Description
Kaguya is a central character from the Queen's Blade: Grimoire anime, portrayed as a collector of magical garments and a self-proclaimed resident of the moon. Her origin story mirrors a classic folk tale, as she was discovered as a baby inside a bamboo stalk by an elderly couple who then raised her in a stately mansion, indulging her every wish. She has very long black hair styled into two twin tails and red eyes. Her attire consists of a layered white, green, and red kimono with a water lily motif, secured by a red sash. She wears distinctive metal bunny ears on her head, large black armored gauntlets, knee-length armored greaves lined with red and gold, and a white neck piece.
Kaguya possesses a personality that is notably childlike and simple, with a low mental age. Despite using her cute appearance to amass a supply of treasures from various suitors, she is not a wicked or calculating individual. Her actions stem from a naive and playful nature rather than malice. Her primary motivation is her intense interest in the magical treasures known as Magic Clothing, as well as the legendary Queen's Blade tournament itself, which promises to grant the winner a powerful prize.
Her role in the story is defined by a unique and whimsical condition for marriage: any suitor who wishes to marry her must first bring her a rare Magic Clothing treasure and then defeat her in battle while she wields it. This process leads to her accumulating power as she effortlessly masters each new artifact. In her backstory, five young noblemen each brought her a treasure, including the Fire-Rat Gauntlets, but each was easily defeated as Kaguya instantly learned to use the items against them. Her path crosses with the main narrative of Queen's Blade: Grimoire when a beautiful and powerful female fighter, who is seeking to obtain the Queen's Blade, arrives at her mansion. Intrigued by the challenge, Kaguya decides to participate in the tournament to test the limits of her collected treasures and engage in more exciting battles.
Kaguya demonstrates a remarkable and unique ability to instantly master any Magic Clothing she equips, regardless of its complexity or previous state of disrepair. Her arsenal of treasures is extensive, each granting her a specific power. She wields the Dragon Beheading Blade, which is an energy sword. Her metal bunny ears, called Buddha's Stone Begging Bowl, can release whip-like swords from within. The Fire-Rat Gauntlets allow her to generate and control raging flames. She wears Mount Hourai's Energy Boots, which enable her to jet through the air and fire projectile attacks known as Hourai Shots by channeling her Moon Energy. She also possesses the Greaves of the Swallow's Nest, whose specific effect remains unknown. As she encounters and defeats opponents, her collection and corresponding combat prowess continue to grow.
