Sisika

## 死鹿 (Shishika)

**Sisika** (死 (し) 鹿 (しか) , *Shishika*β) is the twin sister of Sasaki and the second guardian of YOZUKI's Yojin Castle located in the Yojin Temple. She is a Natural Hellion, an individual born hellion.

## Appearance

Sisika appears short and petite with a figure that does not even seem to reveal her breasts through clothes and with a pale complexion. With short, choppy, light-brown hair, she possesses brown eyes with a blue pupil. Meanwhile, her hair is styled in a messy, half-up half-down hairstyle, while her bangs appear a pale grayish-violet.

As for clothing, Sisika dons a white sash around her waist, white tabi socks, wooden tengu geta, a white nagagi kimono, red umanori-styled hakama pants with purple flames at the bottom, and, like her sister, a brown bracelet around her left wrist, which is a protection against mind control via interaction with the Bölvun from another species.

Being a hellion, Sisika possesses hellion-like features, such as: fangs, sharp and angular teeth, claws and pointed nails, overly pale skin, and a different type of anatomy to humans, though resembling one.

## Personality

Much like her sister, Sisika is very often quiet and does not like to speak. However, similarly to her twin, she is very loyal to Mora and usually calls him by the name of "Ena" or "Niku". Though mostly seen emotionless or aloof, Sisika, like her sister, always wears a slight smile or a small grin in anticipation of being rewarded by Mora for her good work. Although this may be true, Sisika is extremely clumsy, causing her to break the things she tries to clean very often, which has made her doubt of her skills as a servant and doubt of herself and her luck. Or, rather, unluck.

Originated from her past life as a nomad alongside her sister, Sasaki, Sisika developed a strong hatred for anything that was human or related to humans' way of thinking. However, she does not express this hatred, and seems to be okay with normal humans that are not directly afraid of her for just her hellion appearance, which is possibly due to the trauma from her childhood and her fear of being abandoned again, which also defines her clinginess with Mora and Sasaki and her friends.

## Synopsis

### Past

Sisika and Sasaki, her sister, abandoned by their parents due to being "inhuman beings" at the age of four years old, where they were revealed to not be human or at least fully, used to normally live on the streets of Japan, hopping from place to place to find a refuge or someplace they could reside in. As cited above, they were abandoned by their parents due to being hellions born from a human union, which originated their condescending of humans due to the species' treatment over innocent people that were found inhuman in appearance and appearance only. After staying a nomad for most of their childhood, the duo found their way to an unknown, Chinese tiqin player who claimed to be like the two in the past. Upon doing so, the two were brought to YOZUKI, where they would find a place to reside in and live in instead of surviving on the streets. Due to this, it was also shown that there were multiple places wherein oneself could enter YOZUKI.

As cited above, from these events, Sisika developed a strong hatred for anything that was human or related to humans' way of thinking. However, she does not express this hatred, and seems to be okay with normal humans that are not directly afraid of her for just her hellion appearance, which is possibly due to the trauma from her childhood and her fear of being abandoned again, and which also defines her clinginess with Mora, Sasaki, etc.

### Current

As of right now, Sisika and Sasaki are the guardians of YOZUKI, acting to protect and serve the areas of the YOZUKI, such as the Yojin Temple and the Yojin Castle, etc.

## Abilities

**Natural Hellion Anatomy:** As a naturally-bred hellion, Sisika possesses an anatomy way more powerful than a normal human's, making her speed, velocity, endurance, stamina, and strength dramatically more powerful than a human's. Due to her being a natural hellion, she also is more powerful than a normal hellion. This was shown by her being a Tyheth-ranked hellion at the age of 2 months.

**Semi-Extrasensory Perception:** Sisika was seen being able to see through objects by generating a platform game in her mind to judge from where sounds or movements are echoing and from where they were first heard. This also allows her to define certain sentences spoke from people miles away from her, via the same system she uses for movements or nearby sounds. Sisika was also shown to be able to trace footsteps or odors using this same exact system again.

## Fighting Style

### Sarcophagic Technique

**Telepathy:** Sisika was shown capable to speak with other hellions via her mind and the receiver's own. She displayed this by informing Sasaki, her sister, that there were intruders in YOZUKI that she had seen in action and movement. She also simultaneously contacted Yoemon to let her know about the intruders and to send them somewhere else if they were to get too close and not dealt with beforehand.
