KnY OC

The first of the two KnY OCs I have.

Name: Shigure Kuroda Gender: Male Age: 22 Birthday: October 2 (Libra) Height: 175cm Weight: 70kg Hair color: Black Eye color: Green   Affiliation: Demon Slayer Corps (whereabouts unknown) Position: Cloud Hashira (formerly) Combat Style: Breath of Cloud

Family: Eijiro Kuroda (Father) Miho Kuroda (Mother) Shiori Kuroda (Younger sister)

Personality: A defiant son but a caring and protective older brother to Shiori. Shigure repeatedly refused to inherit the Kuroda farm business much to his father’s dismay. And even though his father prohibited him from becoming a slayer he still chose to become one.

He is generally easygoing and appears to not take his slayer duties seriously. This was especially evident when he constantly made advances towards female slayers and kakushis by wooing them with insincere compliments. Shigure suddenly stopped hitting on women after meeting Kanae and this change shocked many within the corps.

He can be deceitful and hides his true intentions from others causing the slayers and hashiras to be cautious around him. He does have a softer side and is generous towards children where he spends his own money to buy them gifts. He especially does this to the children who were rescued from demons, (like Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho from the Butterfly Estate) and those who reside at the Kuroda farmlands. He is calm and calculating as a fighter and these traits were what made his father deem him most worthy of becoming heir.

Background:

Shigure openly renounced his inheritance to the Kuroda family business and fortune because he wanted to build his own path and insisted on having Shiori be chosen as the family’s successor instead. After he mastered Cloud Breathing, he proclaimed that he would become a hashira for the money. This caused his father to be furious so he locked him inside a warehouse without food and water and he would not be released until he took his word back.

Shiori then freed Shigure and told him that she is sad with how their father is treating him and asked why their father had to be so harsh. Shigure knew that their father wanted to protect them and would rather have them live peaceful lives. The other truth that Shigure couldn’t tell her was how a demon once attacked their land, but Shiori was too young to remember that event. He hated how helpless he was at that time and could only watch their servants protect them until their father defeated the demon.

After he passed the selection exam and returned home, Shigure and his father had a heated argument. It ended with his father declaring how he would be disowned and was no longer allowed to return home until he quit being a demon slayer. Shigure accepted it and chose to stay with the corps. He climbed the ranks and eventually reached hashira position where he would meet Kanae.

Shigure had learned during his travels as a slayer that he found people to be predictable. He then developed a skill for persuasion though he mostly used it to sweet talk to women. But upon knowing Kanae he found her to be unpredictable because of her pity towards demons. He tried to understand how she could even feel that way towards those ruthless creatures. When he begins to recognize his developing feelings for the Flower Pillar, he struggles to reveal his more honest and open self.

Additional info:

Shigure’s crow is named Takeshi. Takeshi is a chonky bird. (Chonky! Not fat.) His favorite food is kenchinjiru (soup made with root vegetables and tofu). His hobbies are reading poetry and fishing.
