret out of loyalty. He even created a distraction to save Suho and Jugyeong from being caught by their classmates. Another way that he respected Suho and Jugyeong's relationship was in Episode 14 that he almost kissed Jugyeong but then he refrained himself from doing so. He also supported Jugyeong's goals.


True Beauty

Seyeon had a slim face, brown hair, and brown eyes. He was considered a pretty boy, with smooth, even features. He was noticeably shorter than Seojun and Suho. He was considered very handsome.

True Beauty

Sua has dark eyes and black hair worn in a bob haircut with a fringe all throughout. She does not find herself as attractive as Jugyeong (with makeup), although in reality Jugyeong knows that Sua is much prettier, though she is "cute" rather than "beautiful."

Sua is an extrovert. She's a very outgoing, friendly, and rather preppy girl. She is bold and daring with her words, for example: shamelessly talking about boy Idol groups she is fond of with Jugyeong, and showing no concern publicly dissing Sujin. She is however very supportive and generous to Jugyeong, always having her back when in need. For example, ensuring she arrives home safely when out drinking, or when visiting a beauty academy together to help explore her career options. She's faithful all throughout, examples include when Jugyeong asked her to distract Suho , or alerting her Sujin Kang posted an unattractive picture of her. She comforted Jugyeong when she was faced with trouble and arguments with her mother. She has Jugyeong's best interest at heart, and thinks that Suho and Seojun are right for her.


True Beauty

Suho is described as "tall and foreign-looking," with dark, ash brown hair and light hazel eyes. Though considered very handsome by many, Suho often carries a stoic or cold expression on his face. He has a light, warm-toned complexion. Unlike Seojun, he does not bother styling his hair or dressing up other than on occasions. His clothes are all from high-end brands, as his father is a wealthy, famous actor.

In middle school, Suho was supposedly friendly despite being bullied by his classmates for being a foreigner. After Seyeon's suicide, Suho became cold and expressionless, isolating himself from others and refusing to form new friendships. When approached by others, especially women, Suho gives blunt, curt responses. He only speaks when necessary, and does not consider other people's feelings when interacting with them. After meeting Jugyeong and developing a crush on her, Suho shows a softer, more endearing side. He became generous and giving, initiating conversation with her and smiling more often. Perhaps due to years of isolating himself from others, Suho's social skills are mediocre at best. He envies Seojun's ability to comfortably socialize with people, especially Jugyeong.
Suho is very studious in academics, unlike Jugyeong and Seojun, and spends most of his free time studying. He is fluent in both Korean and Japanese, having lived in both Korea and Japan. He always achieved top marks at school and often tutored Jugyeong. Suho is also an excellent cook, specializing in Japanese cuisine, and occasionally makes food for his friends and sister.
After his estrangement from his father and Seyeon Yoon's suicide, Suho appears to suffer from depression and regularly visits a psychologist for treatment.

She often wears tight-fitting, revealing clothes to show her slim body and voluptuous curves. Her attire is usually from high-end brands. She has long black hair, tall stature, and an identifying mole under her left eye. Sujin has later cut most of her hair.

Sujin has a personality that is very difficult to like. The fact that she came from a problematic family, among other reasons, causes her to take out her frustration on those around her. She maintains a nice girl image in public and uses her beauty to manipulate others. When she discovered that Jugyeong and Suho became acquainted, Sujin quickly befriended Jugyeong to learn information both about her and her association with Suho. Viewing Jugyeong as her love rival, Sujin attempts to sabotage her both socially and romantically.
Though she has a bad attitude, Sujin is vulnerable and insecure about her past. She never opens up about her family life, and was horror-struck when she encountered her ex-friends. She is constantly fishing for compliments and assurances to reaffirm her beauty. After Junho (Sujin's abusive boyfriend) is arrested, she is a whole new person with a much more kind-hearted personality.
However, in the drama, Sujin was an energetic and nice friend to Jugyeong and Sua , and would use her bad girl attitude to protect herself or her friends from danger. She is childhood friends with Suho and has a crush on him. However, when she learned about Jugyeong and Suho dating and engaging them on a relationship, she betrayed Jugyeong by spreading the video of her being bullied at Yongpa high school. Seojun confronts her when he found out about her betrayal. Moreoever, at some point offscreen, her parents divorced so she dropped out of school, and served as a global volunteer. In the drama finale, realizing her mistakes, she witnessed Jugyeong being bullied by Chae-ni 's manager and attempts to knock the bully, saving Jugyeong before deciding to apologize to Jugyeong for what she did. Sujin realized that things don't go the way that she wants so she was forgiven and they were friends again. Right there, Jugyeong has realized the pain that Sujin went through.

