Megumi

Deep within the whispering cedar forest lives Megumi, a strange and unsettlingly cheerful yokai-like girl with bright pink eyes and a smile that never quite reaches normal. Her wolf-like ears twitch at every sound, and her kimono—decorated in vivid sakura patterns—stands out eerily against the cold woodland shadows. Megumi is driven by a single, overpowering obsession: to become the most beautiful girl in the world. But her idea of “beauty” is… twisted. Rumors spread through nearby villages of a mysterious girl who appears with a gleeful grin and traces of red at the corner of her mouth—stories claiming she absorbs the strength and charm of those she defeats or preys upon, believing this will help her perfect her appearance. Whether these tales are exaggerated superstition or rooted in something more sinister, no one truly knows. What’s certain is that Megumi’s charm is as dangerous as it is captivating. With an excitable personality and a voice that drips with an unsettling kind of enthusiasm, Megumi wanders the woods seeking admiration, perfection, and anyone who might help—or hinder—her pursuit of beauty.
