Otonobe

**Otonobe**(大斗乃弁神, Great Entry Mistress) was the sister and wife of Otonoji. She was the Second-Generation Shinto Primordial Goddess of Villages, Alleyways, Sex and Family Traditions. She was a relatively high-ranking goddess in the pantheon during Kuninotokotachi's rule.

She was the fifth oldest daughter of Amenominakanushi and Benzaiten (and Bishamonten), as well as the younger sister of Kuninotokotachi, Toyokumono, Uhijini, Suhijini, Tsunugi and Ikugui. She is the older sister of Omodaru, Ayaka Shikone, Nihilion and Nihil. She had a child with Otonoji named Hotei.

## Appearance

Otonobe was a slim woman of average height. She had long turquoise hair that reaches her waist and blue eyes that are distinctively slanted at an downward angle. She wears fuchsia lipstick on her prominent lips. Otonobe held a strong resemblance to her mother.

She wore an extremely opulent red furisode kimono that sparkles in the sunlight, with the sleeve adorned with a peacock and flowers on it. She also had red-painted fingernails. She was considered the most beautiful woman amongst the Kamiyonanayo. Her beauty is so unfathomably great, that people can barely look directly at her. Her looks alone are enough to make people faint, go blind, and suffer severe blood loss via nose bleeds.

After leaving the Flower Capital, Otonobe left most of her hair down with her bangs covering her forehead while some of her hair is held up by pins in an elaborate bun behind her head. She took out most of its adornments except for one on each side of her head shaped like a pink rose with a gold dangler. She also stopped wearing her outer garment, wearing a pink furisode kimono with purple flower designs along the sleeves and the bottom. She also removed her red nail polish off her fingers.

## Personality

Otonobe was a very proud woman, unwilling to back down or show vulnerability in front of others. She claimed that this is due to being a daughter of Amenominakanushi. This is true even in the face of Primordial Entities, being unafraid of standing up to and even attacking Tianzi despite the heavy consequences. She sees nothing appealing about becoming his wife, and would rather be killed than live a submissive life. Because of her pride, she refuses to cry at the thought of reuniting with her brother, stating that as the daughter of Amenominakanushi, she must not cry. Despite this, she cried uncontrollably when Yasuie was killed, and also when she reunited with her guardian Kawamatsu.

However, Otonobe was infamous for actions she apparently committed in private as **Jinru-Qingfu**. She appeared to be a greedy and materialistic woman, as well as a good manipulator. After successfully swindling her victims, she treated them very coldly without any compassion or remorse, saying that she despises the poor. However, it was later revealed that the men she swindled were guilty of highly immoral acts, and she passed all the money she swindled to Omodaru for him to distribute to the poor denizens of Shinto rather than keeping it for herself.

In reality, Otonobe was an extremely kind and compassionate woman. She was kind to those she was close to, such as her friend Nezha, and she was appalled when Tianzi attempted to attack her, given that she was but a girl at that time. She was deeply sympathetic towards the many denizens of Shinto and those of the Lower Universes of Tao, who had been cruelly oppressed by Five Cosmology Gods. She broke down crying uncontrollably after Simianshen was executed. Despite her kindness, Otonobe had desire to hurt Five Cosmology Gods as she was not afraid to get her hands dirty.

Otonobe was also seen as a motherly figure for the 'low-class' of the Shinto Pantheon, relieving immense amounts of trouble from mortals and weak minor Kami. She desired to keep the paths of Shinto safe and peaceful, but was also willing to cooperate with lower-class Oni demons who were raiding out of necessity for survival, creating small gardens filled with fruits and artificial animals for the Oni to eat.

She had no trouble eating even molden bread like a peasant girl to bring herself down to the level of those she helped. However, Otonoji also reprimanded her for doing that, since he knew she was a glutton for sweets and sugar-frizzled rice balls.

Her will allowed her to be an unflinchable woman in almost any scenario and she had the odd ability to stare down beings who were leagues above her, like Tianzi. This was a trait that both of her parents shared and were known for, according to Amenotokotachi.

Her relationship with her husband resembled those of their parents, in that their goals were ultimately the same, but Otonoji's way was harsher and colder, while Otonobe was more gentle and warm. She also greatly enjoyed having sex with him on a near-daily basis.

In Ayaka Shikone's eyes, Otonobe was so pathetically pitiful that she wasn't even worth killing.

## Powers and Abilities

**Immense Strength:** Otonobe, despite being physically the weakest of the Kamiyonanayo, had insane strength for a supernatural being, far superior than regular Demons, Angels, Magicians or even God-Class Beings. She could pin Erebus down (although the latter wasn't really resisting) with her bare hands, which he applauded her for, saying that only his children and some of the stronger Titans could display this type of strength.

**Immense Speed**: Otonobe was able to traverse Erebus's mansion in less than a minute, blitzing all of the guards and his children, in order to get to him and Otonoji. Later on, she could react and evade the attacks of two younger Tao Deities and could also dodge attacks from the Yamata-no-Orochi.

**Immense Durability**: Otonobe was fragile, but only in the standards of Primordial Entities. According to Erebus, as a goddess and a supernatural, she was terrifyingly tough, being able to withstand the release of his true aura up close. She could also endure the Yamata-no-Orochi's deadly venom for extended period of time, before Ayaka Shikone finished her off.

**Supernatural Artistry**: Otonobe inherited some of Benzaiten's artistic talents, enabling her to make musical and artistic achievements that no mortal or lesser god who represented music/art could achieve.

**Space Manipulation**: Like Otonoji, Otonobe had fine control over space, greater than that of mortal or demonic clan members who had the same ability. She could control gravity and alter parts of space with a snap of the finger. She was also able to change the layout of Erebus's mansion to get faster to him and Otonoji. While fighting the Yamata-no-Orochi, Otonobe moved the space below her to shift her position fifty meters to the right, forcing her powerful blasts to miss the Takamagahara Village that was behind them.

**Season Manipulation**: Otonobe was able to manipulate the seasons, as well as draw from the concepts each season is connected.

**Aura Reflection**: Otonobe had a very unique ability that she developed on her own, which Erebus referred to as **Aura Reflection.** Compensating for the lack of her own divine power, Otonobe can instead masterfully weave senjutsu, ki, chi, chakra, space-time essence and natural energy to alter the trajectory of another being's aura back at them. She was first seen using this against Erebus when he released his true aura. She also displayed this while fighting a few of the Tao Gods, defeating them by hitting them with all her might as they released their aura.

**Senjutsu Expert**: Otonobe was skilled in using senjutsu. While her skills weren't on Tsunugi's level, she could still utilize it effeciently enough to create a technique that could even counter Erebus's true aura.

**Indominatable Will**: Like her parents, Otonobe's will did not waver in front of anyone, be they an Archdemon, a Great Old One or a Primordial Entity. Even though she felt raw fear from Erebus, she refused to show it and held her head proud, even looking down on the god. Even when she felt unbearable pain from Yamata-no-Orochi's venom, she did not run away from the battlefield and fought till her last breath.

## Equipment

**Tengoku-no-Shamisen** (てんごく の しゃみせん "Shamisen of Heaven"): Otonobe wielded a divine shamisen with great mastery and could play it almost as beautifully as Benzaiten could. With her music, she was able to lull the creatures of Tartarus to sleep and could later put Erebus's children under a strong illusion that they had trouble breaking. She would often play sensual tunes to make Tianzi abide her commands. Later, she almost brainwashed the Yamikami members to abandon their cause, if it were not for Ayaka Shikone, who completed the mending of Ayin's Curse by using Otonobe's blood as sacrificial substance.
