Description
Kujireika, chief of Tessik Village and younger sister of Nakiami, possesses dark tan skin, blue eyes, and long pink hair adorned with three green rings on each side. Two red upside-down triangle tattoos flank a smaller yellow circle on her forehead. Her attire typically consists of a sleeveless blue top under a red corset cinched with a yellow string, an open-fronted skirt over blue shorts, blue-and-black armbands featuring red and white stripes, black leggings with red stripes, and red, white, and blue sandals. In her Xam'd form, her body turns pink, featuring four blade-like protrusions on her head, wing-like green projections from her back, and a skirt-like structure.
Two years before the main events, photographer Raigyo Tsunomata visited Tessik Village and photographed Kujireika. Raigyo later shared this picture with Nakiami, hinting at Kujireika's shift toward violence. As village chief, Kujireika resented the villagers' reverence for Nakiami as a "Tenjo," a noble figure, especially since Nakiami was an adopted sister, not a biological descendant of their people's matriarch, Lady Sannova. This resentment fueled Kujireika's drive to surpass her father's legacy.
Kujireika voluntarily became a Xam'd by implanting a Hiruko. Her goal was to lead her village in retaking the Holy Land around the Quickening Chamber, believing this was a spiritual mandate from Lady Sannova. She argued the Tessik people could not remain passive while the Holy Land was controlled by those she deemed powerless and that reclaiming it would be simpler without the Tamayobi artifact.
Upon Nakiami's return to Tessik Village, Kujireika initially welcomed her but reiterated her disdain for Nakiami's status as a Tenjo. When the Southern Government attacked, Kujireika transformed into her Xam'd form to confront them. During this battle, she privately reflected on her complex relationship with Nakiami, explicitly referring to her as an adopted sibling.
Kujireika's leadership and journey were driven by a deepening desire for vengeance against the Hiruken Emperor and the Northern Army, whom she blamed for oppressing the Tessik people. This pursuit consumed her, leading her to embrace her Xam'd abilities recklessly. Her obsession culminated in a direct confrontation with the Hiruken Emperor, where she was effortlessly defeated. Her character embodies themes of jealousy, ambition, and the consequences of vengeance. Despite her initial protective role, her willingness to become increasingly monstrous isolated her and undermined her goal of liberating her people.
