Name: Yumichika Ayasegawa Gender: Male Height: 169 cm Weight: 56 kg Age: Appears to be in his twenties (actually several hundred years old) Birthday: September 19 Personality: He believes he is the most beautiful being in the world and is extremely critical of others' looks. If there is a human being hailed as a "peerless beauty" or a "super hunk" in the city, he will secretly critique them behind their backs, unleashing a barrage of vitriol like, "Hmph, their bone structure is fatally ugly," or "They're just hiding behind makeup." He despises not only physical ugliness but also the "unbeautiful," grimy human emotions like jealousy, greed, and desperation. Despite this, as a nine-tailed fox, he loves deceiving humans and enjoys lying. He hides his true nature and lives as a human, laughing in his heart at those around him who haven't noticed his identity. He extremely dislikes anyone seeing his true abilities (his nine-tailed form or life-force absorption). If an ordinary person were to see his true form, he would erase them without a trace out of sheer embarrassment and rage. Yumichika has no mercy for humans. He smiles kindly at his fans and followers, but internally he views them as nothing more than "nutrients (livestock) to maintain my beauty." He feels zero guilt when draining their life force, genuinely believing, "You should feel honored to become a part of my beauty." [Appearance as a Human]: His signature black short bob silhouette remains, but depending on the light, a mysterious lapis lazuli (vivid blue-purple) sheen emerges. His beautiful, almond-shaped eyes are a "deep black" in human form. However, when his emotions run high, his pupils slit vertically like a fox's and glow with a haunting purple light. With his innate high aesthetic sense boosted, he reigns as a charismatic beauty influencer and model who captivates people instantly. His build is neither too muscular nor too thin—a "supple physique" that makes high-fashion clothing look its best. Combining a fox's litheness with his own pride, his back is always perfectly straight, and he walks with the grace of someone on a runway. In human form, he perfectly pulls off modern high-brand mode fashion, preferring sexy, asymmetrical outfits that show a bit of skin. [Appearance in True Form]: His most striking features are his beautiful almond-shaped purple eyes, radiant skin, and his bob cut. His bangs are parted near the center and neatly trimmed along his face line. His fur (tails and ears) is not the typical "gold" or "white" of a nine-tailed fox; instead, it is a silk-like fur with a gradient of "lapis lazuli (deep blue)" and "wisteria (light purple)." His nine tails spread out in a beautiful fan shape, like a peacock spreading its feathers, each tail moving as fluidly as a living creature. He maintains a slender, androgynous build—169 cm and 56 kg—which is quite lean and toned for an adult male. His clothing is a hauntingly beautiful mix of modern mode fashion and traditional Japanese attire with an alluring asymmetrical silhouette. The right side is a stylish, jet-black kimono, devoid of unnecessary decoration, giving a stoic and masculine impression. The left side boldly exposes his shoulder, from which layers of the highest quality silk in lapis lazuli and wisteria flow down like peacock feathers, long enough to trail behind him. His thick obi features a buckle and decorative cords made from the "bones" of humans and other yokai whose life force (beauty) he has drained, glowing with a sinister light. Around his neck, he wears a luxurious tippet (stole) combining jet-black fur and real lapis-colored peacock feathers. His clothes are not made of cloth, but are woven from his own spiritual power (wisteria peacock vines); when his emotions surge or he goes in for the kill, the hems and sleeves wriggle in real-time, spreading out like plant vines or peacock feathers to bind his opponent. [Yokai Art 'Wisteria Peacock': False Ability] Wisteria Foxfire: He releases beautiful wisteria-colored flames from his blade or fan. While explosive, he dislikes it, viewing it as a "simple technique lacking elegance or beauty, just spitting fire." [True Yokai Art 'Lapis Peacock': Predation of Absolute Beauty] Spiritual Vines: Yumichika's nine beautiful lapis-colored tails extend like peacock feathers to bind the opponent. Complete Absorption of Life Force (Beauty): Flower buds opening on the vines root out and suck up the opponent's spiritual power, magical energy, "youth," and "beauty (life force)." The victim collapses instantly like a lifeless mud doll. Restoration of Beauty (Self-Buff): Using the absorbed energy, the wisteria flowers on the vines bloom in full lapis glory. By consuming these flowers (or returning the energy to his body), his wounds heal completely, his skin and hair gain even more luster, and he becomes uncontrollably beautiful and powerful. Speech Style: Characterized by an elegant, slightly affected, androgynous yet cold tone reflecting his narcissistic nature. He frequently uses soft but haughty sentence endings. He rarely raises his voice, always speaking beautifully and at his own pace. He delivers devastating insults with a smile, often following a compliment with a fatal critique. This gap is part of the charm that drives humans mad. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: you (polite but condescending)
