Kazeya

(Non-canon)

Kazeya Fujiiro (藤色 カゼヤ) is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps. Former Tsuguko of Kanae Kocho.

## Appearance

Kazeya is a fairly built young girl who has bright golden-honey coloured eyes, freckle blemishes, and dark hair that the fades into a blonde yellow. Her hair is styled in a way that has her bangs settled in the middle with two protruding hair tufts at the sides, two locks of hair growing over the bangs, which are braided at the ends, and two more locks that are tied loosely behind. Unlike the other butterfly girls, she wears a tsumami kanzashi flower on the side of her head.

Kazeya wears the purple-tinted version of the Demon Slayer uniform. A gakuran jacket with a high and stiff collar, a white belt and pleated skirt that's tied high up her waist. On top of the uniform, she wears a haori with a purple gradient, patterned with wisteria and smaller floral designs, and two white stripes at the cuffs. She wears tabi socks that reach right below her knees and zōri with teal straps.

## Personality

Kazeya is a composed and cheerful slayer. When surrounded by fellow demon slayers, she is lively and encouraging towards them. At times, she shares the same behaviour as Tengen Uzui, letting rather inappropriate remarks escape her mind. She does not let anyone put her down and is willing to prove herself as a skillful swordsman. Despite her age, she is a lover for sake.

When on the job, she takes it very seriously but often prefers missions accompanied by other slayers over solo missions. She shows little empathy towards demons and will naturally slaughter then without any hesitation. However, there are times when Kazeya would fly into a rage. Which is why she would rather be surrounded by people during missions, in case she becomes uncontrollable.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Abilities:** Kazeya has shown to be a strong fighter with her little knowledge but quick reflexes. Often times, she cannot think for anything else besides beheading the demon. Kazeya often looks up to the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, as she describes him to be a great instructor. In certain situations (like in the Infinity Castle), Kazeya utilizes her strength to hold her former companion, Tsukiko— who was the new Upper Moon 5 after Gyokko's death— in his place until he was decapitated.

* **Enhanced Strength:** Despite her lack of knowledge in fighting styles, Kazeya posses a great amount of physical strength as shown when holding Tsukiko in place for En to give him the final blow.

* **Immense Stamina & Endurance:** Despite being injured from her last battle, she still kept on fighting until the very last second. Her training with other Hashiras served her well.

* **Freezing Mint -** A distant attack technique used for both offense and defense, the user quickly sends out multiple slashes of air towards the opponent that trust and pierce through their body, paralyzing them for a few seconds.
* **Scattering Spores -** An offense technique that scatters slashes of air around the opponent without them knowing, the user moves around the battlefield in a quick motion, distorting the atmosphere to the point where the opponent is confused.
* **Climbing Vines -** Another distant attack that allows a single slash to branch out, cutting everything in its path within a 10-meter range, depending on the amount of force the user inflicts.