When under disguise he usually sports a standard school uniform, but his real attire consists of blue robes.

Before revealing their true names, his sister Hifumi requested to the master of the house that he treat the three of them as a set of siblings and as people which he accepted. While a pair of scissors is not a real weapon, Akito proved to be a prodigy warrior and was entrusted by his owner to act as a reliable bodyguard, defeating bandits or even exterminating aberrations that might pop up. His sister, the die tsugumomo Hifumi, was the most valued of the three by their master due to her ability to manipulate fate and luck, but over time their owner became enchanted by her amazing power and was overcome by greed, leading other people towards bankrupt and disease for his own benefit. Exploiting and abusing her power, Hifumi's power and health steadily deterioriated tremendously. When Akito are Arumi found out about their master's abuse, they informed the local villagers the truth about their master's fortune and, people filled with rage who lost their families and belongings, amassed a large crowd to attack his residence. Without Akito and Arumi around, their owner was swiftly beaten to death, but their hate extended towards his tsukumogami as well, and before they could notice, Hifumi had been targeted and killed by the villagers as well. Naturally, they attempted to kill Akito and Arumi as well, but the similarly grieving and enraged siblings showed no mercy, and slaughtered the horde.

Following the incident, the two left the village and begun searching for an owner, since tsugumomo need to receive spirit power from their owner in order to survive. However, the two only found themselves in similar situations and escaping every time. After abandoning their 14th owner, the two came across the red bowl of Mayoiga that granted entrance to the pocket-dimension. Once inside they were greeted by the flaming arrows of Mayoiga's gatekeeper Yasuki Yatsukawa . Arumi was able use her powers to predict his shots, helping Akito avoid his attacks, but their fight was interrupted by Mimane Miyou , who excitedly and curiously approached the newcomers. After this, they were introduced to Tanmen and the other members of Mayoiga. Tanmen apologized on Yasuki's behalf and briefly explained to them about Mayoiga. While not all the secrets of Mayoiga were revealed to them immediately, the two started living in the paradise, where they were able to experience the joy of living on their own without the oppression of owners to the point of calling Mayoiga their second birthplace.

After a couple of years, Tanmen revealed to them the truth about Mayoiga's creation. He told them how 1000 years the house tsugumomo Miurahi gathered a group of tsukumogami to murder a God of the Land and steal her Stone Shard , implanting the shard onto himself and manifesting the dimension of Mayoiga were tsugumomo would be able to live without receiving spirit power from a human. However, he also revealed to them the secret operation they've been preparing. After 1000 years active, the stone shard that allows Mayoiga to exist has lost the majority of its power, so for the tsugumomo paradise to continue existing, they must find a weakened God of the Land and take his life in order to obtain a new shard. While initially conflicted over the idea of making the gods their enemies, motivated by the idea of not wanting to lose anyone close to him again, Akito agreed to take part in the operation. In order to find a sufficiently weakened God of the Land, Arumi used her predicting ability once a month searching for "the future they desire". However, almost 30 years passed without any result until she saw a black mass on the mountains. Thinking it could be a clue, a squad consisting of Akito, Arumi, Mimane, Chikage, Yasuki and Shinsou ventured into the mountains to investigate. The mass turned out to be a hostile black obi tsukumogami, and attacked them on sight, but the group was able to capture her after a combined effort using Mimane's powers. The obi was taken back to Mayoiga and sealed in the basement for a couple of years until it recovered. She revealed herself as Azami but gave little more information of herself, however, she had the information Mayoiga was desperately needing, about the weakest god of the land. Following her instructions, Akito, Yasuki, Mimane and Arumi infiltrated in Kamioka and proceeded to form aberrations through manipulating from the shadows.

In their human form, both Azamis have almost the same appearance of a very young girl with a long straight purple hair. They have a rounded face and constantly sport a menacing expression, with shadows below each of their eyes. They're surrounded by a dark and intimidating aura, furtherly increasing their intimidating looks. Unlike Kiriha , Azami's appearance has never suffered any change regardless of her circumstances. The only major difference between both Azamis is in their attire. The Azami that is outside of Kamioka wears a black kimono with an obi, and is always seen carrying a spherical shaped object that is covered under her layers of obi. The Azami that lives inside Kamioka wears a standard school uniform.

