OVA
Description
Yaya Fushiguro is a human female aged 14 to 16, standing 150 cm tall and weighing 43.8 kg. Her short, seaweed-green hair complements golden eyes with distinctive cat-like pupils. Cat ears and a tail manifest visibly due to her possession by the Cat God Shiratama. She possesses the ability to fully transform into a green-furred cat matching her hair color; reverting to human form leaves her unclothed. Her typical attire features weather-appropriate hoodies. When serving as magical girl familiar for Koyuzu Shigaraki, her cat form wears a small witch hat and cape. Activating Spirit Armor enhances her feline traits, adding a fur-patterned bodysuit, armguards, knee-high boots, cheek whisker marks, and abdominal markings.
Her personality reflects innate cat-like behaviors: she savors naps, prefers cat-friendly foods, avoids hot water, exhibits wariness around strangers, and forms strong attachments after receiving food. Yaya maintains a generally calm, cheerful, and carefree demeanor. Simple-minded by nature, she depends significantly on Shiratama, acknowledging her limited capabilities without his presence.
Her background traces to childhood when she became Shiratama's host, forging a close friendship. This connection facilitated bonds with numerous other Cat Gods, elevating her popularity among them. She later relocated to Yuragi Inn, becoming the third resident after Nonko Arahabaki and Sagiri Ameno. She retains the unique ability to understand ordinary cats' intentions.
Plot developments commence with her introduction as a Yuragi Inn resident upon Fuyuzora Kogarashi's arrival. She heals a cut on his cheek by licking it, though initial interactions are strained by his accidental invasions of privacy. Their relationship shifts positively after Kogarashi feeds her grilled fish, leading to an affectionate, non-romantic attachment she describes as "being tamed with food." Key involvements include aiding residents in rescuing Kogarashi from kidnappers, protecting Yuuna Yunohana and Kogarashi during a cat body-swap incident, healing Kogarashi after a battle, and joining allies to confront Ouga despite being overpowered.
Her abilities derive entirely from Shiratama's possession. These encompass cat-like physiology granting enhanced movement and reflexes, transformation between human and cat forms, presence concealment masking sound and sight but not mental detection, wound-healing through licking, summoning multiple Cat God allies due to her friendships with them, and summoning the Divine Beast God Nyanga using Shiratama as a vessel. She also utilizes Spirit Armor, though its full capabilities remain undefined.
Relationships define her world: Shiratama is her primary symbiotic partner and power source. Fellow Yuragi residents Yuuna Yunohana, Chitose Nakai, Sagiri Ameno, Nonko Arahabaki, and Koyuzu Shigaraki share cooperative bonds, with Koyuzu being a close friend for magical girl roleplay. School connections include middle-school friend Nazuna Higurashi and high-school friend Shion Todoroki, whom she befriended after Shion rescued a cat. She holds chef Chisaki Miyazaki in high regard for fish-based meals. Among Cat Gods, Aramaki transitions from rival to ally after she defeats him twice and he later aids her summons.
