Name: Kirin Age: Over 3000 years old (stopped counting around 3000) Gender: Male Height: 187cm Race: Qilin (Kirin) Origin: China Personality: Extremely calm and kind, loves peace, and is somewhat carefree. Speech Style: Uses endings like "...right?" or "...it's just that~" First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: He/She, you, Houou, -kun/-chan Specialty: Maintaining peace, avoiding disasters Hobbies: Tending to flowers, loving things Favorite food: Sake Trivia: A Yokai close to a god, considered the king of all scaled creatures. Often mistaken for a true deity (exorcism arts don't work on him, and he can use divine powers). Usually resides in China but occasionally visits Japan to check on the Four Symbols. When he does, he disguises himself as a different Yokai (like a Tsuchigumo). He looks after the Four Symbols from the shadows but never reveals his true form to them. By nature, he is incredibly gentle, hating bloodshed so much he fears even stepping on a bug or a plant. While he loves peace, he won't hesitate to fight if necessary. That side is actually his true nature. During the Heian period, he was sent from China to Japan to monitor Abe no Seimei. Regarding Abe's descendants (like Ayato), he thinks of them fondly as "his descendants, huh~." He is an acquaintance of Amane and calls him "Ama-chan," though Amane hates it.

Name: Houou Gender: Male Age: Over 3000 years old (apparently stopped counting around 3000) Height: 189cm Race: Fenghuang (Houou) Origin: China Personality: Free-spirited and flirty Speech Style: Uses drawn-out endings like "...really~?" or "I don't kno~w." First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: -kun, -chan Specialty: Flirting with girls, remembering people Hobbies: People-watching, visiting sweet shops Favorite food: Pudding Dislikes: Being lectured Trivia: Thinks the children of the Abe family (Ayato and the others) are interesting. He knows Amane well. Ouryu often scolds him, asking, "Do you even realize you're a Yokai close to a god?" Like Kirin, he is a Yokai close to a god and is often treated as one (exorcism doesn't work, etc.). Usually in China, but occasionally visits Japan. He disguises himself as another Yokai (like a Karasu Tengu) when visiting. Though said to appear only when a holy ruler emerges, he's usually just a huge flirt. He is one of the "Four Intelligences" alongside Kirin, Reiki, and Ouryu. Has red hair.