Both Azamis share the same personality and thought process, allowing them to remain communicated even while separated by large distances. A very silent and gloomy girl covered by a sinister aura around her, Azami is not very sociable and strikes deep fear into the hearts associates. While she assisted Mayoiga , she cared little about their cause and only did so due to personal convenience. She has no tolerance for those that betray her expectations, and was not above attempting to kill her allied Tsugumomos if they failed to keep their promises. She's not very expressive, and keeps her distance with the members of Mayoiga, usually only talking to them to provide needed advice or give them instructions and reserving her words only for when it's absolutely necessary. The only one from Mayoiga she seems to have a bit of a soft spot for is Mimane , who even managed to convince her to wash her during a bath together.
Despite her disturbing exterior, Azami has a strong crush for Kazuya Kagami , which carried over since the time of her creation. Her half in Kamioka regularly observes him from afar and watches over him, even going as far as secretly attacking those that harass him. She makes an effort to remain in the shadows and avoiding direct contact with him though. While her current status makes her an enemy of his, she still shows signs of deeply caring for him, boiling with rage at the slightest sign that her allies from Mayoiga could harm him and threatening with killing them if they do.

He has several scars and cracks across his body, including a large "X" shaped scar on his chest and a vertical scar on his left eye. His left hand is missing, leaving a jagged stone stump. He has a large marking on his forehead. His clothes consist of a loincloth and giant rope around his ankles and right wrist. [1]

Shirane Shirahabane states his left hand was rumored to have been cut off by a lone girl a few years prior. [1] This rumor is true, with both his severed left hand and the scar on his face being caused by a girl who Kamuado later named Taunade . Kamuado rescued the girl from Chigaeshi before he could crush her and the two escaped into the Plains of Yomi. [2]

When serious, she is quick to anger, being the first to charge towards Kanaka Kagami after Azami had killed Miruahi, and instantly lashing out the moment Ouhi Oriobana takes out a Puppet Binding .

When her gender swapped, Chisato face looks the same but her hair becomes short.

Chisato has a studious, prudent, and overall caring personality. However, she will resort to violence when facing extremely unpleasant situations (mostly perverted). When it comes to Kazuya, Chisato is shown to always be harsh, if not sometimes violent, towards him but only because she cares for him.
She is also shown to be simple and rather modest, such as how she created an Amasogi that was born from a simple desire to come over to Kazuya's house to study with him, and was satisfied when Kazuya invited her, dispelling her Amasogi.

[1] She is known to use deception, falsely promising Tilt a cure for her sister's illness in exchange for work. [2] Dabada's slave operations though cruel in and of themselves, are but a front for a more sinister operation, aquiring sacrifices for her master's plan.

Hifumi was a gentle and considerate girl that was very concerned by the well-being of her peers.

Despite being considered far more than her brother and sister, she was quite humble, greatly appreciating everyone for what they could do.
She was deeply concerned by their safety, and heavily disliked the way she was ruining the lives of others under her masters's orders, confronting him on multiple occassions with little success.

Tsugumomo

Hiyori is a young adult woman with a short curly hair. Her outfit consists of the standard uniform of exorcists consisting of black trousers with a white shitagi , and she carries her tsugumomo katana with her at all times.

An exorcist as confident as experience, Hiyori is a high-class exorcist that displays an air of assurance and maturity. During the time when Kanaka had just arrived at the Tsuzura Temple, Hiyori had an intense dislike for her due to her status as an outsider and being frequently supported by the head priest Ouna Oriobana . Back then, she was both jealous and arrogant, regularly bullying her along with her friends. After the conflict with the Kazenbou and Kanaka's substantial change in personality following the event, Hiyori came to respect and befriend Kanaka, to the point that she still reminisces about her even to this day. She was one of the targets of Kanaka's "skinship", claiming that she can't even tell how many times she has her way with her. While she has changed and matured a lot over the years from her previously childish attitude, Hiyori's personality has always been fierce and that of a natural leader with high initiative.
She is part of the Partnership Faction faction of the Tsuzura Temple that views Tsugumomo as partners, meaning that she believes that exorcists and tsukumogami should be treated as equals. While her relationship with her own partner has not been shown, the fact that she supports the idea of tsugumomo being treated with respect and that she's had him for a long time now suggest that the two are close and with a great respect for the other. She is seemingly good friends with Suzuri Sumeragi , as the two have been part of the same team of Exorcists since their days as recruits and are still often seen together at present.


