Okura Shiori

Okura Shiori is one of the corrupted gods of the Warped Domain's Lords holding the position of Upper God 9. She is one of the major supporting antagonists in the series, *Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants*. She is the Progenitor of the Forest Spirits, and is the God of Cursed Petals, Curses, and Blood. She became the very first forest spirit, at the mere age of 14, and comes from the Ninth Period.

She comes from the Okura Clan, which is an extremely prominent clan in Dianden serving under her. She is the creator of Blood Style, Corrupted, and is one of the Bloodshed Courtesans alongside a major supporting antagonist in the Part 2- Abyssal Forests: Rise of Abyssal Domain of the manga, *Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants* and died in the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc where she aided Daiki in battling the Defenders of the Light alongside the rest of the Warped Domain's Lords. She is also one of the highest supporting servants of the Eight Timeless Devourers. After her death, she was incarnated into a new puppet's body and helped Baldo centuries later in the series, Locked Paradise. She also disguised as a seamstress in Dianden, and tried to orchestrate massacres and mysterious incidents in the Zynhalkeon Forest in the Kliessarium Game while Daiki was disguised as one of the main participants and canditates. She also is the creator of the Death Fabrics, which are known as cursed cloth in the Locked Paradise, and is from a noble family in the Ninth Period which was connected to the humans conceived from the Moonlit Glow, and the abyssal mirror souls of Mortemterra and was said to be corrupted by them. Her human name was Miyo Shiori as a young girl, and she was forced to become a seamstress under the orders of her extremely abusive family, but was tragically murdered by a selfish cult who wanted to exploit her Numen-talents.

## Appearance

Okura is a very young, yet beautiful woman who possssses red hair which is colored like the crimson stains of blood, albeit less than Kenzu Fuyuki's crimson-colored hair. In the anime and the colored version of the manga, she is seen as a very tall, young, and curvaceous woman with teal eyes. She wore a revealing black kimono which was edorned with beautiful petal-patterns alongside

## Personality

Okura can be described as an aggressive and pushy woman, who always forces her opinions on others, and is rather whiny about it. She is also very immature and lacks the emotional maturity to handle difficult situations with grace. She tends to resort to harsh and crude language to express her frustrations, albeit less than Kenzu and Daiki's crude and blunt language. She often has a knack for saying what is on her mind, and is unapologetic, crude, and unshakable about it. She does not really care if what she says is harsh, and crude, as long as she gets her point across. Her nature often leads her to make insensitive comments without considering the feelings of those around her. This was something Shiro Yori would often scold her for as it contrasts too much with his calculating, deceptive, and manipulative demeanor. She always comes off as rather aloof, unfriendly, and often times very angry, temperamental, and very irritable - something she struggles too hard to hide in her human disguise that she has to act disciplined and ladylike. Her attitude was capable of constantly annoying and irritating Kenzu Fuyuki who told her to silence herself with veins popping on his head. She also expressed displeasure at insults, and irritation as evident when she pouted and continously frowned when Kenzu easygoingly and nonchalantly called her a "shameless harlot" particularly due to her shameless and disgusting behavior. Her immature demeanor was a result of not being able to grow up mentally, which was due to her race - the forest spirits were unable to grow up mentally from their age but could grow up physically. This was one of the traits she passed on to the forest spirits, alongside her extremely low frustration tolerance. This was also passed onto her students inc

Shiori was also seen to be very prideful, and possessed a superiority complex in a similar manner to Rei Matsuoka. This was evident when she called humans "filthy worms" unworthy of touching her skin and was heavily disgusted when a human were to touch her. At the same time, Shiori was immensely proud of the Okura Clan, and it's achievements to the point of gloating and boasting about it. This was so evident to the point that once in her life, Shiori battled with Adonnes De Margarette over who had a much stronger clan. Her proud nature and superiority complex made her belittle others as unworthy or inferior to her, especially humans and view them as insects. According to her, she is unworthy of them as a sight as they are too weak for someone as divine as her and was too unfeeling towards humans and even the guardians of humanity. If such cases where she would need to eradicate the humans to protect her forest spirits, her forests, and Akito, she would do it swiftly without any empathy for humans. This even borderlined to the point where she was completely unfeeling to them to the point of eradicating and burning houses, towns and districts in the Tatralian Ball Arc without too much care for the consequences of her violence on humans. Her attitude was one of the reasons she couldn't understand the cause of the Gift Corps, as she always was frustrated with how they gave humans painless deaths and asked why they deserved painless deaths. Her unfeeling demeanour is due to the fact that she views humans as inferior in a similar manner to Daiki. Shiori can be seen as dismissive, and rather full of herself, as she was certain that with her plans and her abilities, she could easily defeat the warriors, Soo-Hyun, Ryuga, and the members of the Moonlit Order. This led to her downfall, by the hands of the warriors as she failed to realize she needed to take them very seriously. This also added to her focused yet prideful nature which became one of the causes of her near defeats a few times and one of the reasons why she was scolded by Shiro Yori.

Shiori was also quite apathetic to other races as seen when she didn't express any care for the others hurt and damaged the other races which actually didn't serve under the Warped Domain's Lords. She also didn't care about hurting other races if it meant to further achieve her own goals, thus leading to a selfish mindset she passed towards the Forest Spirits who learned to be more selfish as well. This was also passed in the Abyssal Tide's Whisper, an artifact which would make the holder hear and hold the power of the Seven Hypnotic Voices seen in the Abyssal Matter's Whisper, Locking Paradise series. This is due to her perception of the current Thirteenth Age which was an age filled with warring states, thus making her believe other races could be potential traitors or enemies. She also believed revenge and disdain towards other races were very much suited and strict laws were needed to ensure the safety of her race. Shiori's inherent apathy turned out to be extremely self-destructive as it forbid her from working with others which could've led to a much desirable and peaceful co-existence but she had no idea of the continous war it caused to the states of her people. This self-destruction was also caused by her extreme sense of revenge and rage which corrupted her mind greatly which was a result from her childhood upbringing.

