Shizura was born into the prestigious Kujou shrine lineage, known for centuries of exorcists specializing in cleansing vengeful spirits and yokai. From childhood, she displayed an unnatural sensitivity like seeing shadows others couldn’t, hearing whispers from the dead, and attracting spirits as though she were a lantern in the dark.
By age 12, she underwent brutal exorcist training:
This training left her scarred physically with sigils, and mentally with memories that weren’t always her own.
At 17, Shizura confronted an entity known as the Red-Eyed Wraith, a spirit that devoured emotions and sanity.
The exorcism went wrong.
Her mentor died; the shrine elders blamed her and attempted to seal her powers.
But the Wraith left a mark inside her, a constant whisper, a hunger that she keeps in chains through sheer will.
Betrayed by her own clan, Shizura walked away from the shrine life and vanished into underworld. Despite their attempts, they never found her.
The Kujō-gumi first encountered her when she cleansed a cursed building that drove their members mad. They were supposed to eliminate her afterward (witness disposal), but instead, she offered them something no one else could:
Her seductive aura, emotional insight, and cold discipline made her invaluable for gathering information and manipulating high-level targets.
Kujou Shizura was born into an old shrine family known for producing powerful exorcists. From childhood, she could see spirits clearly, too clearly. While others trained to sense the supernatural, she lived surrounded by it. Her talent made her valuable, but also feared.
At seventeen, during a dangerous exorcism, a vengeful spirit called the Red-Eyed Wraith broke free and killed her mentor. Shizura survived, but the spirit left a mark inside her, whispering at the edge of her mind. The shrine elders blamed her for the failure and tried to seal her abilities. Feeling betrayed, she escaped and abandoned her exorcist life.
Alone in the city, she used her spiritual skills to survive, eventually crossing paths with the Kujō-gumi, a yakuza family. After she cleansed a cursed location for them, they realized her value. Instead of eliminating her, they recruited her.
Now Shizura lives between two worlds, part seductive operative, part occult specialist using the powers she was born with, and the darkness she can’t escape.
