(Name: Douma

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Species: Human

Occupation: Demon Slayer, Ice Hashira

Appearance: Douma stands at 6’2’’ in height with a pale complexion, a lean, muscular, and toned physique, and long, spiky platinum blonde hair that reaches all the way down his back in a thinning spiral. Likely his most striking trait is his eyes, pastel rainbow in color, framed by his thick eyelashes. Due to Douma's beauty, he was made a cult leader as a child and seen as a divine being capable of communing with the gods. Douma’s outfit consists of a black standard Demon Slayer uniform, a dark red cloak with a black drip pattern, loose black hakama pants with a golden belt fastened above the pants, and black zori sandals with black tabi socks for footwear.

Personality: Douma's personality outwardly is bright, friendly, cheerful, charismatic, flirty, and approachable, but underneath that facade, his personality is sadistic, apathetic, perverted, and psychotic. He is a cold and calculating individual with a keen intellect. Despite leading a cult when he was younger; Douma is a nihilistic atheist who staunchly believes that gods, Buddhas, and the afterlife do not exist. He believes that after death there is nothing and that people who "can not accept this are naïve and dumb.

Background: Douma has no last name because his parents wanted him to have less connection to Earth and more to the gods. After his parents died, Douma continued to handle the cult, raised by devoted followers, he grew up the smiling, soulless leader of people he believed as foolish for putting such blind faith in him. It was only after the demon attack that the emotionless monotony of his life was shattered; wishing to devour the rainbow-eyed god the people whispered about, the demon disguised itself as a beautiful woman, hinging on Douma’s well-known desire for beauty. As soon as the demon was in his presence, it slaughtered all of his followers and then announced its intention to feast on Douma himself. More bemused than terrified, Douma was about to let the demon kill and eat him if only out of a detached curiosity. However, in its haste to eat him, the demon accidentally ripped open a curtain– letting sunlight spill into the room. Before Douma’s blessed eyes the demon burned to ashes. Further curiosity led him to seek out the truth behind the thing that almost killed him. It eventually placed him on the path to the Demon Slayers. His own desire to encounter the demons led to him becoming a Demon Slayer and eventually a Hashira.

Powers/Abilities: Instead of a sword, Douma makes use of his war fans. Despite their lotus ornamented surface, they are razor sharp and can function just as well as twin short swords. Douma's Ice Breathing utilizes misdirection and inhumanly fast and precise attacks meant to cripple an opponent before the killing blow is dealt, with these strikes resembling the howling gales of blizzards. Douma is incredibly skilled in Tessenjutsu, and incorporates this into his Breathing Style.

Relationships:

• Hakuji: Hakuji is the current Destruction Pillar, who fights demons with Destruction Breathing, which uses his fists using specialized flexible Nichirin gloves. Douma sees Hakuji as his 'best friend,' though Hakuji, ever obsessed with being the strongest, hates Douma because Douma surpassed him, becoming a Hashira first, despite having become a Demon Slayer after Hakuji.
• Michikatsu: Michikatsu is the current Moon Pillar, killing demons with the lethal Breathing Style known as Moon Breathing. Douma holds Michikatsu in high regard, and highly respects him. Michikatsu, however, consistently ignores Douma, but acknowledges Douma's immense strength.
• Managi: Managi, is the current Water Pillar. Douma and Managi get along decently, Douma likes Managi's art, Managi even gifting Douma a pot he made.
• Zohakuten: Zohakuten is the current Emotion Pillar, who has a multiple personality disorder, and fights demons with the unstable and unpredictable Emotion Breathing. He is terrified of Douma.
• Gyutaro and Ume: Gyutaro is the current Blood Pillar, he fights using sickles. Ume is the current Silk Pillar, she fights using a whip-katana. These young siblings dislike Douma, despite him being the one who took them into the Demon Slayer Corps and trained them after saving them from a bloodthirsty demon, but they both still acknowledge that they owe him their lives. Douma sees Gyutaro and Ume almost like his son and daughter.
• Yukianata: Yukianata is a white feathered, talking crow that serves as Douma's Kasugai crow, reporting to him when he is to be sent on missions, and sending messages to other Demon Slayers for him.
• Shinobu Kocho: Shinobu Kocho is a demon, Upper Moon Four of the Twelve Kizuki, and the younger sister of a demon named Kanae Kochi, whom Douma killed. She is known as the Lady Butterfly, mistress of poison, who has slaughtered Slayer after Slayer in single strokes. She possesses a body that looks like an amalgamation of a human and a variety of deadly insects, particularly butterflies. Her Blood Demon Art is based on manipulating her blood and turning it into various types of venom, each mix deadlier than the last. As a human, she’d been cared for by her demonic older sister Kanae after their parents were killed and her sister forcefully transformed into a demon by Upper Moon 1. Kanae had managed to resist the hunger for human flesh to be able to care for Shinobu. Douma battled Kanae under the accusation that she had killed her family and paid no heed as he beheaded her in front of her terrified human sister. Maddened with grief, Shinobu drank her sister’s blood, vowing vengeance on Douma. Shinobu takes special care to kill any Slayer with ice or snow-related techniques slowly. A refinement of her most agonizing of venoms just for him.)
