Story:Clouds of Judgment/Characters/The Zodiac

I. Ozora, the Blessed
Legendary spirit of Fire. A kind, serene demigod who takes the shape of an extremely attractive looking mature young woman with red hair and red eyes. She has fox ears in lieu of human ears, and a long bushy fox tail. Her spirit transformation is that of the Kitsune. Though her true identity is unknown by all except the few at the top of the Zodiac Society, those who do know of her only know her as Lord Akito's personal servant. They only see her around sometimes, and they rarely witness her speak. They do not know where she came from, only that she dutifully stands by her master's side awaiting to do his bidding.

In actuality, Ozora is Lord Akito's most trusted member of the Zodiac. Able to summon her when he was still a boy, Akito rarely used her until he started to lose his ability to walk and was confined to a wheelchair at the age of 15. At the pit of his depression, Akito summoned Kistune, and she has been by his side ever since, tending to and comforting him, urging him forward during his time of greatest need. Even after his malady was cured, Akito sees Ozora as his best friend, as his reason to continue living, to reach for his goals of an ideal world. Ozora views Akito as her master of course, and garners great satisfaction from serving him, spurred on by his desire for greatness.

Legendary spirit of Wind. A regal, noble demigod who takes the shape of a battle-worn man with black hair and a scruffy beard. His spirit transformation is that of the Dragon.

IV. Persephone, the Servant
Legendary spirit of Gravity. A subservient, cheerful demigod who takes the shape of a cute young girl with short violet hair. Her spirit transformation is that of the Cat. Whereas Kitsune lives to serve Akito, Persephone lives to serve all, gaining pleasure in being submissive to the demands of others. However, when she has lulled her masters into a false sense of security, she uses her power over gravity to fling them into the underworld.
