[𝕜𝕟𝕪 𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕠𝕟𝕩𝕠𝕔] 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅”Goodnight..!” . . .
characters included: Genya Shinazugawa, Risa Hayashida.
(this might be a little short so sorry in advance😭🙏)
“CAW! CAW!”
The loud cries of a crow drew attention of some passers towards the animal and Risa Hayashida, the Dragon Hashira, while she was moving towards a town. She quickly offered the bird her arm as a place to rest and softly caressed his head.
Risa: “Long time no see, Naoki.” she smiled at the bird. “I see your wing is getting better now. You grew very beautiful feathers!” she remarked since the bird accidentally flew into a very dull, hard tree in the past week.
Naoki loves the attention received by her but stops himself from acting silly as he wants to be known as a very serious crow by the demon slayer ; “North-northwest! North-northwest! Your next mission is taking place in north-northwest! You are obligated, by the headquarters, to patrol the village Birakoshi this night!”
Risa: “Oh, I see. Is it far away from where we are right now?”
Naoki: “23 miles only!”
She chuckled at his “only” comment.
Risa: “Understood, big guy. I’m heading right over there!
Naoki: “Ke-ke-ke!” he softly cackled before flying up again. “Start running, start running! You won’t get in there if you keep the same pace!”
Risa rolled her eyes as she waved goodbye when the crow finally left her alone.
When it was time for Naoki to leave, she immediately adjusted herself to the new location. According to him, there were multiple complaints and announcements from villagers about demon’s night attacks to the Demon Slayer Corps but thankfully no one died, only some suffered minor injuries.
Risa: “23 miles, you say…”, she thought to herself, looking up at the bright sun. It was only 10 o’clock in the morning. “If I keep the pace, I should arrive around.. 4 o’clock!” she smiled to herself as she made her way there.
Except… it did not. The sun was slowly setting down when she reached the destination and all of the villagers were already preparing for the night. No problem, as soon as the moon shows up, the patrol will begun.
She remained at a distance, observing the little houses from afar and not making her presence known. If she would, maybe the opponent will realise and retire.
She has to be on guard, of every sound and every move.
After a while…
It appears that, in that particular night, another demon slayer just so happened to come across that area.
It was Genya.
Genya: “Crap, that bastard really got a grip on me! “he groaned to himself as he looked down at his injuries and wiped his foamy mouth. Currently, he is in his demon form.
“Whatever, at least I erased that demon’s ass out of this earth, hahah!”
“I’ll be a hashira, soon enough.”
However, even though his ability brings a great advantage such as regeneration, he also doesn’t want to be seen in this form so he quickly tries to find a shortcut to get out of there.
“Hm..?” Risa turn around for a second, hearing heavy thud of boots from afar. The trees were not helping her discovering the cause of those sounds, so standing up was the only solution. It couldn’t been an animal.
Risa: “Is that the demon that has attacked the villagers?!” she thought to herself, as she noticed a very predominant feature of this demon’s appearance: bright yellow highlights.
Risa did not had time to think- it has to be it! She needs to take that demon down or never. Her sword was quickly withdrawn out of it’s scabbard as she practically sprinted towards the opponent when, in reality, she mistook Genya for a demon.
He did not noticed or heard her until she stepped and snapped in half a small branch-
Genya: “Huh-“ his instincts made him turn his head around instantly; but seeing a blade 2 centimetres away from his face was not on his today’s list. His eyes widened and jumped away, confused by this encounter. “What the hell?!”
He took a better look at Risa and immediately recognised her, as he saw her multiple times at the Butterfly Mansion. The only question in mind that occured to him was; “Why?” Why was she attacking him?!
It did not helped when Risa began using her breathing techniques too. Everytime he tried to spoke up or notify her of the actual situation, she immediately shut him down with unnecessary thrusting kicks offered directly into his jaw.
Genya: “WHAT TH-“ Yet again, his sentence did not had the chance to finalize since she was already slamming him against the trees.
He hit his head a litte too hard, making his surroundings foggy but observed that the hashira was moving towards him closer and closer. He couldn’t utter a single word, only mutter gibberish.
Risa: “Save yourself the prayers. Demons like you will not need them in hell anyway.” she stated, grabbing him by the hair and raising the sword up, ready to slash his head.
“First form, Inferno Breath”
Risa: “Goodnight, demo-”
Genya: “I’M NOT A DEMON!” He finally shouted, making the hashira stop right at limit and nearly cutting the skin barrier of his neck.
“What?” She was a little confused and curious, as if she was demanding an explanation for his statement.
Genya: “I am not a demon!” he repeated himself, with his more concise, angry usual tone. “I’m a demon slayer, dammit!”
Risa took a better time examining his face features. Surely, he doesn’t look like your typical average demon but how can he explain his predominant physical traits?
