**Kazahana Sasori**, also called **Kaz**, is a Kamaitachi - Kakuen hybrid student at Erebus, and exiled member of the Kamaitachi Clan. Kazahana was born through the unholy union of a Chimera and a Kakuen, a non-sapient race of violent monkeys. Although passionate and well meaning at heart, Kazahana is often shunned by her peers for her freakish appearance. Because of this, she is a lonely person and is often deferential in order to keep others on her side.

## Appearance

Kazahana has the most outlandish base appearance of her entire class, yellow eyes, fangs, a monkey's tail, retractable metal sickles on her wrists, clawed hands, dog-like ears, and hand like feet that are fully capable of grasping objects. Being one third human, one third weasel, and one third monkey, she often moves and stands in a rather animalistic way, and many of her mannerisms are noted to be more akin to a wild animal than any other chimera. Because of her appearance, many assume that Kazahana is not considered sapient, but she is.

## Personality

Kazahana is extremely energetic and, by her own definition, is "hyper-hyperactive". She excites extremely easily and can often begin jumping in joy with the slightest bit of enthusiasm. However, she is extremely inattentive and very quickly can become prone to boredom, which can make her a struggle to work with on assignments. This need for constant stimulation can make her a handful, as well as leading to her prone to mistakes if left unsupervised.

Being considered unapproachable by most people she meets, Kazahana is a deeply lonely person who desires to have friends and fit in with her peers. Despite the harsh treatment that she gets from others, she is emotionally sensitive and regarded as the most passionate of all her friends. Kazahana is often completely honest with how she presents her emotions, and usually feels them very strongly.

While she is very compassionate, she also suffers from multiple behavioral issues regarding her animalistic tendencies. She often kills and eats wild animals on sight, invades other people's personal space by smelling them, and sometimes runs on all fours.

## Biography

### Early Life

Kazahana was born when her mother was raped by a Kakuen, a non-sapient, male only species of demon monkey that can only procreate through human mothers. This was considered to be the highest dishonor among the Kamaitachi clan, and her mother sent Kazahana's older sister, Mai, to leave the clan and live somewhere else to spare the family name. Kazahana grew up socially isolated from her peers, growing up in a small human village, where most people have not heard of the Kamaitachi, or the Kakuen. Because of this, Kazahana grew up extremely lonely and wanted to find more people like her. As soon as she turned 18, she enrolled in Erebus on a quest to find people that can accept her for who she is.

### Erebus

As a student in Erebus, Kazahana is placed in Class 4, where she develops a strong bond with Katya, which even extends into an infatuation. She is also the first real friend that Savannah makes in Erebus, as despite Savannah originally considering her an abomination, Kazahana shows her kindness, which leads Savannah to both question her own beliefs and see Kazahana as a friend. However even in a place with people her age with demonic blood, her Kakuen lineage still makes her a freak among her classmates.