Despite this, Shiori grudgingly expressed love for her fellow council members, but her most grudging and seemingly frustrated way of expressing her care was seen in her mannerisms towards Kenzu Fuyuki who she both hated and admired. Although she was very annoyed with his demeanor, she also cared for him as evident

Like all of the Warped Domain's Lords, she held extremely high levels of admiration and respect towards Daiki and would even kill and commit violence to anyone who disrespected or betrayed him in anyway, even if they were from the Okura Clan. Her admiration was such she became unfeeling and emotionally distant from everyone who betrayed his order and became more aggressive and forceful towards them. Shiori also was often very rude towards them, even more so than her usual bluntness, disrespect, and rudeness.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As one of the upper-ranked members of the Warped Domain's Lords, the strongest council of deities, Shiori is undoubtedly a tremendously powerful warlord and deity far surpassing the power of Reika Kamino who has not been defeated for numerous centuries despite the combined efforts of extremely talented warriors and her own bodily restriction which limited her stealth too heavily they couldn't reach superhuman levels and how she required to use her other skills to compensate for her extremely slow running speed due to both a flexible and agile body. To defeat her, it took the combined efforts of too many warriors who were extremely powerful and even so, they struggled immensely due to her power. In the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc, Shiori's Shentan has further increased to tremendous levels due to the Seven Elixirs which then makes her far stronger than how she was during the Tatralian District. Her strength and prowess in all aspects of Shentan combined with her physical prowess made her irrestibly more powerful.

**Immense Strength:** As a combatant, Shiori possesses tremendous amounts of strength and this was highly evident when she was able to break several huge craters with ease. This caussd her Bodily's Flow Restriction which made her levels of mobility very low, albeit not lesser than Daiki himself due to her inferior strength. She was able to grip tightly onto her flails hard enough where it could not be separated onto her hand and swing it without too much effort yet her skill in swinging them was far from Daiki's skill in his massive and short flails. Her strength was one hundred-times that of the muscular constitution of one of the highest-ranking Kinaree, and resulted in her lack of running speed. She prides herself on her strength because she was able to kill several of the Knights of the Crystal Rose with one swing of her short flails and a short series of projecting the knives onto the knights. She also thrusted the knives, causing it to pierce through grounds and crystals alongside creating multitudes of terrains around her due to the force.

**Immense Reflexes:**

**Explosive Skills:** Shiori possesses tremendous amounts of skill in explosive skills, albeit far from the level of Daiki's prowess, who is currently the strongest at utilizing explosives. Her explosive skills even allowed her to rival Jurei Matsuoka and Rei's skills of explosives against her. Shiori's talent in explosives was also evident when these severly damaged the bodies of several warriors from the Moonlit Order. This was proven when she attacked several towns using explosives and harmed none of her allies in the process during the Dusk War in the Sanje Realm.

**Master Hand to Hand Combatant:** Due to her proud nature, Shiori has become an incredibly powerful hand to hand combatant, who mostly relies on her arms and martial arts-skills to deliver powerful strikes to her enemies. She also relies on her Flow Essence, and her other skills, and uses her bare fists to deliver punches and strikes to her opponents. She also relies on her legs, and the force of her body parts as well, alongside her short flails in combat to maximum. Her mastery allowed her to win a significant advantage against some of the warriors.

### Numen Abilities

Shadow Manipulation**:** As one of the most powerful users of Shadow Numen, Shiori could freely manipulate and generate shadows, and produce it out of her own body. Shiori can also freely form shadows and change their sizes and shapes. These shadows had the ability to manipulate it's surroundings and also trap the opponent.

**Shadow Petals:** A technique where Shiori combines her Petal Manipulation with her Umbrakinesis, and unleashes it's strongest forms and extensions. The petals are unleashed at different spaces, sizes, and paces to further trap the opponent and are then combined with trapping shadows which allow the user to control the direction further. These petals actually are very sharp, and slices every part of the body in it's aim alongside everything surrounding it.

**Blood Splash, Shadows:**

**Blood Release, Gas:** A technique which was taught and formed by Daiki which was taught to Okura where the user uses their Blood Manipulation to it's maximum, while also utilizing all their skills in melee combat.

## Equipment

**Shadow Short Flails:** Okura possesses short flails which strike from all angles, and are connected with large and heavy chains which are also capable of cutting. It's short structure is very useful, as it allows for close-ranged battles and due to the Shentan being imbued with Shiori's Blood Release, it becomes more adaptive and far stronger but is more useful in melee-combat - something she relies and specializes in.

## Quotes

*" How dare you call me a shameless harlot?! You think you're so superior, ha, you piece of trash?" Okura Shiori lashing out and throwing a tantrum towards Kenzu Fuyuki for calling her a harlot*

*" Hah, please, this is just a simple piece of what I have to do. It's not like they could defeat someone as powerful as me." Okura Shiori to herself on the Knights of the Crystal Rose and Hotaruko Anchali's assault*

## Trivia

Shiori is one of the more evil antagonists, although she isn't one of the most corrupted ones like Tsumi. This is because of her deception and actions in the series.

Shiori lacks weapon adaptability or weapon flexibility, as she only trained in her short flails to do the work for her. This is due to her constant victories and her constant skill with them that led her to overpower many Kosho in short amounts of time in centuries.

Daiki often gets extremely annoyed at her, but still respects her as a member of the Warped Domain's Lords. He is mostly annoyed by her immaturity.
