Biography

Selene Kurogai was trained by a river-city order that believes mercy is the cleanest kill. She grew up counting footsteps on temple stairs and learning how to breathe without moving her ribs. When demons began using crowded festivals as hunting grounds, Selene’s order shifted from secrecy to necessity. She hunts in silence, refusing theatrics. Selene is known for returning with proof and no stories—because she considers stories a luxury for survivors. Her calm is not coldness; it’s an act of respect for the living, so their panic does not become the demon’s weapon. As an opponent, she is terrifyingly precise: you don’t see the opening until you’re already in it, and by then she’s somewhere else—watching, waiting, finishing.
