             I came to realize I’m always alluding to the Kobayashi curse which is essentially their bloodline being tainted by that of yokai. There are three sects, those who perform often have the more conventionally beautiful traits; being blessed by Yuki-Onna’s blood is prized. Those who handle the daily affairs such as the financial aspects, booking the entertainers dinners, parties, gatherings && those who help in the structure of keeping the Okiya to prosper are often Kage-Onna or more familiar even bizarre descendants, they’re not as lethal. The final are the assassin groups that are often if not always inheritors to strong connections, Nure-Onna, Hone-Onna or Jorogumo. Due to the usage of RCT, most women are able to conceal their gruesome features, Sayuri included. In the moonlight, underneath the stars, one can see the outlining of who they really are or in the privacy of their quarters they take off the mask.

           This is a strong indicator why many who have come to romantically adore Sayuri will fall on misfortune, it is naturally written, she tends to pull away because of this or even show great distress. Due to her being a descendant of Hone-Onna she is referred to as a bride of death, though, her lineage is starting to decrease in numbers which to the Kobayashi Clan is bittersweet as they are known to have a stoic elegance to them. Some of her famous Geiko robes include images of skeletons to compliment this particular nature, none of this information is revealed in the Past Arc due to a young Sayuri being terrified of being viewed poorly ; only in the darkness can one see traces of her skeletal hand.
