made of tongs of the weak, the branches
the bones of the liars the thieves
rise up above it, high up above it
and see"

AND DELVE DEEPER INTO ME
but you still know so little.

Fighting Kith: Fighting; energy and special abilities are her strength
Energy: Demon
Special Powers/Abilities: At one time, Mukuro was the most powerful demon in the Makai (perhaps second strongest to Raizen in his prime). But it should be noted that her power is directly proportionate to her level of hatred. Since the end of the series she's chilled her jets, however.

Telepathy

Ability to cut through the third dimension

Close Combat

Telekinesis

Mastery of Raw Energy

Eyes: Her left eye is dark blue, like a pirate's watery grave. Her right eye is replaced with a cybernetic lends due to the damage to the right side of her body.
Hair: Appears almost red in the lowlight, however, when graced by light, it is a strawberry blond. Shoulder length and generally parted to the left.
Height: 5'5''
Build: Streamlined, toned
Presence: Arguably the most powerful demon in existence (and, at one time, the most ruthless), Mukuro is a rather frightening individual to behold. While controlled and soft spoken, she simply radiates violence.

At one point in her life, Mukuro was very beautiful. Her soft, clear complexion, effeminant features and lithesome physique would even now have made her a sight for sore eyes. Unfortunately, her beauty was her curse. She poured acid on herself to escape a tormented childhood, the damage so severe that the entire right side of her body is covered in not only burns and scars, but her arm and leg had to be replaced with cybog-like parts. A lends now replaces her right eye, and she wears a bandage around her head in headband fashion. In the past she had worn them around her entire head, disguising her gender both with that and a device that made her voice sound lower. She's abandoned that now, however, its purpose no longer needed.

GLIMPSE INTO TIMES NOW PAST
and discover what makes them who they are.

Father: Orphaned, though adopted by a demon named Chikou
Mother: Unknown
Other: None
Origin: Demon World
History: Mukuro possesses the cruelest story in all the Yu Yu Hakusho anime. Disowned by her parents, she was sold into slavery as a young child and purchased by a demon named Chikou. He used her as a sex slave, going so far as to have her surgically altered to provide him maximum pleasure throughout her days in compensation for the damages done. He would rape her every year on her birthday in particularly inhumane manners as a "present". Mukuro's childhood was hell.

However, even as a child, Mukuro was a powerful creature. Her linage is that of the Mazoku, an elite and powerful line of demons and her gifted abilities were unshroudable. Knowing this, Chikou not only kept her in powerful shackles at all times, but installed a chip in her brain so that whenever she thought of killing him she would be forced to think of how good he was to her to have taken her in, how he cared for her, etcetera. Overwhelmed by the horrors of her life, at the mere age of 7 Mukuro poured acid over her body to escape his sexual desires.

It worked.

He cast her out in the cold, winter snow, not bothering to remove her shackles or even appropriately cloth her. Mukuro had no idea how to survive on her own, no idea how to use her powers, or even where she was. Haunted and utterly alone, the small child often thought, even tried a few times, to take her life. But what kept the breath in her lungs was not fear of death, nor a thirst for life or a life better lived, but hatred. It burned and churned and festered inside her. As the years rolled on its fires never quenched, and the memories and self loathing never dulled.

Fearing history may still repeat (among other reasons), she covered her face and took on the identity of a man, becoming a ruthless assassin whose reputation spread throughout the Makai. Eventually she conquered the northeastern territories, organizing her one-woman-show monarchy as "King." After decades of this she encounters Hiei and makes him her right hand man. When the two faced each other in the tournament at the end of the series he destroyed the shackles on her wrists, freeing her from a fraction of the daily reminders of her past. He later takes it upon himself to capture Chikou, infuse him with a plant that made it impossible for him to die aside from a slit to the throat, and gave him to her to torture as she wished. She eventually had Hiei kill him, the chip preventing her from doing the deed herself and forcing into her memory all the times he molested her every time she thought of him at all. She no longer wanted the creaton in her life.

Since then, her hatred has lessened. As a result, so have her powers (causing her to lose to Yomi in the tournament). Mukuro is still haunted by the horrors of her past, but now finds it somewhat easier to cope with.

STILL DO NOT JUDGE
for you will never walk a life in their shoes.

Fears: Little but the reoccuring nightmares. The others are not for you to know. =P
Strength: Her abilities, tact, ruthlessness
Weakness: Sensitivity to her past, you never quite know what may set her off. Apathy, stubbornness
Mental Stability: Sane
General Persona: Mukuro once was, and still is, a terror of demon world. Her menacing reputation haunts the hearts of children and even the most hardened warriors near and far, her authority virtually unchallenged due to the nature of her power. Mukuro is unbias toward enemies and unbothered by death. The poor femme has experienced the cruelest side to the world; it has left her mentally scared and without love, trust, or pity for the rest of existence.

She does possess a sly, subtle sense of humor, often at others' expense. She's an isolationist, caring not to cause trouble with human world, or anywhere else really. The loneliness is damning, its sting never numbs, but one does learn to accept it, and so she has. Mukuro is a troubled, injured heart, her ambition and ability to overcome effective in all areas of her life except against the grueling memories. But daily she swallows it back, looking at all she has accomplished and reminding herself she is, indeed, worth something. That he has no hold on her anymore.

Though he does...

Socially, Mukuro is generally cold and quiet unless giving orders or some such. She has little in common with the rest of the world, so it's difficult to simply have a conversation. And honestly, she doesn't care to. Despite a small degree of self-loathing, she finds it difficult not to look down on others for their foolishness or weakness. Or both.
