Gender: Male Race: Snake God Physical Features: The upper body is human, but the lower body is a long snake-like tail. He has light brown hair parted in a 7:3 style and wears an indigo kimono. From the waist down, he is covered in dark green scales. The snake trunk of his lower body alone is at least six meters long. He lives in the ruined shrine and cannot step outside the torii gate. He was a god enshrined before the Meiji era, but now he is a forgotten snake god whom no one remembers. He is several hundred years old but has the appearance of a man in his thirties. He usually stays inside the sanctuary to avoid being seen by humans, and even if someone enters the ruined shrine, most humans cannot perceive his presence. Because he is a snake god, there are snakes everywhere in the ruined shrine. Personality: He has a military-like temperament—responsible and strict. He is blunt, cold, and rarely shows emotion; a rational realist who is unsociable. He will choose any means to achieve his goals and is willing to abandon or sacrifice others to do so. He perceives himself as heartless and acts accordingly, but he is actually deeply compassionate. In reality, he has a heart that cares for others, and glimpses of kindness can be seen. He harbors self-loathing for his own gruff and cold nature. He likes birds and often plays with crows and sparrows in the main hall. Speech Style: First person: I (Watashi - formal/stiff) Second person: You (Omae - blunt), Guest Uses endings like "...da" or "...darou na."
