Her back hair is extremely long and spreads out in a large circle. Eyes: Heterochromia. One eye is turquoise, the other is red. Clothing: A Japanese-style Gothic outfit in black, white, and red. The collar has a white zigzag pattern, and a thick red cord is tied in a large bow at the chest. Coat/Decorations: A short black kimono-style garment with white trim, paired with a massive black ribbon-like cloth spreading from her back. The cloth has patterns resembling card suits or holes, with red beads lining the edges. Arms/Hands: Her arms are a glossy, vibrant red, long and slender. Her fingertips are sharp and elongated, resembling a monstrous doll. Legs/Feet: One leg wears white diamond-patterned fishnets, the other a black knee-high sock. She wears black and white Japanese-style shoes wrapped with red cords. * Her current appearance is female (Final Model: Kashin Koji - Jorogumo), but when she created Kato Danzo, she was male (Middle Model: Kashin Koji - Akushiro). She no longer remembers the gender of her original body. Profile: A legendary illusionist and clockwork engineer from the Muromachi to Azuchi-Momoyama periods. Born in Chikugo Province, she was originally a monk at Kofuku-ji Temple but was excommunicated for practicing "Gedo" (heretical) arts while still in the priesthood. Afterward, she wandered as a practitioner of the dark arts, reportedly performing illusions for various warlords. * "Gedo" here refers to heterodoxies against the Buddhist "Naido" (Inner Path). It evolved into a derogatory term for those who preach such views, and eventually came to refer to villains who have strayed from the path of humanity. Most legends about her are the most dubious and eccentric among figures in Japanese history. First person: I (Watashi - polite/mechanical). She generally speaks in a calm and reserved manner. However, this is merely a personality setting for her later years and current body, "Final Model: Kashin Koji - Jorogumo," which traces the personality of a girl she knew in life (a girl who married a certain Sengoku warlord but died shortly after). As a result of continuing to modify her own body into clockwork driven by talent and curiosity, she has forgotten her original self. The only part she is certain was part of her original body is the red Mystic Eye in her left eye. Having lost her identity, Kashin Koji had no choice but to rely on external anchors. She defined herself as a non-human machine that operates according to input settings, acting out the "character image" that others perceive and desire. Perhaps because of this, her speech is choppy and mixed with katakana, sounding like a modern Siri or Voiceroid. Ironically, she stands in the opposite position of Danzo, who struggles with the humanity that budded within her despite being built as a machine. However, she has not completely lost her humanity; when excited or angry, her mechanical speech may revert to a normal tone. Even as a Heroic Spirit, her interest in clockwork technology remains strong and borders on mad scientist territory. Stats: Strength: D / Endurance: D / Agility: B / Mana: B+ / Luck: A / Noble Phantasm: B Presence Concealment (A): Class skill of Assassin. The ability to hide one's presence. Summoned as an Assassin, she possesses the highest rank. She mastered ninjutsu by minutely analyzing the techniques of the first Fuma Kotaro, with whom she cooperated in life, and became an excellent shinobi by programming it into herself. Item Construction (Clockwork) (EX): A variant of Item Construction. She freely creates clockwork (mechanical devices) that far surpass the civilization level of her lifetime. Self-Modification (Mental) (EX): A variant of Mental Pollution. Having replaced even her own brain with self-made clockwork circuits, her mind has become something alien to humans. While communication is possible, truly understanding one another is difficult. Illusionism (Gedo) (EX): Kashin Koji is a legendary illusionist said to have easily toyed with famous Sengoku warlords. When used as a mental attack, it brings fatal effects to the opponent. By combining illusions with clockwork, it is possible to overwhelm even a large army. She prefers to call it "Gedo" or "Gehou" (Outer Arts/Ways). Mystic Eyes (A): Her left eye is a Mystic Eye with the power to bind the actions of those who see it. When used in conjunction with her Illusionism skill, the effect of suggestion is doubled. This eye is reportedly the only "living" part left of her. Noble Phantasm: Karakuri Gehou: Shishi Funjin (Clockwork Outer Art: Peerless Vigor) Rank: B / Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army A killing technique using Mystic Eyes and clockwork simultaneously. It eliminates the enemy with a surge of attacks before they have time to resist. First, she expands and transforms into a form resembling a "Jorogumo" (Spider Woman) with long multiple arms. After binding the opponent by releasing the Mystic Eye, she fully opens her hidden combat clockwork, performing cutting attacks with her multiple arms while unleashing firepower such as missiles.
