Fuyuki

## Portrayal

**Fuyuki** is a primary antagonist in Demon Slayer: Blade of the Night. She is the daughter of Hisame, and a Human/Demon Hybrid.

## **Appearance:**

Fuyuki is a relatively tall young girl with a pale, sickly appearance. She has extremely light teal, almost white hair tied in a bun. Notably, the tips of her fingers are darkened, as if she is afflicted by frostbite.

Fuyuki wears a winter kimono, colored black, with what appears to be a haori made from fur. Fuyuki occasionally creates ice armor, having a pattern not much different to samurai plate armor.

## **Personality:**

Fuyuki is an outwardly proud, violent and unstable girl with a short-fused personality. She does not take lightly to insults, or rather what she considers to be insults.

Fuyuki seems to dislike humanity for reasons yet unknown, but her distaste for humans is great enough so that she does not tolerate being referred to as one, even as a hybrid.

Fuyuki cares a lot for her father, and sought to avenge him by bringing her uncle Kosui. Fuyuki has a boyfriend whose identity and motives are unknown

## **Synopsis:**

Nearly nothing about Fuyuki's background is unknown, other than that she had a human mother.

## **Abilities:**

**Immense Strength:** Fuyuki is quite strong, as she is a half-demon.

**Immense Speed:** Fuyuki was able to keep up with Fubuki's speed, while also having enough agility to fight while sliding through ice.

## **Fighting Style:**

**Capable Hand-To-Hand Combatant:** Fuyuki is at least able to hold herself in combat, not displaying the ability to use any weapons yet.

### **Blood Demon Art:**

**Cryokinesis:** Fuyuki is able to summon and control ice, which becomes crimson in color when strengthened and put out at max power. She has utilized various techniques with this ability, and despite being powerful, it is implied that Fuyuki herself suffers from frostbite because of it.

**Hydrokinesis:** Fuyuki has displayed a limited control over water, specifically with her Funayurei Sea technique. The extent of this ability is unknown

#### **Techniques:**

* **Pillaring Womb of Ubume** *(Ubume Botai no Hashira-Tate):* Fuyuki waves her hand, forming a massive wall of ice to protect herself and her allies. It can also be shattered remotely to create a torrent of ice shards.

* **Onryo Vengeful Spear** *(Onryo no Fukushu Yari):* Fuyuki creates a massive spear of ice in her hand, throwing it against her target. The spear will break into deadly shards should it miss.

* **Funayurei Sea** *(Kaito no Funayurei):* Fuyuki stomps on the ground, creating a wave of freezing cold water, riddled with fish made from ice. It is unknown what happens if any of the fish strike.

##### **Absolute Territory:**

**Everlasting Frozen Purgatory** *(Fukyu Tokketsu Yomi):* Fuyuki's Territory spawns a large dome of ice, encasing her and her targets. The dome also spreads ice through the ground, making it incredibly difficult for those unaccustomed to fight while slipping around. Fuyuki is also able to spawn whatever ice structures she wants inside the Territory.

* **Snowfall:** Fuyuki is able to shatter the dome of her Territory, to cause a torrent of ice to fall onto her opponents.

## **Battles:**

* Koriru vs Fubuki and Yorumaru
* Koriru vs Fubuki, Kanjuro, Ryo and Yorumaru

## **Trivia:**

* Fuyuki's name means "Wintry Tree", while her pseudonym [Koriru] means "Penalty, Punishment". She is based on Chione from Greek Mythology.
* All of Fuyuki's attacks are named after types of spirits in Japanese Mythology:
	+ [Pillaring Womb of Ubume] is named after the Ubume spirit, which is the soul of a woman who died at childbirth. The "Pillar" part of the name comes from the practice of Hitobashira, an ancient Shinto Custom where a woman and her child would be sacrificially buried under a bridge's pillars to protect it from harm
	+ [Onryo Vengeful Spear] is named after the Onryo, who are, by necessity, vengeful spirits, with the spear tying both with Fuyuki's quest for revenge, and the concept of a divine retribution.
	+ [Funayurei Sea] comes from the Funayurei, a spirit of those who died at sea. They are said to have scales and resemble fish. They were said to fill boats with water to make them sink, tying into the flooding aspect of the technique
