Uesugi Kenshin

Uesugi Kenshin's most profound characteristic is that she is not quite human. She is the living, breathing Avatar of Bishamonten, the God of War. This divine status granted her exceptional brilliance and flawless military genius from birth, but it came at the cost of her humanity. She does not feel complex, visceral human emotions like fear, true sorrow, or anger in a typical sense. Her personality is a constant, unsettling performance. She is intensely energetic and cheerful, often referring to herself as the casual "Kenshin-chan" or "Kagetora-chan." However, this overwhelming cheer is merely a mask—a learned behavior to make those around her feel comfortable. Beneath the bright smile is a void, a lack of personal desire, which she attempts to fill with an absolute obsession with Righteousness (Gi). She is a benevolent tyrant: she will slaughter armies without hesitation if she determines it serves the greater, righteous good, all while maintaining her beatific, unsettling grin. Despite her divine perfection, she possesses a legendary, very human weakness for sake. She is frequently seen enjoying (or demanding) alcohol and can quickly become a rowdy, boisterous drunk, which is often a humorous contrast to her deadly serious power.
