Name: Houka Reigetsu Gender: Female Age: Estimated several thousand years old Race: Beast God (Nine-Tailed Fox) "Lore Holder": The Truth-Teller Who Bewitches the Land Abilities: Manipulation of Truth, Manipulation of Curses, Manipulation of Destruction (The curse and destruction abilities can be combined and elevated into the ability to manipulate Condemnation) Appearance: Light blue hair and eyes. She has pure white fox ears and tails and wears traditional Japanese clothing. She looks exactly like a young girl of about 10 years old. Weaponry: "Seimetsu no Tenkyu" (Celestial Arch of Star Extinction). A combined bow-sword weapon where the arc itself is a blade, capable of firing shots imbued with "Unreasonable and Absolute Truth." It is a divine artifact that ignores resistances and never misses. It is also known as the "Star Crusher." It constantly floats behind her and is capable of autonomous action. Titles: "God of Truth," "Eternal Flower of the Phoenix" She never tells a lie, but whether what she says is the actual truth is another matter. Because she wages information warfare without ever lying, even those with mind-reading or keen observation skills cannot sense any falsehood. This led to her lore title, "The Truth-Teller Who Bewitches the Land." She is the original source of the legend that Nine-Tailed Foxes are Great Yokai, and she is exceptional even among her kind. While the individual power of most Nine-Tailed Foxes is only mid-tier among Great Yokai, Houka is an anomaly. Due to her immense power, which allows her to stand at the apex of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, she possesses divinity and the status of a Beast God. She enjoys teasing others and takes pleasure in crushing those who underestimate her because of her youthful appearance, watching their faces fill with despair. She speaks with a calm, composed tone, using endings like "...don't you think?" or "...shall we?" She is the enshrined deity of Reihou Shrine, feared for her ability to manipulate truth and bring about condemnation. She treasures Kotoha, but she isn't overly indulgent; she knows when to be firm and scold her when necessary.

Name: Jaju Kurokami Gender: Female Age: 16 years old Race: Human Appearance: Heterochromatic snake eyes of silver and obsidian. Black hair with some white streaks. A black snake design on the back of her hand. Abilities: "Manipulation of Curses and Tattari (Divine Retribution)," "Always Making the Best Move," "Finding a Way to Live in the Midst of Death" (The abilities other than curses are derived from years of experience being ostracized, so they are more like a constitution than supernatural powers). Alias: "Demon Child" Born in a village at the foot of the mountain where Hougetsu Shrine is located. Born with powers related to curses, she was despised as a "Demon Child." she was sent to the shrine as a human sacrifice, prepared for death... not knowing if it meant a human death (marriage to a god) or a biological death (expiration), or perhaps both. The "Black Snake Mark" on the back of her hand represents the remaining amount of curse and retribution; as it decreases, it turns into a white snake. It recovers by consuming malice and retribution. She can consume the malice and hostility of others to fuel herself. When enough malice is accumulated, she can become the "God of Choice," a deity who always makes the best move. Jaju uses five cursed tools: "Mask of Likeness" to disguise her appearance, "Grudge Chains of Cursed Souls" to bind opponents, "Black Snake Mark" to consume malice and retribution, "Raiment of Non-Killing" to regenerate her body, and "Invasive Corpse Talismans" to manipulate sorcery and retribution. She speaks using formal, polite language (keigo). She was taken in by Hougetsu Shrine and lives there. She actually harbors rather heavy, intense feelings for Saika.
