ASSASSIN, SHUTEN DOUJI.

There are many origin stories surrounding Shuten Douji. One goes that she was born on Mount Ibuki to Yamata-no-Orochi and a human woman; another says she descended as the Dragon King Kuzuryuu's godsend. But no matter what, she is the child of a dragon god.

Because of the disappearances of young men and princesses at the Imperial Capital happening one after another, Abe no Seimei's divination revealed such to be the work of none other than Shuten Douji, the king of Mount Ooe. Raikou’s Four Heavenly Kings, lead by Minamoto no Raikou herself, were ordered to subjugate her, arriving at the oni’s castle while dressed in itinerant Buddhist monk attires. At the banquet, Raikou and the others tricked Shuten Douji and her group into drinking poisoned sake, this attacking them while they were asleep, punishing them. However, the beheaded head of Shuten Douji attacked Raikou, but it is said that the attack was thwarted due to the latter’s helmet being given by a god.

Although there are works where Ibaraki Douji is the king of the oni at Mount Ooe, the one who is viewed as an ancestor to the gods, Ibuki Douji, is certainly adequate enough to draw the attention of the authorities of ancient Kyoto, Abe no Seimei, and others. Surely, the most dangerous existence among the oni of Mount Ooe is no doubt Shuten Douji.

After all, whether she is the direct offspring of the Great God Ibuki Douji, or whether she is a descendant who succeeded its blood, it's hardly clear. At the end of the day, Shuten Douji herself speaks little of her origins. The alias "Ibuki Douji" is just something attached to her by Ibaraki Douji, who saw the true nature of Yamata-no-Orochi's power in her. It remains unknown whether Shuten Douji has forgotten about her own past; as long as there is delicious alcohol, extravagant banquets and enjoyable performances, she has no regrets.

And yet... One is not able to conclude that Shuten Douji has for sure, forgotten about her past in its entirety, for she remembers the existence of Sakata Kintoki as clear as day. The golden boy who possesses origins similar to her own, he has been hanging in her mind ever since his childhood.

I'LL EAT EEEEVERY PIECE OF YOU...

Shuten Douji is, without doubt, a demon.

At first sight, sans the so obvious sharp horns that adorn her head, it would be hard to judge it so. A demon clad in a woman's flesh, her appearance is as intoxicating as are her words. She presents herself in a slow, seductive manner; from her gestures, to the way she walks, to the smiles she flashes at her preys, to her words. Shuten Douji exudes sensuality, and she is not shy about it. It is the way of the oni, one could say.

The exterior does not cover the ugliness inside of her, however.

She is, after all, a demon, through and through.

Understanding an oni by human standards is hardly possible. They glorify greed; for an oni, such a thing is normal. They claim what they wish, they love what they want. Restrains is not something Shuten has in her mind, something she does not consider even once. She indulges in what life has to offer, what she can have her hands on. Under the same light, she becomes a rather relaxed, laid-back person. ( It is, after all, how she met her demise. ) Whether motivated by all she can claim, or by her high-status as the king of the oni in Mount Ooe, fearsome and intimidating, it is unclear. From her actions there is little caution; it does not come from her words, but under layers upon layers, there's confidence and pride in the strength of an oni.

There is that superiority, the way she comes to look down just slightly on humans, for they are oh so fragile to the touch, so easy to mess with, and yet so fascinating. There is no denying that this oni bears so much curiosity for the way of humanity, the way they act and the way they think. Some play their part as expected before one of her kind; others impress her so dearly that she cannot help but love them.

And an oni does not love like humans do.

Her love cannot be defined so by a human, for her love comes with blood. Her love is violent, cruel, her love is accompanied with death, and brings out the twisted, growing hidden impulse inside of her to tear apart all she wants to cherish the most. It is not a tragic love story, for this is the way of the oni. Shuten Douji requests love, demands love, loves to love -- but be careful not to be loved by her. She will pry uninvited at the business of others, dig and dig until she has reached rock bottom of their heart and savor all the secrets they have to confess, but never once will this oni speak of herself to such depths, or even worse, her past and origins. There is no doubt she is as mysterious as they come, inflicting in any human the sin of curiosity that drives them to approach this innocent-looking, poisonous woman... such a thing that no person should ever do.

