Profile[]

Background[]

She is Kurono ASTER's younger sister and a cousin of RYATA MAXUM. She is a vampire, just like her relatives, but she has mastered her powers, unlike them.

Personality[]

She appears to be rather emotionless, but this is actually because she is shy. She has a gentle, although demure, demeanor.

In the past she was described as a hopeless romantic, though this is a side of her that she mostly keeps to herself.

Trivial Information[]

Kurami was the first female OBSCURALOID to be released publicly (though technically predated by Rene Raizel, but Rene is officially genderless, making him not a legitimate female character).
She is also the only female public OBSCURALOID.
Although she was released on June 13, her birthday is actually April 27.
Her character item is recognized as a handgun (seen in some of her official art).
Interestingly, she and her brother Kurono traditionally wrote their names in the eastern order, unlike the other members of their series who share the same voice provider (RYATA MAXUM, Rene Raizel, and AYATO), although this practice is being phased out for consistency purposes. Their Japanese names are still written in this order.
Her unusually colored eyes (nicknamed the "Aster eyes") give her limited X-ray powers.
She also has telepathy among her vampire powers.
She considers RYATA MAXUM her big brother and the two have a close, supportive relationship.
