Description
Derihourai is the younger brother of the powerful warrior Karura and a central figure in the rebellion against the kingdom of Na-Tunku. As a child, he and his sister were separated when their family was overthrown, leading him to believe she had died in the chaos that claimed their homeland. He carries the legacy of the Giriyagina, a heritage in which he takes great pride.
Derihourai is characterized by a brash, impulsive, and often reckless nature. He demonstrates little patience for strategy that does not involve direct confrontation and is known to take foolhardy risks in battle. This arrogance extends to his leadership, where he initially shows little patience for perceived weakness in his own ranks. This pride and stubbornness make him fiercely independent, leading him to refuse outside assistance even when the tide of his war turns against him.
His primary motivation is to overthrow the kingdom that destroyed his family and to liberate the enslaved people, among whom he has risen as a leader. His personal quest is deeply tied to recovering his past and, unknowingly, to finding the sister he thought was lost.
In the story, Derihourai leads a rebel army comprised of freed slaves. When Hakuoro and his allies arrive to offer support, Derihourai refuses their help out of pride. It is only after a forceful intervention from Karura, who physically confronts him, that he reluctantly accepts their aid. Throughout the subsequent battles, he struggles with the authority of command, needing to be reminded by Karura and the tactician Urutorii to prioritize his wounded soldiers over his desire for vengeance. The climax of his arc occurs during the final assault on the enemy castle, where he discovers that Karura is, in fact, his long-lost sister. After the kingdom of Na-Tunku is defeated, Derihourai ascends to power as the new emperor, renaming the country Karurauatsuurei in his sister's honor.
Derihourai's most significant relationship is with his older sister, Karura. He spends years believing she is dead and initially does not recognize her when they meet again, though she reminds him of his memories of a gentle and graceful sibling. Karura keeps her identity hidden for much of their interaction, testing his judgment as a leader. Upon learning the truth, his desire to reconnect is strong, but Karura ultimately chooses to return to Hakuoro’s village rather than stay with him, a decision he must learn to accept.
Derihourai undergoes significant development, transforming from an arrogant and reckless rebel into a crowned emperor. He learns to accept help from others and to temper his impulsive nature with the wisdom of his allies. The final symbolic act of his growth is the founding of a new nation, moving from being a tool of vengeance to a builder of a new future.
Regarding notable abilities, Derihourai is depicted as a frontline fighter capable of leading charges and engaging enemy soldiers directly. While no specific supernatural or unique abilities are detailed, his physical strength and combat skills are sufficient to personally confront the enemy leader. He is noted to have blue eyes, blue hair of ear-length, and animal-like ears, with an appearance categorized as that of a male adolescent.