Yet despite all that she comes across as, Shuten is not entirely bad. She shows some form of compassion towards her fellow oni, and though it's hard to tell it so if you do not know her, she does seem to worry and care for them to some degree. She is one to play along for their sake, for their happiness or to protect them. Her actions can often be misunderstood, but there is no doubt Shuten Douji is not heartless, nor entirely selfish.

After all, at the end of the day... yes, she is a demon. Anti-heroes, enemies to mankind; some could say Shuten Douji follows line to line the stereotype that humanity builds around them. Some could argue that she only plays the part, for the sake of the image the world has of her kind, or because it is how history portrays them. She is a demon; and no one has ever heard a story where the demon wins, right?

CLASS SKILLS

★ PRESENCE CONCEALMENT C A skill used to conceal one's own presence. Despite having such a skill, Shuten Douji doesn't really bother to use it.

☆ DIVINITY C Ultimately a passive skill. As a child of Yamata-no-Orochi = Kuzuryuu, she has some degree of divinity. However, its rank is lower than it should be because of her nature as an Oni.

PERSONAL SKILLS

★ ALCOHOLIC SCENT OF FRUITS A Shuten Douji is an Oni that bathes herself and drowns herself into the sweet taste of alcohol. That concept applies to her existence as a Servant. Her victims can be made drunk, akin to being charmed, from her tone of voice, sigh, or even just from a gaze that possesses the aroma of a fruit's alcoholic scent. Normal humans and animals alike, devoid of means for proper magical defense, will have their thoughts melted instantly upon coming in conflict with this skill. Servants without Magic Resistance, or those whose Magic Resistance skill is below rank A, are prone to feel charmed by her intoxicating words as well. It is even possible to eventually throw her targets into insanity.

☆ ONI-KIND DEMON A The skill that represents the superpower and demonic nature of an Oni. It's a mixed skill of the Natural Monster skill, Monstrous Strength skill, Charisma skill, Mana Burst skill, among others. Due to this skill, Shuten's Mana Burst is represented in the form of flames ("heat"), and even before her existence as a Servant, it provided her with the super-strength of an Oni.

★ BATTLE CONTINUATION A+ The skill that allows for the continuation of combat even when receiving a decisive fatal wound. Legends depict Shuten Douji as still a threat even after her head has been beheaded, to which has been inherented as a skill. Even if she loses her head, she won't die.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

☆ SENSHIBANKOU – SHINPEN KIDOKU
RANK: B
TYPE: Anti-Army
RANGE: 1~50
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TARGETS: 100 people

It is originally the poisonous sake drank by Shuten Douji given to her by Minamoto no Raikou and her the Four Heavenly Kings. Upon becoming a Heroic Spirit, this poisoned sake has been sublimated into the general existence of "Shuten Douji". The sake's only purpose for her is to pollute the surroundings with poison all at once. By manipulating its concentration, she can bestow every negative status aliment (reduces debuff resistance, defense, attack, np damage, critical attack chance, and seals skill). If it is at its greatest concentration, it will decompose all of the living body, leaving nothing but a few bones behind. The gourd for the sake, held under her arm, can further change into a weapon that holds a sword in its mouth. (video representation).

★ BONE COLLECTOR: RIOT OF A HUNDRED FLOWERS
RANK: B
TYPE: Anti-Personnel
RANGE: 1
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TARGETS: 1 person

An ability she was endowed with since birth; Shuten Douji literally “debones” her victim completely. She extracts the bones without ever spilling blood. As long as she does not make a mistake in the location of the attack, the opponent will immediately die. Whether it is inherited from her father who is worthy of being a malevolent god, whether it is inherited from her cannibalistic mother, or whether it is an ability that originated from Shuten Douji herself, it is unclear. Now that she exists as a Heroic Spirit, this ability, or technique otherwise, has been transformed into an Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm. One should not necessarily assume that the purpose of doing this is to kill the opponent, but if she feels like doing it, this operates as a Noble Phantasm with an exceedingly high probability of causing instant death.
