Mujōna Kibutsuji

## Debut

Part One, Chapter Forty-seven

*With my help, he has already achieved his dreams. Its only right for him to step aside and let me achieve mine.*

**Mujōna Kibutsuji (無 (む) 情 (じょう) な 鬼 (き) 舞 (ぶ) 辻 (つじ) , *Kibutsuji Mujōna*?)** is a major antagonist of the Eyes Like Rubies series. She is the wife of Muzan Kibutsuji and the corrupted form of her former self, Himari Maeda. She is also the mother of Mugoi and Mujihi Kibutsuji, who are the first Purebloods to exist.

## Appearance

Mujōna is a tall, voluptuous woman with a hourglass physique and a light brown complexion. She has upturned almond-shaped eyes with notably long top eyelashes that point upwards, flare out at the ends, and long bottom eyelashes. Her eyes are a brilliant red color with vertical slit pupils, like a feline or reptile. Her eyebrows are thin with a subtle arch. Her lips are full with a prominent, defined Cupid's bow and are usually painted blood-red.

She has wavy, jet black waist-length hair that curves to the right at the ends in its natural state. Her ears are sharp with pointed tips. She possesses long stiletto claws that are powder white and razor-sharp. When feeling heightened emotions, two black, curved horns may protrude from either side of her head. The mark where Muzan claimed her is on her left shoulder and is his initials (M.K).

Mujōna dons lengthy silk imperial kimonos (jūnihitoe) and dresses that are usually black or white with rose motifs. She prefers wearing attire with many layers and long, flowing sleeves in order to properly execute one of her techniques and hide her face behind it; one of her most prominent quirks. Her feet are typically never shown, but she wears prestigious getas with lacquer finishes.

#### Full Demon Form

Mujōna's hair turns completely white and moves on its own, flowing through the air. An embellished solar symbol appears on her forehead and radiates light. She gains black shading around the inner and outer edges of her eyes that looks like bold, dramatic winged eyeliner, alluding to a swan. Demon crests that look like cracked lines and thorny rose vines circle all over her body, and a horizontal line of large rose tattoo-like symbols line her right thigh. Her hands become slender and elongated, and her claws lengthen drastically. Her fangs also become very prominent.

## History

#### Creation

Mujōna was created by Muzan Kibutsuji when he injected Himari with large amounts of his blood and essence, thus corrupting her even further. This altered her body composition completely and gave her an additional six hearts and four brains. Because she was now his female counterpart, Muzan named her 'Mujōna.' Her body was altered even further when Muzan encased her in a demonic cocoon stemming from his hands. With his newfound power from having ingested the Blue Spider Lily, Muzan 'perfected' her by giving her a physique more to his liking. He enlarged her breasts, widened her hips, and made her a few inches taller.

After her creation, Muzan told her that her purpose was to help him lead and ensure the survival of the demon race, which she acknowledged.

## Abilities & Powers

**Overall Abilities:**

* **Demonic Blood:** Like Muzan, Mujōna's blood possesses powerful transformative qualities that turns humans into Demons. This gives those who consume her blood access to regenerative abilities, immortality, accelerated growth, enhanced physical prowess and even gives them access to unique supernatural abilities called **Blood Demon Arts.**
* **Telepathy:** Mujōna can hear any demons' thoughts in a close range and telepathically speak to them wherever.

### Physical Abilities

* Enhanced Strength:
* Enhanced Speed: Mujōna bursts into a sprint and hover over the ground for short periods of time, albeit generally being slow.

### Supernatural Abilities

* **Kugutsu:** Mujōna can conjure a puppet of herself to complete certain tasks without putting herself in any danger. It debuted as a faceless female in black Victorian clothing, but later progresses to look like an exact replica of her over time. It acts as a substitute for when Mujōna doesn’t want to appear in person.
* **Shuriken Generation:** One of Mujōna’s first abilities shown was her ability of creating shurikens made from her own flesh and blood. This was shown in Part One when she first met the Twelve Kizuki.
* **Subtle Body Examination:** Mujōna is shown to be capable of seeing one's physical strength and true emotions just by analyzing at them. This technique also allows the user to see various energies and auras, such as spiritual energy.
* **Soulshifting:** Mujōna can mimick the presences and auras of others. When she first confronted Giyu after the timeskip, she took on Shinobu’s presence to deceive him.
* **Soul Stealing:** Mujōna can steal one's soul and store them in her subconscious.
* **Reification:** Mujōna is able to produce a tangible form of one's soul and other abstract things, such as corruption. She uses the tangible form of corruption to awaken one’s demon side and unlock more power, thus forcing them to disregard their humanity.