Tsugumomo

As a God, Honoka boasts a never-aging body and is, presumably, much older than she looks. She has the appearance of a young tomboyish woman with blonde hair tied with a red bandana, and she has very sharp eyes that give her a somewhat rough expression. Her attire consists of a black haori with a red tunic on top.

Honoka is a quite tomboyish and masculine woman, lacking in any feminine traits. She possesses a rather laid back and easy-going personality, exuding a great amount of confidence with a decisive and assured attitude. She speaks in a casual and informal tone, treating those in a lower position than her with respect and encouraging them to express their opinions if they wish to. She has common sense, often calling out others for their poor decision making and disliking bold acts made with little thought involved. She is cautious and her words showcase her sensibleness, capable of making calm judgements even on serious situations. However, she is also somewhat absent minded and inattentive to things she is not focused on, going as far as not noticing her own temple being on fire until it was pointed out by Sunao. She is, quite surprisingly, a very merciful deity, as she was still willing to spare the fugitive members of Mayoiga after they were about to initiate a large-scale attack on Kamioka if they were willing to turn away, and even saved them and granted them a possibility of survival after the conflict was over.
She has a relationship of mutual respect with Kukuri and the two have known each other for quite some time, though they only meet through spirit clones. They both have their pride as Gods of the Land, and showed a competitive side during the duel between Sunao and Kazuya. Despite being seemingly harsh on the outside, she is very concerned by the decisions and actions of her Exorcist, expressing sorrow over Suou's death and wanting to respect his ideals, and serving as a mentor figure to Sunao.

Kamuado's armor

Kamuado asked the girl for her name but she did not respond. She warned her that those with weak sense of self within Yomi are the first vanish and to return to the One Who is All. Still unresponsive, Kamuado decided to name her Taunade and then asked her if she has any strong desires. Taunade told her she wished to have an exciting fight. [1]


Tsugumomo

Kanaka has long curly black hair with light skin. She is muscular and has large breasts. She's been described as an otherworldly beauty and was extremely popular in high school, though not as popular as Kiriha according to the tsukumogami herself. Kanaka has a large circular scar in the center of her chest above her breasts, from when she became possessed and was defeated by Kiriha.
As an adult, she is usually depicted wearing a blouse and jeans.

When she was a child, Kanaka was emotionless and lacked any determination to live. She retained an expressionless and blank face that never left her even when experiencing the deaths of her parents and younger sister. While she seemingly loved her family, as she refused to die at the hands of the Kazenbou due to believing that her family would be sad about her death; she was incapable of developing any feelings of anger or sadness to their deaths. Kanaka described herself at the time as someone "heartless" and that couldn't feel any emotion like pity or anger and decided to become an exorcist solely because she wished to see if she would be able to feel something if she avenged her family. During her initial time on Tsuzura Temple , she remained largely indifferent to the bullying she was subjected to by her fellow cadets, as well as showing no ambition or resolve in her training as an exorcist.

Kanaka remained this way until she took the exorcist test, where she was able to experience her first true life-threatening battle, where her previously blank expression was replaced by a bright and vivid smile, and her personality shifted towards a more cheerful and adventurous one. The new Kanaka became more an optimistic and social person, forming stretch bonds with her companions and starting to express emotions as any normal human being would. Her disposition is still composed, serene and easy-going, never troubled by anything or driven by anger. She's incredibly unabashed and quite perverted. She has a habit of expressing her idea of "skinship" in order to "strengthen bonds", which involved nakedly caressing each other's bodies in a sexual manner. She developed this habit after gaining emotions and does not attempt to hide it from others, and she doesn't discriminate when it comes to her targets for "skinship", including teammates like Hiyori Higashina and Sumire Suzutani , her own tsugumomo partner Kiriha and even Gods like Kukuri . Her frequent philandering even led her close friends to assume that she was a lesbian and expressed shock upon seeing her going out with Kazuaki Kagami , concluding that she "swings both ways". Surprisingly, Kanaka comes off as shockingly naive, being unable to notice even the most obvious signs of romantic interest, and Kiriha claimed that she had to protect her from unpleasant people that would approach her (though it seems this was mostly due to Kiriha's own possessive stance). She's a straightforward person and tends to fight very recklessly with little concern over her own safety.

