Background / History
Kaguya is a Hourai Person whose endless lifespan stems from consuming the Elixir of Immortality. Her immortality made her reluctant to form bonds with ordinary humans, whose entire lives seemed fleeting from her perspective. She is also identified as a former princess of the Moon Capital and later states that Tsukuyomi does not regard her as a true daughter, describing herself and the Watatsuki sisters as beings derived from Tsukuyomi's power. 11 108 135
After joining the Chat Group, Kaguya participates in the apocalypse-world mission. She volunteers to locate Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi's families, massacres the Takagi Family guards without taking the fight seriously, and captures Yuriko Takagi and Kiriko Miyamoto to deliver them to Su Luo. 9 10 During the mission, she demonstrates both her ruthlessness and her unusual attitude toward death by killing herself to settle a dispute, then immediately restoring herself unharmed. 12
Su Luo later visits her at Eientei in Gensokyo, where he contracts her into his Familia and leaves her several powerful Noble Phantasms. Kaguya recognizes that she has fallen in love with him, while her increased strength allows her to openly defy Yukari Yakumo. 32 Her relationship with Su Luo becomes central to her actions in Gensokyo, including her schemes to bring Yukari into their group and her proposal that Su Luo create a paradise by unifying Gensokyo. 55 107 108
When Su Luo connects Gensokyo's world to his own, Kaguya returns to the Moon Capital to settle her resentment toward Tsukuyomi. She overwhelms the Moon Capital, captures Tsukuyomi and its residents, and brings them to Gensokyo as prisoners. 135 136
Appearance
Kaguya can present herself as an elegant, refined princess, but her carefully maintained image often gives way to the appearance and habits of a reclusive gamer. 11 12 32
- Often wears luxurious clothing befitting a princess. 10
- Covers part of her face with her sleeve when speaking mysteriously or teasing others. 9
- Has long legs and an “exquisite” appearance. 32
- Can instantly change into clean formal clothing after restoring herself from injury or death. 12
- Uses a combat outfit designed to increase attack speed when preparing for battle. 56
Personality
Kaguya is playful, provocative, and shamelessly internet-savvy. She enjoys games, online banter, and suggestive jokes, having become an active troll despite her extremely long life. Her room is often cluttered with clothes, manga, blankets, and gaming equipment, and she reverts to a lazy shut-in demeanor whenever she is comfortable. 12 31 32
Her immortality has made her reckless and fond of courting danger. She treats death as a temporary inconvenience and has used self-destruction as a way to reset her condition. 12 56 However, this fearlessness is not simple carelessness: when Lugatium's indiscriminate barrage endangered weaker allies, she moved the battle away from them and fought without restraint only after creating distance. 160
Kaguya is also calculating and vindictive. She enjoys exploiting Yukari Yakumo's desire to improve her Boundary Power, repeatedly making Yukari work as her maid. 55 107 Her resentment toward Tsukuyomi is far harsher; after conquering the Moon Capital, she seeks to break Tsukuyomi's pride through humiliation. 136
Her long life leaves her deeply bored, motivating her interest in Su Luo's ambitions and in changing Gensokyo's stagnant order. 55 Despite her teasing nature, she becomes emotionally attached to Su Luo and is openly protective of their relationship. 32 107
Abilities & Skills
Manipulation of Eternity and Ephemeral
Kaguya possesses a temporal ability divided between Eternity and Ephemeral.
- Eternity fixes a target's time, preventing external influences from changing it. 11
- Ephemeral lets her accomplish actions in an instant. 11
- She uses Ephemeral to clean and restore an entire room almost immediately. 32
- In battle, Ephemeral grants movement too fast for Yukari Yakumo's gaps to track. 56
- She can use the ability to extend available time; Su Luo remains at Eientei for more than a day while only a much shorter period passes outside. 136
Hourai Immortality
As a consumer of the Elixir of Immortality, Kaguya can return after death in her original state.
- Physical death is not permanent; she can restore herself immediately after fatal injury. 12
- She can deliberately die to reset her physical condition. 12 56
- Her original immortality does not protect her soul from soul-destroying attacks. 61
- Su Luo's contract supplements this weakness by protecting her soul, allowing her to survive Ariel's Abyss Magic. 61
Contract Empowerment
Kaguya's contract with Su Luo provides protection and expands her potential.
- Her soul receives protection against attacks that would otherwise bypass Hourai immortality. 61
- The Divine Group contract raises her growth ceiling, contributing to her advancement to Dragon God level. 160

- Fights Demon King Ariel in direct melee combat, with their battle devastating the Elro Labyrinth and its surroundings. 61
- Uses crimson lotus flames, magical barriers, and multiple Noble Phantasms against Lugatium. 160
- Forms a moonlight bow and fires a silver arrow that pierces Lugatium's charged energy cannon and destroys its mechanical body. 160
- Can defeat armed human guards within minutes while appearing bored and unchallenged. 10

- Artoria — Close companion whom Kaguya describes as a fellow “sister”; Artoria protects Kaguya from interfering with Su Luo. 12
- Eirin Yagokoro — Lunar Sage, longtime caretaker, and trusted ally. Eirin worries over Kaguya's safety and accompanies her return to the Moon. 33 135
- Yukari Yakumo — Rival and fellow Divine Group member. Kaguya exploits Yukari's wish to learn Boundary Power, forcing her into maid work while continuing to torment her. 55 107 108
- Tsukuyomi — Moon Capital authority whom Kaguya regards as someone who never considered her a daughter. Kaguya conquers the Moon Capital and captures Tsukuyomi in retaliation. 135 136
- Wang Xiaomei, Lumine, and Frieren — Chat Group allies who fight alongside Kaguya during the Elro Labyrinth mission. 59 60
- Ariel — Hostile opponent after Kaguya kills the Queen Spider; their battle nearly destroys the Elro Labyrinth. 60 61
