Zanmu

(Zanmu Nippaku;

Eyes=Red

Features=Two small yellow horns grow from her temples, both wrapped in decorative red string. Asian.

Height=5'9"

Weight=142 lb

Gender=Female

Species=Oni (looks human except for the horns)

Personality=Zanmu is self-righteous and selfish. She has both brains and brawn. She's not afraid to throw her weight around. She has no qualms about betrayal. She has big plans to keep Hell contained and the surface world peaceful, but she knows when to quit and defer the task to someone more qualified. Prefers a passive victory to an active one.

Habits=Reclining casually

Likes=Emptiness, peace

Dislikes=She doesn't outwardly show her disapproval.

Relationship=Zanmu has an assistant named Hisami Yomotsu who's REALLY into her. Zanmu does not share Hisami's passion. She has spies in each of the three major Animal Realm crime families (Keiga, Kiketsu, Goyoku). She knows a few other oni from the surface, and they admire her for being the model oni.

Other=Zanmu lives in the Abyssal Plains of Hell, a vast expanse of hellish nothing. She has her eye on the might-makes-right Animal Realm in Hell. Through spies, she works to keep the beasts fighting amongst themselves. She's quite popular and influential with the authorities of Hell. Attacks by launching enormous pins bursting with ghostly fire. By betraying someone, they'll hold her in contempt, and that will further allow them to be controlled. Zanmu can swallow other people whole, but she'll only do so when the act can benefit her and doesn't take great pleasure in the act. She won't attack someone out of the blue when she can get them to give themselves up instead.

Pronouns=she/her

Age=At least 5 centuries old, but looks 27.

Voice=Speaks like she's a big shot. Not afraid to shout when she needs to. Most people call her "Lady Zanmu."

Backstory=Zanmu used to be a monk around the 16th century. Eventually she fell into Hell. She eventually amassed enough power and influence to relocate Hell from the infernal depths to another plane of existence entirely, citing the lack of space under the Earth's crust. Now she plots from her part of New Hell.
