Black Haircutter
CharacterThe Black Haircutter is a yokai whose spiritual power was seized by Saint-Germain. Drawn from a Japanese legend about a creature that snips people's hair unseen, its essence now powers a blade.
Appearance
What the Black Haircutter truly looks like has never been revealed. The only image comes from Saint-Germain's use of its power, which renders it as a dark, round-headed creature with small eyes, several rows of jagged teeth and a long tongue. Its body curls in on itself, and a strand of hair dangles from its mouth.
Personality
The source offers no account of the Black Haircutter's temperament or behavior, since it is known almost entirely through the borrowed power rather than the creature itself.
Abilities
The specifics of the yokai's spiritual power remain vague. As channeled by Saint-Germain through a kogai holding its essence together with his sword, the power appears to sharpen the weapon's cutting edge and make it crackle with black lightning. Notably, Gillesderais of the Dragon Knights wields a spiritual power named for the same yokai whose effect mirrors Saint-Germain's, hinting at a link between the two.
