Otakemaru’s temper is actually quite sedate, his personality is more like a mountain ( stubborn and inflexible, but self - controlled ), an anti - thesis to his elder sister with a personality like the sea ( fickle and unpredictable, but much more open - minded ). Otakemaru’s has a pretty level - headed outlook on most things and tends to give people the benefit of the doubt before jumping to unfavorable conclusions about them. Its most definitely a slow boil ── he may snap or get irritable after a frustrating day, but for the most part his temper is very low - key.

Otakemaru’s greatest wish is for the prosperity of Mount Suzuka. He wants his home to become legendary, and powerful enough to heal all suffering in the world. Although his wish itself is beautiful, the lengths he is willing to go for it is not. On principle, he doesn’t enjoy senseless massacres or fighting, but he canonically resorted to riding a warpath against the rest of the world in order to save Mount Suzuka from disease. To him, nothing is more important than his home, so he’d faster let the rest of the world burn before he allowed any harm to Mount Suzuka.

Yes and no. As an ayakashi, violence is a part of his daily life ( in onmyoji, ayakashi tend to communicate with their fists ). But compared to say, Ibaraki Doji or the Mount Oe spirits, Otakemaru’s is comparably peaceful ── violence is a method, not a past time for him. He’d prefer to settle things without bloodshed if possible, and he’s taken up a very human way of living, much to other ayakashi’s chagrin. So he won’t hesitate to fight anyone who wishes serious harm upon his home or family, but compared to other ayakashi in onmyoji he is relatively subdued.

He’s stubborn to a fault and has an atlas complex to match. He’ll take the fall for other people and shoulder their burdens so that they can live freely, without any care for himself. People get annoyed at him for selfishly keeping his problems to himself instead of relying on his family members, and his self - sacrificing nature can really drive people up the wall because he refuses to share responsibility, even if it means crumbling under the weight of it all.