Risa: “What’s your name?” she simply asked, slighty moving the blade from his neck in order to have a chance to explain himself but not completely take away her sword out of his sight.
Genya: “…” he was a little hesitant but still did so; “.. Genya Shinazugawa.”
Risa: “Huh.”
After hearing him pronounce his last name, her eyes widened up open. She quickly withdrew her blade into the sword’s case.
Risa: “……Is he.. Is he Shinazugawa’s sibling?” she asked herself as she finally began to see the obvious similarities between the siblings.
Her face expression completely changed into a horrified one, her jaw hitting the floor.
Risa: “Are you Shinazugawa’s brother!?” she frightfully asked, hoping it would a no answer but seeing him nod to her question made her really embarrassed.
She quickly helped him get up and checking him up for any injuries. “I am so, so sorry! It was a huge mistake!”
Genya: “…It’s fine.” his voice quickly became more softer and lower. He looked away the entire time Risa talked to him.
Seeing him not so resposive made her even more anxious and internally screaming; “He hates me now, I know it!”
In order to make herself feel less guilty about the whole situation, she brought Genya to the Butterfly Mansion in order to get his wounds healed. She insisted, despite him being his to bring him on her back since he suffered a major injury in his right leg.
By the time they arrived, his demon form already disappeared and looked normal.
Risa: “We arrived! I don’t know if Shinobu is still awake but she should be.” she smiled, staring at the building for a few seconds. “H-“
Before she could speak again, he quickly got off her back and entered the mansion , only muttering a quick “Thank you.” It made Risa smile a bit awkwardly but still waved back at him, saying one more thing before ending their conversation;
“Goodnight, Genya!”
(sorry for any grammatical mistakes, it’s currently 3am, i lack sleep and english is my second language but i will definitely check it again in the morning after i wake up😭)
also, if u reached here tysm for reading and take a moment to appreciate my art piece hahah

★ II. Personality 🌷
Risa , the Dragon Hashira, is very well known not only for being an extrovert but also for an empath, showing sensitivity and understanding towards the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps. She has no trouble lending a hand in need even for the smallest inconvenience possible, as she considers it’s the Hashira’s duty to make others feel comfortable and welcome. She makes it very clear from the start that if you ever need something you can count on her!
However, with close friends, she does seem to be more on the playful, mischievous side as she loves to pull (harmful) pranks and tricks! She thrives on the reactions of others to her pranks, finding joy in laughter and amusement. But, sometimes, it does get out of hand… (as one time Risa, together with Tengen, faked a love letter from Mitsuri to Obanai but as consequence got her butt beaten by him🪦.Tengen managed to run away from the situation tho💀💀)
★ III. Appearance 🌸
In her childhood, to keep Risa safe from head lices, Hayami would often keep her hair really short but still cute, a short hime cut.
(example)
However, in her adolescence years, to honor her mother after her passing, she let her hair grow really long below her knees. It gave her some closure every time she looked in the mirror, thinking that it’s the only way to feel somehow connected to her.
She has a very long luscious hair kept in a low ponytail, ranging from the top of her head with a light coral that eventually fades to a cardinal red color. She kept the same face-framing layer from her childhood, a hime cut but longer sidelocks.
Thanks to her hair color it really accentuates the intensity of her azure eyes with a little bit of light yellow. Unlike average people, her pupils are thin and sharp, similar to a reptile. Her thick eyebrows doesn’t go unnoticed either.
Her attire consists in:
• top & bottom : standard demon slayer uniform (dark brown).
(she did got the revealing one just like Mitsuri from that perv but ultimately declined, shoving that “defected” uniform into his mouth and forcefully made him chew.)
• she wears a large indigo haori made by her mother, filled with red and white flowers.
•footwear : sandals idk😭
★ IV. Breathing Style 💐
I should probably give a little bit of context (cringe aleeert😍😍 my 14 year old ass ateee ) :
Risa retains an ancient sword that she managed to obtain at the age of 12 years old by overcoming certain obstacles in order to become a Demon Slayer. This particular sword is actually possessed by a deity’s spirit who couldn’t find it’s peace yet after being killed centuries ago. Even though his physical body died, his spirit still remained lost on earth and withdrew itself in the sword.
The spirit’s name is Ryoma and takes form of a dragon with long horns and fluffy fur. The rest of his body is packed with scales. Not everyone can see him, though. So, sometimes, it looks like Risa is talking to herself. (which creeps people out…)
It might seem confusing but she gets a boost of power, benefiting not only from her swordsmanship styles but also from Ryoma’s strength. However, it is not unlimited as Ryoma needs energy to fight. So whenever he gets too tired, Risa will just simply use her style. (squiggly movements, similar to a dragon’s pattern)
He restores his energy by either sleeping.
In some cases, Ryoma can fuse with Risa’s breathing style, becoming more powerful but uses ton of energy.
