I'm putting this here because it's closer to a fluff figure than a recurring character
Name: Izanami (honorifics "no-Mikoto" or "no-Okami")
Age: old enough to have created some of the 1st things ever from the Primordial Ocean, Yomi predates pretty much everything else
Species: Elder Shinto Deity, Darkness&Death/Oblivion
Gender: female
Height: variable but usually about 6 feet
Weight: variable but usually about 160 lbs or so
Hair: black
Eyes: black
Bio: She was created along with Izanagi by the 1st 2 deities Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi, Shinto Primordial Gods, and charged with creating, well creation, since there was nothing else. The 2 took the Ame-no-Ukihashi (floating bridge of heaven) to go to existence proper (the "bridge" is really a passage between dimensions, sorta like the Bifrost) and dipped the tip of the Ame-no-Nuboko (heavenly spear) into the "water" of the Primordial Ocean, and the drops that "fell" from the blade formed the 1st "land" ("land" meaning more like tangible stuff) the 1st drop creating Onogoroshima, their personal realm, sitting beyond the one the later deities would occupy. Eventually they wished to "mate" (here meaning, to create more people since the 2 lived alone beside each other), so they created a pillar and walked around it to meet on the other side. When they met, Izanami spoke first and Izanagi said this was improper but they continued the ceremony anyways. The resulting creations were the 1st Shinto "devils", which meant the Creation Ceremony had partially failed, so they asked the 2 Primordials what went wrong and were told Izanagi should have spoken 1st. So they re-did the ceremony and this time he spoke 1st, which resulted in 8 successful creations, which were "islands", and then 6 more, plus several Kamis. However when the God of Fire, Kagutsuchi, was born, the flames of his creation "killed" Izanami and she was thus sent to Yomi, the "shadowy land of the dead", which is a realm so scary even the 2 Primordials don't dare touch it. As Izanami was the 1st Dead, she was alone there and merged with it by consuming parts of it. Angered about her death Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi (who didn't go to Yomi for some reason) and then went into it himself to get her back (cause he's a badass like that). When he found her she said she wouldn't go back and he insisted before taking a comb from his hair and lighting it like a torch (all metaphorical of course since fire can't light the way inside the darkness of primordial oblivion) in order to see her. And he saw that her appearance had been corrupted by Yomi and screamed in fear and fled from her. She cursed his betrayal and swore to kill 1000 of his creations every day, to which he replied he'd birth 1000 and 1/2 in turn
Personality: melancholic, kind though quite grudge-prone, not haughty as most other Shinto gods are, she somewhat expects honorifics but does not *demand* them
