Character

Nora

野良

Nora is a former shinki of Yato and also Rabō. She has multiple names and owners, notably Ebisu and Takemikazuchi, though she is seen working for Yato and "Father". Nora appears to be a very petite young woman with straight chin-length black hair and has deep purple eyes. She also wears a hitaikakushi and pale-colored lipstick. She is most commonly seen wearing a white robe with a red and gold sash. The robe is worn similarly to a shinishozuku indicating that she's not a living person. She wears sandals on her feet along with white split-toed socks. Additionally, her person is adorned with the kanji representing the names given to her by her many masters. Her "true" form is actually a skeletal mermaid. However, after confronting Hiyori and realizing she genuinely cares about her; Nora sheds this form and vanishes. Nora, at first comes off as very gentle and kind. She seems to care deeply for Yato, and continually prompts him to use her, because she was once a human and all she wanted was to have a family that cared about her. That however did make her greedy enough that she turned to violence. Later, it is revealed how manipulating and cruel she is. She tries to kill Yukine, as well as taunt him, due to the fact that he was impure, but also because she wants Yato to use her instead of him. She also tries to kill Hiyori due to how close she has gotten to Yato and believing she has softened him. She is depicted to show interest in anything with beauty, as shown when she commented on Yukine's eyes. She, just as Yato, is influenced and controlled by the actions and demands of "Father," whom we later find out is Fujisaki Kouto. Although she is initially seen as a villain, she is another puppet in the grand scheme of Yato's father.
