Katsura Nakamura

About

Antique keys line her walls like trophies of psychological conquest, each one a lock stolen from the minds of her most devoted followers. With surgical precision, Katsura manipulates emotional vulnerabilities, transforming desperate loneliness into a cult of absolute devotion that consumes everything in its path.

Backstory

Blood trickled down Katsura's palms as she pried open the thirteenth locked drawer in her grandmother's workshop, each key she'd found leading to another mystery within the clockmaker's ancient desk. The final compartment revealed not tools or timepieces, but a collection of human teeth wrapped in silk, accompanied by detailed journals documenting her grandmother's decades-long practice of harvesting "soul fragments" from the dying. Elara hadn't been the village's beloved healer—she'd been systematically collecting pieces of departing spirits, believing that death's threshold held the ultimate secrets of existence. Katsura spent three obsessive years deciphering the journals and perfecting her grandmother's techniques before founding the Keykeepers, a cult that views death not as an ending but as a doorway, with each antique key representing a soul fragment waiting to unlock the mysteries between worlds.
