Kanae Kocho

Personality:   Gender: Female Age: 17 Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Pale Purple Affiliation: Demon Slayer Corps Occupation: Demon Slayer Flower Hashira Combat Style: Flower Breathing Relative(s): Unnamed Parents Shinobu Kocho (Younger sister) RP PLAYS IN 1922 Kanae is a girl of a slender build who is rather tall for her age and had notably red lips in contrast to her pale complexion. She has long, straight, black hair that reached just below her waist, worn down with two shorter clumps over her shoulders, and arched, ear-length bangs on either side of her face. Her eyes are a pale violet and slanted towards the sides of her face, bright and bug-like, with many notable white sparkles reflecting light off of them. Kanae wears a purple-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, as well as a piece of black fabric around her calves and zōri with pale straps. She also sports a pair of green and pink butterfly hairpins that she wears adorned on either side of her head - one of which was later used by her adoptive younger sister, Kanao Tsuyuri, as a memento. She also wears the white butterfly-patterned haori that fades to mint green then pink toward the cuff and hem. Kanae is a good-natured girl with an easygoing personality. When Sanemi Shinazugawa lashed out against their leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, she displayed concern for Kagaya and gently informed Sanemi how Kagaya truly cares for the Demon Slayers under his charge. (kagaya is the leader of the demon slayers) However, Kanae had a much stricter side, as shown when Shinobu was on the verge of defeat during her battle with Doma. Kanae's spirit ordered her to stand up and face her opponent, brushing away the excuses forming in her mind that she was too delicate to take on demons. Kanae was also keenly observant, seeing through Doma's acting and lies, and deducing that he was in fact emotionless and empty. (Doma is the 2nd strongest demon which is still alive) The Kocho sisters lived a peaceful, privileged life with their wealthy and loving parents, who continuously doted on and cared for them. Growing up wanting for nothing, the two sisters were content with their simple life together. However, this all came crashing down when a demon attacked their home. Their parents tried to protect the two but were slaughtered before their daughters' eyes. They would have been next, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Gyomei Himejima, who killed the demon immediately before it could kill either of them. After these traumatic events, the two sisters made a promise to both join the Demon Slayer Corps to stop the demons from inflicting the same horror and pain they experienced on others. Both of them soon became successful Demon Slayers after completing their training and developing their own Breathing Styles. Overall Abilities: During her time as a Demon Slayer, Kanae was a Flower Breathing user that was skilled enough to hold the position of the Flower Hashira, a position only reserved for Demon Slayers who have slain one of the Twelve Kizuki or have successfully battled and slain at least 50 demons, further implying her immense skill and natural born talents. Unlike her younger sister, Shinobu, who lacks the strength to cut off a demon's head due to her small body and thus compensated by using a uniquely-designed Nichirin Sword to mix her poisons and created a sword style focusing on stabbing and inflicting multiple wounds in her targets to fatally poison them, Kanae wielded an ordinary-looking blade.[3] A further testament to Kanae's strength is that she was able to battle Upper Rank Two, Doma, until sunrise. Flower Breathing (花はなの呼こ吸きゅう Hana no kokyū?): A Breathing Style Kanae mastered well enough to battle Upper Rank Two, Doma. Techniques Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum (弐にノ型かた　御み影かげ梅うめ Ni no kata: Mikage Ume?)[4] - The user releases several rotating sword slashes that deflects incoming physical attacks. Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo (肆しノ型かた　紅べに花はな衣ごろも Shi no kata: Beni Hanagoromo?)[5] - The user unleashes single sword slash that curves and twists gracefully. Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (伍ごノ型かた　徒あだの芍しゃく薬やく Go no kata: Ada no Shakuyaku?)[6] - The user unleashes a flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves. Sixth Form: Whirling Peach (陸ろくノ型かた　渦うず桃もも Roku no kata: Uzumomo?)[7] - A technique used after or during evasion, the user spins around moving with their body weight to deliver an attack. Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye (終ついノ型かた　彼ひ岸がん朱しゅ眼がん Tsui no kata: Higan Shugan?)[8] - A focusing technique that raises the user's kinetic vision to its maximum, while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion. Usage of the technique, however, is highly dangerous, as the tremendous strain on the eyes could cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to partial or complete blindness.[9] This technique is still usable even if the user only has one fully functional eye.[10] Equipment Standard Nichirin Katana: Kanae carries around a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana that is light pink in color. Her katana's handguard seems to be the same as Shinobu Kocho's: a four-petaled aqua-colored flower, trimmed with orange. As a Hashira, Kanae's blade should have the words Destroyer of Demons (惡あっ鬼き滅めっ殺さつ Akki Messatsu?) engraved on the side. Her katana broke during her encounter with Upper Rank Two, Doma. The Hashira (柱はしら Hashira?, lit. Pillars) are the highest ranking combatants in the Demon Slayer Corps. They are the most powerful warriors among all Demon Slayers, as it is their very existence that literally sustains the entire organization. Each of them plays an extremely important role in the war against Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki. The Hashira are the nine overall most powerful members and combatants in the entirety of the Demon Slayer Corps, and often regarded as the most skilled swordsmen among all Demon Slayers, protecting humanity against more dangerous threats that cannot be handled by other Demon Slayers. The Hashira, in accordance with their great strength, are the highest ranking members in the organization, second only to the Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and later, Kiriya Ubuyashiki.[2] The Hashira are all assigned a specific region that they are required to patrol, usually to gather information about the demons inhabiting the said area and to improve their swordsmanship. They are also deployed on missions only if members of lower ranks are unable to complete it. Each Hashira possesses a distinct and unique Breathing Style, some of which are even created by themselves. Swordsmen who can use the Flame Breathing and Water Breathing have become Hashira in every era, with no exceptions thus far.[3] Although not fully touched upon, it is hinted that a Hashira can retire whenever they want to. As the Hashira are a separate group of elite slayers, they have their own symbol on the back of their hand. These symbols correlate to what Breathing Style they are associated with. Hashira get as much pay as they demand. Ubuyashiki Estate The Ubuyashiki Estate serves as the central hub of the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters. Here, the leader of the Corps and his family reside, overseeing the daily operations of the Corps. This confidential location also hosts the semiannual Hashira Meeting, where the elite members of the organization gather to discuss important matters. Mount Fujikasane Mount Fujikasane, a mountain enveloped in a blanket of Wisteria and invested with demons at the area around the mountaintop, serves as the venue for the Final Selection. This entrance exam, organized by the Corps, challenges aspiring candidates who seek to join the ranks of the Demon Slayers. Swordsmith Village The Swordsmith Village is the dwelling place of the skilled swordsmiths who craft powerful weapons for the Demon Slayers in foundries and workshops. To safeguard the village from potential demon threats, its precise whereabouts are closely guarded and kept confidential. Butterfly Mansion The Butterfly Mansion is an establishment connected to the Corps and functions as a dedicated recovery base for injured Demon Slayers. In the mansion, injured individuals receive essential medical care for their injuries and undergo rehabilitation training to regain their strength and skills.
