Profile-

A rare type of Mamono, the Empress species was born by the efforts of the original Demon King in his desperation to slay his enemies and cling to his throne during the end of his reign. There are five subspecies in the Empress subspecies including the Empress of Talons, Fangs, Tounges, Feathers, and Eyes. Using sorcery and demonic energy, Empress use enchantments with their own blood to wield weapons that bend to their will, regardless of physical skill level. The Kogo No Umo use knives in order to capture and seduce prey.

When born, the Empress of Feathers are born with great wings with feather like ivory. As they grow older and reach maturity, they must make a decision, remove their wings forcible, or wait for them to shed. While the Kogo can wait for them to shed and unltimately lose her wings anyway, the amount of feathers suitable for enchantment is reduced due to the aging of the feathers, some no longer being suitable for enchantment. The painfull process of removing the feathers forcefully is rewarded with a higher payload. The feathers if forceably removed must be cleaned thoroughly and carved into a shape prefered by the Empress, if they shed then they can be cleaned lightly and be left well enough. The natural shape of these feathers are suitable for their purpose, but one can tell the individual not just by outwards appearance by their design, those leaving them as is are considered dishonorable and lazy. Then, after carving, they begin the bloodletting process which can last up to a week and drain as much as three pints of blood. The blood is then used to fill and enchant the newly carved knives, which an empress can then use telekinetically given the link of demonic energy in their blood and nervous system. While the craftsmanship of their knives can signify their drive and personality, the amount of knives they wield can be use to gauge their power, the most powerful wielding up to 200 blades. These blades are near indestructable, but loss of one is loss of a peice of ones own self, and forever changes the Mamono. Eventually, if all are broken, she becomes a mindless husk. They are known to be serious and formal, graceful even in combat unless they are the kind whom are considered dishonorable.

With the Demon King being usurped, the Empress family of races became more agressive towards mankind in a different fashion. Their blades no longer pierce flesh, but now pierces the soul of men and women alike, each stab leaving demon energy residue behind and taking with it spirit energy. The residue of demon energy left behind fills the victim with the same lust that the Empress experiences, and the spiritual energy that trickles towards her enhances her thirst even more. Any kind of man may catch the particular interest of an Empress, and once she takes in a flavor she particularly enjoys, she will use her knives to press him to a secluded area. An empress with many knives will even cocoon a man in them to bering them somewhere more private. From there, she will remove the knives and straddle the man. Roacking their hips back and forth, she will stab at he man during copulation aggressively, bring bothe great pleasure, intoxicating them both. If the Empress has many knives, the frequency and number of kives stabbing the man's spirit will be so great that it will completely saturate their souls with demon energy, turning them into the most thoroughly corrupted incubus. If they set their sights on a woman, the saturation of the stabs, while bringing intense pleasure to the woman, will turn her into a succubus. When they take a victim for the first time, they throughly dominate them, establishing their presence, power and authority.

They either make a wife out of an Empress they made, or take a man as a husband given if they like his flavor. Once they take a husband, the man is the only one whom can make them lose their composure. Unlike most Mamono, they see their husband as their equal and their prize. Sex for them is a duty and activity to be done at least one a day if times are scarce, one to be thoroughly engaged in and enjoyed one hundred percent, which it always is. They will try to keep him close at all times, but can wait for their love, but will insist that he preforms his duties, going to work, and stuff of the like, insisting that just because she's a Mamono that he still has to live with honor. Also, unlike other Mamono, they will leave their lover if they do not approve of their level of honor if they have any honor themselves. When this happens, they will grieve like a widow for a long while before taking another husband. Most men whom they take as a husband work great lengths to achieve the honor to satisfy their expectations. The Empress of Feathers will also understand that some men are non combatative and will stand in his place against his enemies, bringing them to their knees and making them beg mercy from him as is their husband's will. Given their intense sense of grace they make a great head for any househould, orchestrating finances, aesthetics, cleaning, food preparation expertly, and make great mother figures, resting in the the perfect place, balanced between strict and nurturing.

Should their lover die, their blades will become physically substantial with greif. Dependent on if it was caused intentionally by someone else, they will either kill them and abandon humanity, or if they have no duties such as children, will set her own blades upon herself.