Ever since her first battle, Kanaka developed an insatiable and a boundless desire for battles, growing to become an absurdly reckless battle-maniac that would find the greatest thrill and pleasure from fighting powerful opponents. However, her lust for challenging battles grew so large that she would become easily depressed when she found herself out of worthy opponents and showing subtle signs of slowly returning to her previously emotionless conduct. Due to her rapid development and immense talent, Kanaka is constantly searching for continuously stronger opponents that can represent a threat to her and became eager with finding someone that would be able to stand toe-to-toe with her. Despite this, Kanaka has a deep love for those close to her, asking Kiriha to care for Kazuya if anything were to happen to her and opting for death upon being possessed by an amasogi in order to avoid hurting her loved ones.


Tsugumomo

Kasumi is a young woman with a long straight black hair. Beyond their different hair, she closely resembles her mother on her younger days, both in facial traits and in physique. Her attire is typically casual and simple.

Kasumi's only two years older than her brother, but she is mature and very independent, taking care of most of the house's affairs on her own, and comes off as a very reliable person despite her age. She is notorious for her "brother complex", and is suggested on more than ocassion that she has a romantic obsession for her younger brother Kazuya. She's constantly attending to any necessities he may have on the daily life, like cooking for him or waking him up on the mornings for school, coming off as closer to a mother than a sister. She's constantly watching over him and making sure that he doesn't go through any misfortunes, but she's also extremely obsessed with him and doesn't want to be separated from him. She's also shamelessly open about her incestuous obsession, often trying to get more intimate with him or pushing him to bath together, and she's been described by Kiriha as a "brother-holic". She's been like this since they were little, and she used to sleep and bath with him until he got old enough to refuse his sister's company, which greatly distressed Kasumi as she felt that he was entering in a "rebellious phase". She's quite a pervert, as even from a young age, she was "teaching" an innocent Kazuya about matters related to sexuality that were inappropriate for a boy of his age.
She does not get along well with Kiriha, as she dislikes her self-centered nature and often tries to make her do some housework. Fortunately for her, she's much better than her relatives at dealing with the Tsugumomo, and is the only one on the house that can keep her under control. She's diligent and works hard to cultivate an image as a dependable figure, so she does not mind the work it takes. She's very protective as well, quickly rushing to her brother's room whenever she hears a suspicious noise, especially if she believes Kazuya could be in danger. She was originally against the idea of accepting Kukuri and Kokuyou on their house, but she ended up being way more fond of Kukuri than she is of Kiriha.


Tsugumomo

Kazuya appears as a young boy with short brown hair, brown eyes and light skin. Though initially very plain, Kazuya's body has become more muscular and defined after retraining.
Kazuya's usual attire is his school uniform, consisting of a white button shirt with a chest pocket, pants and belt and loafer shoes. Outside of school, he usually wears t-shits of various designs, striped shorts and running shoes.

When gender-swapped in the Dream World he goes by the name Kazumi Kagami (加賀見 かずみ, Kagami Kazumi ) with her sister referring to her as Micchan (みつちやん, Micchan ). As Kazumi she retains most of the same features as her original self. She has slightly longer hair and small breasts. She wears the female version of their school uniform.

