Nine Celestial Moons
Even if she were to go to Kai as a bride...
Her heart will not change...
Her curse will not change...
She was born into the house of Kouga Mochizuki, one of the fifty-three Kouga clans.
The fact that she keeps the family crest of nine celestial moons on her person is proof of this.
Never once does she forget the fact that she inherited Kouga Saburou's curse.
In truth, there is no way she could forget.
Though she believes it to be a curse, at times the Orochi's presence manifests itself as power for her and slaughters her enemies.
