Kanna Ōtsutsuki

Slender and of average height, Kanna has fair skin that Taizō counts as strikingly beautiful. Her eyes are grey, and her dark blue hair falls to her upper back, gathered into twin ponytails with face-framing strands reaching her chin and bangs cut in a hime style. She wears a grey kimono in her youth; in later years her hair thickens and lengthens and she takes to a shrine-maiden's attire.

Warm yet firm-minded, Kanna speaks her thoughts plainly and pours herself into saving her mother and her village. When it comes to her own heart she turns shy, slow to confess what she feels for Asura. In her married years she embraces Hagoromo as a father of her own, calling him Father and grieving deeply when he passes.

Kanna comes from a village gripped by a mysterious sickness that claims her mother, and she first mistakes Asura and Taizō for bandits when they arrive on Hagoromo's errand to help. A wound taken in the scuffle is healed by Asura, winning her trust, but she learns the God Tree's influence is what keeps her mother ill and, with the elder insisting nothing can be done, she is made to send Asura away.

When she discovers he is quietly searching for clean water to save the village, she gathers the villagers behind him, and over a year-long dig she studies Ninshū at his side, showing a gift for healing chakra and mastering the Mystical Palm Technique. The following year they strike uncontaminated water and her mother recovers. Traveling back alongside Asura, her feelings for him now grown, she witnesses his selection as Ninshū's successor and lends her power to repel his brother Indra's vengeful assault.

In time she and Asura marry and raise two sons and a daughter, and she remains at her family's side through Hagoromo's peaceful final moments.
