Character Name: Kurai
Series: Angel Sanctuary
Age: Appears around 13
Canon: Angels and demons and magical transvestites, oh my! Being in love with your sister is not easy, especially for someone like Mudou Setsuna who besides having to deal with the backlash of society, turns out to be the reincarnation of the Organic Angel Alexiel, who once started a rebellion against Heaven. Oops! And so, in order to protect the people he loves and restore the balance between Heaven, Hell, and the Earth, Setsuna will have to undergo a number of heroic tasks; including but not limited to getting stuck in the body of a hot, hot chick, fighting horrible rapist babies, and confronting God himself. It's hard out here for a Messiah.
Amongst Setsuna's harem allies we find Kurai, the last heir to the kingdom of Gehenna, located in the uppermost layer of Hell. When we first meet her, Kurai is anything but princesslike. Loud, brash, and tomboyish, she's determined to find her adored Alexiel-sama's reincarnation to help in the war against Heaven, and is very disappointed to find out that Setsuna doesn't remember anything from his past life. As the story progresses, we find that underneath all this tsuntsun lies an innocent, caring, self-sacrificing girl who occasionally gets adopted by deadly monsters, d'aaaw! Gradually, Kurai (who has now fallen hard for the Messiah) starts mellowing out and growing a bit more like a woman.
Note: In Japanese, Kurai speaks in a very boyish fashion, to the point of using the masculine pronoun when referring to herself. She also speaks in a dialect characteristic of Anagura, the layer of Hell where Gehenna is.

Maaaan, I'd heard nasty stuff about the lower levels of hell before, but this is seriously takin' things too far! The smell of sulfur is nothing compared to rotting corpses melting in a pool of... is that OATMEAL? Yuuuck, whatever they did to deserve that, it musta been something real bad. Wow, it's bubbling and everything.
What's worse, I can't understand a word of the language they speak here. And people complain about the dialect in Anagura! Ch', I'd like to see them smartasses try to understand someone who's missing half of their jaw. And no, sign language ain't an option, either, 's kinda hard to follow directions from someone who ain't got no arms to point with, yanno?
Hnn... I'm pro'lly just askin' the wrong guys. Maybe if I talked to someone who's got a spare pair've arms or two... Oh! Wait! There's that monster in the lake I saw earlier! Heeee~y, over here! Mind comin' a bit closer? The name's Kurai and I think I'm sorta kinda lost, so if you could point me in the direction've- W-WHOAAAA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING PUT ME DOWN! I SAID POINT NOT GRAB ME AND TOSS ME THERE! I can walk just fine on my own, thanks!
No, no, I don't care if you thought I was a cute, nubile boy and wanted to be friends or whatever. When you want someone to like you back you don't go around extendin' your tentacles and feelin' 'em up all over like that. You can't force that kinda thing outta people! Love's a thing that needs to be cultivated - and I don't mean cultivated like those badtouch vines by the shore, 'kay? I know, it must be hard for you to meet people with those looks've yours, but your attitude ain't makin' it any better.
Listen, you gotta be yourself, alright? Some people will like it, others won't, but that's just the way the world works. We all make mistakes, so you should tell 'em how you really feel and if they're willin' you'll be able to start again from swamp one. You don't seem like a bad guy to me so I'm sure they'll understand, all you gotta do is make an effort. And if it's about love, you could always pretty up yourself a lil! Maybe some water-resistant lip gloss or a perfume that's not Eau de Kraken. Look, I'll even help you do your tentacles so you can try and win their heart! But we're gonna need some extra help 'cause that's a lotta work. You got any family here? An uncle Cthulhu or-
...W-What? N-No, sorry, but I'm pretty sure I AIN'T your mother!
