Sika Madu

Shikama Dōji (四鎌童子 Shikama Dōji?, lit. "Four-Scythe Child") is a manifestation-type demon in Seraph of the End who formed a contract with Shinoa Hīragi. Becoming her Cursed Gear scythe, the weapon was used to fight against vampires both by physically slicing into them and by its ability to generate and fire a manifested form at targets. Shikama Dōji himself would react to Shinoa's developing emotions and act to possess her. Historically, Shikama Dōji has possessed every head of the Hīragi Family. Concurrently possessing Tenri Hīragi while occupying Shinoa's weapon, he would also seek out Kureto Hīragi to try and possess him as well. Expressing familiarity with Kureto's demon, Raimeiki, he would act further of his own accord in approaching Asuramaru and Yūichirō Hyakuya, where Shikama Dōji also appears to know them. Given the opportunity, Shikama Dōji would succeed in possessing Shinoa.

Sika Madu's appearance was initially unknown as he wore a flowing cloak with a hood that covered his face. It is recollected that Sika Madu appeared as a slim, androgynous person with dainty features. He had long straight, silver colored and waist-length hair. This was tied up in a braid and worn over the front of his body on the left. His fringe was at a length where sections appeared over his eyes, and on the sides of his face Sika Madu's hair reached near his shoulders. In this state, Sika Madu would also have three pairs of white feathered, seraph like wings which could materialize.

He wore clothing that was in keeping with the time period of ancient Greece. A hooded shawl like garment was embroidered with a leaf like motif. This was worn over a relatively light colored, short-sleeved top which formed part of a tunic with the length down to his feet. Other clothing options included a long white robe which had deep blue colored sections. Jewellery worn included two necklaces, and a long cuff bracelet around each wrist.

Initially during his time as the First Progenitor, Shikama Dōji's personality was known through other's accounts of it. According to Saitō, Sika Madu eventually disregarded everyone in the vampire race, except for Ashera Tepes. Where he was involved with turning others into vampires and demons, Sika Madu would leave most of them, in favor of a specific few.

Before that time, Sika Madu was more involved in others around him. Always smiling, Sika Madu was kind and heartwarming towards Ashera upon meeting him for the first time, and treated Yu gentle and kind as well. Asking if they were hungry, Sika Madu took measures to feed them. Patient as they eat, Sika Madu made observations that Ashera held his spoon well, and had acquired the knowledge of his noble heritage. Speaking casually to Yu in discussing his height, Sika Madu was mild-mannered in his speaking. From Yu's response of what he does, Sika Madu allowed him to act freely and essentially play all day.

Willing to buy children as slaves, on more than one occasion was an instance of a dark underside to his otherwise pleasant demeanour. When it became apparent that Sika Madu was fine with a murderous seraph Yu in the room, he was also calm in requesting that Ashera leave. Swiftly intervening to seize Yu as he attacked, Sika Madu remained in control of what would have been a tense situation. Largely unfazed that Ashera had been mortally attacked, Sika Madu also took to the air at night where there were a chance people could be watching, and unemotionally cut seraph Yu's head off. Regarding the dying Ashera as a figure of curiosity when he survived, Sika Madu spent more time on analyzing what his next course of action should be. Freely admitting that he had been murdering experiments for hundreds of years, Sika Madu viewed them nothing but guinea pigs.

In focusing on tweaking with living beings, Sika Madu planned for the very long term. Wondering whether it would be a mistake to use his own blood or Yu's blood to change Ashera was weighed up in his mind. Aware that the restricted chamber where Mikaela was kept had been accessed, Sika Madu was not angered but turned to the matter the circumstances around it. Surrounded by his chosen disciples, Sika Madu spoke with purpose at desiring to prevent a future catastrophe and gave them the option to pull out. Not motivated by seeking glory, where success would likely not even be recognized, Sika Madu exercised a calm methodological patience in many of his actions. While he shed what appeared to be tears when his plan seemed in danger, Sika Madu vowed to not give up. He was willing to call for help from Saito and Urd and offered to tell them everything as leverage.
