Personality: Kurama is polite, kind, compassionate, intelligent, and cool-tempered. He is extremely devoted to his beloved mother and his friends, to the point of self-sacrifice. If someone threatens either his family or friends, or even teases about hurting them, they will feel the extent of Kurama's wrath. When angered, he shows the coldness of his original nature and shows no mercy.

Occupation: Student. Top of his class at Meiou High School which is one of the best private schools in Japan and very hard to enter. He is very popular among his fellow students, especially the girls and even some of the boys, whom all have crushes on him. Even the teachers adore him.

Family: Shuuichi is very dedicated to his human mother, Shiori. He loves her more than anything, and has shown a willingness to give even his life to save her. His mother remarried, and he now has a stepfather and a step-brother, also named Shuuichi.

Background:

Known as Shuuichi Minamino in the Ningenkai (Human World), he is actually the reincarnated legendary fox spirit Kurama in the Makai (Demon World), and his fame stretches far and wide across its borders. The powers that he could wield always involve plants, and his favorite weapon is the "Rose Whip": a whip covered with thorns derived (of course) from a rose. As a youko, his preference for weapons varies. During his thousand or so years as a youko(fox spirit), his purpose in life was to hunt for knowledge and power, but a hunter managed to critically wound him. He tore his soul from his body in desperation, and fled to the Ningenkai: a place safe enough to allow him time to recuperate. He found Shiori Minamino: a kind and gentle human who was carrying a child in her womb. Kurama took over the child's body and got reincarnated in the process.

Having taken on another form, Kurama was renamed Shuuichi Minamino. Being a youko at heart, he planned at first to regain his powers and to leave his human family at age fifteen. But being blessed with a human heart, Kurama learned to love his human mother above his own life, and would gladly trade it for Shiori's safety. An instance occurred during his childhood wherein he fell along with a few plates after trying to reach something from a high shelf; Shiori quickly shielded his head from hitting the floor, but her arms got harshly wounded by the porcelain shards of the shattered plates, rendering them scarred for life. Seeing the great sacrifice Shiori went through for him, Kurama's love for his human mother grew extensively. Afterwards, he became the perfect son for Shiori, and did almost nothing to displease her.

Weapons:

Kurama has the power over plants which he uses with expertise.
Here are but a few of his favorite plants he uses in an attack:

Rose Whip

Kurama's most highly used attack. He summons a rose into a long, thorned whip which he can use almost like an extension of his own body. It's still a living plant, able to wrap tightly around its intended target. It is also used to slice Kurama's opponents with the long, pointed thorns.

Fuu-Ka EnbuJin
(Blast-Flower Waltz-Formation)

This is more of a defensive strategy than an attack. A flurry of rose petals surrounds Kurama, swirling slowly like a horizontal vortex. The petals are razor-sharp, and will shred anything it comes in contact with.

Janen-Ju
(Wicked-thoughts Tree)

One of Kurama's many tree and plant attacks.

KyuKetsu-Shokubutsu
(Blood-Sucker Plant)

An incredibly risky attack, either Kurama or Youko Kurama can call a Makai plant from their bodies that seeks out and eats demon blood, and the risk of the plant either turning on them or killing their bodies upon summoning was quite high until Kurama received the Fruit of Past Life. The plant will latch onto the heart of whomever its target is and suck the blood quickly from them.

ShokuYou Shokubutsu
(Demon-eater Plant)

This is a plant that has a distinct craving for demon flesh.
