She cherished the time she had with her grandfather and felt that she needed to be punished for causing his death. Nurugai cares greatly towards the people she has a deep connection with. After being influenced by Tenza and being by Shion's side, with his task of protecting her, Nurugai's opinion of samurai may have changed and sees that not all of them are bad. However, after Tenza makes Nurugai take her own desires into account, Nurugai realizes that she wants to stay alive to return back to her home. Because of this incident, Nurugai felt a strong guilt for leading her village's extermination, even believed that the reason why she is on a dangerous mission is because she was receiving divine punishment for her actions and accepted death. Her disdain for them stems from the fact that they were partially responsible for killing her people. Nurugai originally looked down on samurai, viewing them as stupid. According to Nurugai, she decided to appear this way after taking note of how the girls around her look, which made her appear a lot more feminine and attractive to men, much to her fancy. She keeps her bone necklace and carries her sword on her back.Ī year later, Nurugai chooses to allow her hair to flow back, continues to wear her hoop earrings, and wears a kimono. She also wears black pants that end somewhere halfway down her calves, also lacking any footwear.Īfter briefly settling in Hōrai, Nurugai changed into an orange vest with a mandarin collar and black pants. She is seen wearing very scrappy clothes, her top lacking sleeves, a bone necklace, and bandages wrapped around both of her wrists. Later in the chapters, Nurugai's hair becomes smoother.

She has dark tanned skin and long, black, messy hair that reaches down past her shoulders when left untied although she usually ties the hair up above her head.

Nurugai has quite an androgynous appearance, with her Asaemon having only figured out that she was a girl after undressing.
