Character name: Kuro Series: Blue Exorcist (manga) Canon point: directly after chapter 34
Summary: Kuro is a cait sith, a type of demon that possesses cats. A long time ago, he became the guardian deity of a village of silkworm farmers. He would kill mice that preyed on the worms and warded the village against disaster in exchange for being given a good life where he received many delicious sacrifices by the villagers. He loved the humans, but his purpose within the village was gradually lost as it shifted away from silkworm farming. Over time, they stopped worshiping him entirely and came to forget their feline deity.
That he still cared for them made it all the more painful when people made the decision to bulldoze his shrine and build on the land. Feeling abandoned and betrayed, he went berserk and began destroying machinery and terrorizing the area around his shrine. There was nothing more to be done but to try to have him exorcised, and True Cross was called on when local shaman failed.
Shiro Fujimoto led the group and knew exactly how to handle him. Rather than slaying the demon, Shiro realized what the problem was and decided to talk him down instead. With Kuro’s abandonment issues identified, the man befriended him and shared catnip wine with him. He became very attached to Shiro, agreeing to be his familiar and to act as guardian of one of the gates to True Cross Academy.
When Shiro died, Kuro’s feelings of abandonment led to acting fierce and wild. He denied that his master was dead, and fought against the people he thought to be lying about the death. His rampage led to meeting Rin who was able to understand his pain and to bond with him over their shared loss. He became attached to Rin, and acts as his familiar instead. He is very much a cat, and he has his pride about the whole situation. He doesn’t like being belittled or treated as lesser than he thinks of himself as. He can be quite sensitive and doesn’t take jokes directed against him very well. Overall, he’s playful and enjoys a lot of attention from people, but is also a fierce creature when he believes the situation calls for it.
Powers: Nekomata: Kuro can change from a tiny cat into a gigantic beast with increasingly demonic features, growing to enormity and getting incredible strength to match. He is particularly durable and agile in this form, and can be used as an excellent mount for multiple people. This can go under the three times per day power rule.
Entry: Awakening surrounded by ‘statues’ in True Cross uniforms, Kuro touches one and it falls apart. The rest of the time is spent rampaging on the Skyway as a giant angry monster cat. Short of Rin’s intervention or a powerful enough force to beat him down, he’ll just keep doing what he’s doing. Other: He’s capable of communication with anyone that might have some sort of telepathy with demons or perhaps people that can talk to animals, but otherwise he meows a lot.