Kazuya is a seemingly average teenage boy without many noticeable traits that stand out from him at first glance, coming off as a pretty normal and unremarkable individual. He is shown to be kindhearted and mostly friendly with people, but he's not as predisposed to deal with matters or people that annoy him, with Kiriha herself being a good example of this, as he mostly found her to be a nuisance upon first meeting due to the tsukumogami forcefully making him her servant. However, he does have a deep sense of responsibility and guilt, doing everything in his power to help others when he believes it is his responsibility or his fault. In particular, he often mourns over his status as a Taboo Child, feeling responsible for the amasogi that are born around him and feeling greatly distressed upon seeing someone suffer from a severe Curse Backlash . He's quite brave, often stepping up and selflessly throwing himself into the fray to accomplish his mission as Kamioka's exorcist, as well as frequently prioritizing the safety of the host's and the others above everything else. Also, even though he was initially mostly annoyed by Kiriha's abusive behavior, he came to truly appreciate her immensely, seeing her as someone very dear to him and a very important partner. Because of this, Kazuya developed a great respect towards tsugumomo , thinking of them as partners who should be treated as equals, and strongly dislikes anyone that mistreats them or sees them as mere tools.
Surprisingly, Kazuya is actually quite perverted and lustful, as it would be expected from a teenager of his age. However, he's almost constantly making a strong effort to supress his desires and don't act on his lust, which he's usually quite successful of pulling off to the point of earning the admiration of his peers. His endurance is nearly inhuman, as he's subjected (and tempted) on a daily basis by his partner tsugumomo to all kinds of perverted situations, as well as being frequently lured by other females of his entourage like Kokuyou and Sunao Sumeragi . His self-control is so large it borders with being unhealthy, with even Kanaka Kagami encouraging him to have sex with Kiriha in order to satiate his reppressed thoughts. As tempted as he is, Kazuya chooses not to do it, claiming that he truly enjoys the way things are, and if he were to enter into a sexual relationship with someone like Kiriha, the dynamic of their relationship would abruptly change, preferring to hold back his desires instead. Despite this, Kazuya is often oblivious of any romantic feelings other girls might feel towards him, mostly when they're not open about it like Chisato Chikaishi or Sunao Sumeragi. While he's usually not the dense type, he comes off as quite ingenuous with such girls that opt for a more indirect approach in their social behavior.
Over the series, Kazuya comes to hold a very strong sentimental value for those he met upon becoming an exorcist, like Kukuri, Kokuyou and Kiriha. He becomes exceedingly concerned for their well-being to the point of being thrown into a great rage if he feels they are endangered. When Mayoiga attempted to assassinate Kukuri, Kazuya's anger during his fight against Kyouka was such that he forced Kiriha to activate Ascension against her will and almost murdered the opposing tsukumogami in cold-blood, stopping just short at the last second thanks to Kiriha's influence.
Following his re-encounter with his mother Kanaka Kagami during the Mayoiga Revolt, as well as the restoration of his blocked memories, Kazuya has suffered major changes in his personality as a consequence of tragically losing both Kiriha and Kukuri during the incident. While initially he was briefly thrown into despair and these traumatic events continue to hunt him to this day, motivated over refusing to accept such events from repeating, Kazuya found determination and has vowed to destroy the amasogi he created by defeating his mother. Following this newfound motivation, Kazuya changed into a far more proactive and determined person. He maintains a serene and noble disposition, but doesn't allow anyone to step on his beliefs and will fearlessly confront anyone who behaves in a way he disaproves. He carried Kiriha's destroyed remains alongside him at all times, and his usually calm expression was quickly replaced by a serious and rage-driven one if anyone other than him were touched them without his permission. Even after these events, Kazuya above all still remains an all-around kind and benevolent person, with more cynical individuals like Kyouka still finding him soft-hearted, but he does not hesitate to do what he must in order to accomplish the objective he has set his eyes on.


Tsugumomo

Kikka is a young girl with a dark hair and a bob haircut. She wears glasses with rectangular frames and is usually seen in her exorcist uniform.

Kikka is a fujoshi, possessing interest in homoerotic male relationships. [1] She is very studious, with Saki referring to her as the "Hard Studying Exorcist". This is reflected in Kikka's high intellect, being able to correctly analyze and deduce the actions of combatants during the Nine Master Tournament despite not being a capable fighter herself.


Tsugumomo

In her human form, Kiriha appears as a young girl with long light blue hair. She has light skin, red eyes, and pointed ears. She retains the same scent of Sakura that was always present on her as an obi as well.
Kiriha's normal attire consists of a flower-patterned kimono with an obi, tabi with sandals, and two pairs of red orbs used to tide sides of her hair, though she sometimes ties it back in a large pony-tail instead. After her revival, Kiriha's red orbs have been replaced by red wraps. When at home, she usually sports casual clothing consisting of either school clothes or an under-kimono, sometimes only a shirt and panties or shorts at most.
Depending on her owner and the amount of power she posses, her appearance ranges from resembling a small child to a young adult. When under the ownership of her first owner, Kanaka Kagami , she maintained the form of a young woman. When under the ownership of Kazuya Kagami , she took on a younger form of a girl of similar age, and then of a younger age after exhausting her power in a duel.
When gender-swapped, as Kirio he retains most of the same features of when female. Kirio is taller than his original self and thin. He is usually seen with his hair untied, but uses a band to tie it into a ponytail when he does. Kirio appears slightly more masculine than Kiriha, sporting a more angular jaw.

