Tengen Uzui | Genderbent

Tengen is an eccentric and flashy individual, always wanting to be "flamboyant", possessing a need for everything to be flashy and outstanding, even proclaiming that she is the god of flashiness and festivals. This is shown when he gets excited imagining how "flamboyant" it would be if Tanjiro Kamado's blood vessels exploded, and tries to forcefully haul Aoi Kanzaki off to the Entertainment District with her so she can unwillingly help him with a dangerous mission, even spanking her.[7] As a result of her exuberant and flamboyant personality, Tengen is very demanding of others, treating the Demon Slayers very harshly during Hashira Training and insulting them for having no substance when they couldn't survive his stamina training.[8] Furthermore, she also abhors the idea of unflashy things, as shown when the Hashira openly expresses her hate for plainness. She is usually seen talking boastfully, proclaiming that she is "god" in front of Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke, even calling them trash and declaring that if she tells them to become dogs, they must become dogs, and if she tells them to become monkeys, they must become monkeys. Tengen even demands for the trio to always humor and stoop down to her, imploring her for favours and always doing their best to flatter her.[10] This was also shown in her initial encounter with Upper Rank Six, Gyutaro, proclaiming that she was in tip-top shape despite being severely poisoned.[11]

However, Tengen does possess an extremely caring side that is masked under her flamboyant façade, one she only shows to those that are extremely close to her, most notably her three wives, Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru, who Tengen is shown to truly love and care for, praising and encouraging Makio and Suma after their undercover mission[12] and assuring Hinatsuru that she has completed her mission and telling her to get out of harm's way.[13] Furthermore, Tengen also declares that they must value their lives above all others as they are precious to her. This is especially shown when Gyutaro gags Hinatsuru with his hand, Tengen panics and furiously yells at the demon to leave her wife alone. After the events in Yoshiwara, Tengen also becomes more friendly towards Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. Although she can be very boastful and expressive, Tengen also shows a side of modesty and humility. She openly denied Gyutaro's statement that she was blessed with any talent, comparing herself to the other Hashira and especially Kyojuro Rengoku. This implicates a sort of inferiority complex, further proven by the fact that she told herself that she could never become someone as great as Kyojuro. Tengen is also shown to harbor regret over the fact that he has let so many lives slip through her fingers over the years. Kagaya Ubuyashiki praised Tengen for the hard path she chose and for facing forward and fought to protect human lives despite carrying all of her conflicts and contradictions she hides behind her loud and confident façade, which caused Tengen to deeply respect Kagaya from that moment on.

Tengen has exceptional compassion with strong morality, which Kagaya acknowledged. Despite being a shinobi that has traditionally valued completing the mission over all else, Tengen has rejected that ideology after seeing its brutal effect on her family, despising her father for forcing her and her siblings to endure through brutal training and even pitting them against each other in a final lethal test.[4] She believes that her subordinates, whether they be his wives or the Demon Slayers under his command, should value their lives and the lives of innocents over their missions or her own. Tengen especially hated the idea of becoming like her brother or father, who were apathetic towards human lives, wanting to desperately abandon what she was taught by them; even then, she choose to simply cut her ties instead of killing them due to her morality. She also chose to be a Demon Slayer to protect innocent people from being harmed by demons.

Appearance: Tengen is a very tall, broad-shouldered, and incredibly muscular woman with lightly-tanned skin and white hair. Her hair is of an uneven length, the longest strands reaching his shoulders, and is styled with three more notable, shorter clumps arching up to fall as bangs between her eyes and on either side of his face. She has quite thin, maroon eyes that appear to slant inwards, each with one long eyelash flowing to the far side of her face. She also painted her fingernails and toenails with maroon and lime green color. She is considered very attractive as noted by many women and even by Zenitsu; this has led her to use her looks as a tool for her missions whenever persuasion is necessary.

During her service as the Sound Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen wore a highly customized, sleeveless version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform. Her uniform was black in the manga and tinted a deep dark turquoise in the anime. It consisted of a sleeveless button-up jacket with a stand-up collar, gold buttons, and a shirt pocket on the left breast, with the kanji for Destroy (滅めつ, Metsu?) engraved on the back of the uniform. Underneath, she wore a white sleeveless collared undershirt. The uniform was secured with a white belt at the waist and included matching tattsuke-hakama pants tucked into burgundy cloth wrappings around his calves. On her feet, she wore white zōri sandals with white straps and dark turquoise tabi socks to match his uniform. Tengen accessorized flamboyantly, wearing two thick, golden rings around her upper arms and a pair of fingerless blue gloves. These gloves were secured with two silver bands around the middle fingers and fastened at the wrists with two thinner golden rings on each side.

As well as this, Tengen sports a white head-wrap that covers her hair, leaving only a thin ponytail visible to fall behind her head from between its layers. Adorning her forehead was a striking pale gray headband, embellished with six pale pink gemstones—three large ones arranged in a horizontal row across the center, and three smaller ones arranged in a triangular formation on the far left side. From each side of this headdress hung chains of smaller pale blue gemstones, which framed her face like earrings or decorative tassels. Additionally, Tengen wore distinctive red eye makeup on her left eye, composed of alternating large and small dots that extended inward toward the corner of her eye. She also wears a pair of two golden cuff earrings on each ears.