(she also refuses for anyone to forge her weapon as it actually hurts for Ryoma. only she gently takes care of it.)
Dragon Breathing Style consists in 7 known forms:
1. First Form: Inferno Breath.
2. Second Form: Azure Tempest.
3. Third Form: Crystal Rain.
4. Fourth Form: Ryū Roar.
5. Fifth Form : Mizzle Dance.
6. Sixth Form: Savoury Munch.
7. Seventh Form: Immolate.
(will explain these forms another time😍😍)
★ V. Abilities
Even before becoming a Demon Slayer, she was blessed enough with a muscular built passed by her ancestors and having denser muscles than an average person. (not like Mitsuri tho ofc, maybe just three times denser).
Besides her strength, enhanced eyesight are also one of her main abilities that contributes greatly in battles. She can very clearly see the opponent’s next move.
Speaking of speed, she would definitely be the same level as Rengoku.
It might sound weird but sometimes, in a battle field, in order to keep the same speed as the opponent she uses all of her limbs to move, climb, drag herself around faster. (think just like Inosuke lol😭)
Her stamina and endurance is pretty average, it depends whenever she benefits some special effects from her Breathing Technique.
★ VI. Backstory 🎥
Risa- just a newborn.
- She was born into a community, far away from the other villages. This clan is thought to be a descendant from Ryoma, an immortal supreme creature that existed throughout the centuries on earth, before Muzan was ever born.
(PAST)
It is said that it’s clan appearance took apart when, several decades ago, a small community of villagers fled to the top of a mountain to escape starvation and the demons unleashed by Muzan. There, they found a cabin inhabited by a tall, pale man with platinum, silky hair and celadon eyes. He looked too beautiful to be human. The man, sad upon hearing their unfortunate story, suggested living in the same area as him only with the condition to help eachother out. Over time, living close with one another , they finally started creating familles together, they had the time to finally focus on what they can improve on skill-wise. Danger wasn’t a problem for them anymore as demons weren’t usually crossed the paths towards their new “hideout”.
The tall, white-headed man was finally happy to be surrounded by humans.
His name was Ryoma. But.. was he actually immortal?
[PRESENT]
Risa was the only daughter of the Hayashida Clan, which had only been blessed with boys for hundreds of years. The arrival of a girl in the family was seen as a positive change, as Risa would grow up to become a strong, beautiful, and inspiring lady who could serve as a role model for her peers.
Until.. all of their hopes were crushed.
```
Late one night, an unexpected and vicious attack was launched by demons sent by Muzan at the small village, catching its inhabitants off guard. The surprise attack resulted in the deaths of many, leaving only a handful of survivors. Among the survivors were Risa and her oldest brother, Rikku. In a desperate attempt to escape, Rikku fled to the closest village with Risa's baby sister cradled in his arms, but not before sustaining a major injury to his abdomen. Even though he had never left the mountain, Rikku managed to grab an old map of Japan before fleeing in search of refuge. However, the journey was fraught with danger and difficulty. With each passing moment, Rikku's wounds grew worse, he had left a massive trail of his own blood. Plus, Rikku was still far away from the village he had to refugee in with Risa and to report the Demon Slayer Corps about the night attack.. It was late.
He failed everyone from his family.
```
The only thing that made him proud in that moment was the fact that he protected his baby sister so well- no scar on her delicate, fair skin. He had no choice but to rest under the nearest cheery blossom tree and accepting his destiny in a matter of hours.
This was his last moment to admire nature’s beauty one last time before closing his eyes and falling into a deep, deep sleep for eternity.
```
For Risa’s luck, just the next day, he was found dead. His corpse, along with baby Risa sleeping peacefully in his arms, were found by a woman who just happened to live in the village Rikku was supposed to arrive in. The woman, named Hayami, noticed a small letter beside the young man, written in blood. Upon reading his letter and their situation, she felt pity for his fate and decided to give him a proper burial and took Risa into her care.
Nothing is known of her expect the fact that her name is Hayami. She is just a simple, hard-working women who sadly her husband “died” and suffered from infertility. It caused her a great moment of happiness finding Risa, thinking she could finally have someone to take care of and cherish.
```
Risa- a teenager. (12 years old)
Growing up, Risa has always showed her admiration and gratitude towards the swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps. Whenever she would see one doing a check-up in her village, she did not missed a chance into chatting with them about their routines, strenght and overall their life style as a demon slayer. The first Demon Slayer she ever talked to was actually an hashria, Uzui Tengen.
By the time Risa was 12 years old she already found out about her origins from Hayami. For some time she could only feel emptiness. It definitely messed her up, both psychically and mentally. Being the only blood line survivor that knew nothing of her past made her feel like a stranger to her own heart.. However, because of this reason, she did not wanted to happen similar or worser to someone else. So she made a very drastic choice of becoming a Demon Slayer.