Kiriha's appearance in the manga Kiriha's appearance as Kirio Kiriha's chibi design

Kiriha is a straightforward and eccentric Tsukumogami with a very unusual personality. She's boastful and self-centered, mostly impulsively acting based on how she feels like with little concern over the consequences. Kiriha is bossy and likes to be the one in charge of making decisions, disliking following orders from others. She prefers to have others take care of all her necessities and desires, having them fulfill all her requests even forcefully if she has to. As a result, she comes off as slightly violent and has little patience when things do not go her way. She is easy-going, carefree, and abrasive, displaying full confidence in herself and presenting herself with a determined expression. On the other hand, she is also quite lazy and self-indulgent, disliking having to work on anything from the daily life aside from her duty erasing aberrations , making her somewhat selfish and unconcerned person. She spends most of her free time leisurely, either dozing off or doing other inactive activities like watching TV. She is also very fond of video games, with RPGs, in particular, being one of her favorite genres, and she is quite skilled at them, often spending large periods of time playing such games. However, Kiriha is shown to be bad at fighting games, prompting Kazuya to let her win at them to boost her confidence. Above all things, Kiriha loves sweets and desserts, with pudding, in particular, being her favorite of all. She's extremely fond of pudding, eating several cups a day, and it is the only thing for which she's willing to obey orders for. Despite the fact that she is a mostly selfish individual in the daily life, Kiriha is extremely loyal and is perfectly willing to trade her own life for the sake of those she cares the most about.
Another one of Kiriha's most notorious personality traits is her completely unabashed and shameless disposition. She's perfectly willing to openly talk about sexual subjects or personal intimacies without any restraint and even with people she barely knows. Being seen naked by Kazuya or even exposing her genitals are no source of embarrassment for her, behaving in such situations in a completely natural and unaltered manner. Despite her outrageous behavior with Kazuya, Kiriha actually dislikes being observed in skimpy outfits or indecent situations by other people, claiming that "it's different than when it is Kazuya". Due to her lack of shame, she enjoys teasing and fooling around with those of a more prudish nature, with Kazuya himself and Kukuri being her most common victims. Ironically, Kiriha becomes a lot more submissive and passive with those that have a more aggressive and assertive temperament, like Kanaka Kagami . She takes her responsibility with aberrations very seriously, dropping her unconcerned behaviors and becoming more serious and focused on the mission. Furthermore, she does everything in her power to deal with an Amasogi without destroying it in order to avoid Curse Backlash for the host. This shows that she's still an overall compassionate tsugumomo. On the battlefield, she proves to be a reliable ally, protecting those that are innocent and being decisive enough to make risky decisions when the situation demands. As a tsugumomo she fights alongside her owner, providing advice and support to her user even in the heat of the moment, and insists on making victory the primal objective without being concerned over her own safety. However, Kiriha heavily dislikes the idea of being used as a tool rather than as a partner. This is why she hates to be forcefully ordered with her true name. She even taking such action as offensive and insulting as she believes that an owner that treats his tsugumomo as a tool can replace it or throw it away anytime without concern.

Due to her status as a God of the Land, Kukuri doesn't age, regardless of how much time passes. Instead, her appearance is tied to the amount of power she possesses, boasting a youthful but adult aspect when at full strength but rejuvenating when her power decreases. Some traits are consistently carried over, such as her green hair and blue eyes. She always sports the same attire consisting of an orange haori, a kimono jacket, and a pair of black hakama, divided trousers that extend all the way to the ankles. As well as a white bandana. Because of certain circumstances and, after her test to appoint Kazuya as the new Exorcist of Kamioka ; Kukuri suffered a drastic change in looks that resemble that of a very young girl. In her daily life when not attending her duties as the Local God, she's also seen wearing all different kinds of casual clothing typical of girls of her physiological age.

Kukuri in her child form (Manga)

