Appearance

Her eyes were special, having a purple color with a composite appearance similar to that of insects since they do not have a pupil. Shinobu kept her hair combed at the back of her head in a flat yakai-maki bun, secured with a white, turquoise, and light purple butterfly ornament. Shinobu was quite short in height and was often described as a small and weak looking person, which is later reinforced by her claim of her not possessing the physical strength necessary to cut off a Demon's head like the other Pillars. According to Zenitsu's comments, only her beauty would have been enough for Shinobu to earn a living. Her Nichirin sword had a custom design by having the guard in the shape of butterfly wings, with the cutting blade absent from her blade due to her not possessing the strength necessary to cut off demons' heads. However, the sword is designed to inoculate poison made from wisteria flowers which makes up for her lack of physical strength. She wore the standard Hunter uniform consisting in her case of a straight-lined purple-dyed black jacket with black hakama pants tucked into a butterfly-patterned kyahan cloth around her legs and purple zori sandals. She also wears a gray haori with a butterfly wing pattern, which fades into a turquoise and pink color on the sleeves; Said Haori belonged to her late sister Kanae. When she was younger, her hairstyle was shorter, with a single long sideburn in each ear and she wore a white haori and did not wear lipstick.

[8][9] However, these personality traits mask her true self; Before losing her sister, Shinobu was very strict, she was easily irritated and almost always had a disagreement with her sister's opinions, appearing more mature. The circumstances following the death of her sister Kanae caused Shinobu to have an intense hatred for demons due to everything she lost at a young age, along with the death of her parents, almost all of her Tsuguko, and the families of her apprentices. at the Butterfly Mansion. This hatred is so strong that she is in a near-constant state of extreme anger,[10] it is felt by Tanjiro and her keen sense of smell when the two have a conversation one night. Her desire for revenge made her unable to live the normal life her sister had wished for her, and instead she devoted the entirety of her energy to defeating the demons. During her fight with Doma, she reveals that she has always been envious of her fellow Pillars for not having an adequate height and physique to be able to cut off the heads of the Demons, having developed an inferiority complex.
