Personality

Kekai is distant and cold, but only because she feels she has to be. She finds it hard to trust others, and repeatedly is heard to be saying how much she despises people and jujutsu society alike. She can be angry and aggressive, even with young children and the students of Jujutsu Tech, and doesn't apologize for being this way either. She feels like a person needs to be strong not just in ability but emotions in order to survive in this world. She does not have a hidden 'soft' side (according to her) and doesn't let down her guard no matter who she's with or where she is at. Many people find it hard to get along with her, but those that try are the true MVPs, such as the peers she went to Jujutsu Tech with.

There are times where she can be calm however, as rare as that might seem to other people. She seems to have a calmer personality when it rains, and she also enjoys going to the zoo and watching various animals wander about. All in all she is a rather complex person to figure out, but those that put in the effort can see how fiercely loyal a friend she can be. 

History

Kekai is a descendant from an infamous family in Jujutsu society named the Karitei clan. The family has had a bad reputation even long into the past, however the members of this family had been powerful and menacing sorcerers and thus supported by the higher ups. The greed and desperation to keep this power in the blood line was so immense, the family had resorted to inhumane methods on the children that were born into the family. If the child had no signs of cursed abilities, they would be treated as if they were nothing but a liability to the family and mistreated. Likewise, if a female was born, regardless of cursed abilities, they would be treated as if they held no ability and made to wear cursed seal earrings which concealed their powers and made it so they were blind to cursed spirits. If those weren’t enough, there even had been rumors of inbreeding within the family, and thus they were riddled with many sins.

The current family members are no exception to their families bad reputation, as Kekai’s family had treated her as a monster since the moment she was born. Due to complications from birth, Kekai’s mother was killed. She was born covered in an unusual amount of blood, and when she opened her eyes, they were revealed to be an eerie translucent white. The combination of her mothers death, the amount of blood, and the childs unusual eyes, had those in the family believing her to be a demon. Also known as the yokai ‘kekkaionna’ (blood clot child), her father had given her the cruel name of the yokai and immediately had her taken away. He felt as if his true child had been killed by this girl in the womb, and he cared nothing for her. He wouldn’t even hold her.

From her childhood up until her adolescence, she had been chastised by her family and was only given attention from the help of the family which had taken care of her for most of her life. When word came out that she had been blessed with sorcerer abilities, she was forced to pierce her ears and carry the cursed seal to keep her powers at bay. Her father had long since remarried and had two sons in her steed, thus making her existence feel like a slap in the face, not only to herself, but to her deceased mother. The intense feelings of sadness, anger, and disrespect, had caused her to make up her mind and, when she was old enough, pull herself away from the family in order to become a sorcerer. Miraculously, she was able to train with cursed tools enough to override the enchantment of the earrings and allowing her to use her cursed energy in order to hone an old lost ability of cursed body mutation.
