## Relationships

### Hiougi Karura

The Tengu of Kyoto and Matora's childhood friend. Although the Nue can sometimes get on the Tengu's nerve, Matora listens to Hiougi's orders and cares for her dearly. This dedication includes supporting Karura's feelings for Kogarashi. She is even willing to do a embarrassingly perverted action towards Kogarashi to make Karura more forward with her feelings.

### Nonko Arahabaki

A member of the Yoinozaka and a resident of the Yuragi-Sou. Matora greatly admires the Yoinozaka and wished to fight her the moment they met. She was disappointed when she was able to beat Nonko easily and was willing to give Nonko alcohol to get a more challenging fight. After the Hiougi Estate Arc, Matora's admiration for Nonko persists that she develops a more friendly but also somewhat one-sided rivalry with the Yoinozaka. While Nonko isn't always interested in battling with Matora, she is willing to oblige to the Nue's request and spar with her sometimes. Matora would sometimes help Nonko in her manga.

### Fuyuzora Kogarashi

Matora appears to respect Kogarashi as the object of Karura's affection and as the 7th Yatahagane. Although Fuyuzora is a Yatahagane, one of the Three Big Families, Matora doesn't appear to be interested in fighting him. She is willing to do perverted situations with Kogarashi for Karura's sake.

### Makyouin Ouga

The 6th Generation Yatahagane and Fuyuzora Kogarashi's master. Matora immediately presumed that Ouga wanted to fight her on their first encounter but was easily beaten. After the Byakuei incident, Matora would seek advice from Ouga on how to get stronger.
