Warring States, widow, young girl, kunoichi, shrine maiden...

Some of the other Servants are concerned she has too many attributes.

She lived in the late Warring States period and was mentioned in records of Nezu Village in Shinshu.

She was a kunoichi said to have served the Kai Takeda clan.

It is said that she is from the Kouga Mochizuki clan, but it's unclear whether she really was a ninja.

In many ways, her existence is contradictory to the way of ninja, whose very being relies on secrecy and concealment... Her position as a "renowned ninja" is a perhaps somewhat paradoxical title given to her.

Chiyome is depicted here as a being who possesses twisted power gained by inheriting a divine curse from Kouga Saburou, a forefather of Kouga.

While she serves her master as a shinobi, she also acts as the one and only shrine maiden of the giant serpent Orochi and prays to placate the wrath of a god.

Curse of the Orochi: B

A superpower that has been passed down for generations.

It is a curse of a great deity that has a deep connection with the ancestor of the Mochizuki clan of Kouga. While it torments the possessor's physical body as well as their mind, control of the curse will turn it into an invisible weapon.

One member from each generation of the Kouga Mochizuki clan possesses this power.

『Kuchiyose, Ibukidaimyoujin-Engi』

Rank: C

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Range: 1-30

Maximum Targets: 1

Conjuration: Call Upon the Great God of Ibuki.

Using a curse associated with Kouga Saburou, the mythical forefather of the Mochizuki clan of Kouga, she temporarily borrows the divine power of a terrifying daimyoujin.

Specifically, through a medium, she gains limited control of the eight-headed serpent deity Yamata-no-Orochi.

The "Suwa Engi no Koto" folklore collection and "Daikouji Kannnondou Engi" both describe how Ibukidaimyoujin possessed Kouga Saburou, using his clothing as a medium. Ibukidaimyoujin, the presiding deity of Mt. Ibuki and the divided spirit of Yamata-no-Orochi, materializes to place a deadly curse on the target.

Magical energy in the form of a giant serpent coils around the target, killing them.

She confronted the protagonist as Assassin Paraíso in "Seven Duels of Swordmasters." It's not quite clear whether she retained her memories of being Assassin Paraíso when she was summoned as a Servant of Chaldea. At the very least, she appears to have gone through the records of that particular event. And no one but Master could possibly comfort her as she berates herself for what that version of her did.
