Tomie Kawakami (Tomie)

Tomie Kawakami (川上 富江, Kawakami Tomie) is the eponymous main antagonist and of the manga series and anime of the same name, as well as the 9 live-action adaptational films. She is is an incredibly beautiful woman with the ability to morph into clones of others and infect people, effectively transforming them into one of her. While she has the appearance of a human, she has countless bizarre biological abilities that make it unclear exactly what she truly is.
==Personality==
Tomie was once a ditzy and kind-hearted yet still having a slight manipulative streak. She was oblivious to her own beauty, and as a result, only had one true friend and was a frequent target of teasing and bullying from other girls. However, she lost all of her original kindness once she gained regenerative abilities, instead becoming the living embodiment of lust, jealousy, greed, envy, and wrath. She is as self-destructive as one can be, yet always manages to make it out alive no matter how perilous the situation in question may be thanks to said powers regenerative ability. A sociopath at heart, Tomie will willingly exploit others for no reason other than entertaining herself before discarding them or allowing herself to be killed by them. Once she regenerates from her numerous deaths, the first thing on her mind will typically be to seek revenge on the perpetrator barring extraordinary conditions. She believes that no one else's life has any purpose other than to serve her, and is completely devoid of any sort of empathy.
Tomie has a special distaste towards men, viewing them as interchangeable and dumb accessories while being usually dismissive of women unless one gets in the way of her goals or can be used as a pawn by her to achieve something she strives for (something that's mainly displayed in the film series). She doesn't take being rejected well, with the rare instances of such an event occurring having her being left in a state of shock before obsessing over the person in question for a while and eventually being overcome with rage.
Tomie's killing schemes generally rely on her manipulating the victim to do the dirty work for her, however, there are occasions where she herself will take matters into her own hands, especially in scenarios where the victim is vulnerable or unable to fight back. She is also the very definition of a consummate liar, something she uses as one of her numerous manipulation tactics. The people she transforms into her personal are like-minded and capable of forming short term alliances for the sake of mutual gain or obtaining vengeance. They are normally very quick to turn on each other at the first opportunity in order to avoid having to "share". Ironically, in spite of fire being her biggest weakness, one of her many clones had developed a fascination with fire and arson, though this may be due to the suffering it brings or her personal fascination with the scarlet color of the flames (which is seemingly her favorite color) rather than the act of burning or being burned in it of itself.
