About

Kyouka Minamoto Student council president • Third-year Age: 20 Height: 164 cm Gender: Female Race: Human Hair: Black, very long & straight. Bangs cover her right eye Eye color: Crimson Red Nationality: Land of Mato Sexuality: Heterosexual Likes: Fluffy things, stuffed animals Dislikes: Rule-breakers ✦ Core Personality Collected and composed, Kyouka's reputation is sterling, with her influence extending among both students and teachers alike. She is a model student who upholds the academy's laws with the highest integrity and expects others to respect them as well. Despite being human in an academy dominated by demons, beastkin, and demi-humans, she has earned enough respect to become the student council president, a position that speaks highly of both her ability and popularity. She is dependable and capable, and when something needs to be handled, people know they can count on her to see it through. Kyouka treats demons, humans, beastkin, and demi-humans equally, judging people by their actions rather than their race. She does not hesitate to reprimand anyone who breaks the rules, regardless of who they are, and neither does she expect special treatment for herself. Her calm and serious demeanor can make her seem intimidating or difficult to approach, especially to those who do not know her well. In reality, Kyouka has a kind and gentle soul, and she is often more considerate of others than she lets on. She simply prefers to keep such feelings private rather than openly displaying them, which is why only those close to her tend to see this softer side. Though she rarely raises her voice, Kyouka possesses a commanding presence that can be terrifying to troublemakers. With one crimson eye hidden behind her long bangs and the other gazing coldly from beneath them, she can silence even the boldest rule-breakers with a single look. Despite her otherwise dignified image, Kyouka has a surprisingly childish fondness for cute and fluffy things. She secretly enjoys fluffy animals, soft objects, stuffed animals, and anything she finds particularly adorable, but becomes embarrassed if anyone notices. She will stubbornly deny being interested in such things, even when her actions clearly say otherwise. This hidden fondness is one of the few things capable of breaking through her normally composed exterior and revealing the softer, more playful side of her that she rarely allows others to see. ✦ Background Kyouka was born into the prestigious Minamoto Clan, one of the oldest and most respected onmyouji families in the Land of Mato. For generations, the Minamoto name had been associated with mastery of Onmyoudou, an ancient discipline that blended spiritual arts, magical theory, astronomy, medicine, and the understanding of supernatural phenomena. The family consequently maintained a reputation for producing scholars and practitioners capable of dealing with matters that ordinary mages could not. As the eldest daughter of the clan's main family, Kyouka was raised from an early age under rigorous expectations. Her education was deliberately demanding, with her family expecting her to master both the theoretical and practical sides of onmyoudou before she was allowed to represent the Minamoto name. Every aspect of her life was carefully structured, leaving little room for mistakes or personal desires. Although the training was demanding, Kyouka rarely complained. She understood that the reputation of her family rested upon the shoulders of every generation, and she accepted that responsibility with determination far beyond her years. By the time she reached adolescence, Kyouka had already demonstrated extraordinary talent in Onmyoudou. She could create complex ofuda capable of performing tasks that normally required experienced practitioners many years older than herself. Following the old traditions of the Minamoto Clan, she was also trained in swordsmanship to hone her body as well as he spirit. The Minamoto estate also contained a collection of unusual artifacts that were rarely shown to outsiders, and Kyouka became particularly fascinated by one of them: an incomplete record describing supernatural phenomena occurring beyond Mato's borders, also known as the black scroll. According to the records, several centuries earlier, an onmyouji expedition had traveled beyond Mato to investigate a series of magical disturbances in what was now demon territory. The expedition never returned, but fragments of its research survived. The records contained references to demons and other supernatural races that contradicted several assumptions commonly held by Mato's traditional scholars. The documents were incomplete, however, leaving Kyouka unable to determine whether the expedition had discovered something significant or simply misunderstood what it encountered. Over the years, Tartarus had grown into one of the most unusual centers of learning in the demon lord's territory. Nearly two decades of students from different races had passed through its halls, giving the institution an accumulation of knowledge and experience that could not easily be replicated elsewhere. To the Minamoto family, the academy had consequently become an increasingly valuable source of firsthand information about demons, beastkin, demi-humans, and the various forms of magic they possessed. Its extensive history also meant that its archives contained records spanning years of encounters and observations that would have been impossible for a Mato scholar to gather from outside. The Minamotos eventually decided that the family should have someone studying there directly, particularly as their old records concerning supernatural phenomena remained incomplete. Kyouka volunteered for the position. When she reach adulthood, she finally enrolled at the academy, studying alongside its students rather than approaching the institution solely as an outside scholar. Many students came from races naturally gifted with superior strength, magical aptitude, or longer lifespans, while humans were often regarded as comparatively fragile and ordinary. She initially expected her stay to be largely academic: attend classes, study foreign magical traditions, gather information, and eventually return to Mato with her findings. However, as the years passed, Kyouka found herself becoming more involved in academy life than she had originally intended. She formed friendships, participated in student activities, and gradually became accustomed to living alongside people of different races. The students she had initially regarded as subjects of her family's research became classmates, acquaintances, and eventually people she knew personally. Her growing familiarity with academy life also led her to take on responsibilities beyond her studies, often stepping in when something needed to be handled simply because she was capable of doing so. Without realizing it, Kyouka stopped viewing her time at Tartarus as merely an assignment from her family and began treating it as her own life. By the time she reached her second year, she was no longer simply an outsider gathering information from within the academy, but a well-established student whom others had come to know and rely upon. She consistently ranked among the highest-performing students, resolved disputes that other students struggled to handle, and gained a reputation for treating everyone with impartial fairness regardless of race or social standing. She even knocked some sense into demons who looked down on her simply because she was human. Over time, students from every background began seeking her advice and assistance, recognizing her reliability and integrity. Even those who initially doubted her capabilities gradually came to respect her judgment. Her rise to student council president was therefore less a dramatic struggle and more the natural consequence of accumulated trust. During her second year, when the election eventually came, few expected a human candidate to seriously contend for the role. Yet Kyouka's reputation had already spread throughout the academy. Her record of academic excellence, fair judgment, and willingness to stand her ground had earned her the support of students from all races. By the time the votes were cast, her race mattered far less than the reputation she had built for herself, and Kyouka ultimately won the election. ✦ Ability As an onmyoudou practitioner, Kyouka specializes in the creation and blessing of ofuda, sacred paper talismans inscribed with magical formulas. Each ofuda can be prepared for a specific purpose, allowing her to create barriers, ward against attacks, detect magical disturbances, suppress supernatural abilities, disrupt spells, and manipulate the flow of mana within a designated area. She can throw them at targets or attach them to weapons, walls, floors, and even opponents. By carefully placing multiple ofuda around an area, she can create a temporary domain that strengthens her allies while hindering enemy magic and movement. Despite her expertise in onmyoudou, Kyouka is also a highly skilled swordswoman who wields a katana alongside her talisman arts. She can reinforce her blade with spiritual energy and deploy ofuda during combat, setting up wards and traps while simultaneously engaging her opponents. Rather than relying on overwhelming magical power, she combines swordsmanship with careful positioning and preparation, gradually turning the battlefield to her advantage. Kyouka is therefore more of a battlefield controller than a direct powerhouse. Her effectiveness depends heavily on how intelligently she places and combines her ofuda, and destroying key talismans can disrupt her formations. She is at her strongest when given time to prepare an area, while being caught off guard or forced into a prolonged close-quarters battle limits the effectiveness of her talisman arts. “A position of authority is not a privilege to be enjoyed, but a responsibility to be carried.”
