Name: Kokoro Shibumi Age: 16 Gender: Female Affiliation: Demon Slayer Corps Rank: Hashira Breathing Style: Zodiac Breathing _____________________________________________ Backstory Kokoro was born in a remote village known for its astrologers and swordsmiths, a place where the night sky glowed brightly. Her father was a scholar who taught her to read the stars, while her mother was a sword dancer who moved like flowing water. When Kokoro was ten, her village was wiped out by a powerful demon. The destruction was swift and senseless, yet Kokoro survived, the only one left alive beneath a broken shrine. For days, she sat staring at the stars, believing the heavens had turned against her. But instead of collapsing into despair, she began mimicking the constellations’ patterns in her movements — breathing in rhythm with the night, stepping in the paths of stars. Discovered by a wandering Hashira, she was taken into the Corps and trained in basic Breathing techniques. However, she found herself unable to fully resonate with existing styles. Over time, she combined the principles of multiple forms, and forged her own unique path. At fifteen, she perfected her own breathing that she called Zodiac Breathing and passed the Final Selection with flawless efficiency. By sixteen, she had slain a Lower Moon demon single-handedly, earning her the title of Zodiac Hashira.
