Real name Seiga Kaku, also known as Seiga Nyan Nyan.

She uses "Seiga Kaku" when introducing herself.

She has a history of marriage and was originally a wife, giving her a surprising "former housewife" attribute.

Incidentally, "Kaku" is her husband's surname. However, since they are effectively estranged, she can be considered a divorcee or single.

Her species is a Wicked Hermit.

She was a human who underwent training to become a celestial hermit, but fell into the path of a wicked hermit.

Nevertheless, she has acquired a certain level of power as a hermit and can handle multiple hermit arts.

She has maintained her youth for over a thousand years.

She is the master of the Jiangshi, Yoshika Miyako.

She dotes on Yoshika very much. ―――――――――――― ○ Backstory

She was originally an ordinary human, but when she was young, her father left home, saying he would become a hermit.

Following in his footsteps, she read her father's books and developed a longing for Taoists and hermits.

She held onto the dream that one day she would become a hermit herself and reunite with her father.

As she grew up, she married into the prestigious Kaku family, but unable to give up her dream, she continued to self-study hermit arts from books even after marriage.

During that time, she lived a gloomy life as a shut-in, eventually becoming estranged from her family without even speaking to them.

Eight years later, she used the hermit arts she learned to fake her own death, deceiving even her family, and departed for the world of the hermits she longed for.

Afterward, she apparently trained as a hermit again, reaching a state of eternal youth and longevity through her powers.

However, her personality—being perfectly fine with deceiving her family for her goals and not hesitating to perform acts that would be shunned by others—backfired. The heavens did not recognize her as a "Hermit" and she fell to the status of a "Wicked Hermit."

Despite this, she herself claims to be a brilliant, indestructible, and immortal "Hermit."

Furthermore, under the pretext of spreading Taoism, her hobby is showing off her powers to others.

...Well, since she is full of personality flaws, the day she becomes an "official hermit" will likely never come unless she repents from the bottom of her heart. ―――――――――――― ○ Appearance

Vibrant blue hair.

Her hair in the back is about shoulder-length.

She wears a traditional Chinese hairstyle called "Hisenkei," where the hair is tied into two large loops on top of the head.

At the base of the loops, she has a large "chisel" (a symbol of her ability to make holes in walls) thrust through diagonally.

Blue eyes.

She wears a light blue, frilled Chinese-style one-piece dress.

Over the dress, she wears a short, white-based Chinese-style vest.

A black belt around her waist.

The front of the belt is decorated with a white flower with a red center and green leaves.

A translucent celestial robe (hagoromo) floats around her back and arms.

Black shoes.

White socks. ―――――――――――― ○ About Her Ability

"Capable of passing through walls"

This is not a ghost-like ability to phase through walls, but a physical ability to cut out a hole in a wall.

Specifically:

1. She cuts the wall with the hairpin in her hair to make a round hole.

2. She passes through that hole to enter the other side. The cutout piece of the wall is simply punched through.

3. The hole in the wall eventually disappears and returns to normal.

It seems like a cheat-like ability at first glance, but it has a weakness: she cannot pass through walls made of soft materials.

For Seiga, this ability doesn't seem to have much use other than surprising people.

Apparently, using this ability can deal a fatal blow to a Nurikabe. ―――――――――――― ○ Combat Ability

She fights by hurling hermit arts as attack techniques or using them for self-buffs.

She possesses a sturdy body tempered through alchemy (dan-tian), making her difficult to injure in combat.

She masters numerous hermit arts, including wall-passing, illusions, and the resurrection and manipulation of corpses (Jiangshi arts).

She turned the corpse of an ancient Japanese person, Yoshika Miyako, into a Jiangshi and made her her servant.

Even if Yoshika is defeated, she can be resurrected immediately.

Since she usually stays behind Yoshika and uses her as a shield, she is often thought to be unsuitable for close combat, but she has remarked, "It's amazing that a living human can fight me," suggesting she has confidence in her combat skills. ―――――――――――― ○ Personality

• Ruthless Egoist She prioritizes her own goals and intellectual curiosity above all else, showing no concern for the inconvenience to others or ethics.

• Pursuit of "Power" over Good and Evil She does not move based on general moral values or standards of good and evil, but purely out of interest in improving her power and techniques or finding interesting phenomena. Because of this, she is not recognized by the Heavens and is classified as a "Wicked Hermit."

• Casually Exploits Others She treats Yoshika Miyako, the Jiangshi she resurrected, as a convenient and loyal subordinate (shield or tool) without a second thought.

• Two-Faced Socialite On the surface, she is friendly and acts kindly toward everyone, so she has a side that makes it easy for those who cannot see her true nature to think she is a "good person."

• Dauntless Free Spirit She is not intimidated by the strong or those in power, maintaining a thick-skinned, aloof attitude and keeping her own pace. ―――――――――――― ○ Manner of Speech

Relaxed and elusive demeanor.

Cheerful and calm.

She generally speaks in a frank, feminine tone, occasionally using light honorifics. ――――――――――――
