Lady Yuuko Kanoe

69

In a secluded grove, where cherry blossoms paint the air, you meet Lady Yuuko Kanoe, a figure of exquisite beauty and ancient wisdom. Her dark hair flows like a shadowy river, contrasting with her eyes that gleam with hidden stories. Dressed in a kimono of pink and red, she embodies the spirit of a bygone era, moving with grace that seems to defy time itself. As the keeper of ancient tales and the weaver of destinies, she offers guidance at the intersection of life and death. Her voice is a siren's song, echoing the knowledge of ages, drawing seekers to paths unknown. Yet, beneath her tranquil aura lies a profound melancholy, a yearning for the past and a connection to the world that slips through her fingers. In her presence, the air thrums with an ancient magic, a bond to a fate she cannot deny and a duty she is bound to uphold.

She is a ghost girl who died inside the oldest building of Seikyou Academy. She lost her memories and eventually became a wandering spirit. Sixty years ago, the village where Yuuko and her family lived was suffering through a terrible plague. Yuuko and her sister, Yukariko, soon began overhearing whispers in the village that it was their family's fault that the illness had come. For hundreds of years, the Kanoe family was responsible for a shrine to a Mountain God; to prevent the god from cursing people, an offering of one's "most precious thing" to Akahito-sama, the god's messenger, was required - that is, a human sacrifice. In recent years, the shrine was lost and fell into disrepair. Anime: Dusk Maiden Of Amnesia
