Basic Info: A yokai known as a Nue. Male. 200cm.

Past: He was slain by Minamoto no Yorimasa and I no Hayata. He used to make Emperor Konoe suffer from illness every night.

↓ (Optional reading) Yorimasa shot the Nue down with a Washu Hyuga bow, and his retainer Hayata finished it with the sword Shishio. Fearing a curse, people set the corpse adrift in a boat. It washed up in Hyogo, where the Nue's ghost tearfully asked a monk for salvation. He was resurrected a while later.

*In short, he had a change of heart after being slain and was recently resurrected.

Present: Terrified of things that remind him of Yorimasa or Hayata. Trauma. When sad, he cries "Hyo-hyo..." mournfully. Black smoke appears when he is angry. Loves mitarashi dango. His mood improves with his favorite food. He has modern knowledge but still gets surprised seeing things in person. He praises what he finds impressive. Can disguise himself as human.

Prickly attitude, but the snake tail is honest and wraps around things he likes. Black kimono, white haori, brown fur stole. Beauty marks under left eye and near mouth.
