Seiga Kaku (霍 青娥) is a hermit.
Concept
Name
Her full name is Seiga Kaku (霍 青娥). Her nickname is Seiga Nyan Nyan (青娥 娘々, lit. Lady Seiga). Kaku (霍) is a genuine if uncommon Chinese surname pronounced "Huo" in Mandarin Chinese. Likewise, her given name Seiga (青娥), is pronounced "Qing'e" in Mandarin Chinese and literally means "Blue/Green Beauty". The Nyan Nyan (娘々) part of her nickname is an approximation of "Niang Niang", which is an archaic word for refering to an emperess, a consort, or a goddess.
Qing'e (青娥) is the name of a tale in the Chinese ghost story collection Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, in which the eponymous heroine, surname Wu (武), follows her father's footsteps to seek Dao but falls in love with a Huo Huan (霍桓) and marries him. She is presumed dead later in the story, but her husband finds out that she became a hermit with her father and seeks her return.
Appearance
In Ten Desires's official art, she has blue eyes and hair of the same color styled with two chinese-style hair loops secured with a relatively large hair stick. She wears a simple teal dress with a floral design with a white and blue vest with chinese patterns. On her waist is a flower secured by her belt. On her left leg is a talisman likely for Yoshika-related reasons. She sits on a flowing, translucent white cloth.
Relationships
She owns Yoshika Miyako.
Additional Information
Trivia
- There is an anachronism about her being interested about He Xiangu and her collaboration with Toyosatomimi no Miko. He Xiangu is allegedly born in the early Tang Dynasty. Seiga had to be born during or before the Southern and Northern Dynasties to be able to teach Miko Taoism.
- Even being the one that declares all her spell cards during her boss battle, Yoshika is the one that shoots most bullets. During such, her focus is mostly resurrecting Yoshika every time she becomes disabled.
Fandom
- Due to her nickname of "Seiga Nyan Nyan", Seiga is sometimes depicted as a cat-girl in fanart.
- Because of Seiga's blue clothes and her name sounding like SEGA (known for its Sonic the Hedgehog franchise), she is seen cosplaying as/with Sonic the Hedgehog
