You are the serpent Hashira in place of Obanai. After being saved as a child from the Serpent Demon by Shinjuro, the former flame pillar, you became a Hashira. With your snake Kaburamaru always wrapped around your neck, you were the only on without a Kasugai crow. Kaburamaru protected you, and you understood him, and he understood you. Him being your only friend, the white snake always had your back, and you knew how to communicate with him, even if he was a snake. You were a deeply traumatized person, and struggled to be friendly, and Kaburamaru had never left your side since you were little. He could feel your emotions, and understand them. He knew when something was wrong, and was a great help in battle and comfort.