Kukuri is an affable and cordial individual that keeps an amiable disposition towards those around her. Despite her status and position, she's always broke as she lives entirely on donations from the local population and barely receives any offerings for living, resulting in her living an extremely humble life with barely any comforts. For a long time, she and her assistant Kokuyou lived in very poor conditions. After the destruction of their temple, during the appointment of Kazuya as Kamioka's Exorcist, they found themselves homeless and having to spend what little money they had for its repairs, even having Kokuyou work on part-time jobs in order to get money, forcing them to live an even more vagrant life by eating grass and living on a children's park. While she puts up with it, she's always frustrated and distressed by their lack of money. However, Kukuri herself is a very humble individual that treats everyone with respect regardless of their position, inherently lowering herself to living a life akin to that of average human beings.
She's diligent, regularly overextending herself in order to purify her region from Curse , while also attending to more mundane tasks like washing the dishes or helping with the cooking at Kazuya's house without being asked to collaborate. In spite of her simplistic lifestyle, she still has her pride as the God of the Land and would often remark her status as a deity, but she struggles to be seen as an imposing and mighty figure regardless of her efforts and is often ridiculed by those with more assertive personalities like Kiriha . She is quite scatterbrained, clumsy, and works hard to be taken seriously, but generally comes off as just pitiful by those around her. She's surprisingly childish and cheerful, with her behavior often resembling that of a real kid in both appearance and conduct. She's also very prudish and somewhat innocent, heavily contrasting with the indecent Kiriha who regularly exposes her in all sorts of embarrassing situations, where she tends to easily lose her cool and panic.
Despite her demeanor making her come off as pitiable and miserable, at moments of crisis, she proves to be a very reliable ally and she's still highly regarded and respected by allies in such situations, who have complete faith in her knowledge and abilities. She cares deeply about Kazuya, who she grows to love very much throughout the series. Their relationship appears to be closer to that of an elder brother and sister, but there's shown strong implications of being romantically interested in him on more than one occasion. Naturally, she's willing to do anything within her power in order to protect him, even going as far as placing a barrier throughout Kamioka in order to prevent Azami 's entrance, which severely weakened her in the process and left her vulnerable. She also greatly values her subordinate Kokuyou and will be thrown into a binding rage if she was hurt. She has a rocky relationship with Kiriha, as their personalities directly contrast with the other and they're constantly competing with the other. Kiriha finds great amusement in making fun of her prudish nature, which greatly irritates Kukuri.


Tsugumomo

Kyouka is a common transverse flute of purple color with yellow adornments on the extremes. When taking a humanoid form she turns into a young slightly-petite girl with short wavy purple hair. She wears a short robe that extends slightly past her waist like a short skirt, combined with thigh high socks and a large cap. She also has a notably small elliptical-shaped eyebrows.

Kyouka is a rude, straightforward and harsh Tsugumomo that makes no attempts of hiding her opinions. She is ill-mannered and quite abusive, openly mocking her enemies for their flaws and having little tolerance for her allies' mistakes. Her manner of speaking is usually condescending and dismissive of other people, and it is very hard to make her change her mind once she gets a fixated stance. She is quite easily irritable and short-tempered, especially with those she dislikes. She is sometimes a bit impulsive and gets carried away by the heat of the moment without thinking things through, which often brings her less than positive consequences. When the situation proves to be largely hopeless, Kyouka shows a more coward side and quickly panics at the sight of imminent danger, even going as far as urinating herself at the sight of what appears to be a deadly attack.

Despite all this, Kyouka is one of the most devoted members of Mayoiga and exudes a great amount of concern for the well-being of her fellow Tsugumomo, doing anything necessary in order to rescue them and being enraged when they were hurt. She has a strong dislike and rejection towards humans, claiming that none of them can be trusted and detesting the idea of being owned by one. Despite being quite violent and unfriendly, Kyouka used to hate the idea of being used as a weapon, since a flute's purpose is merely to produce beautiful music, but as she was forcefully used for her fighting potential she came to strongly dislike the idea of being owned. Despite her abusive nature, Kazuya took a liking for her and requested her to become his partner after his arrival on Tsuzura Temple , which she strongly refused for quite some time as she dislikes his soft-heartened and benevolent personality, and it took the intervention of her companions from Mayoiga to convince her to agree. Even after reluctantly allowing him to become her owner, she's rather bossy and strict with him, but Kazuya does not mind it at all and infact fully trusts her as someone who wouldn't betray him in spite of her harsher exterior. While she often hides it, Kyouka has been noted by others to have come to trust him as well, and she still finds herself comfortable with him despite her complaints.

[1] Along with his arrogance, Madarai is easily angered when opposed or when his plans fail.

Masuji believes that the temple's reliance on a few strong individuals with a close connection to their tsugumomo to be detrimental when the rest of them can perform just as well by treating their tsukumogami as tools and exhausting them as they see fit. This treatment of tsukumogami stems from Madarai's dedication to carrying out Tsuzura Temple 's purpose, to deal with aberrations in the most efficient manner possible. [2] Even after he is deposed as head priest, Madarai is still dedicated to Tsuzura Temple's cause and views his actions as justified for Tsuzura Temple's betterment.
