Odayaka Kagemori

**Odayaka Kagemori** (穏やか 影森) is a character in *Jujutsu Kaisen*. She is a semi-special sorcerer and a teacher at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

## Appearance

Kagemori is a mature and elegant looking woman with warm grey shoulder length hair with black roots and ends- usually gathered in a messy low ponytail with stray strands of hair framing her tan complextion. Her eyes are shown as green but they're actually contants. Her actual eye color is a dark brown. Her face can typically be found in an aloof (and mean looking) expression even though she's not actually mad most of the time. Kagemori also wears two silver star shaped earrings on each ear. Kagemori has a chubby yet curvy physique.

Kagemori dresses in very modern and chic clothing style for her age. She has many different outfits but her go-to clothing choice is tight black slacks with a white chiffion button-up shirt (with a few unbuttoned just to add her own flair to it) and white heels or flats. She doesn't mind accessorizing her outfits with expensive pearls or glamorous bracelets either.

As a student, Kagemori kept her hair long instead of her current shoulder length hair. She liked to tie her hair into low pigtails with bright orange scrunchies. Kagemori also left out two big strands of hair in front of her shoulders. She also wore a long black school uniform jacket with a skirt, black tights, and white tennis shoes.

## Personality

Kagemori has a cool and confident demeanor. She isn't afraid to speak her mind even if it may hurt the person recieving her words of truth. She doesn't mean to come off as rude but at the same time, she doesn't concern herself with the thought of if the person was offended or not. Cutting to the chase with each sentence, people make sure to keep away from her because of her strong personality. It doesn't seem like she minds though as she keeps working hard each and every day, striving to succeed in her goals.

While she doesn't seem friendly at first, she is polite and shows kindness in her own way to those who she considers close to her. She isn't really the warm type of person and she accepted that a long time ago but she manages to keep a balance between being serious and being lighthearted. When she is trying to express kindness, it can be a bit hard to tell. To the students, she understands they're young and have much to learn and as a teacher, she takes on the responsibility of teaching them the ways of the jujutsu world. However, she will stop at almost nothing to protect those she loves.

Kagemori held onto the ideals of "the strong should protect the weak". Originally, she thought of the jujutsu world as this community that protected Japan from evil and she believed they were incredible and that they were fighting for a noble cause. But as she grew, she started to think differently of the society she once commended. Little by little, Kagemori realized that there were so many things wrong with it. Kagemori eventually grew to hate it. She hated sorcerers- as she thought they did little to nothing for humanity. Kagemori questioned why. From her perspective, the place she called home was full of sin and vice and she was going to change that. However, Kagemori agknowledges that she is only one person and cannot do it alone. Instead of turning her back on everything she knew, she decided to rejoin the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, hoping to wake up without hating the world.

Although Kagemori doesn't like certain things about humanity, she still believes everyone has some kind of good within them. Some things are hopeless though, as she judges those who do not have a single drop of human in them with her blade.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall skill:** Kagemori is capable of taking down special grade curses at her current level. Recklessly jumping into battles, Kagemori is a dangerous foe to go against since she is skilled with the sword and can cut down curses 2 times her size with ease. Not only can she weave and slice through opponents quickly, her cursed technique gives her great strength and speed in return for her body parts. As a 2nd year student, she was able to take down a grade 1 curse but suffered serious injuries while doing so due to her lack of control in cursed energy at the time.

Kagemori tends to get carried away and fight more with her strength and speed instead of with her brain when she's in the moment but that doesn't mean she's not intelligent when it comes to other things.

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Many opponents usually underestimate Kagemori's martial arts skills since she is almost always seen fighting with a sword. While sparring with Geto Suguru in high school, her sword was knocked out of her hand but she caught Suguru off guard with her hand-to-hand fighting skills. Altough she is skilled in martial arts, Kagemori tends to favor her sword instead. Only when the situation calls for it, she switches to hand-to-hand combat.

**Expert Swordswoman**: As stated, Kagemori is very adept with the blade and is capable of taking down multiple opponents at once with her sword. Her sword fighting style is carried with great speed and accuracy. She knows where her opponent's weak spots are and how to hit them. Kagemori is able to slice curses so quickly to the point where they cannot regenerate.

**Weapon Master**: Not only is Kagemori proficient with her sword, she is also capable of using different weapons like spears, guns, knives, or other weapons. Her weapon of choice is a sword though.

**Immense Strength**: Normally, Kagemori is physically weak- she must use her technique in order to achieve enough strength to keep up with other sorcerers. However, once her technique is active, she is able to fling huge opponents like they weigh nothing and is able to punch a hole right through their bodies.

**Immense Speed**: Although Kagemori is physically weak, she is incredibly fast. Kagemori is also capable of moving her sword so quickly to the point where the eye cannot see the movement. She easily overwhelms her opponents with her quick reflexes and speed.
