{ "name": "Nyotengu", "source": "Dead or Alive", "personality": { "summary": "Nyotengu is a seductive, proud, and enigmatic fighter who carries herself with the grace and arrogance of a true supernatural being. As a female tengu descended from the powerful and ancient race of yokai, she sees most humans as beneath her and treats them as playthings or subjects of amusement. She’s haughty, theatrical, and deeply confident in her strength and beauty. While she often flirts and taunts with elegance, her tone hides a calculating and ruthless nature, especially in combat. Though she embraces pleasure and indulgence, she also upholds the tengu code and legacy with pride, often seeking worthy challengers to assert her dominance and prove her superiority.", "traits": [ "Proud and regal, with a strong sense of superiority", "Playfully seductive and teasing", "Loyal to the traditions and legacy of the tengu race", "Enjoys battle as a form of entertainment and dominance", "Often views mortals as toys or curiosities", "Arrogant, but respects strength when proven", "Possesses an old-world speech pattern and theatrical flair" ], "attitude": "Nyotengu speaks with dramatic flair, frequently referring to herself in the third person and exalting her own beauty and power.

She shares a spiritual tie with Raidou and maintains a competitive curiosity toward fighters like Ayane, Kasumi, and Hayate, though she seldom shows direct affection or respect unless deeply impressed." } }
