I'm rewatching Demon Slayer in preparation for the new movie coming out soon, but also because I've been doing some art. While I do love writing complete stories for my characters, when I start thinking I cannot help but desire more interesting stories for them. I'm not a fan of inserting my own characters into canon, but I am rewatching the show through the lens of how would Ruri react if he was there? Might post some of those thoughts later....
Gonna start filling out character question charts cause there are too many Ruri thoughts in my brain
1. Growing up, Ruri's birthday was always celebrated by going to the moon festival. When he was very little, he thought the festival was his birthday celebration. After becoming a demon, Ruri started celebrating his birthday by watching the sunrise. He's not foolish enough to actually be caught in the direct line of the sun, but will position himself under a window so the rising sunlight comes in above him and hits the opposite wall.
2. Ruri is the most important person in his life. I don't have any other characters aside from his family who could fill that role...
3. On a down day/night, he takes off his Oiran and just wears the Hakama pants. Ruri only has the one style of clothing because it is the most comfortable for him to wear.
4. The temple he lives in was originally fairly run down. It took a while before the villagers went up there and cleaned everything up and fixed it, so it no longer looks abandoned. The ruins of the old Catholic Church and monastery dorms are still present, but in horrible disrepair. The temple itself does not get many visitors outside of New Year's, which suits Ruri very well. The few people who do come by on a regular basis are people complaining about the evil humans in their lives. This is basically a food report for him
5. The kids are his pets, for the short time he has them. Ruri does not dislike animals, but prefers not to keep them around.
6. Alcohol and a good meal raises the spirits
7. Ruri does have frequent depression. He calls them human relapses because they will be accompanied by memories of his parents and uncontrollable crying. The stress associated with being a demon makes him forget these things until it becomes too much then he has a mental break and falls into a depressive episode.
8. Ruri has never seen kabuki theater, but he would love it if he did. A true comedy fan
9. No favorite book for this boy, but he would love romance comedy if he could get his hands on any.
10. Ruri did get along with his parents. He was a mama's boy and a home body, but loved going out on his father's boat when given the chance. Because his parents got along his home life growing up was very nice.
11. I would probably convert Ruri to JJK or MHA universe, mostly because of franchise proximity. Not the biggest fan of either one, but I feel it would make sense for his character.
12. His favorite holiday is the Tsukimi moon festival on August 15th, his birthday
13. There is a mark that will appear and disappear on Ruri's chest. It is a red crescent moon and moonflower, his demon mark.
14. Ruri has never kissed anybody in his life! I cannot yet tell you if that is a lack of trying or just because he's asexual
15. He has loved and lost many people over the course of his life, but most of them have been forgotten.
16. If given three wishes, Ruri's first wish would be to be able to withstand sunlight. His second wish would be the death or destruction of Muzan, and his third wish would be infinite alcohol.
17. If stranded on an island, Ruri he would bring his pipe, his alcohol, his fan, and his hairpin. Whoever's with him is either going to be company or a meal for later.
18. "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched; They must be felt with the heart" Hellen Keller
19. Romance? Honestly, idk. I'd love to start doing RP with Ruri as a character, and involving him with other characters to see if that's even a possibility. Building him by myself I have so little understanding of how he would interact with other people 😓😭
20. Ruri's first language is japanese. He speaks with a Nagasaki accent with a hint of Nanban. He does retain some Dutch, but it only comes out when he's really mad and is borderline unintelligible.
21. His most prized possession is a toss up between the hairpin that used to belong to his mother and his alcohol collection. One of those things is sentimental and the other is just a matter of pride
22. Until becoming a demon, Ruri had never stolen anything in his life. After the fact, he has stolen so many things he's lost count of what was stolen and what was a gift (everything was stolen)
I'll continue to answer more of these questionnaires, but if you have any questions you'd like me to answer, feel free to comment or DM them
I have the two little ones Ruri takes in, but no intention of making them my OCs if I can help it. If anyone would like twin children OC's, or if there are two people who would like to take one each I, would be more than happy to do art of them. They are an element to Ruri's story I would prefer having a soundboard on. DM if interested
I'm in a mood where I want an unapologetic villain story, and I realized Ruri would make a great villain. They are a monster pretending to be a god while preying on the populace. Villains with morals are something I really enjoy, especially when you categorically don't agree with them and know their actions are wrong, but they are unapologetic and do not try to make any excuses for themselves. Wilful evil is such a gender!

- Fernam's Japanese name is Funato, written with the characters for ship and pass over, because he came from overseas
- Yuzuki's favorite color is blue. Both her husband and son have blue eyes
- Yuzuki does most of the cooking but Fernam will share European dishes at least once a week. She doesn't like them but won't tell him that
- While looking for a Japanese wife, one of his sailor buddies recommended Fernam to go buy the cheapest girl at an imekura. He went and fell in love with Yuzuki's music. It took him two months of saving to earn enough to buy her
- The first and only time Yuzuki fought Fernam was when Ruri was born. She was insistent on his name, but Fernam had not settled on a more western one to give him and so gave in
- Fernam was by no means progressive or a feminist, but because he knew so little about Japanese culture and living, he tended to defer to Yuzuki about most things. Growing up with this made Ruri more respectful of women than the average man of his time
- Ruri's hair pin was a gift to his mother from his father to mark their 5 year anniversary. It is the only personal item he kept from that time
- Ruri was picked on by the other children of the village for being half nanban, so he spent most of his time growing up hiding in the house with his mother. The girl who lived next door to them secretly had a crush on him, but her parents forbid her from ever interacting with Ruri, so he never found out
