Kishimo Mikoto

**Kishimo Mikoto** is one of the three great generals who work directly under Taishakuten. Among the Jūniten, she is in the circle of it's most powerful members. She is praised in the modern era as the Devil Mother or **Kishimojin**, a deity that is known to protect children from demons and evil spirits. She is a creation deity who received most of her powers from her mother, Amaterasu. She is known for being sage=like, enlightened and well beyond her years in knowledge. Despite her overwhelming power, she is not a fighter and only participates in battle to defend others rather than to pursue an enemy. Zenkenjo, The Palace of Correct Views, was created by her; made to be an impenetrable fortress where evil and it's roots could not prevail.

## Personality

She is the mediator among the twelve guardians, a fellow diplomat much like Benzaiten and Bishamonten. She wants to create a world where all people can thrive together and co-exist, regardless of their origin, nationality or race. Her ultimate goal is to free all people from the forces of the universe and it's people, in the philosophical sense of not experiencing negativity anymore. She treats all of the guardians as if they were her own children and earnestly checks up on them at any given moment. It is said that like Suiten, many people confided in her about their issues and she made it her mission to help however she could.

## Appearance

Kishimo is dressed in a white garment tailored from high-quality cloth that features red trimming around the opening on both arms. Another garment is worn over the first one, featuring intricate embroideries that make good use of vibrant purple and red threads. She additionally wears a jade bead neckless that completes her outfit and would typically be found around the neck of a dignitary. Her sleevelets consist of dark purple dyed clothing, wrapped around the wrists, fastened in place with a white cord. Purple dye was incredibly rare in ancient times and as a result, only nobles would ever be seen wearing clothes dyed with it. Her legwear is crafted from the same high-quality cloth as her garment. Each leg is tied below the knees with red cord so that one can move in them unhindered. The hems have also been dyed red to give the garment a distinct border. Lastly, she wears a pair of shoes crafted from the tanned hide of a beast presented to her by a retainer. It is fastened around the ankles with white cords and the shoes are easy for her to walk in.

## Abilities

**Greater Lord Physiology**: As deities that are widely worshipped by humans or other beings, greater lords are a higher tier of the deity classification. They generally rule over one or more concepts to a more significant level than their lesser counterparts. They are able to achieve things that other people simply cannot: creating realms, weapons or objects of divine or demonic power out of nothing but their own essence as if it were child's play. While not as powerful as a Demiurge, they still have a great deal of influence and control over a certain aspect of something, be it a particular mythology or the world that they live in. Their speed, strength, coordination and other physical capabilities are otherworldly, allowing them to easily compete with the greatest angels, spirits, demons or anything otherwise. Like angels, their blood consists of aureum, a substance that is harmful to beings that either harbor or were created from negative energy. They are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield and only grow stronger through the worship that they receive.
