Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Artificial Arm: Kasen's bandaged right arm is actually artificial, and consists of a vaporous black smoke. Kasen is capable of remotely controlling it and can detach it from her body. Her arm is also capable of crushing vengeful spirits, removing them from the process of reincarnation entirely in the process.
*Fangshu: Due to special hermit arts, Kasen's home can only be found through a special path (which she changes, regularly), and snow and rain do not fall around her house.
*Guiding of animals: Kasen can communicate with and guide animals, including cryptids, beast youkai, and dragons, and knows very much about all animals in general. She knows the antidotes to obscure venoms and the process that an animal undergoes when becoming a youkai. She also employs a number of trained animals that she uses as servants and helpers, who she can summon to her side at a moment's notice. These animals include, amongst many others, monkeys, snakes, birds, and a giant eagle.
