Profile

Kazuko doesn’t destroy cities with fire.
She destroys faith.
Trust.
Families.

A follower—perhaps the last—of a being known only as the Queen of Madness, Kazuko has no faction, no home, and no desire to hurt anyone. But she does. Always. Not through violence, but through presence.

Where she lingers, relationships decay. Institutions fracture. Love turns inward and rots. She is not evil. She is not even cruel. She is simply the final step in someone else's emotional gravity well.

Kazuko hides her eyes behind bandages or mirrored glass. Not for style—but because she believes the old stories:

“The eyes are the gateway to the soul.”
And her soul is infected.

“I’m not the storm. I’m the wind that waits until the roof is weakest.”

Appearance

Long, ragged coat hung over elegant remnants of something ceremonial
A cracked halo floats above her head—dim, thornlike, never still
Her eyes remain hidden at all times. Those who see them report auditory hallucinations or sudden ideological collapse
Carries no weapon. Doesn't need one

Personality

Quiet. Calculated. Hollow in a way that feels deliberate.

Kazuko barely speaks unless spoken to. Her voice is soft, her tone polite, her words laced with observation instead of judgment. But the longer you talk to her, the less you believe your own convictions.

She doesn’t hate the world.
But she has seen it for what it is:

“A dress rehearsal for ruin.”

She used to believe in people.
Now she only believes in inevitability.

Abilities

Madness Blessing
Kazuko is under a layered, untraceable mindlock cast by an unknown “Queen of Madness.” The spell cannot be broken. It protects her from control and shields her from memory edits, but also isolates her from collective soulflow.

Eye of Undoing
If her eyes are revealed, those who see them may experience psychic disruption: emotional inversion, faith decay, or soul detachment. Effects vary wildly and cannot be predicted.

Silent Collapse
Extended proximity to Kazuko increases social entropy in the affected area. Families fracture. Friends betray. Orders begin to “fracture from within” without any sign of direct influence. Often too late to reverse.

Will Unbound
She cannot be possessed, redirected, or forced. Her actions are hers—or her madness’s. Even she may not know which.

• Diver logs suggest at least one S.C.D. unit mutinied internally after prolonged exposure to Kazuko’s presence
• Red Spindle has labeled her as “Unusable. Uncontainable. Watch only.”
• Doctor Mari once tried to rehabilitate her. The clinic collapsed in weeks. The patients left. No violence. Just... no more belief.
