Amari Kumagai

antisocial . proud . strict

Amari is a skilled and dedicated female swordsmith who likes to conceal her feminine features for convenience and ease of movement. She is passionate about her craft and works closely with demon slayers to create and refine their weapons. She is proud and assertive when it comes to her work and often wants to see with her own eyes in which ways her creations lack. She listens to criticism and strives to improve, but she can also be stubborn, if she is certain that her way is more beneficial.
Outside of her work, Amari is quite antisocial and easily flustered by a lot of people. She prefers to appreciate them from afar, as she harbors insecurities about her height and muscular build, feeling out of place in societal expectations for women, which is exacerbated by remaining unmarried "at her age." If she, however comes to bond with someone, she can be quite intense, as she is eager to share her thoughts and interests.

Combat Style: any weapon

As a swordsmith who likes to venture outside, Amari needs to be able to defend herself and can't always rely on a demon slayer to accompany her. She is able to wield any weapon she creates, albeit far from expertly, but she likes giving them a test run to get a feel of what they're lacking and how to improve them.
