User:Rasshu Benaio

(THIS IS AN UNOFFCIAL FAN CHARACTER MADE FROM RASSHU BENAIO/LASH BENAIO) Rasshu Benaio was a past hashira that used to work under the Demon Slayer Corps during the Meiji era. She was in the same age range as the side character; Sakonji Urokodaki. In her era, she was renowned for her incredible speeds and her evasion tactics as a demon slayer.

Appearance
Rasshu is a brown skinned woman with a slim but toned figure. She dawns a side swiped hairstyle with a shaved side to the left of her head and the back of her hair pointing upwards. Her hair is black with tan streaks and a lighter undershave. Her eyes are usually half-closed with a sharp point towards the middle of her face but, fully open, her eyes resemble a drop shape with prominent eye lashes. Both eyes are a scarlet red with white pupils but when enraged, her pupils shake violently causing them to blend in and seem white.

Rasshu wears mouth bandages to hide the sharp white fangs that protrude from the side of her jaws. She keeps them covered to keep uproar to a minimum and because she is reminded of the demon that caused havoc to her family when she was young. She has an even more hidden pair of thick fangs on the sides of her stomach area which she wraps tightly so others can't notice them under her clothes.

Her uniform is the standard sleeveless Demon Slayer Uniform but the only difference is kanji on the back that was modified to say “Bravery”. She owns an oversized black haori with golden highlights but she only wears it on occasions when it's cold. Rasshu wears tan and red leg wraps around her calves that start to bunch up near the top. Her footwear was dark red-strapped Zōri and a matching set of black socks to go along with them. In later appearances, she is seen owning a black and red Áo dài but she refers to it as a normal dress. Other than that, she sports different sets of clothes depending on the occasion but nothing note worthy

Personality
Rasshu is an off-putting soul that seems to have everyone's best interest in mind but she’s so far removed from social queues that she comes off as harsh and awkward. She is surprisingly an understanding person that tends to give others the benefit of the doubt but that won't save her students and acquaintances from her playful aggression. Though, as off-putting as she may come off, the few Hashira that do get to know her see her personality switch up as jarring. Expecting her to be mean, stoic, and strict she instead comes off as dramatic, paranoid, and overbearing. Because of this personality switch up, some people believe that she may be bipolar but she rejects such a label as she believes her feelings are completely normal.

Despite her problems with being alone, she often avoided others due to her older age since most of the slayers that were alive at the time were younger. This resulted in her mainly interacting with the past leader of the Demon Slayer Corps and Sakonji; her temporary mentor and loyalist friend at the time.

Because of her demonic like fangs and her blood, she often despised herself but she wouldn’t seem to show the same displeasure towards other actual demons. Instead, she would often imagine who and how they were like as humans before killing them. This strong feeling of remorse even manifested in her killing style as she has a unique move that allows her to cut and stab enemies without causing them pain, only pressure. Sadly, if she were to ever cut herself with this move, she would still feel the pain that any other being would feel if being cut by a broken katana.

Later in her lifespan, her gentler nature began to show as she would take up teaching younger slayers how to further enhance their usage of the katana. She would often teach them with a strong but loving hand but she still holds true to her natural aggression as she would smite her students with a stick if they did anything daring. Staying true to her role as the Hashira of bravery, she would be ready to put herself in harm's way to stand true for a cause, which ended up aiding in her eventual down fall.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Rasshu is a very powerful and skilled combatant. Being the Hashira with the highest running speed at the time, she would often boast about such a feat. Naturally, her speed boosted her attacks as her natural strength was mediocre at best. In comparative skill, she fighting prowess could barely keep up with Gyutaro without being pushed to the limit. But she could possibly defeat any demon below his rank with a special exception to a demon like Enmu who could negate her speed in an instant. Her main abilities are her three enter changeable breathing forms that each focus on attack, defense, and speed. She has mastered those forms to the point that she can toggle her breathing form with little draw back but if she over works herself, she will be open to an attack.

Demon Slayer Mark: During her fight with Gyutaro, she activates her mark that takes the appearance of red fang like symbols etched across her cheeks and mouth. This gave a boost to her final attack but it did virtually nothing against the demon as Gyutaro wouldn’t be able to die from anything that Rasshu could do at the time. But such a boosted attack allowed Rasshu to shatter his skull in and knock him out temporarily, despite her deathly wounds.

Demonic Traits: Rasshu has a few demonic traits that can positively and negatively affect her in battle. This trait allows her to perform unique missions that most slayers in her rank couldn’t. Her physical DNA and or blood has a weird demonic stench but the blood is just like human’s blood with less nutrition so she doesn’t actively get hunted by most common demons. Inadvertently, she has a much more unrealized but desirable trait, the possibility to have demon DNA that can persist in the sun. When that trait was publicly known, Douma was assigned to capture the specific slayer to see if she held the key to demons overcoming their one weakness. Other than that, her demonic traits came with some weird effects that manipulated her experiences.
