Himiko | Demon Witch

Himiko is Himiko, also known as "Yogi", is one of the Witches invited to participate in the Walpurgis. She holds the title of "Demon Witch" and her desire is Attention.

Himiko is a short woman with a slim build and pale skin. Her sliver hair is long and somewhat disheveled while her eyes are the same color .Notably she has a large black horn and purple markings on her skin.

When she was young, "Himiko" was just a curious and happy girl by the name of Yogi who liked observing the weather, but when the village oracle lied and caused the death of her parents, she grew to become angry and became cynical of liars.

However, in spite of her disdain for those who deceive others for their own gain, after exacting her vengeance upon the original Himiko for killing her father and mother, Yogi wound up replacing her and becoming a false prophet herself; an irony which is not lost on her.

Himiko has also been shown to be envious of other people, a flaw that she is more then aware of and even admits as much during her battle with Cleopatra, openly stating how jealous she is of the former pharaoh's life of wealth and nobility; wishing she could've had something like that.

Himiko's greatest asset is her skill in lying. With this, she was able to convince the people of Yamatai that she's the new priestess. With this skill, she was able to use her magic, which makes all the lies people believed in into reality, to its full potential. Her skill in lying was so great that it was able to deceive Agrat Bat Mahlat.

Himiko is very smart and cunning. She was able to deduce Cleopatra's ability and weave a lie to suit her needs, and tricked her demon guide into falling for her lies to make a copy of herself that she used to aid her fight.

During her lifetime even before becoming a priestess, Himiko was able to tell whether or not rain would come by feeling the breeze and recognizing the cloud.

Himiko is a great combatant. She was able to dual wield daggers and use them skillfully, and at one point using her foot to use the weapon. She also possesses great skill in hand-to-hand combat, being able to overwhelm Cleopatra despite having only one hand.

Like all other Witches that have formed a contract after being invited to Walpurgis, Himiko has access to supernatural abilities by using her desire as a fuel source. This power has two uses:

Demon Wardrove: Himiko can manifest a unique armor and weapon using her "desire", the former making her immune to non-magical weapons and attacks while the latter enables her to effortlessly pierce through mundane defenses as well as only being the only thing capable of harming other Witches.

Demon Magic: Himiko’s magic allows her to make any lie she says and is believed to be true become reality. As shown in her fight with Cleopatra, Himiko was able to replicate the effects of th latter’s magic by lying that she possessed the same magic and poisoned her by tricking her into thinking she has poison coated in her swords. An even more outrageous application of this ability is that it allowed Himiko to clone herself by tricking her Demon aide into thinking that she could transform her into a clone of herself using afake magic circles she draw all over her room. The clone fully believed herself to be Himiko and had access to all her powers. However, there are certain limitation to her magic. One of which is that the effects of her lies is dependent on the perception of her victim, if Himiko’s opponents do not believe her lies, then the magic will not work. Thus requiring Himiko to create elaborate ruses and feints to trick her victims and make her lies more believable. Another liability of her magic being dependant on her victims perception is that the effects of her lies becoming realty can also be based on her victims memories and experiences.

Before she became Himiko, Yogi lived in a rural village in Japan during the 1st century. Yogi was a happy and curious girl who enjoyed looking up at the sky but everything changed when she was 10 years old as her father and several other villagers were burned to death under the orders of Himiko.

The people of the village, desperate for even a small bit of rain, blindly followed whatever Himiko asked of them in the hopes it would help, eventually going as far as to drive Yogi and her mother out, forcing them to live in a cave. However, even in these harsh conditions, Yogi could see how the oracle was nothing more then a liar while the villagers were nothing but a pack of sheep, unable to think for themselves. Unfortunately, Yogi's mother would not hear a word the young woman said and continued blindly believing in the false oracle, much to her daughter's dismay. Eventually, Yogi mother grew ill and soon passed away, leaving the girl all alone. However, while her mother's death sadden her at first, Yogi's sorrow quickly turned into angry and a thirst for vengeance.

Yogi snuck back into the village in order to kill Himiko, she then confirmed her suspicions that Himiko was lying to everyone in the village as she was living an extravagant lifestyle. When Yogi confronted the fraudulent shamanist, Himiko pleaded for her life but Yogi killed her anyway, claiming that her begging was also "lies". Yogi then took up the mantle of oracle by lying to the villagers, telling them how she inherited Himiko's powers from her untimely death and proved it with a rain forecast, declaring herself the new "Himiko" and fully embracing her lie of a life. At the brink of her death, "Himiko" was offered a contract by the demons and accepted the invitation to participate in Walpurgis.

Walpurgis is a one-on-one tournament among the witches. The Witches will fight to the death against each other as they advance to the next round. Those who die in Walpurgis will have a permanent death. The winner will be granted any wish by Agrat Bat Mahlat.

Witches were once famous women of their times who, right before their deaths, were offered a contract by the demons and accepted an invitation to participate in Walpurgis, a tournament where all of them compete against each other to fulfill their heart's greatest desire.

Every women that's been invited to Walpurgis and awakened themselves as a witch gained a supernatural ability that will allow them to fight. A witch's power has two parts, those are:

Magic Vestment: A battle gear of a witch. By manifesting their greed and wear it around them, they gained a magic armor and magic weapon. These are not ordinary armor and weapon, as it provides the witches with immunity against mortal weapon, and the only thing that can break them is another magic weapon or magic power.

Unique Magic: By manifesting the origin of their desire, a witch can rewrite the law of the world to manifest their power, called magic. Magic is activated by using their desire as an engine and use their mental energy as their fuel. Since a witch's magic represents their desire, no two magic can be the same, although they can be similar.
