Kaguya

Kaguya was the first muse to be created and was later killed for making a contract with the demon of lust.



Description
Kaguya has the appearance of a young woman of average build. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Her hands are badly damaged from relentless usage at the weaving loom and some of the nails are broken. She is usually seen with bandages covering her hands.

Story
Originally Kaguya had the form of a dove. One day she became caught in a hunter's trap but was freed by an unnamed man who pitied her. She fell in love with the man and abandoned her bird form to take on a human form in gratitude for saving her life. The two married and were happy for many years.

Some time in April of RHO 053 the man fell ill (Probably tuberculosis due to the symptoms) But the couple could not afford any medicine. Kaguya begun tearing out her own feathers to use in weaving, and selling the fabric to hopefully pay for the medicine. As summer came and went she begun to fear that he may not survive the winter, her weaving became frantic and her hands suffered more and more until she could no longer move them. Finally she did what was forbidden to the muses and agreed to the demon of lust to give her the power to heal her husband.

She was burned on the cross the next day.
