Karura Hiōgi (緋扇 かるら Hiōgi Karura) was originally introduced as an antagonist, but she is now a recurring character. She is a tengu who controls the yokai in Kyoto under the Western Forces that serve the Yoinozaka Family.

Appearance

In her human form, Hiougi is a young girl with thigh-length red hair that is tied in on the left side, sharp yellow eyes and she wears a female highschool uniform.

In her Tengu form, she sprouts black wings. She is usually seen carrying a fan.

When she puts on Spirit Armor, she wears a tight skin suit which covers up to partially her cheeks and draping coat over it.

Personality

Initially, Karura is seen as possessive, obsessive, and a bit manipulative. She never gives up when she wants something or someone. After being rejected by Kogarashi, her personality mellows out but is still very ambitious of her goals. As the story progresses, it's revealed that she's actually quite shy after stalking Kogarashi Fuyuzora for so long. She can only be more forward with her feelings if angered, pushed in a corner, or gets "caught in the moment".

Background

Daughter of a Tengu Clan master, she assisted her father's rule with an iron fist. During a battle between the Western and Easter forces, Kogarashi Fuyuzora came crashing down and subdue both armies because they were ruining his field-trip. The event made her fall in love with him, while feigning hostility towards him. Although she was warned by others (like her father) not to approach him due to his status as a Yatahagane, she instead express her desire to marry him and soon began her plans to make that desire a reality. During her search for Kogarashi she managed to revive one of her clans secret techniques, Clairvoyance. When she coincidentally finds him at the Yuragi Inn, she didn’t know how to approach him, and watched him from afar. It was only until Kogarashi's birthday did she make her move after seeing him mix-bathing with the other female Yuragi residents.

Plot

Hiougi Estate Arc

Karura makes her first appearance watching over the Yuragi Inn from above with an angered expression on her face, spotting Kogarashi Fuyuzora and saying she finally found him. When everyone was enjoying a mixed bath with Kogarashi, she finally make her presence known along with Matora the Nue (Karura's best friend) and Suzutsuki the Sparrow Tengu (Karura's servant). She declared the boy the enemy of her father and with Matora's and Suzutsuki's help, she kidnaps Kogarashi with a transformation technique, transforming him into a Kokeshi Doll, while also defeating Nonko Arahabaki (with no alcohol) and Oboro Shintou. Yuuna and the rest try to save him but Karura was able to easily repel their attacks with a powerful blast of wind. After finally taking Kogarashi to her room did she reveal to him her true feelings and disturbing admiration for the Yatahagane. Refusing to back down and to keep a public face with her forces, she then plans to "marry" him, in reality, forcing him to a subservient method of marriage. She was defeated by both him and Yuragi-sou's denizens after Yuuna frees him from her marriage subservient spell. Despite her actions, Kogarashi defends Hiougi from her peers for using them while also saying he was happy for her feelings, but officially rejects them. She is visibly touched that despite everything she did and being rejected, Kogarashi still treats her as a woman. Redeeming herself, she visits Kogarashi and gives him a formal present for his birthday, promising to change her ways and hopes they will get along from now on.

She later became a waitress in Kogarashi's part-time job in order to be close to him.
