Chou Kocho is the 15 year old younger sister of Shinobu Kocho, as well as the only other user of Insect Breathing. ((NOT CANNON!!)) Along with Kanao, she is a Tsugoku. She is hashira level, she is just not a hashira due to the fact that Shinobu Kocho is the insect hashira.

Chou has an adorable and very cute appearance. Chou is very small compared to other people of her age. She has messy shoulder length white hair, with black tips and kind, cat-like eyes of a grayish lavender color, a horizontal bar of much paler purple visible across them near the bottom. She is rather short in height, being around 4'11 and weighing only 90 pounds. This sounds like something bad, but this gives her insane speed and agility.

She wears a black hashira uniform with a purple and white collar around her neck, with a pair of matching black tabi socks and hakama pants, tucked into black Kyahan fading into pale turquoise. Atop her uniform she wears a black haori. The haori fades from black to a purple at the bottom, with white stripes and lines that form the pattern of falling leaves. She wears a pair of black and white zori, with black straps for footwear. She wears a white belt that fades to a pink at the back. Tucked neatly in between her belt and waist is a white Saya, outlined in purple.

Inside her Saya is her katana, which is not a normal katana. Like Shinobu Kocho, Chou uses a heavily modified Nichirin Katana forged by Tecchin Tecchikawahara. It is the same as any katana from the handle to slightly above the hilt, but above that, the weapon loses its blade and is replaced by a rod. It ends in a needle-like tip, resembling an insect's stinger in appearance and function. The "stinger" is designed for injection of wisteria poison into demons, as Shinobu and Chou uses her medical expertise to replace her relative lack of strength and inability to decapitate demons. The katanas handguard is in the shape of a pale white four-leaf clover, with the handle being the normal length and purple and black, with cloth wrapped around it for grip. There is a purple and black bow wrapped around the edge of it, which was gifted to her by Tanjiro Kamado.

## Personality

Chou Kocho is sad, quiet and very kind. She comes off as strict sometimes, training herself and comrades to the point of passing out. She is kind to people, but is always somewhat saddened by the passing of her sister, Kanae Kocho. She is strict when it comes to training, but mostly keeps to herself due to her immense shyness. She has a little crush on Tanjiro, but knows that Kanao has a crush on him, so she does not bother when it comes to Tanjiro.

Despite her immense sadness, she acts kind and happy around other people, not wanting them to worry about her. Sometimes she is seen crying alone in trees, or just overall being alone and sad. She has a lot of pent up anger and hate to demons, but never shows it. She is easily flustered, so she just hides her face in her haori most of the time. Due to her immense shyness, she barley talks to people and tends to get ridiculed for it.

She loves to help people, as that is one of the only things that puts a genuine smile on her face. She spends most of her time around the butterfly mansion, helping people whom were injured in fights and taking care of them to make sure that they don't die.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

As a high ranking member of the demon slayer corps, Chou is among some of the most skilled and talented members. Despite her young age and small appearance, she is very fast, agile and talented. She is not a hashira for the soul reason that Shinobu Kocho is the hashira of the breathing style that Chou uses. Despite her talent, there are a few other reasons why she is so talented.

**Enhanced Eyesight:** Like Kanao, Chou possess some of the most insane eyesight in the entire corps. She can spot an ant crawling from over ten feet away with ease, and this ability allows her to catch opponents off guard by seeing their attacks beforehand and quickly reacting to catch them off guard. This is shown to it's full display when along with Kanao and Inosuke, Chou fights Doma. She manages to predict and accurately dodge several of Domas attacks when he is trying. This even shocked Doma, making him have to try a little bit to actually manage to hit her.

**Keen Intellect:** Paired with her insane eyesight, she possess a very keen mind. She is able to memorize hundreds of different kinds of poisons, and use them differently in battles. This gives her the slight edge over her opponents, and even shocks Doma when she shows off her advanced knowledge over poisons as well as how cunning she is. Chou is also a very cunning fighter, making plans in split second time frames, as well as developing new strategies to win against her opponents.

**Unbreakable Will:** Like most demon slayers, Chou possess a very strong will. This allows her to keep fighting no matter what her injuries are, shown when she gets fatally injured when she fights against Doma alongside Kanao and Inosuke. She brushes it off and stands back up and keeps fighting.

**Medical Skill:** Whilst not being as skilled as Kanao or Shinobu within the medical field, Chou is still very skilled and talented, being able to heal her own injuries in the middle of a very intense fight, as well as help Inosuke and Kanao heal their own wounds. She is constantly there to help people who are injured, using her medical experience to save several of the hashira during the final battle against Muzan, preventing both Mitsuri and Obanai from dying.

