Description
Nanao Inusaka serves as a dedicated member of the Obsidian Eight, an organization allied with the Oni whose ultimate goal is capturing the Obsidian Goddess. She frequently undertakes missions alongside Shiro Inukai as part of her duties.
Her small frame is complemented by burgundy hair of medium length and dark eyes. Nanao typically wears attire reminiscent of a Shinto monk, complete with a kitsune mask, a tail accessory, and tengu-style geta footwear. She also wears a neck ring similar to Shiro's and wields a staff as her primary weapon. Off-duty, she prefers casual clothing: a yukata and a large ribbon in her hair.
Nanao possesses an indifferent personality, often displaying a gloomy demeanor. She approaches missions with seriousness and can be ruthless in combat, though she prefers swift completion to return home and rest. Despite this, moments of sympathy surface, such as her regret over Musashi's treatment during the Daito Mine incident. Her devotion to Shiro is profound; she constantly seeks his approval through actions like hunting pheasant meat or demonstrating her combat prowess, even while recognizing his general lack of concern for her. Nanao is one of the few capable of discerning Shiro's truths from his lies.
Originating from Shiro's hometown, Nanao sustained severe injuries during the first Oni invasion, nearly dying. Shiro intervened, compelling the Obsidian Goddess to prioritize healing Nanao, weakening his own recovery. This act forged Nanao's unwavering loyalty, leading her to persistently follow Shiro. She remained by his side even after his corruption by a black heart altered his behavior, eventually joining him as a founding member of the Obsidian Eight.
Within the Daito Mine Arc, Nanao assisted Shiro in manipulating Musashi to lure out the Obsidian Goddess. She initially fought Musashi, Kojiro, and Tsugumi using her Kitetsu Blade, gaining an early advantage until her weapon was partially destroyed. Dismissed by Shiro for perceived weakness, her subsequent attacks proved ineffective against the manifested Goddess. Shiro later evacuated her after the Goddess counterattacked. During the Awaji Island Recapture Operation Arc, Nanao reported the Obsidian Goddess's discovery to the Obsidian Eight, leading them to devise a plan to pursue Musashi while blocking Bushi forces from securing the Goddess.
Nanao wields the Kyuubi Shichiseitō (Seven-Belled Armadillo Sword), a staff that splits into seven segmented blades functioning as a whip. Her combat style emphasizes precise control of these blades. Her signature technique, Ressatsu Guruma, manipulates the separated segments into rotating saw wheels.
Her most significant relationship is her devoted connection to Shiro, driven by her desire to be useful to him. She maintains professional ties with other Obsidian Eight members during joint missions.
