CHARACTER INFO
Name: Sanemi Shinazuguwa
Canon: Demon Slayer
Canon Point: Post-Infinity Castle arc
Age: 21
Species: Human
History: Here! Content warning for child abuse.
Personality:
✽ What is your character's main motivation? What drives them and keeps them going?
Frankly? The unabetting desire to kill all demons. Sanemi is motivated by a sense of duty and vengeance so closely intertwined that they may as well be synonymous. For a period of time, it was his sole purpose: he had forsaken all else in order to singularly hunt down demons, regardless of how it endangered himself.
Deep within, it is out of a desire to ensure that no others could ever suffer the same as his family had, and to leave the world a safer place than the one he grew up in. The kind of world your younger brother could have a family in.
✽ What is their biggest regret? Why?
Treating his brother the way he has up until this point. Pushing all others away in order to protect them, because he wholeheartedly believed that those bonds would be the death of them, and would only serve as a distraction. The fact he was left as the sole living member of his family when all was said and done will haunt him regardless of how much longer he lives.
✽ What is their worst fear? Their greatest comfort?
His worst fear is loss. His greatest comfort is that, one day, his effort will bear fruit and usher in a more peaceful tomorrow. Unfortunately, he was kind of swiped up by the powers that be in the Forest prior to being able to meaningfully contribute to that.
✽ Top three strengths?
✽ Top three weaknesses?
✽ What was their last lie?
"I have no brother."
Inventory: A standard Nichirin katana with a green blade, and a custom handguard shaped in an artistic depiction of wind. The side of the blade has the kanji for "Destroyer of Demons" engraved in.

✽ Top three strengths?
- Sanemi boasts a sharp mind, in spite of his impulsivity. He is capable of coming up with strategies on the fly, and is able to discern the weakness of others after a short period of observation in the midst of combat.
- Sanemi is a master swordsman, and one of the few Hashira to actually utilize a standard blade! He was taught to utilize Wind Breathing by an unknown cultivator after his skill was acknowledged by a formal Demon Slayer, and it is said that he is the most skilled user of Wind Breathing in his generation.
- He is fast as hell. This is probably a given considering the whole… wind… motif.
✽ Top three weaknesses?
- Abrasive. Just, really, largely unpleasant to be around for most people. He's endured quite a bit over the course of a relatively short life and, as a result, doesn't tend to enjoy interacting with people that much. He's just as quick to tell someone to fuck off as give them the time of day.
- Sanemi is also incredibly stubborn. Once he has decided something, it is incredibly difficult to convince him otherwise. The most blatant example was how he treated his younger brother, Genya, out of a desire to protect him from the horrors of the world of demons. He felt that harshly discouraging him and demeaning his abilities would cause Genya to quit the Demon Corps, thus sparing his life. This didn't work.
- No regard for personal safety. In case the plentiful bouquet of scars didn't make it obvious, Sanemi has little regard for his own health. He even went so far as to utilize his own blood to lure out demons before he was formally trained.
✽ What was their last lie?
"I have no brother."
Inventory: A standard Nichirin katana with a green blade, and a custom handguard shaped in an artistic depiction of wind. The side of the blade has the kanji for "Destroyer of Demons" engraved in.
Abilities:
- Particularly adept at controlling his muscles. This largely manifests in his ability to keep his abdomen intact after sustaining severe injuries from Upper Moon One. By flexing his muscles, he was able to keep his body from falling apart.
- Marechi Blood – because he is a special boy, he has special blood. Basically, he has an incredibly rare blood type that drove demons mad with hunger. I have to presume this would also work on the vampiric-adjacent.
- Wind Breathing – I am not the first Bwoof Slayer applicant so I'm sure a lot of this has been explained already, so I will shrimply link the description for Wind Breathing's Techniques.
Sample: Yay!