## Fighting Style

#### Blood Demon Art (血 (けっ) 鬼 (き) 術 (じゅつ) , *Kekkijutsu*?):

1. **Poisonous Floral Fumes (有 (ゆう) 毒 (どく) な () 花 (はな) 煙 (けむり) , *Yūdokuna Hana no Kemuri*?)** - Mujōna emits a sweet, floral smelling miasma that can poison, disorient, paralyze, and inhibit victims from thinking clearly, eventually causing death. She is shown to be capable of emitting various miasmas for other purposes, such as pacifying, seducing, and intoxicating others. When used, this technique induces one to see smoky, floral, ribbon-like visualizations.
	* **Rose Bouquet - Besotted (薔 (ば) 薇 (ら)  花 (はな) 束 (たば) ・迷 (まよ) う, *Baranohanataba - Muchū*?)** - Mujōna uses this miasma as her signature fragrance. It is said to smell like 'roses, vanilla, and all things good,' implying that the latter fragrance note depends on the particular individual inhaling it. It gives those who've inhaled it a sense of comfort and happiness, subconsciously making them yearn to be in her presence. Although its a poison, its virtually harmless and is used not only to enhance her mystifying allure, but to help others discern between her and Muzan's presence.
	* **Love Incense - White Day (愛 (あい) のお香 (こう) ・ホワイトデー, *Ai no o Kaori - Howaitodē*?)** - Mujōna uses this aphrodisiac miasma solely for romantic purposes, proclaiming its scent as the 'very manifestation of love, romance, and beauty.' It smells heavily of cocoa and tonka bean, and becomes more potent for seduction.
	* **Black Rose - Corpse Flower (黒 (くろ) い 薔 (ば) 薇 (ら) ・遺 (い) 体 (たい) 花 (はな) , *Kuroi Bara - Shitai no Hana*?)** -
2. **Lotus Silk (蓮 (はす) 絹 (きぬ) , *Hasu no Kinu*?)** - Mujōna is able to move the layers and sleeves of her attire at will. She can distort the fabric of her clothing, making it expand and contract to limitless lengths.
	* **Clutch (握 (にぎ) る () , *Kuratchi*?)** - Mujōna wraps her victims in a cocoon with the layers and sleeves of her attire, incapacitating and depriving them of oxygen whilst cutting into their flesh.

### Techniques

* **Sempiternal Shards of a Waning Moon (不 (ふ) 変 (へん) 破 (は) 片 (へん) の下 (した) 火 (び) 月 (つき) , *Otoroeru Tsuki no Eien no Hahen*?)** - Mujōna releases razor-sharp, crescent moon-shaped blades from her folding fan at her target.
* **Black Blood - Rambles (黒 (こっ) 血 (けつ) ・ 蔓バラ (つる) , ***Black Blood - Rambles***?)** - Mujōna uses her own flesh and blood to create several thorny black vines that stem from her folding fan to entangle her target.

#### Joint Attacks

* **Trois Fleurs (三 (さん) 花 (はな) , *Mittsu no Hana*?)** - Hakanai, Hikiharau, and Mujōna conjure a circular barrier that fills with cherry blossom and rose petals around the outer edges, then releases a long-ranged cloud of poisonous miasma.
* **Family Ties (族 (ぞく) 絆 (きずな) , *Kazoku no Kizuna*?) - ████**

## Equipment

**Silk Folding Fan:** Mujōna possesses a silk folding fan that Muzan gifted her, fashioned from his own flesh, blood, and bone. It acts as an extension of her flesh and is much less used as a weapon, as it is primarily used to complement her elegance and beauty. Her silk folding fan is black with lacquered ribs formed from bone, lace trimming, and has silver patterns resembling densely clustered roses.

## Trivia

* Mujōna hates Marechi blood and only consumed it during her pregnancy.
* Mujōna is regarded as tall by others in the series, but her elevated footwear makes her look taller than she truly is.
* Mujōna’s love for white roses alludes to the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology.
* Mujōna is inspired by Kagura from InuYasha!

## Quotes

* (To Hakanai & Hikiharau) "My Sweets, we’ll do nothing to him as of now. Why blow out a candle when you can watch it melt and burn out by itself? Besides, we have work to do. Perhaps Nezuko will take care of him. She’s his weakness and he cannot resist his desire to truly be with her. It’s only a matter of time before she reveals herself to him and begs for him to claim her, yes?"
* (To Giyu) "Why won’t you just submit? My blood courses through your veins, and that body of yours is willing to serve me, but your mind isn’t. Why? Is it your moralistic principles that’s keeping you defiant, or is it something else?"
* (To Shinobu) "All of the senses are crucial, but in my opinion, **olfaction** is key. Living things are constantly breathing involuntary all of the time, which is a weakness one must take advantage of. This technique... will surely be of use against those who use Total Concentration Breathing, yes?"
* (To Akaza) "If you so much as move your lips to say that cursed name again, I'll rip your heart out."