### Physical Abilities

**Enhanced Agility:** Agility is the key aspect to Insect Breathing, and due to Chous small size she can easily navigate and avoid attacks with ease, her agility almost on par with Shinobus, and since she is smaller it allows her to have a much easier time dodging attacks. This pared with her speed makes for an insane combo, allowing her to effortless dodge attacks instead of being forced to block them. This makes up for her weak arm strength, and allows her to keep up with upper moon demons.

**Immense Speed & Reflexes:** To pair with her agility, Chou has insanely fast reflexes. This allows her to effortless evade demons attacks and attack them before demons can even register what just happened. She is able to manuever through forests with ease, leap very high into the air and much more, even impressing the likes of the upper moons that she has faced, taking them by surprise when her small body moves so fast to the point where she is just a small blur.

**Immense Stamina & Endurance:** As a high ranking demon slayer, Chou possess insane stamina and endurance, to the point where she can last a very long time in fights without breaking a single sweat. She continued to fight against Doma despite her badly injured body, keeping pace with how she was before she even started the fight.

### Supernatural Abilities

Chou possess the strange ability to cool her body down in seconds. This allows her to keep fighting no matter how hot her body is getting, as she can just cool down in a mere seconds. No one knows how she can do this, and Chou does not even know herself, she just does it.

## Fighting Style

**Master Swordswoman:** As a high ranking demons layer, Chou has some of the best swordsmanship in the entire organization, the swordsmanship going on par with the likes of hashira and even upper moons. Due to the structure of her sword, she cannot block attacks, so she relies fully on her agility and ability to dodge attacks, whilst using her katana to thrust and attempt to find the proper poison formula to kill her opponents.

### Breathing Style

**Insect Breathing** (蟲 (むし) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) , *Mushi no kokyū*?): A Breathing Style created by Shinobu Kocho, who designed it to compensate for her lack of physical strength to cut off a demon's head.

### Techniques

* **Butterfly Dance: Caprice** (蝶 (ちょう) ノ舞 (まい) 　戯 (たわむ) れ, *Chō no mai: Tawamure*?)- The user leaps into the air and charges towards the opponent, stinging them multiple times with their blade to inject poison in just seemingly one strike.

* **Dance of the Bee Sting: True Flutter** (蜂 (ほう) 牙 (が) ノ舞 (まい) 　真 (ま) 靡 (なび) き, *Hōga no mai: Manabiki*?) - The user dashes at their target at blinding speeds and uses the momentum of their speed to then strengthen a single thrust into their opponent and inject poison into them.

* **Dance of the Dragonfly: Compound Eye Hexagon** (蜻 (せい) 蛉 (れい) ノ舞 (まい) 　複 (ふく) 眼 (がん) 六 (ろっ) 角 (かく) , *Seirei no mai: Fukugan Rokkaku*?) - A six strike attack with which the user aims to strike and inject their target with multiple doses of poison at the target's weak spots (such as the neck, heart, torso, etc.) in order to kill them with a large dose of poison.

* **Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag** (蜈 (ご) 蚣 (こう) ノ舞 (まい) 　百 (ひゃく) 足 (そく) 蛇 (じゃ) 腹 (ばら) , *Gokō no mai: Hyakusoku Jabara*?) - An attack with which the user uses their full speed to run a zigzag pattern that confuses their opponent in order to create an opening for them to directly stab their opponent's neck and inject poison to kill them, with the stab's force and power being further enhanced by the momentum of their speed. Doma noted that the sheer speed of this technique is strong enough to destroy an entire wooden bridge.

### Chou's personal Techniques

* **Dance of the Moth: Wild flutter -** Chou assumes a low stance before rushing at her opponent with blitzing speeds, effortless evading and avoiding all attacks thrown at her while unleashing several small but powerful thrusts at her opponent at every part of the opponents body, making it hard for her opponent to block them all.

* **Dance of the Mosquito: Poison Stinger -** Chou preforms an upward thrust with her katana through her opponents jaw before kicking them back and easily catching up to them whilst they fly back and deliver several different thrusts with her katana.

* **Dance of the Fly: Wings before Dawn -** Chou leaps into the air before landing on a high point, and jumps from high point to high point using her agility and speed making it hard to track her before leaping down at her opponent from the sky and delivering a very powerful thrust as she slides to a stop. (Works best inside a forest where there are trees or different highpoints to leap off from.)
