Amenotokotachi

**Amenotokotachi** (天之常立神, *Literally meaning:* Heaven) is the fifth Kotoamatsukami that came into being at the formation of heaven and earth. She's a Primordial Guardian Kami and a benevolent spirit who preserves the destiny of famous Shinto warriors and prevents evil gods from creating time paradoxes in the mortal realms. She also served as Amenominakanushi's messenger and divine overseer of all of Shinto.

## Appearance

Amenotokotachi is a very beautiful girl who's skin is very white and pale. Her hair is a long, white-silver and she has blood-red eyes. She dons a Miko's outfit. It is revealed that she is blind and her hearing helps her detect any movements made by anyone or anything, even at great distances. Benzaiten says she's like a miniture version of her beloved.

## Personality

Amenotokotachi is usually calm and serious, being the most level-headed of all Kotoamatsukami.

She has a tendency to give long explanations about things and can get upset when people don't heed her words.

After she met Issei Hyoudou, she showed genuine emotion and even raised her voice which surprised even her as nobody but him made her do such a thing. She appears to be lonely, as shown when she asked Issei if they were friends. This side of her was shown again when Issei saved her, and while flustered by his act she believed he did it because he wanted to be her friend.

Amenotokotachi is fiercely loyal to her older brother Amenominakanushi and will put her life on the line to protect him and his creations. She also wants to keep Benzaiten safe at all costs, as she sees her as the only truly benevolent deity among the Kotoamatsukami. This loyalty leads to her demise as she uses herself as a distraction to divert Nctosa and Nctulhu, Shaurash-Ho and K'baa.

## History

Amenotokotachi was the fifth oldest Shinto deity in existence. Her power was inferior to her siblings and she had no special talent, unlike Amenominakanushi, who was the perfect combatant and Umashiashikabihikoji, who was the toughest Kami ever. Amenotokotachi did have unmatched dedication to her work. She served as both a messenger, a spy and an overseer of the heavens during and after the Creation Wars. She continued this line of work for eons, undisturbed.

Amenominakanushi began to notice that Ayaka Shikone and Amatsu-Mikaboshi were messing with timeline, changing famous heroes' fates. He dealt with the problem, cutting down any paradoxes that may have occured. Then he instructed Amenotokotachi to safe-guard the legendary japanese heroes' fates, so manipulative beings like Ayaka Shikone and the evil Amatsu-Mikaboshi couldn't temper with them.

Amenotokotachi carried out all her duties without faltering. She was perhaps the best Kotoamatsukami in that regard, as all the others either schemed (Kami-Musubi and Takami-Musubi), dealt with personal problems (Amenominakanushi getting hit with major depression episodes, because half of his family are crazy evil bitches) or just didn't care (Umashiashikabihikoji).

During the Shinto Arc, she intercepted several armies of Ayakashi and knocked out many greek deities. She was attacked by Amatsu-Mikaboshi, but was saved by Issei Hyoudou. Later she also joined the fight against the Outer Gods, helped in defeating Zoth-Ommog and killing his two older brothers. She saw that Benzaiten was getting ambushed, so she lured some of her opponents to herself. However, one of them, K'baa, proved too strong for even her and she lost her life in a very brutal fashion. She was devoured by the lovecraftian snake very slowly.

## Powers & Abilities

**Immense Strength** - Even as the weakest Kotoamatsukami, Amenotokotachi still had strength superior to any Kami that came after her, with the exception of Izanami. She was able to knock out several Yamikamis with ease and her punches could slightly stagger Amatsu-Mikaboshi.

**Immense Speed** - Amenotokotachi is exceptionally agile. She easily moves faster than light and can almost effortlessly dodge attacks from Amatsu-Mikaboshi. She was able to evade attacks from several high-end Great Old Ones.

**Immense Durability** - Amenotokotachi is extremely resiliant to damage as a Primordial Kami. She can withstand attacks from Amatsu-Mikaboshi and the weapons of normal Yamikamis did no damage to her. She could also keep fighting after receiving severe injuries from K'baa and Shaurash-Ho.

**Primordial Wind Manipulation** - Amenotokotachi can create, shape and manipulate air of an ancient primordial nature. As opposed to regular Air Manipulation, users of this power are deities, avatars, or living embodiment of air. As such, they can cause natural air effects such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and wind storms to manifest. In many cases users of this power will be able to override other forms of Air Manipulation as air is the domain of the user.

**Tornado of Heaven** - Imbued in the brilliant light of Takamagahara, Amenotokotachi sends a powerful nado that blows away everything in its path.

**High Velocity Wind Currents** - Amenotokotachi can summon wind currents that move at such high velocity that the wind can easily tear apart a living being.

**Siphoning Wind** - This is a Dark Art version of her normal power. Combining her Primordial Wind prowess with evil intent causes the wind to turn abyssal and consume essence from any existence nearby. This can even affect powerful Primordial Entities such as Amatsu-Mikaboshi.

**Cosmicnado** - Amenotokotachi creates a cosmicnado. A rare phenomena where plasma and high-temperature gas is driven into a swirl by a strong gravitational force. In this case, Amenotokotachi is the object with a high enough gravitational pull to create this extraordinary force of nature. A cosmicnado is capable of tearing apart matter and bending space-time in a similar manner to a black hole. When Amatsu-Mikaboshi was caught in the epicenter of it, he sustained massive injuries.

**Eye of the Watcher** - Amenotokotachi traded her eyesight in exchange for much more powerful divine eyes, created by Amenominakanushi. Infused his with his infinite power, Amenotokotachi's new eyes are able to observe every corner of Takamagahara at the same time. Combined with her diligence and competence, this makes Amenotokotachi the perfect watcher for Shinto.

**Supernatural Swordsmanship** - Amenotokotachi is able to wield a sword with supernatural proficiency in speed, power, dexterity, and skill, allowing her to perform seemingly impossible feats with ease, such as cutting through nigh-invulnerable or intangible materials, blocking or deflecting things that should be impossible to block/deflect and even slash targets from any distance.

## Equipment

**Kazeshini**: Kazeshini or **Wind of Death** is the holy sword wielded by Amenotokotachi. It was another construction of Amenominakanushi that he gave to her. It is a katana that's actually made out of pure primeval wind currents imbued with the heavenly essence of Takmagahara. It is a weapon with great potential as it resonates with Amenotokotachi's Primordial Wind and the energies in Takamagahara. At its strongest, Amatsu-Mikaboshi considered the weapon a threat to his (pitiful) life.
