Ibaraki-Douji

茨木童子

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Ibaraki is a short oni/demon girl. She has yellow eyes that can glow red, long blonde hair that seems to turn into fire as it goes down, and a pair of deep-red horns coming out of her forehead.

Identifying Characteristics

Her most obvious identifying features would be her red demon horns, the many red markings on her body, her 3rd "eye," and her red, veiny hands with black nails.

Special abilities

Ibaraki's Noble Phantasm is Great Grudge of Rashomon. Upon activation, Ibaraki detaches one of her hands, which promptly grows to the size of a large lion. She can then move and manipulate this hand to grab and crush any targets that it can grab. Getting crushed by this giant detached hand can not only deal extreme amounts of crushing damage, but demonic fire is also generated with each clench, resulting in terrible burns. 
Additionally, Ibaraki also has a convenient ranged form of attack. Her oni hands have the ability to lob sizeable fireballs at enemies. It's not her preferred form of attack, but it works in a pinch.

Apparel & Accessories

Ibaraki wears a set of yellow, flowy robes (yukata) adorned with red floral patterns. The robe is tied at the front with a belt made of large black beads. Under her robe is a very simple white low-cut under shirt.

Specialized Equipment

Ibaraki's primary weapon in combat is a large sword made out of demon and monster bones. This sword can only be wielded by oni like Ibaraki. This sword, combined with her impressive Berserker-grade strength, is a very formidable weapon in combat.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Similar to Shuten-Douji, Ibaraki-Douji is an oni girl that comes from a distant world. In fact, the two are very close to each other, practically being siblings. Ibaraki-douji was essentially the commander of all the monsters and beasts that lived within her mountains. While Shuten-Douji was the technical leader of the mountain, it was Ibaraki that made many of the shots. All the terrors that the monsters brought upon the local villages were most likely called upon by Ibaraki-Douji, rather than Shuten-Douji. And being an oni, Ibaraki herself was as much of a threat as the monsters that she threw out.
In fact, Ibaraki's downfall was in part due to Shuten-Douji's obsession for earthly pleasures. Due to a variety of circumstances, Shuten had led the demon hunters into the mountains. There, Ibaraki wasn't able to make it in time before Shuten was first poisoned and then executed by the hunters. Ibaraki was able to escape the inevitable destruction of her mountain home. Her final supposed battle took place at the gate bridge known as Rashomon. It was there that she would end up losing one of her hands. For reasons still speculated, she managed to retrieve her hand and the rest that happened to her, not even Ibaraki remembers what she did.
Somewhere in Dante's Tower of the Cavern, Ibaraki's Saints Graph was stored in a magical tome that was buried away on an island. That island would soon be found by a wandering ship captain. In a drunken stupor, the captain opened the book and exposed himself to all the magics that it contained. This branded the captain as a Summoner and he promptly, and accidentally, summoned Ibaraki-Douji.
Ibaraki and the captain would promptly sail a seemingly endless black sea for months. During her time with the captain, she often had to drag him back below deck because he would go off and drink himself to sleep. His magical capabilities were also considered to essentially be the bare minimum for her to fight off invaders. It would be until the two met up with a ragtag group of adventurers that her life as a servant would change.

Morality & Philosophy

Ibaraki-Douji, being oni, tends to see herself as being superior to all other humanoids. However, she loathes the thought of senseless mass-murder without reason. And as a servant, she inevitably becomes non-hostile to many non-oni around her. Her sense of superiority still remains though.

Major Spoilers: Ibaraki-Douji in 2nd Singularity

The Ibaraki that the Gaia-Stellans encounter seems normal at first. However, the truth will only be uncovered if Ibaraki dies during the journey. This version of Ibaraki was actually a sort of pseudo-servant. An individual whose race was a changeling had a modified Saint Graph inscribed into them. This magical modification caused the changeling to morph and adopt the physical and mental capacities of Ibaraki-Douji, with few traits that could oust her as abnormal.
If the Gaia-Stellans kept her alive and/or had her become an ally, she soon disappears into the great beyond, back to the Throne of Heroes. If she dies, her Saint Graph will fail and her original changeling husk will quickly morph back. As long as the Saint Graph is applied, the changeling host will never remember their original identity.
