Demon Slayer- Kimetsu No Yaiba
Daki (堕だ姫き Daki?) is one of the primary antagonists in the Entertainment District Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She is a Demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, being the secondary holder of the position of Upper Rank Six (上じょう弦げんの陸ろく Jōgen no Roku?), a position she shares with the primary holder, her older brother, Gyutaro.
Daki is a young girl with long black hair and sharp lime green eyes with long eyelashes. She is well-known for her beauty in the Entertainment District so much, that even elders still remembered her appearance.
When she is first introduced as a Warabihime, she appears to abide to the characteristics of the oiran style, having her hair styled into a bun with numerous hairpins and combs in it, as well as wearing traditional makeup. She wears a layered kimono with different flower patterns on it, keeping fragments of her Blood Demon Art as her obi.
When she transforms into a Demon, she gains a pink flower-like tattoo on her face, and wears a revealing two-piece version of her kimono with flower patterned knee socks, and her oiran shoes. After reclaiming her Demon obi, her hair turned silver with lime green ombre.
Daki is a very prideful and sadistic person, taking enjoyment in messing with her victims before finishing them off. She seems to have a somewhat caring relationship with her brother, Gyutaro, though she has been seen insulting and ridiculing him when they both fail, showing that despite her love for her brother, she isn't above ranting and lashing out at him to vent her frustrations upon their defeat and later wasn't even above cruelly insulting her brother on his ugliness and viciously claiming that he couldn't possibly be her brother.
As a courtesan, she seems to have a romantic side as seen during her typical interactions with her male clientele. Despite being hundreds of years old, she has displayed childish tendencies such as throwing tantrums and crying hysterically when things begin going against her or not getting her way and would then begin lashing out against anyone in order to vent her frustrations. During her usual interactions with her brother and fellow courtesans, Daki typically acted something akin to a spoiled, arrogant and bratty child.
These childish tendencies may be due to the fact that she was only a thirteen-year-old girl when she was first turned into a Demon. It was noted by Gyutaro that as a human she possessed an easily influenced, honest personality, causing her to easily take up the personality traits and words of those she trusts and admired to heart, as seen when she was shown to be easily influenced by Muzan. Her brother Gyutaro himself believes that the sole reason why she is like she is now was due to her being raised by him to be selfish and to only worry and care about herself due to taking to heart his words of "take before you're taken from", resulting in her current personality.
Due to her past of being burned due to poking out a Samurai's eye when he insulted Gyutaro in front of her as a human and her trauma of being left as extremely injured, Daki has displayed a strong level of pyrophobia, as seen where she panicked and screamed in pain and fear when she was set on fire by Nezuko Kamado's Blood Demon Art and was briefly reminded of her painful memories of the experience that then rendered her vulnerable due to the mental shock paralyzing her due to the remembrance of her past immolation as a human. Later it was implied that Daki's lingering psychological fear, pain and phobia for fire was also impeding her recovery and regeneration after being burned by Nezuko (Although this also may have been due to her Blood Demon Arts unique quality to harm demons.)
However underneath her malicious personality, spoiled attitude and selfishness, Ume is shown to possess a strong genuine love for her older brother, as seen during her time in Limbo, where despite Gyutaro attempting to sever ties with her and try to send her to heaven, Ume stubbornly refuses to abandon her brother, even if it meant going to hell together with him. Having tearfully reminded him that no matter what happened to them, as long as they were together they were at their strongest and no matter how many times she died and was reborn, she would always be his little sister.
As Gyutaro collapsed from exhaustion and fatigue from his severe wounds, the then Upper Rank 6, Doma, happened upon the siblings, having been wandering the district in search of beautiful Geishas to devour. Taking pity on them, he offered to help the pair by turning them into Demons, claiming that it was because he was a "nice guy". He then challenged them to become strong enough to be chosen by Muzan Kibutsuji and join the Twelve Kizuki alongside.
Daki is noted to be a powerful Demon, having been personally acknowledged by Muzan himself as being a "special Demon". This is further given credence as she was able to overwhelm and hold the advantage over Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira-all of whom were talented combatants, backing up her initial claims as being one of the Twelve Kizuki. However, her rank and position among the Upper Ranks is only thanks to her brother's powers and abilities that enhance her own.
