Description
Personality
Kayatsubo is a complex character driven by a potent mix of vindictiveness, loneliness, and a surprising playfulness. Her initial presentation is one of anger and resentment towards Reiko Natsume, whom she believes stole her treasured doll. This grudge fuels her actions, showcasing a possessive and emotionally volatile side. However, beneath the anger lies a deeper loneliness, evident in her desire for companionship and her fondness for pretty things, particularly the doll she considers a friend. This duality is further highlighted by her playful deception of Takashi, suggesting a capacity for cunning and a degree of self-awareness despite her emotional outbursts.
Abilities
Kayatsubo's abilities are limited. She primarily resides within a pot, able to extend a limb or part of her body from the opening. She can move the pot around, seemingly rolling it to travel. Her main "power" is her ability to intimidate and frighten others, using her grudge against Reiko Natsume to manipulate Takashi Natsume. She doesn't possess any supernatural combat abilities or significant magical powers beyond her ability to move and communicate. Her vulnerability is her exhaustion after sunset, rendering her asleep and unable to act.