When she told Hayami about her future plans she had her full support, letting her know she will always be by her side. Before attending the Final Selections, she had only one wish- visiting her hometown where she actually came from.
In this case, Hayami handed Risa the old map Rikku had with him the whole time he tried to escape. Thanks to this map, she was able to track the same path where her family used to live.
Risa took a few days to reach her final destination. As Risa made her way towards her destination, she couldn't help but notice the overgrown plants that had taken over the small houses. The sight filled her with a sense of melancholy as she tried to imagine how her family used to live there before their passing. How were they as people? What did they used to like? Were they good people? All kinds of questions started to pop in her mind. Suddenly, she stumbled upon a dusty scabbard with a sword inside. As she cautiously touched the handle, Risa felt a strange sensation, an electric shock, which made her instinctively drop it. However, she gathered her courage and took a closer look at the katana on her second attempt. As she carefully took out the sword, she noticed how it’s blade was changing colors to a lavander color which totally confused her, not knowing why. (yet LMAOO)
Thinking this might be the only evidence she can gather from her bloodline, she did not hesitated to bring it back with her home.
It was way too early when she arrived home, not even the sun was up by then. But, to her surprise, the doors were freely open with no one inside. Where was her mother? It coulnd’t been an attack by a demon, that’s for sure.. there were no blood. Risa had yelled for Hayami but to no response- she wans’t here.
That’s when Risa ran outside of her yard, trying to find someone to ask for help from her neighbors but the only sight she could catch was a large crowd in the middle of the commune, asseverating remarks of someone to be immediately burned. Making her way to see what was going on, every noise surrounding her quickly turned into a muffle and her vision blurred.
Her mother was tightly tied to a skate, ashamedly looking down at the ground. Hayami was a demon all along that outlived every single relative of her family years ago. Ultimately, she got saved by Lady Tamayo and inherited proprieties that once belonged to her family, making her very rich. However, because of Zaiaku Jigoku, a noble who wanted to buy some land owned by Hayami but was rejected, he managed to find all kinds of secrets about her and her identity and turned everyone against her to get all of her wealth after her death. He had a reason to execute her now- for being a demon and lying about it.
Calling out for her mother and intervening between people to save her was in vain - the guards sent by Zaiaku took hold of her and did not let her interfere with her mother’s execution. Hearing her daughter’s cries, Hayami couldn't do anything but sadly smile at her for the last time before being consumed by the sun. Even though she could have easily killed the humans, she chose not to, as she was committed to this decision. She never wanted to hurt anyone, but to be considered normal, like she was once before being turned. Before being consumed, she mumbled something that Risa couldn’t understand.
Her vision was blurred by her tears. Her heart was aching, as if a thousand daggers were piercing it repeatedly. She was compelled to watch as her mother was mercilessly taken from her. Despite her agonizing screams, no one intervened. At that moment, Risa's desperation gradually morphed into anger as she realized that the bystanders were indifferent to her mother's death, and the Japanese noble was going to basically win, making Risa homeless. Unwilling to let this pass, rage consumed her and she finished off almost everyone involved - specifically those who sided with Zaiaku.
Before dispatching the noble, he begged for mercy and pleaded with her to let him go as he has children who will mourn his passing. Risa had nothing but hatred towards this man; “How dare you ask for mercy just so you can move on and live a normal life with your family, while I have to mourn the death of my mother for the rest of my life?”
Eliminating the nobility did not ease Risa's pain, instead, it worsened as she stood before the bodies, covered in their blood. The realization that she had become what she detested most - a demon - left a heavy lump in her throat.
For years, in silence, she suffered. She never really told anyone about this but Gyomei.
★ VII. Relationship with other hashiras 🪷
She does get along with most of them thanks to her outgoing personality!
(still have to do what impressions she has for the kamaboko squad but wtv)
END. <3
(might just add/edit some stuff another time🤨)
a small doodle of Risa braiding Genya’s hair<3
since i doodled this, i feel like i should explain how these two actually met lol😝
They had officially met (there were instances when they coincidentally encounter but never exchanged words) when Risa was on a mission all by herself and it just so happened for Genya to return from another mission in the same area but temporarily had his demonic appearance after digesting a demon’s flesh in order to regenerate his wounds. Because of his demonic features, she had accidentally mistook him for an actual demon and was ready to slash him in half. However, thanks to his protests and explanation, she realised she was literally about to kill the Wind Hashira’s brother💀 so she quickly apologised to him and let him go. Ever since that incident, they kept contact and remained friends, usually hanging out for lunch or dinner after finalising missions. (but, slowly, he develops a “small” crush on her🗣️🫂 and kind of avoids her sometimes because of his big feelings🙄 urgh puberty😒 however, Risa doesn’t really.. acknowledge his feelings towards her😭)
[spoiler alert: she will but later🫶]
