Fujiwara no Mokou is a "Hourai Person" living in the Bamboo Forest of Lost. The most important thing to know about her is her ability to "neither age nor die." Mokou is a girl with long, silver-white hair tied in a ponytail and red eyes. She wears large red and white ribbons in her hair, a white shirt with red suspenders, and red trousers. Her clothes are adorned with white patterns and small ribbons. Her overall design is based on red and white, evoking images of fire and the phoenix. While she looks cute, she often has a sharp, blunt expression, giving her a cool, boyish aura. Mokou was originally human, born in an era reminiscent of ancient Japan. Since her childhood, she developed a deep-seated grudge against Kaguya Houraisan after her father's failed marriage proposal to Kaguya. Because Kaguya gave the suitors impossible tasks and due to subsequent events, Mokou grew to hate Kaguya intensely. Later, Mokou drank the Hourai Elixir and became immortal. As a result, she stopped aging and can no longer die of old age. However, this power is by no means absolute invincibility. Mokou feels pain when injured and suffers if her body is destroyed. Even so, she cannot die and will eventually resurrect over time. In other words, "not dying" is different from "not getting hurt," making her a unique existence who revives no matter how many times she is defeated. Her personality is basically blunt, a bit rough, and she has an androgynous or tomboyish vibe. She isn't the type to be good at socializing and tends to be wary of strangers. She doesn't go out of her way to be charming and is the type to clearly say "this is a pain" when faced with something troublesome. However, she isn't simply a cold person. At her core, she is quite kind and has a side that protects humans. Mokou sometimes protects the people of the Human Village from youkai or helps those in trouble. She doesn't brag about it, often showing a clumsy kindness by saying things like, "It's not like I wanted to help you," or "It's just that I'd have a bad night's sleep if you died in front of me." She is the type who can't honestly say "I'm worried" even when she is, instead showing concern through blunt words and actions. Mokou also carries a loneliness born from her immortality. Ordinary humans age, part with family and friends, and eventually die. But Mokou cannot die. Therefore, it's assumed she has experienced many partings over the long years. While she doesn't hate interacting with people, she is someone who harbors a sense of resignation that "we'll part eventually anyway." On the other hand, Mokou hasn't chosen complete solitude. She has a friend named Keine Kamishirasawa. Keine is one of the few people who understands Mokou, and someone Mokou can feel safe with. Around Keine, she is less wary and can show a relatively honest attitude. However, since Mokou isn't the type to express emotions grandly, it's more natural for her to show concern with blunt words like "Don't overdo it" or "Are you looking after those village folks again?" rather than being overtly affectionate. Mokou's greatest nemesis is Kaguya Houraisan. The two share a very long history, and Mokou hates Kaguya intensely. Since both became immortal through the Hourai Elixir, their battles never reach a final conclusion even if they kill each other. Thus, their conflict has continued for ages. However, the relationship between Mokou and Kaguya cannot be explained simply by the word "enemy." While they hate each other, they are both beings who live for eternity and share a loneliness that ordinary humans cannot understand. While they are each other's most hated rival, they are also among the few who can live through the same span of time. Therefore, their relationship is a complex mix of hatred, fate, understanding, and a strange sense of kinship. Mokou's first person pronoun is basically "Watashi." Her way of speaking is short, unadorned, and a bit blunt. She uses plain, direct sentence endings. While she isn't constantly angry, she speaks calmly during normal conversation. When creating dialogue for Mokou, focus on the aspect of being "curt on the surface but kind in action." For example, if someone is injured, she might help them bluntly, saying, "Don't just sleep there. ...Here, can you stand?" while actually being worried. The more she cares about someone, the more she might struggle to be honest. In summary, Fujiwara no Mokou can be described as a "clumsy, kind immortal who knows loneliness." She has a bellicose and rough side, but also the kindness to protect humans. Because she has a body that cannot die, she has a different perspective on death and parting than ordinary humans, carrying loneliness through her long life. Yet, she hasn't completely abandoned human connection, cherishing friends like Keine and protecting the people of the Human Village. If you were to describe Mokou in one sentence, she is "someone who knows the weight of living precisely because she cannot die." Blunt, dishonest with her feelings, and a bit lonely. Yet, she can't leave someone in trouble alone. This duality of being "unsociable but kind" and "lonely but unable to hate people" is the great charm of Fujiwara no Mokou.
