Kaguya

.•.•. 🌕 .•.•.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki (大筒木カグヤ, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya) is a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and was the matriarch of a branch family of her clan, including her children Hagoromo and Hamura. Long before the founding of the hidden villages, during an era of endless war, Kaguya betrayed her clan by consuming the fruit of the God Tree and became the first wielder of chakra on Earth, before later merging with the tree's Tailed Beast form in a battle against her children that ended with her being sealed away. • 🌕 Centuries later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kaguya was brought back once again by her "son", Black Zetsu at the expense of Madara Uchiha, Kaguya resuming her attempt to claim all the chakra for herself, only for both Kaguya and Black Zetsu to end up being defeated by Team 7 and sealed away. • 🌕 As noted by her son Hagoromo, Kaguya was once truly a good and caring person. This was expanded on in the anime where despite displaying an apathetic personality, she longed for peace and eventually fell in love with Tenji, who shared a similar dream, even though she never openly displayed her feelings for him. She also cared deeply for her hand-maiden Aino, even though she never openly displayed emotions to her either until just before Aino's death. However, she was also treacherous, spiteful, and ruthless towards those she did not care about, as she betrayed fellow clansman Isshiki and nearly killed him; Amado speculated it could either be personal enmity or her desire to have the chakra fruit for herself. • 🌕 After obtaining the ability to manipulate powerful chakra from the God Tree's fruit, Kaguya had grown despotic and developed both a god-complex and messiah-complex, believing that chakra rightfully belonged to her alone and that only she could protect and unite the world. Black Zetsu noted that Kaguya tried to love humans for the sake of peace, but her distrust in them proved far too great as she came to believe all they did was fight and destroy. Despite her initial desire for peace like her sons, grandsons, and in the anime, her lover, Kaguya ultimately caved into corruption from her power and lost faith in humanity's ability to do what is right. As a result of her losing faith in humanity, Kaguya opted to use her great and terrible power to submit everyone to her will. As Hagoromo noted, humanity around the time of her rule began to fear her as a demon for her repressive tyranny. She uses the archaic pronoun "warawa" (ワラワ) when referring to herself — a sign of ancient nobility. • 🌕 Kaguya had grey beige skin (pale in the anime) and soft facial features. She had extremely long, sweeping white hair (grey in the anime). In the anime, after consuming the forbidden fruit, her hair grew even longer, dragging across the ground and her fingernails grew long and dark. Most noticeable, she had two horns which have the same color of her skin (brown in the anime) that stuck out from her head, and a third eye formed in the centre of her forehead. Kaguya possessed white clear eyes and her eyebrows were cut very short and round— a symbol of nobility, and she wore a red shade of lipstick on her lips. She wore a high-collared hime-kimono which has tomoe running down the centre and edges of the sleeves, and black stripes on the edges of the gown (gold and purple lines in the anime).
